I guess either way due to the travel restrictions that I do not really agree with ( of course I am biased) and Delta's announcement that they are parking 300 planes and grounding all flights to Europe except London this means time to return to making my rounds here and diverting $X I usually spend per month there to the local girls here. I'd go if I could, I am just not one to live in fear; rather one to enjoy life. When my day comes, it comes. We'll make it thru this, turn off CNN and one might see the sky isn't falling, just the market although got some relief today. IMHO CNN isn't helping world markets either panic peddling this shit here nonstop knowing full well world markets follow Wall Street. Everyone of those assholes should be fired w the exception of Wolff Blitzer; always liked the guy.
Here is what baffles me. Trump issues a travel ban and state of emergency. I get my temperature checked and screened by Delta security in Frankfurt DE. After immigration I got screened again. After security I got grilled by the German Federal Police with questions as hard as El Al Airlines asks. I had no choice but to tell them what I was doing in GER; they won't fall for lies. They had medical check my temperature even my pulse and heartbeat and blood pressure, shined lights in my eyes and all this was leaving. So what about entering the United States?
Nothing !! 'Have you been to China?' was the extent of the screening in the United States. WTF? The Germans are more concerned with me entering the United States than the United States is! The plane was full. 2 other planes landed from GER the same time as well as flights from Paris, Zurich and a few other cities. Thousands of passengers AFTER this ban was announced including EU nationals and US Citizens all just walked right in to this country being asked only about China. Not one person was screened with questions. Not one person was given a health check. This was just Atlanta so I think it is safe to say when you add in JFK LAX SFO ORD DTW IAD etc. that tens of thousands of folks entered this country as if it was any day of the year. My friend arrived today from Madrid; nothing at the Miami airport. ' Welcome back'; the guy had been in Thailand also.
The cuff doesn't match the collar, mass panic in the streets and CNN and nothing being done in the airports? Makes no sense at all.
and disgusting as well, to try to use this as a political poker chip. I just saw on CNN ' Breaking News: President Trump seen shaking hands'; give me a fucking break. Is there not something else going on with this virus worldwide to report on that it is even worth wasting 5 minutes discussing if the President shook hands or not. No government is perfect, none have the answers and this country should take a lesson from some of these other countries and cut this divisiveness behaviour out. As I toggle channels it appears a few wish to panic peddle not just with this virus but the economy. MSNBC had a chart showing the drop in the DOW since President Trump addressed the nation. I guess they missed the memo that the FTSE CAC DAX and every other index from Hong Kong/ Japan, Brazil etc. all getting butchered. Only the DOW! All because of Trump. What a bunch of biased bullshit; It's disgusting to see all this shit being reported on in a fashion ' anything to get this President out. These fuckers sure can make up crap for their viewers but seems they forget the China travel ban weeks ago. Grotesque and unfair reporting adding to the fears of the average viewer for political gain. Simply wrong.
and we have food, water and plenty of facilities for what we will face and we will not run out of toilet paper. My advise is turn off the television and simply follow your heart and your gut and as always..
to each their own.. As you wish.. Have fun either way. If one wants to not engage in P6 so be it, I respect their choice and am not out to judge anyone.
