What Flight Schools Are Doing About COVID-19 - AVweb

Has anyone been into a Lowe’s or Walmart? It’s like a rave party. This literally has to be the most overblown and over-reacted to situation in my lifetime. The CDC has changed its position so many times, the only thing they have demonstrated is that they clearly know nothing. The data and models are flawed making any number suspect.

Is it real? Yes. Is it deadly? For some, yes. For most no. Should we be taking precautions? Yes. Should we be going insane? No.

A few minutes researching how COVID—19 deaths are counted should be done by anyone wishing to say the sky is falling. The data is so corrupted it’s nearly worthless.

I say this every flu season (and COVID-19 is deadlier than the flu), people should social distance from each other even if they aren’t sick, they should wear masks if they feel sick or better yet, stay home and self-isolate so as to not bring your sickness to others at home or at work. Wash you hands. Keep your hands away from your face. Work from home during flu season. These are all simple things to prevent transmission. But no, this is not what happens. Instead, after watching commercial after commercial about being sick, people run to the drugstore and buy some sort of masking agent and then off they go back into the community spreading their sickness.

I don’t understand this focus on flight training, airlines are the problem, mailing sardine-canned people in airplanes that get not much more than pick up the trash cleaning between flights, then packing another Petri dish of who knows what around the globe at 500 knots which only amplifies the efficiency of virtual infection by orders of magnitude.
