The people in the profession we know that got a severe case of china flu ALL had at least one or more of the following:

Obese (per CDC BMI info)
Heart
Respiratory
Renal
Cancer(s)
Smokers
Diabetics

The flu bug running around 3 years ago nuked my wife, then me. It is the worse flu I've ever had. Thus far no china flu for her or me. She continues to test negative (they require her to be tested regularly - someone making $$$$ on that). Further they are not going to take the china flu vax, not now anyway. Maybe sometime down the road once they see what the long term side effects are - that's why the shot is an EXPERIMENTAL vaccine issued under EMERGENCY guidelines. Your GF should understand what that means if she really is an MD.

I will maintain the lies behind the china flu that you believe to be true are an absolute, totally contrived fairy tale to drive you to seek a solution from an entity that does not ever have your best interests and freedoms in mind. Don't take what I just wrote to mean I think the virus does not exist. It does. The levels of response governments have applied to the virus are where they are killing you. By design.

Your industry is going to be wrecked as a result. Travel and leisure will soon be the only in the purview of a select few - those that are "government", their lapdogs and their enablers. The wealth you've enjoyed from being in its employ will be ruined and you will find yourself very quickly on the other side of capitalism. Same for the medical profession. I hope you enjoy your ride to serfdom.

I got influenza flu (B) on a snowboarding trip in Hokkaido Japan two years ago. It was horrible but I had no chance of dying from it. Fever of 104 etc.

So when you say "your industry" that means not only that you are not a Delta pilot, you are not even in the airline industry.

SO WHY ARE YOU ON HERE????

just asking.

Arguing with his former peers on the internet is all he has left.

Just to be clear...I don’t blame him..I’ll be there someday too.

But for the J&J one, however, when they publish their data, she'll take a look at it and probably give me the thumbs up. I honestly hope for the green light. Oh, and BOILER UP, BoilerUP!



If you didn't figure it out from the others who responded, he took the VEOP. But regardless, surely you don't think only active pilots can post on here...

Only the rich, the powerful, the famous, or the retired get to do that anymore. Phins paid his dues. He's as much right as anyone to say his piece here.
