Google Ads already has four fill in ads on APC on this subject. Anyone know how to disable them?

Delta opened down 18%. Kind of dumb to sell now, just tossing shares off a cliff until the market digests the news.

If you use Firefox and install Adblock then you don't see the ads :-)

Bar, that is what I use. It is awesome.
Updates every few weeks to block more ads.

Also from a security standpoint. Firefox does not have the holes in it that Explorer or AOL browser have.

I know you're just joking around, but I'd much rather have a job than be able to non-rev somewhere.

Your not going to be able to non-rev out of the U.S. before long because they are going to shut down travel in and out of the U.S.

It's already too late - and are they going to close Canada and Mexico border crossings as well? The Mexican border is a sieve as it is.

Don't forget all shipping and rail as well......in other words it will not make a difference. In home quarantine and limiting public exposure when sick will have a far greater containing effect. Hopefully common sense will prevail here.
