Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Cigaretts??? Too wimpy. Cigar...

Amazonas now is the worst in the country on a percentage basis -- 19.1 confirmed cases per 100,000 inhabitants, vs. 7.5 national average, and 16.7 for the Federal District.  Cases
are still increasing exponentially, in spite of the shutdown.  Secretary of Health has been  replaced, and I hope that we'll be seeing tighter enforcement going forward.

Amazonas and the Federal District are travel
corridors. So higher incidence.  I hope there
will be more stringent controls.

The Ministério de Saúde reported today 19,638 confirmed cases and rising with already 1,056 deaths.

The state of São Paulo is predicting 100,000 deaths of their residents within 6 months with COVID-19.

Ok friends, the IRS site to enter your bank information for direct deposit of stimulus checks is up. This is for people who did not file taxes in years 2018 & 2019 or people who did not file because they had an income below the threshold. People receiving SS retirement pensions, SSDI and survivor´s benefits don´t have to do anything because IRS has already the DD information on file.

https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economi … t-payments

Enjoy!

If you´re going to use the site, do it quickly because as the rush goes on, the site might crash!

The "GET MY PAYMENT" is for people who filed their taxes.

Looked at my Bank Account....Stimulas Payment Deposit  Pending April 15....(interesting date).....I will have to go back for the other 1,200....after the powers that be Approve the "Married  Joint 1040x" I am not leaving any free money on the table, yet I am wondering was the  Stimulas Information  came from the  IRS or SSA....

Cubano necessary....the amonia is nice...lol

Hi guys,
Being local, I will let you know if anything happens.
Now Mr. Trump wants to reignite the country on May 1st.  If things are better by then and he does reopen, if the contamination goes up again he will be done.
I guess both our countries are in bad hands.

Gosh Ron. It's like reigniting a dynamite fuse. May is too soon. There wll be waves of reoccurrence.

It maybe necessary,  it's like the measles, chicken pox, polio, sars, aids I maybe alone and maybe think wrong, it will not matter if it opens or shuts down as of now I think this "Incubation Period" isn't working, Damn if He Do , Damn if he Don't. ..

it's easy to "Arm Chair Coach and Quarterback " I am like "Put the Team on the Feild" " NO One Lives Forever and Fear Kills".

I was reading a article last night and it spoke of the more exposure the more one may become immune, trial vaccines begin next week, 2 Vaccines , more than 20 on the feild, 1 year till possible ready for Innoculation...

at 64 years of age to old to be a "Guinea Pig" to jaded /calloused to go for anything and as I can see it now "Anything Goes".

Brasil has not had its day yet with this thingy...I even refuse to use the Virus name...

I am emphatic yet can we continue to "Isolate/Quarantine " forever .

There will allways be a "Carrier/ This thing may become Seasonal.....forecast June- September then Flu Season begins.....

We'll be observing quarantine until ALL of the following occur:
1. The Governor of Amazonas lifts it, and
2. The daily number of cases reported in Manaus stops increasing, and is on a clear, unambiguous downward trend, and
3. The health authorities agree that it's safe to start returning to normal activities again.

Viruses aren't sentient:  they don't respond to optimism, they don't get discouraged by defiance, they don't retreat from bravado.  They only exist to replicate and disperse their genetic material, and any available host will do.

Don't be an available host.

"Office Hours" (USMC Art 15)? You were a bad boy?

I hope, if it reopens, that you are correct.

Just do not know when. Foz spent 7.5 million for additional beds (100), and 40 respirators in Feb.
To date still holding at 29 confirmed and deaths.
There is amendment to partial opening of Barber and salon shops and a few others to 50% of fire code people and private security allow only the people to stay 3m spacing. ( will open for discussion on the 21st) All mercados have been under sanitize all carts and hand carries after each use. Some smaller mercados had to shut down due to costs.
Currently C. Policia has issued 4 fines each maximum. $R 8,600.

BBC , 22 hours  ago ...1000 Deceased Brasil.......Don't like Statistics yet it  is such....
Office Hours" (USMC Art 15)? You were a bad boy?

Struck a Fellow Enlisted , first it was a Superior, somehow the Charge dropped, and reduced to Striking Fellow Enlisted, the Colonel Controlled Destiny...amazing when one greets the Colonel everyday things happen...lol....true story...
And the the OSI inquiry...lol....those guys were funny...lmao....

Quarermaster...Operation "Jackfrost"

Loved Shemya...The Blackbirds. ....lol.....Attu Island....

Was feeling a bit unusual so got a test today.  Not many people there, quick and simple. Will know in a co8uple of days.

Ron let us know.

Blackbird holds the official Air Speed Record for a manned airbreathing jet engine aircraft with a speed of 3,530 km/h (2,193 mph). I could 98 km/h
Man, Attu! No is there..........

Wow!  The Blackbird does nearly one kilometer each second. 
If it were flying very low one would not be able to really see it.  It would be like a flash.
I have stood next to one, in Arizona, and it really is impressive.

Snoopy and the Red Baron, very impressive, we never saw them...lol...but you could hear them babies SCREAM....that's my story and it ends...lol...you know the code...lmbo....can only say seen @ Airshow. ..kkk
Now let's talk about landing a Electra 188 with a 35 mph crosswind and taking off with a 60 mph crosswind...up and away with the tail...lol...God bless a Turbo Prop....

