All of this extraordinary effort to evade a reasonable order to protect our entire population is why we will have deaths in the millions, not a couple of hundred thousands. Since everyone else also obviously knows better than epidemiologists and public health professionals how to protect all of...

Yeah, well neither of those will ever happen. We will just go back to doing what we were before, only more so. Witness the US administration lowering the auto fuel economy standards and raising the emissions limits while everyone is distracted by the virus. If you expect people to become...

The Zandaam loaded pax on March 5 IIRC, long after we all knew how dangerous cruise ships could be. At what point does humanitarian obligation stop in the face of willful misbehavior. If someone jumps into the rapids above a waterfall does the lifeguard have an obligation to die in a useless...

I watch dish on an HD5, will that help?

I am interested, what can you tell me about yours? Storage box? Charger? Condition?

Great they seeded a second ship with the virus.

There are 2 Norwegians and a Carnival tied up on the St Johns River.

One thing the world has yet to see is the effect of COVID19 in the less developed world. It will be horrendous once we begin to see what happens in Africa, Indonesia, Latin America, etc. With no health service beyond small clinics, every serious case will be fatal. Death tolls will be in the...

Nope, we anchored off of Daytona last night.

Why should they? They are not American companies. That decision to domicile overseas to save on taxes does not look so smart now does it?

Yes, because panicked people that are seeing their loved ones die horribly are just so rational and reasonable, amirite?

I wonder what will happen in a month or two when there are hundreds of deaths on the islands and locals process the fact that the virus was brought to them by tourists?

Alzero is 32 years old and we pay $40 a year for Florida registration. The tender is a 2008 and we owe a lot more, can’t recall offhand how much though.

To answer your boating question: styles change and what the old people liked is not what the young people like. The same thing will happen when they are old. As long as the olds are buying new stuff then the market will supply what it takes to get their money. But as soon as they slow their...

You do realize that the Spanish Flu of 1918 was first seen in Kansas? Wartime censorship prevented reporting it until it reached neutral Spain where the local papers printed stories about it. These were picked up by US and European papers and reported as the Spanish Flu. But really it came from...

I worked out at the engine test site between Parker and Quartzite for a year and had a place on the Parker Strip. That’s where I bought my first trailer boat: a Bayliner with a Force outboard. We were doing power and fuel qualifications on the Pratt&Whitney engines for the C-17. The test site...

Well, as long as your not judgmental about your virtue signaling......

What if your slow old diesel pollutes more than fast new outboards burning unleaded gasoline? Not saying it does, but it might........

No, but they might have jurisdiction over the water and the docks.

Are we at the bottom yet? It’s hard to see how another 6 to 8 weeks of a shut down economy would not have downward pressure on the markets. We have not even seen any financial institutions fail yet due to business failures and uncollectable loans.

It’s like pornography: we can’t define it, but we all know it when we see it.

I sold everything and am now in FDIC insured accounts. I gave back all the gains of the past 12 months and am happy it was no worse.

Then China should do well since they are the manufacturing center now, like the US was in 1946. Now if everyone here wants yoga lessons and other services we will pick up too.

Yes Pharma would be profitable at Canadian prices. Just not as exorbitantly profitable. Even at European prices..... do you think they are selling at a loss over there?

I just watched Justin Trudeau make the announcement. My goodness, what a calm empathetic demeanor. He seemed compassionate and caring. I think the only time he mentioned himself was when he went in to get his coat! You got the feeling that none of this was about him and that the most important...
