Congrats, StarHalo. That fridge is awesome! :thumbsup: I'm always moving tall containers so as not to block the light.

I'm glad to not have to replace the appliance bulb anymore at least..

That's a nice refrigerator. In our Palm Springs, and Beverly Hills homes we have Sub Zero,s. NY, D.C. Not sure. Kind of reminds me of a Sub Zero.

Being as everything is back-lit, will it not be hard to see things at night with the lights in the kitchen off, like in the middle of the night for a snack! OH,wait you have flashlights what was I thinking. Carry on.

Love those cabinet-matched pro installations, will have one of those one day. And this'll be hard to use at night, I imagine it'll be a bit like staring into a lamp with dark-adjusted eyes..
 
Somebody help Brit

Brit Hume, HA! He tripped on my mono pod with a 300 2.8 with a Nikon F4, in front of President Clinton on the Trip of the President to Los Angeles, California in 1993. We were in the travel/ motorcade, protection pool together.

I'm still laughing about it.

There were 1,970 people in the U.S. who died in the last 24 hours from corona virus. That is a huge increase from yesterday. Looks like it's spreading more across the country, not just New York area. The governor of California said we're about a month and a half from the peak. Riverside county has made it illegal to go out in public without wearing a mask (one step closer to martial law). 51 people in South Korea have retested positive for corona virus a short time after being in quarantine. They say it's likely that the virus reactivated instead of them being reinfected once they left quarantine. What are we dealing with here? Is this virus coming back from the dead? Is this our first "zombie" virus outbreak?

Density is the killer:

3 month old baby has it my neighboring town. Had to be medflighted out. The grandmother lives in the facility in my town that had the first outbreak in our county. We will soon have over 50 cases as the residents of that home are all living in cramped quarters. One elevator. Sad times
 
In the $old Dominion BB it's mainly long term care facilities dealing with it. Some of it has gotten out to the public at large, but it's fairly small numbers in general. Once a family knows they have it they quarentine.

We're dealing more with the economic situation and some paranoia as all the "what if" scenarios have not played out and the public is getting restless. In the death clock talley we did move ahead of North Cackalaka in total cases yesterday. Good news for them since they had been a who's who of the virus early on.

Folks talk about asymptomatic folks spreading it. Nothing new. In the old days when folks still worried about influenza we feared "the carrier" more than the sick. Sick were easy to spot. Pale skin, droopy eyes, you know…sick. But the carrier was the family member or friend who never showed symptoms but spread it all over the place. No one knows how many carriers were in a community at that time because it was just the way it was. They did not have technology to discover who the carriers were. Once this thing has run it's course the gubment will likely be investigating how many "carriers" there were (or still are).

Who knows how many have had it, took a swig of Nyquil and recovered quickly. My uncle was deemed a carrier of HIV way back when. They studied his blood samples and determined he had been carrying it for some 15 years before he got sick. Once sick it was over for him. His body eventually forgot how to reproduce red blood cells. Terrible way to go. Body failing, mind working like normal for the better part of two years until one day his formerly 225 pound body that was about 77 pounds just quit.

Back then the community that my uncle associated with all rallied together. Each had a story to tell, which helped scientists understand how HIV had spread early on. My uncle was deemed "case #115" and between his stories and his former collegues they were able to discover the source of HIV back to case #1. A high school friend of his stepped in and pulled the night shift during his last few months. My dad pulled the day shift. I filled in as necessary. We were all scared to death of this thing called AIDS. But through education that they knew in the early 90's we learned how to avoid actually catching it. Luckily for mankind HIV is a fragile virus. So spreading it was actually very difficult under normal conditions. I learned a lot about the common cold virus too. So when this covid thing hit the news I knew what questions to ask and discovered this virus is very durable. There lies the problem. That is why at Christmas my family jokingly stated that population on planet earth may be a lot differerent by July 4,2020. We just didn't see the run on toilet paper coming.


So red, were you guys in a limo so big you could walk around or was it an airplane? Trying to get a visual as I picture your monopod leg barely sticking out in an aisle and old Brit just didn't lift his foot enough and snag the rubber shoe on the end? Did your rig go flying too? I always keep my gear wrist strapped to protect me from me but I suppose it would also help in that scenario.
Did you lose your film? F4 were (are still) great cameras.

Listen out for 222 nm uvc "far lighting" to be discussed soon to sterilze restaraunt tables, subways and other ideas being tried at Columbia. Boeing uses in 737's now. A company in Massechusetts has been wands and light fixtures for 20 years for Disney and doctors offices and other places.

I feel like we will be a "super clean" society as portrayed in the many cheesy scifi movies. Not a good thing IMO. Weak, scared of the common cold or touching someone else's hand in public.
 
Alex berenson has called out the CDC for their covid19 related death counts. I saw somebody had mentioned poor ol Brit’s comment but he may be onto something. Of course his comment was something taken totally out of context but read the CDC guidelines for covid related deaths for yourself. Even if just assuming that’s what killed people it needs to be reported as a covid death.
 
This link will open an animation that shows you cases per country since the start of the year in high-speed; when it gets to about the start of March, watch the US enter the list and hold on tight.
