Default What have we learned from all this?

Interesting situation that we are all faced with the last few weeks, things are more serious than we ever expected. I was having a great discussion last evening with my family member who is an Infectious Disease MD, the discussion was eye opening! This is a game changer, and China has much to blame for not informing the world about what was happening with this virus.
The doctors in China that alerted the gov about what was happening have disappeared, probably shot in some kind of firing line. Infection was spread globally during this time of silence from the Chinese.
The good to come out of this is that Trump understands how vulnerable us as Americans are due to our lack of manufacturing that has been shipped abroad. We as a country will be in a much better position after this pandemic declines. Medications will once again be made in America, our dependency will be less on the global work force and our country will be better equipped to deal with the next medical crisis that exist. I have for some time been following the work of Dr. Jacob Glanville, who is funded by the Gates foundation. It was interesting to listen to his understanding of this situation and how it will be defeated.
Flaming liberals are still blaming Trump for this species threatening virus, just tune into the twisted media and listen to what these so called educated idiots are saying, tell me that Jim Acosta is playing with a full deck. Does he really think that this country has a respirator for every person!
What goes??? Bob


Well, what have we really learned, just to make a few observations one can conclude that things will probably take longer to get back to normal as we understand normality.Food supplies are in danger of being limited as farmers cannot get food and cattle to markets. Gasoline prices are cheap, I paid 1.67 per gallon today, last time we saw that was the day GW Bush left office. Airlines are in turmoil, no passengers and fewer routes. Restrictions are taking a toll, you cannot even get a haircut in Florida. Georgia governor thinks tattoos are so important that the shops must reopen. The governor of NY thinks that New Yorker's keep the economy of Florida rolling. Trying to find a roll of toilet paper in a store is nearly impossible, thank goodness for the USA Today, a bit rough but it works.
Glider activity has been curtailed, not many dual flights and lessons, no baseball, cannot even go to Outback and get the special. Drove by Walmart today and say a 300 lb lady wearing a two piece tank top, WOW, that was ugly! I have seen a few good OLC flights lately and it looks like Moriarty is looking active and posting a few good flights. Take care and I hope everyone stays safe and enjoy their gliders.


I think what I have learned is I should have kept my ASH-26e all those years ago. I am starting to understand the benefits of a self launcher.