188 is easier than a little Cessna (heavier). Just "crab " into the cross wind and last second touch down on windward wheel(s) and use a lot of rudder on the ground.
Now on a carrier.........you have are "puckered"! Luck for me I could just hover and slide into the carrier or runway. (Runway, I don't need no stink'n runway)
Those "bush pilots" can out fly many!

Yup , Just made my journy from canada, to usa, then to brasil, just landed a few hours ago, Ill tell you what i saw first hand in my travels.

While in canada , a cleaner at the airport coughed at me , called me a dirty gringo ( was wearing my brasil baseball cap so all nice yellow and green ) and not wearing a mask. So must have some resentment towards brasil. lol. asides from that, go through checkout no one checked my temperature, asked if i had any symptoms, cool - got on the plane, only 3 other people going from toronto to orlando airport, got off at orlando airport to no tsa check for coming in the country, was just off the plane then free to wander the airport, staff not wearing masks ( well maybe about 25% from what i visually saw i didnt scour the airport )

so 10 hour layover , stayed in the hotel for a long time to pass the time was too excited to sleep because coming home,

Get to pickup my ticket and lots of people being denied entry as they stated at azul airlines " you cannot pass as international travel is not possible for estrangiera , lots of angry people. but i had to do the machismo bit when i got my turn to speak to a supervisor after a battle of witty words. Supervisor comes over and even though i am brazilian through child, if i didnt pay that exuberant visa overstay i would of been denied regardless lol. which obviously came with juros,

Get on the brazil plane full of old people, crippled people all returning home not a seat was free.  got to VCO 0 issues there as the airline advised of my coming via whatsapp,  get on my transfer flight - again full plane. lol but everyone on the brazil flights was all wearing masks and sanitizer for days, but im going to assume this was middle class ++ as the cost of the tickets are quite expensive right now.


now before i spend time with my kiddo, waiting 2 - 4 weeks before i have her over to make sure all is well

New cases down in Amazonas for the second day in a row.  "It is not the end.  It is not even the beginning of the end.  But it may be the end of the beginning. "  If we are very lucky, and keep up the social isolation.  🤞

What´s really concerning is it´s ability to cause pneumonia - a slow and excruciating suffocation. Once they put you on the ventilator, it´s almost over. That´s why before the hospital intubate you for the ventilator in the states, they let you call your loved ones first.

It would help a lot with Trump´s reelection if he waits a little more than May. If he does reopen in May, I suspect it will be the end of his political career.

And I already thought Biden was not electable...

Well, the Bidens can always look for a brighter future in Ukraine if all else fail. Hunter is already set.

No Matter what Trump Does "He Will Be Re-Elected, If there is a Election ...."National Emergency Excutive Order"

And I already thought Biden was not electable...He Has Dementia...and which city is he in, a Virtual Convention..

That Kids a Crackhead.....To Much Controversy. ....

I Love The Republic....

If the American People look at what "Obummer, Killary,  and Slick Willie" Pizzagate,, Ukraine,Russia Uranuim, Little Lolita a Demonrat would never be elected to be a dog catcher, love my Country, Love my Fellow North Americans yet they are some of the mist "Forgetful People on the Planet"

Shut Everything Down Till September. ....

"Shut Everything Down Till September." ....

The best solution. Every boundaries globally; businesses closed all at once - worldwide. Better to overreact than underreact. Just look at NY. You can´t afford Piccolo doing his business as usual in Italy while Frida is locked down sucking her thumb in Germany...

People has to be wiser and look at the statistics. Milan reopened early and there was a devastation in a week or so. Too late when they learned their lesson.

The US doubled COVID-19 cases every 6 days or so. It slowed down significantly after businesses were closed. Now 2,000 dead and 30,000 new cases everyday. If not because of the shutdown, it could be more...

Open the Bars, Churches and Grocery Stores...Universal Income for All and "Disinfect Everything"....
I think I will open a 3 Mile Restaurant. .I need the Social Distancing. ..

It's all out of Control...

You of course realize that a country´s economy begins to become fragile after 2 months of shutdown. 6 months to September would be really humbling and could become THE GREAT GLOBAL DEPRESSION equal only if not more than 1929. That´s why Trump is hurrying to reignite the US economy next May. I suspect only 5 months can trigger that crisis. Every nation on earth is indebted including its citizens so the only solution would be really to write off every indebtedness, forgive its others debts and start anew.

Going back to the gold standard would be great. The last time I looked gold could be worth $10,000 an ounce or more if that occurs. Time to put GLD or a Junior Miner´s ETF to one´s investment portfolio?

Yup, its a Global Reset...and Precious Metals are the Key...

See that "Gold Inkwell" on the USD.....Notice the Inscription. ....

The Way things are going Global now , it seems as if the "Depression" Arrived in "February " were 2 months in already...


Still in Camp with you Doc...I got the "Memo" .

Technically, we´re still in a global recession. Next phase is global depression. The thing to watch is when China dumps all their US treasury notes and starts buying physical gold and gold equities. Be watchful of the price increases of GLD...

I don´t think Trump will open business as usual come May first... Double the amount on the coming second stimulus check?
