Agreed! In todays culture there is no such thing as objective truth or facts. Opinions have replaced truth and facts in the 24 hour news cycle.

This is interesting.

Story basically says American Airlines 198 to Milan had to cancel because the crew refused to fly it.

This is rapidly becoming another "mass hysteria" event. Hmmm..

there’s a bit more to “refused to fly it.” if you know someone at AA, ask for the details.

They didn't have classes past March 3rd so technically cancelled one class. Also, have no growth with the MAX problems and much more tied to the Asia market. So not completely the same.

The NE journal of medicine has an interesting factoid..

Of note, there were no cases in children younger than 15 years of age. Either children are less likely to become infected, which would have important epidemiologic implications, or their symptoms were so mild that their infection escaped detection, which has implications for the size of the denominator of total community infections…

…If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.2

We may be about to go off a cliff but we are not quite there yet - two Greenslips in my category today.
