Gen Z gen why I am too sure what kids are called nowadays but they behave the same way we all did in out teens and twenties. Booze, weed, chemical, festivals, getting laid, it was the sixties, seventies man and we loved it. So it's a little hypocritical to decry their selfishness to day when many of them don't seem to give a shit about getting infected and passing it on. Absolutely no problem for themselves their immune system will see off the virus but it doesn't stop them getting it and passing it on to the more vulnerable. This is a highly contagious motherfucker and while responsibility and partying don't exactly go hand in hand they really should follow the guidelines for this summer break.

Your virgin will probably be a more experienced gal by the time you see her, ha ha, which is not a bad thing if you ask me.
As to alternative trips: I think this friggin' pandemic has gone too far for guys like us to think about taking a trip especially if it involves the airlines and airports. The whole world is in lock down mode except for some college kids enjoying their spring break here in sunny Florida. I don't blame them for not giving a fuck. They are young and immune more or less. I originally had Sao Paulo as my back up plan, but I think Sao Paulo is in a similar situation as BKK & MNL right now.
Hopefully this thing will pass in a couple of months or we are all fucked.

Philippine airlines was more than willing to refund in full my whole itenary although they have not cancelled any of the flights I booked.
Most disappointed are the girls waiting for me mostly for the remuneration money wise. One is a virgin she says. Not sure when I get the chance to pop her cherry if at all. Well, I still keep in contact on messenger with all the girls but will not shed a tear if they found somebody.
Have to go back to the drawing board whenever the next trip happens. Thought of quick trip Sosua to release my monger tensions but with this heightened problems of foreign travel in USA decided against it.

Posts: 3040On Rescheduling a Trip
Yesterday when heard that BKK bars & Go Go's are to be closed thanks to Wuhan I went ahead with my plan to postpone my April trip. It was not what I wanted, but you can't fight it when the odds are stacked up against you the way they are.
So after waiting on the phone for 90 minutes I finally got through to a travel representative from my CC rewards travel bureau. My United flight was purchased on points with a third party otherwise I could have just dealt with it online. The rep was very knowledgeable and professional, but it took him another 30 minutes to work out everything with United while I was puttering around in my backyard and watering my palm trees. But all is well now. I have a new round trip flight of less duration scheduled 6 months from now. I will receive a refund of approximately $150 representing the difference in the price United is assigning to the value of the flight even though I paid in points. So I am up $150 cash. In addition United is refunding the cost of my extended legroom seats that I paid for on the old flight, so I am free to purchase new extended legroom seats on the new flight. All good as far as United and I are concerned.
Next, I went to work on the 10 weeks of hotel reservations that I had made for my spring trip. Most of my hotels either allowed a straight change in dates or cancelation without any penalties. But I had a number of reservations involving hotel CC points and vouchers that required my time to reassign them with the help of a hotel agent. Again no real problems, getting through to the hotels by phone was easier and faster than arranging things with United. In fact a lot of my hotel choices are cheaper now so I will be saving money. Even the 2 or 3 hotels that I had a prepaid non cancelable booking allowed me to cancel and receive a full refund and/or reschedule. The only hotel that I am still having a problem with is the Mulia in Jakarta. I can cancel the reservation straight out without penalty, but the deal I have with them is so good that I really want to reschedule and keep the same price. But it can't be done over the internet so I have sent an email request to the hotel reservation department and I am waiting for their response.
So bottom line, all is well. My rescheduled trip is slightly better than the one I was planning to take in terms of it being overall a little cheaper and my new flight has less stops and a shorter duration. In addition, I decided to reward myself for all the corona BS by making my rescheduled trip 8 dalys longer. 555.

Death rate stats depend on the denominator used and asymptomatic infections are a big part of that. Agree as of now no doubt the common flu is more widespread and kills more people.
There is still a lot not known about then new virus but most experts believe it is more contagious and more lethal than the common flu. Ultimately total deaths depend on containment. Fortunately what we are living through will most probably limit the spread but an out of control contagion until the vaccine comes on line while I still believe is unlikely is nevertheless a scary proposition.
Stay well.

I don't know what the depth rate for flu is in China but 52% of men smoke vs 3% of women, and the death toll in China has been skewed towards men. Wuhan gets pretty cold over winter and most of the houses are not properly insulated or heated, I lived there until mid January.

I began feeling the virus was completely overblown as a threat and I'm still sanguine that its going to be contained and not pose a risk to the average Joe but I am no longer seeing it it as just another flu. The following shows it is not a normal flu and if it spreads to any sizable chunk of the population od a country its f**king serious shit.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and others have said, COVID-19 is deadlier than the flu. It's deadlier for young adults. It's deadlier for older adults. In China, early data shows that it was 10 times deadlier.
The flu kills less than 1% of infected people who are over age 65. By comparison, in China, COVID-19 killed 8% of those infected who were 70-79 and almost 15% of those infected who were age 80 or older. That's a staggering difference.
Even for younger people, the difference was striking. Flu killed. 02% of infected patients age 18-49. It's 10 times that for COVID-19.
In other countries, such as South Korea, the death rate has been far lower.
But if 1 in 12 people age 70-79 who get the virus and 1 in 7 people age 80 or older who get the virus die, and the virus spreads to 20%, 40% or 70% of the population, we're talking massive death tolls, the likes of which we have never seen before in our lives.
"I mean, people always say, well, the flu does this, the flu does that," Fauci said Wednesday during congressional testimony. "The flu has a mortality of 0. 1%. This has a mortality rate of 10 times that. That's the reason I want to emphasize we have to stay ahead of the game in preventing this. "

When I arrived at Phuket the police were scanning each persons temp. Also from what I have heard the convin19 virus is very large and that presently all the masks are ok for use against passage.
Chinese are already healing from the convin19 flu and are going back to work. It's a bad flu but not a plague.
