NYT, Washington Post, and many others, typically allow a few free articles per

All Corana coverage is currently free at NYTimes and WAPO. For WAPO, you have to sign up for a free 'newsletter' and they send you an email containing all of the links to articles (and the newsletter lags somewhat behind the website).

The NYTimes routinely provides free coverage of major disasters.

Yeh UH someone might steal folks germ ladden mask too lol. Ain’t people crazy.

To be fair when we read that we thought you might be expecting the
Zombie Apocalypse.
Seriously we do not judge you all by the utterings of the Orange man,
he is however pretty hard to ignore. We are in total shutdown here as
far as flying is concerned and we just want to get it over. I figured the
best way of doing that is to just get on with it and hope it works. For
what it is worth I think it is the right thing to do.

Martin and my other friends, I think old England would have considered
america’s founding fathers the “loudmouths� of their day, something to

Dunno if thats quite the right term. Dissidents, certainly.

However, I don't know a lot about that time. I moved schools a lot and
ended up with sitting through several repetitions of English Mediaeval
History and was taught very little about any other time or place. Most of
what I think I know of history I learnt much later, and I know a lot more
about the region running east from Hungary to India than I do about the
Americas.

However, I did spend 18 months working in NYC in the mid '70s, with an
apartment at 3rd and 64th in Manhattan, but working out at Long Beach,
Long Island. I commuted on the LIRR, and that was definitely the best way
to organise living and working in NYC. By and large I enjoyed that,
especially after I joined the New York Skyscrapers model flying club and
had fun flying competitions around NY state and down into Maryland.

Sweden and Belarus are operating as normal, don't know about Switzerland.

LOL well ya just gotta forgive us for that tea business, we had cut a deal on a shipload of coffee right before lol. Its just my hackles always rise when folks continually blame the ills of the world on america and our independant lifestyle.
Where is all the condemnation toward china which has given us every pandemic we’ve had the last 50 years, and who ALWAYS spins the truth about their real situation. I guess its not politically correct to point a finger at them, buts its always ok to down the usa. Thats the hypocracy that gets to me.

I don't think China "gave" us the virus, which likely came from bats, and they are
the first victims; regardless, once it got to the US, it's our virus now, and our
response to it determines what happens to us. China was surprised by it, but they
have already tamped it down, while we, even with the benefit of more than a month
of warning and a quarter of the population, have not been able to do so, and we
now exceed China's cases and deaths.

I did not take any comfort in the President's statement that we will be doing a
great job if we keep the deaths to 100,000, and I think the world is wise to worry
about the virus spreading from our country.

There has been no decision made to cancel or postpone the WGC this year. There also seems to be no word from the SSA about the nationals. Anyone know anything?


Yes.
Preliminary decisions have been made, and the final decision about the
WGC at Stendal is going to follow soon.

At the moment all pure glider fields in Europe are closed as well as
most other General Aviation Airports. Gliding is essentially shut down
in all of Europe at the moment for the foreseeable future.

Draw your own conclusion if a WGC in Germany is going to take place.

Switzerland is locked down, like all countries who's leaders have some brains left.
