Here's another one. I think it's awesome:

The number of deaths is doubling in less than 3.5 days, it seems like this will rather accelerate: We are currently at 918 deaths, we'll be at almost 15,000 in two weeks if the numbers continue to double every 3.5 days. The number of cases doubles roughly every 2.5 days, we're currently at...

Same here in MI. One of the largest hospitals is already running out of capacity, even though we are still at the very beginning of the pandemic. Supplies for basic things like masks and face shields are supposedly also already about to run dry. I wouldn't bet that we will do much better than...

Interesting video from a guy in China. He discusses how foreigners are being treated and how the government handles the situation. Holy smokes! :eek: He also bets that there will be a second outbreak. I think he has a point:

I wonder if this will have any long term effects on airlines or if they will quickly bounce back once all of this is over? I guess that people will be hungry to go places after being forced to stay at home for weeks or months.

I also like the concept of the Virb, but the Ultra 30 has already been on the marked for over 3 years, what shows in the video quality. It is not even close to the Hero 8. Hero 7 and 8 also allow the overlay of GPS data, however not a nice as Garmin. There are however 3rd party tools which fix...

GoPro has a list with run times on their website: https://gopro.com/help/articles/block/gopro-camera-battery-life Note however, that these times are with wireless, GPS and voice recognition off. With wireless and GPS on they drop significantly. Wireless keeps obviously draining the battery...

We should maybe also try to put this into perspective: - 9/11: 2,977 victims - Vietnam war: 58,220 American military casualties - WW II: 407,300 American military casualties - Dallas, TX population: ~ 1.2 mio And now some people are seriously suggesting that we should just shrug our shoulders...

Last year 'only' 36,560 people have died in car accidents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in_U.S._by_year#Motor_vehicle_deaths_in_U.S._by_year Still, measures are taken to further lower the fatality rates: Speed limits, driver's education, higher safety standards for...

I have two GoPro 3+ Black and a 7 Black. While the 3+ are rock solid, have a simultaneous photo + video feature and also allow for the easy installation of an extended battery, the image quality looks pretty dated compared to the 7 black. This being said, the 7 Black had some severe software...

The flu is a regular occurence and estimations of infected persons are pretty solid. Society AND the economy would collapse if the predicted +50% of the American population would all get infected within a few weeks and +10% of them would need to be hospitalized. Now, this would be truly...

I think this article gives a pretty good overview over the different virus types: https://www.healthline.com/health-news/how-deadly-is-the-coronavirus-compared-to-past-outbreaks The problem is, that while COVID-19 is nowhere near as deadly as SARS, it is much more contagious. People also don't...

Yeah, but consider that once they started taking action, they were extremely aggressive with their measures. I don't see that Americans would accept not being allowed to leave their houses or being forcefully(!!) dragged into hospitals. One of many videos: I'm surprised that the American media...

I guess I'm supposed to say 'congratulations', but somehow this makes me sad: I guess this means no more meeting you at 6Y9 anymore. :( Anyway, the buyer will get a beautiful plane in great condition! :) Oliver

CDC's warnings appear pretty factual to me. I wouldn't consider their warnings hysterical, considering that the virus could potentially spread like the flu what means that 35 mio out of 300 million Americans could become infected, resulting in around 700,000 deaths if the death rate stays at...

@Tantalum Keep in mind that the number of infected people in Wuhan is only relatively low because the Chinese pretty much shut down the entire city almost immediately. People don't even leave their houses anymore and if the government finds someone with even mild symptoms, the person will be...

As some already mentioned, the death rate of COVID-19 is at least 100 time higher than that of a flu. As of now, it appears that the average death rate is somewhere around 2%, it is however significantly higher for older people: - 60 - 69 3.6% - 70 - 79 8% - 80 - 89 14.8%...

I met Rich Wellner @rwellner98 a couple years ago on North Fox Island in Michigan: Even though I don't think that he is truly retired, he spoke highly of the small community in Mexico, in which he is living in. Flying back and forth between Mexico and the USA in his Maule doesn't seem to be an...

IMHO, rental property only makes sense if a loan can be used as leverage, so that the tenants pretty much pay off the mortgage. If the property is bought cash, the return simply doesn’t justify the hassle, even if you assume an annual appreciation of the property by 2 or 3%. People also tend to...

LOL. We actually had a great time, it even turned out that Eman was a surprisingly safe and competent pilot!
