Evening everyone. Well guess what, I didn't have to go to Triage this morning. I had a spider bite on my temple that was inflamed and bruise up a bit
for the last 2 days, but feel OK with very little thumping
OK ATS members and any one else there in net world that wants to put up with my bedtime stories (well, changes during the old mans napping time too
)
Update: Feb. 18, 2020 Tuesday 10 pm Tokyo time - New York 8 am (hey you guys wake up ) London 1 pm (time for another beer ) Sydney midnight
(hmm. )
Diamond Princess cruise ship (is it for sale yet ?)
1. 88 tested positive today
2. 65 of them show no symptoms
3. 542 cases have been confirmed. 681 tested today
4. ? on this one, but maybe right, 10 infected now have been released from hospital
5. a new hospital just built (get this, hasn't even opened yet) will house the infected on the ship (southern comfort folks) brand spank'n new ( I
hope word doesn't get out on this one, people from all over the world might now try to come here)
6. those passengers that showed negative and have no symptoms may be able to start to leave tomorrow (maybe an "if" will follow) I say this because
there is more to this , but I don't want to go into detail other then I hope the international travelers have the help of their Embassies here on this
one, or their credit card is good. They may end up not liking what in store for them. "transportation" can be a real pain in a foreign country and
where will they stay until the plane arrives to take them home
