The nature of cutbacks... They weren’t doing a thorough cleaning anyway. None of these public places were. This includes office spaces; work restrooms, anywhere you can name.

“I know” folks. They start out with good intentions, but it doesn’t last. They lose the momentum... quick. Others are just plain lazy, trifling. They do just enough to “get by” and quit; They become slack and don’t care. There are those who are dedicated to “the cause”, but they are few and far between, and they can’t possibly fill in for those who are not. :nono:

It imperative for everyone to be vigilant; to have a travel pack with us, at all times, to sanitize everything we come into contact with.

This is the same airline where passengers were getting sucked out of windows a couple of years ago, but everyone still loves them for some reason so I don’t know why anyone is surprised. :rose:

They're the only airline that offers 'free luggage' up to two (2). Plus two carry-ons. I took full advantage of it because whenever I traveled because a carry-on wasn't enough. :look:

Sucks about the cleaning (or lack thereof). I'm sure the other airlines will follow suit, (if they haven't already).

Don't forget no penalties for ticket changes/cancellations.

^^^ then Spirit came along and said “hold my beer” :lol: you probably have to pay extra for Covid cleaning per seat SMH
:rofl: gurrrrlllll :lol: But that “spirit” couldn’t be trusted. Unless your carry-on is the size of a child’s lunchbox, you had to pay huge for a piece of luggage.

Alligent (sp?) and other one named Blue, have so many hidden charges, you could own your own plane and private pilot ‍✈️

I’m scared to fly JetBlue again. The first and only time I ever flew with them was for my current job to Boston. It was my first trip to a site with clear blue skies and out of nowhere the turbulence was so severe everyone was scared out of their minds and had me calling out to Jesus thinking I wasn’t going to make it. :nono:

That’s the name, Jet Blue Airlines. Those “Toy Airplanes” can be scary. But you called on the Right name to protect you, Jesus:yep:

I don’t doubt that they have cut back on sanitizing the passenger areas as well. I think Southwest spoke up before they were exposed.

:lol: Wow...that’s some tank.

I wish this Covid was a “toy virus”. Seriously, I’d never replace the batteries for it to continue. Enough is Enough of this pandemic.

Way to go New Zealand! Definitely GOLD STAR worthy. :king:

New Zealand has now gone 100 days with no new local COVID-19 cases — and it hasn't been on lockdown since June

New Zealand has made it 100 days without a single new local case of COVID-19, the country's Ministry of Health announced Sunday.

The public health milestone comes as coronavirus cases are spiking in other countries, including nearby Australia. The total number of cases in the US surpassed 5 million Sunday — by contrast, New Zealand has only reported 1,219 cases of the virus, most in April and May, and 23 of those cases remain active.

"It has been 100 days since the last case of Covid-19 was acquired locally from an unknown source," the health ministry said in a statement Sunday. "No additional cases are reported as having recovered, so there are still 23 active cases of Covid-19 in managed isolation facilities."

New Zealand took an early, aggressive approach to stop the spread of the virus. The country of 5 million people entered a hard lockdown in April that closed schools and nearly all businesses, including food delivery. By June, most restrictions were lifted in the country, but New Zealand's borders remain closed to foreigners and incoming New Zealanders are required self-quarantine for two weeks after arriving.

Now, life has returned to normal for most New Zealanders, with bars, restaurants, and sporting events open for business — but public health officials said they're staying vigilant for the possibility of another outbreak.

"Achieving 100 days without community transmission is a significant milestone," Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield said in a statement on Sunday. "However, as we all know, we can't afford to be complacent."

Well the plane I was on was one of those smaller models (2 seats per row) andI swear you feel turbulence more on the lighter planes- JMHO.

That trip set off all sorts of novel flight anxiety issues for me for months. :nono:

As hard as it is to get Clorox wipes, why did I come into the office today and somebody left the cover open on the cannister in the kitchen and an entire roll was almost completely dry? It wasn't like the person pushed the cap down and didn't snap it shut, no no no no nooooo, they left it wide open with a wipe sticking out.

Luckily, I got a few cannisters that are running low that have liquid in them but MAYNNNNNNNNNNNN!
What a waste of Clorox wipes. We have 1 container of those and 2 containers of Lysol wipes at the copiers/scanners in my dept at work.

I noticed that the Clorox wipes stay soaking wet while both containers of the Lysol wipes are drying out, even though the lids stay closed.

His obituary is similar to 2 other obituaries that are calling out careless politicians - another 1 in TX and 1 in AZ - that are mentioned in this clip.

Australia is not playing around.

(CNN)The premier of Victoria plunged the region into a "state of disaster" on Sunday, announcing even stricter lockdown measures, introducing a nightly curfew and banning virtually all trips outdoors after Australia's second largest state recorded 671 new infections in a single day.

Daniel Andrews told Victorians at a news conference that "we have to do more, and we have to do more right now," as the state battles to contain a devastating coronavirus outbreak that had already stripped residents of their freedoms, livelihoods and social interactions and made it an outlier from the rest of the country.

"Where you slept last night is where you'll need to stay for the next six weeks," Andrews said, announcing a curfew between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. beginning Sunday evening and moving Metropolitan Melbourne into stage four lockdown measures. In that part of the state, only one person per household will be allowed to leave their homes once a day -- outside of curfew hours -- to pick up essential goods, and they must stay within a 5 kilometer radius of their home. Melburnians had already been under strict measures for most of July after the area was identified as the epicenter of Australia's second wave.

The draconian new rules were spurred by more bleak Covid-19 figures. Seven new deaths were announced on Saturday, bringing the state's total to 123, and there have been 11,557 confirmed infections.

Oh wow, they really aren't playing: "and they must stay within a 5 kilometer radius of their home".

Either A Blessing Or A Lesson.
I've been working with a mask on 8-12 hours since the middle of March. In the beginning, I wouldn't take the thing off except to eat lunch until I got home even in the car. The good part is that since I can't eat snacks through a mask, I lost 30 pounds between March and June. The bad part is I've always had sinus and dehydration problems and the mask makes my nose and throat dry so when I get home I pretty much drink water until I go to bed.
I'm down 46 pounds since March. Well hello Size 8. Nice to finally meet you.
