The London mayor cut the number of London Underground trains “to reduce the spread of the coronavirus outbreak”. This was the London Underground this morning, the result of his genius –
Sadiq Khan is hopeless and way out of his depth. We all know that. But we are in a lockdown with all but “essential” workers supposed to be at home. Don’t tell me that these are all “essential” workers. London is a city heading straight toward disaster, because people are too selfish to just stay at home.
The Financial Times has a useful coronavirus stats tracker, for those so inclined. Today we see that New York and Madrid are (so far) tracking above Lombardy. Maybe London is too, which is the UK’s most intensely affected region.
She wants – Mandates climate change studies – Forces airlines to spend money on carbon offsets—not workers – Massive union giveaways, Cancellation of ALL Student Debt, election audits, same-day voter registration She’s holding the American people’s well-being hostage to her liberal agenda.
The British government effectively nationalised the railways today. It barely registers. Boris will speak to the country this evening. Substantial announcements are coming.
National Guard deployments are coming to New York, Washington and California as total confirmed cases go above 35,000.
Two weeks ago the NHS had 5000 ventilators. It’s reported that’s now up to 12,000 thanks, in part, to nimble manufacturers (engineers are great) regearing to make them.
One of those manufacturers is Gtech, a young-ish and small-ish manufacturer of cordless vacuum cleaners, garden tools and electric bikes. My mum has one of their vacuum cleaners and says it’s great. Really light and does the job.
They started thinking about how to make ventilators on 15th March, eight days ago. They are now making their design details public, of a ventilator which doesn’t require electricity to operate.
Last night at 6pm EST the Senate Democrats and Nancy Pelosi decided that their Partisan Politics was more important than Emergency Relief for the American People.
If I explain it to you or I pull the info from Fox you’ll accuse me of being a Partisan. Hugh Hewitt is a conservative but he is the most non-partisan commentator you will ever listen to, honest and fair. Please Please watch the video so you understand what just happened.
While not a particularly large community ATW is a particularly loyal community. Many regulars have been here for a decade. On an obviously voluntary basis I thought it might be nice to post a check in post, weekly, which I’ll ask no one to derail with side issues, during this post. We have some basic ideas about each other but I’d imagine some might be interested in how folks here are doing. Feel free not to participate.
Me? I live an hour north of New York City. Im not commuting in to work daily as I’m apparently non essential. No one on household is sick though my 87 year old father in law lives with us and I’m obviously concerned given the statistics. Grocery stores are still full. I worry many of our small business owners here are already doomed. My kids (3) are in middle school and my guess not going back any time soon. Im hopeful my employer remains afloat but who knows. Im reconciled to months of difficulty are headed this way. The mix of normal and abnormal is disconcerting.
ATW does not operate on fresh air! We have running costs and if you want to give us a hand, once a year, then HIT THE TIP and feed the beast that is our hosting company!
You do not defeat terrorism by rewarding terrorists, regardless of how many bleeding heart liberals argue otherwise. Want to know where that flawed approach leads to? Read UNIONISM DECAYED 1997-2007 - It's my first book and it explains what happens when you seeek to appease terrorists and call it peace. It's available right now for ATW readers so make sure you get your copy by emailing the editor! This is the book that dissents from the herd mentality that doing wrong can lead to being right. It doesn't and this book spells out WHY.
