could be artifacting, and iirc the first one is likely the result of a hosed up camera gimbal (one of the videos is titled gimbal.mp4 which means that's probably what the navy suspected too)

or could be someone (including us) playing around with fancy classified unmanned drone tech

or could be aliens :shrug:

i think aliens is by far the least likely possibility

so i heard the “covid deaths are inflated bc hospitals get more money from covid patients” conspiracy poo poo from a friend the other day and given im a big dumb idiot didnt really know what to say other than “gently caress if i know.” how do i explain this is bullshit?

the story in con circles is hospitals get $39,000 extra from FEMA for CV patients, and they're all misdiagnosing/mistreating every case to get that money. none of the doctors, nurses, techs, admin staff, billing clerks, or family members of sick/dead patients ever say anything about it. no family members of misdiagnosed patients, many of whom are dead, have started any malpractice/wrongful death suits anywhere, because they're in on it too? I guess? even though malpractice lawsuit payouts are typically in the millions and even one loss would wipe out 50-100 $39k FEMA payments. thus, ...

It's horseshit because Medicare billing forms don't give a gently caress about the diagnosis, they bill based on procedure codes. ICU time is ICU time, it doesn't matter whether you're in the ICU for covid-19 or for sepsis.

in any other time a president would send about 60x what was needed and have 80 million photo ops.

Trump will also ensure it's not 'sporadic' anymore as well. There just won't be any.

trump has an amazing knack for altering reality on the fly

something was just said that upsets you? no, no, that's not possible, they're wrong, its the opposite, you did great and they are bad and probably jealous of how good you did, actually

I've been trying to get this across to people since the election, Trump literally believes he has magical powers to control reality :shrug:

like when he says over and over that the Spanish Flu outbreak was in 1917, it's not because he's lying, it's not a mistake, it's him declaring a false thing and willing the universe to make it become true. he does this all the loving time, it's 100% sincere

he probably really thinks he's helping too, saying fewer people died and making it become true, to him means literally they stop being dead :shrug:

nb: this is a very bad trait for a nation's leader to have

this is how rich people work. especially those who were born rich. They say things it happens.

In cases with rich politicians it's the same thing. His supporters will just slow walk whatever death counting activities they can. Get enough people doing this piddly poo poo and the number will go down reinforcing his dumb wish

Next time I buy trip protection for a flight I need to read the fine print. Allianz came back to me about my claim and said:

code:
Your plan excludes coverage for losses due to an epidemic.
Your plan does not provide coverage for losses due to an event that was known, foreseeable, intended, or expected when your plan was purchased. 
It's designed to protect you when there is a sudden, unexpected problem or emergency.
Unfortunately, your destination being restricted or inaccessible due to the Coronavirus outbreak is not included among those reasons.
Thankfully AA reimbursed me the full amount anyway. Not sure if I bought a refundable ticket at the time but i'll take it.

quote:

The final comments the president made were on opening schools:
"I would like to see schools open, wherever possible, which I think is in much of the country, most of the country. No, I would say that until everything is perfect I think that the teachers that are a certain age -- perhaps you say over 60, especially if they have a problem with heart or diabetes or any one of a number of things -- I think that they should not be teaching school for a while. And everybody would understand that probably. That we understand. But other than that, we see how well children seem to do. Incredible. You realize how strong children are, right? Their immune system is maybe a little bit different, maybe just a little bit stronger. Or maybe it's a lot stronger, right? Could be a lot stronger. We've learned a lot by watching this monster."

Not even close. Passengers are down like 95%, there are still a ton of planes in the air. As of the last time I worked 9 days ago my facility was still doing about 2000 operations a day, down from the normal 5-6000 a day we'd usually be seeing. Low altitude traffic has gone up.
