What I have been noticing as of late, people are itching to bust loose. Things are starting to look up and there will be further easing of the restrictions in the month of May and into a June. How that translates for the airline business going forward tis anybody’s guess but for now there is a dim ...

Why aren’t there lines of refrigerated trucks for cancer and flu deaths but there are for COVID?? Why aren’t there lines of refrigerated trucks for cancer and flu deaths but there are for COVID?? Good point. Lots of bodies can pile up quickly, as we have seen. I feel like that makes it pretty obvio...

Hey RippleRock, Mr. Saviour of the Economy, if we go with minimal restrictions to try to save the economy, what would you propose we do with inevitable overflowing hospitals? Do we send people home to die? Do you think people will be on board with this? What about all the healthcare workers? @#$! th...

All this tiresome talk about media fear-mongering, yet it’s the government doctors calling the shots or at least making recommendations to the feds. Are some people implying that the doctors decisions are being influenced by the media? It’s such a dumb argument. Most people aren’t really that scared...

How is that a benefit?

Safety (obviously).

The internet and its forums are a rich trove and haven for unmuzzled pseudo-intellectualists, and all of their intemperate personal theories.

Once the pandemic has passed, the economies of the world will regain strength again. In fact, there will be a massive surge trying to get back to normalcy. What? Literally every economist out there is saying the complete opposite of you. A long and slow recovery. What suddenly makes you an expert o...

people will want to travel as soon as possible after being caged up in their homes for the last few weeks. Yeah, with all the money they’ve saved while on EI, right? I’m sure they’ll be in great financial shape for a vacation. The staggering, growing EI application numbers are all you need to know ...

Go away. Honestly, screw you man. I’m non-vulnerable but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t potentially die from it. I’m not taking my chances on your behalf.

This thread is a train wreck lol (we all knew it would be).

It’s amazing how self-righteous and know-it-all pilots can be, relying on their own unique, revolutionary ideas, concepts, and pseudoscience, rather than having faith in the doctors of the world and people with actual medical expertise. Everyone is trying to save the economy from behind their keyboa...

Truth is, it’s rarely like that. Very rarely are medical decisions the difference between life and death. My parents were both paramedics and it floored me when my mother said that she had maybe actually saved one or two people in 30 years of service. I’ve seen that flying medevac for the last few ...

Me thinks that the authorities are in panic mode, and we are going to suffer their consequences. Rationality has departed the building. What are you talking about? The ICU’s are overflowing and you’re questioning the rationality of all the preventative measures in place to stop the spread of the vi...

I'd be very curious to know how that could possibly be determined.

Science. It’s amazing!
