  1. I am thinking, in light of many other recent deaths of celebs in their 80s, that we in the U.S. at least will start seeing an increase of this in a few years as the beginning waves of Baby Boomers hit the end of their life expectancy.

  2. So I found this, which seems to corroborate the French findings and some efforts by the Chinese. If I get sick I am willing to try it over waiting for Big Pharma to find a timely answer. We really don't have the time to wait for all the trials to determine the safety of the treatment considering all else that is going on.

    Only if I am dying, of course. Not going to drink it if I'm relatively symptom free.

  3. 7 hours ago, smitty44 said:

    Kit decals, that's funny! Who uses Trumpyboss decals? That's like when the vegans were suing Dairy Queen for not selling any non dairy options.

    Sounds like a business opportunity the Vegans should take up instead of forcing others to their will, but honestly who would go to Non-Dairy Queen?

  4. Not sure why people bring up Hobby Boss using vinyl tires when Tamiya's Zero, Corsair, and Mustang have them (don't have the Spitfire but I assume they're the same). That part should be a non-issue considering the mediocre state of kit armor tracks and aircraft wheels in general.

  5. Flu viruses don't like heat; the Southern Hemisphere will handle this better than the Northern. Also, the virus started hitting the U.S. after February, which was the peak flu month. China has big issues with social distancing--people get too close and they spit everywhere. Italy has a culture that keeps generations of families living together and public displays of affection such as kissing relatives on the lips. These are habits that have made things worse for some countries. More than half of Italy's deaths have been people with three or more pre-existing breathing impairments; less than 1% have had no impairment when they contracted coronavirus. Declines are started to be reported for areas that have really held to social distancing.

    We will beat this. There will be some loss but we will beat this.

  6. Atlanta's IPMS show is cancelled for tomorrow (3/21) as is ToyLanta, the big toy/memorabilia show. I had been looking forward to those, as was my wife actually. She's been trapped with two teenagers all week as well as creating video lessons for her actual students while I myself have still had to go in to work all week, so this would have been a great way to get out and have a little fun for a change.

     

    Also probably going to be missing some upcoming concerts as well, which definitely has me less than chuffed.

  7. I remember years ago watching the X-Files spin-off, 'The Lone Gunmen'. The pilot episode was about a rogue government group remote-piloting a jetliner into the Twin Towers with an idea to pin it on another group. I thought to myself that seemed like a pretty dumb thing to do.

     

    Six months later I watched a plane do that exact thing into the side of Tower 2 while I stood on the street below.

    So, yeah, some people will do some things.
