Dr. Bruce Aylard has almost 30 years experience in fighting polio, Ebola and other diseases, and now, he’s turned his attention to stopping the spread of COVID-19.

Aylward, the senior adviser to the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), is one of the worlds top experts in charge of fighting the coronavirus pandemic.

The doctor, who lead a joint WHO mission to China in February to study the effectiveness of the response there to the virus, has seen firsthand the measures Beijing took to fight the virus. Now he’s sharing what he learned with governments and communicating with the WHO response teams working to fight COVID-19 in virus epicenters around the globe.

This what he had to say about Millennials

"This is one of the most serious diseases you will face in your lifetime, and recognize that and respect it. It is dangerous to you as an individual. It is dangerous to your parents, to your grandparents and the elderly in particular and it is dangerous to your society in general. You are not an island in this, you are part of a broader community, you are part of transmission chains. If you get infected you are making this much more complicated and you are putting people in danger, not just yourself.
Never, never underestimate a new disease, there’s just too much unknown. What we do know is it will kill young people, it will make young people sick in large numbers. You’ve gotta respect this."

Are you listening, all you deniers on this thread?

Well you better, because with your attitudes, your going to kill people.

I have to carry this document in my truck right now for the next few months, I think I'll be hauling around a lot of produce/food for a little while

Kinda makes me wonder if domestic travel is getting ready to be banned unless it's strictly for work transporting essential freight IMG_20200323_162128617.jpg

I do like the sweet hum of a running reefer trailer

This your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends.
You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to. You take the red pill,
you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Remember, all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

Dr Fauci talks about this here. Wouldn't he have been a great mentor if you worked for him?

Yep, he's a good one.

This bit:

Q: Most everyone thinks that you’re doing a remarkable job, but you’re standing there as the representative of truth and facts, and things are being said that aren’t true and aren’t factual.

A: The way it happened is that after he made that statement [suggesting China could have revealed the discovery of a new coronavirus 3 to 4 months earlier], I told the appropriate people, it doesn’t comport, because 2 or 3 months earlier would have been September. The next time they sit down with him and talk about what he’s going to say, they will say, “By the way, Mr. President, be careful about this and don’t say that.” But I can’t jump in front of the microphone and push him down. OK, he said it. Let’s try and get it corrected for the next time.

It's what I meant when I said this:

I've been in similar, though less consequential moments. He's the boss and you can't stop him sometimes. My stepping up to correct what was said wouldn't have helped and only resulted in getting me fired at a time when my services were needed. What you do is make a note of what was said and later get out a correction to avoid confusion. Large corporate offices and especially the government have back channels for information that get more and more important when the person in charge loses their mind. Trump is a time sink for people who could be doing important work instead of damage control. But he's a nuisance and not a source of information. So, rather than create a confusing and embarrassing moment, let him drone on and do what can be done later. Fauci has at times immediately and directly contradicted Trump when given the mic. We are seeing him get that opportunity less.

If one is working on important tasks during a crisis, the tasks are job one. A knowledge worker's ability to get that job done includes their integrity and reputation for honesty. Fauci walks the line but doesn't cross over it. It's simply not worth it to stop Trump from being a fool if by doing so we lose the services of Fauci. There have been times when Fauci put his job at risk to maintain integrity. We all see it. Trump knows he can't fire him. Not yet.

Agree that the Surgeon General stepped over the line when he touted Trump's false and misleading allusions that coronavirus is "just another flu". He lost influence and credibility with his staff but also with people in the media when he allowed his office to become a propaganda tool. His credibility is his main asset and it's gone. That guy has to go.

Can I copy this to post to some of my mates and work colleagues who still are not serious about this virus. Mainly for the young guys who are working with me.

I take ZERO chances , being diabetic , I shopped a couple days ago .... simple get in and get the fuck out kind of run. Many , I mean MANY were not masked yet alone gloved. I managed to have at least a couple boxes of nitrile gloves and a few 3M 8210 masks ( from work ) to wear . Literally people watching ..... customers pushing baby carriages, carting all of their kids with them , openly sneezing. My wife had to go pick up a 3 month run of meds so I went with her to ensure at no point remove mask ( she is not familiar using PPE ) .

I told her not to worry about how we looked .... I told her to think of it in the same way of handling firearms .... Consider ALL public being considered ( loaded ) and not safe. Just watching the interaction and frivolous behavior was scary ... store associates not protected , handling cash , licking fingers to open bags to fill , greeters ( elderly ) , even the poor sap wrangling cart “ trains “ openly grabbing handles without care.

I may be overthinking it but I cannot risk it . Being a vet also , I am trying to stay away from the VA hospital as much as possible. And have called to insist on continued refills ( even those that need case worker auth ) so I do not have to go in person.

I don't have masks (all sold out) or latex gloves (all sold out), but have the capability to stay indoors for 3 weeks.
You doing the right thing, doing the best you can in this fucked up situation.
Just stay away from the fools
Stay safe my friend :)

You work in a market, right?
I commend you for your service in this time of crisis, seriously.
I felt like leaving a tip for the checkout clerk putting her life on the line in away.
Do you wear protective gear?
None of the empolyees were wearing any where I was.
That should be mandatory in my opinion, because I don't like the idea of someone coughing on my produce, or the worker being infected by someone else.
They should be issued facemasks & gloves by mandate.

Yeah a large supermarket.
Thanks man, it is much appreciated. Not much thanks going about lately.
I do not, best I have is anti bacterial gel.
I actually talked to the store manager today and he said we are to start enacting social distancing on the shop floor but no sign of masks. Some colleagues have gloves but think that's their own supply.
I agree that we should have them and have been saying it from the beginning of last week.

A mask isn't as important as CONSTANTLY washing your hands and NEVER touching your face.

In a worse case scenario, wear a full faced motorcycle helmet.

If i have to buy myself something a functioning bane mask would be epic lol
