    The coach ticket thing has annoyed me more. Boring to explain but they're basically charging me for a whole new ticket and calling it an amendment. I'll take it up with them separately though and try and claim something back. Also I'm going to have twelve hours waiting around at Heathrow for the new coach. But hey ho at least I am getting home at all : ) providing nothing drastic happens in the next 24 hours.

    I had a LOL at an article this morning about the airlines and how they're doing it tough because businesses are going to learn about new technology like webcams etc for state meetings. And I Lol'd because they were worried this would effect the future. So like, make the air flights cheaper? Haha.

    Might end up getting a few wins out of this one.

    If many airlines go bust, there will be less competition and therefore higher prices for plane tickets.

    Unless airports and government charge less fees and taxes.

    I don't believe the airplane fiasco. Been running company for 50 year ripping passengers off less than a week of disrupted flights "were going to be broke in 4hrs" lol.

    The more I think about it, the more I realise how dumb this shit is.

    You don't have to isolate the whole population

    The have holding camps near the airports in China for incoming travellers, I assume it probably extends to foreigners than were in one of the infected provinces trying to get into the airport on their way out

    Not "shocking" numbers by any means... But, Monday there were 50 cases of coronavirus in my state... Yesterday, 67... Today, 88.

    It hasn't even spiked yet. Wait a few days.


    Oh, and barber shops are closed.

    The county I live in declared a state of emergency today. This gives the judge-executive emergency powers. Still no cases of covid-19 though.

    I was shocked by that number as well from 300 the previous day to 475 deaths in Italy in only one day.

    Experts in the field are saying in three weeks America will exceed that number per day.
