Sorry haters, Trump is more popular than ever.

Farming101 are you insinuating that Trumps lockdown of China flights had more holes than a sieve dml asks while noting the daily Alitalia flight from Rome to JFK continues.

No question air travel is way down but there are still lots of flights, not only internationally but from Covid-19 hotspots in the US to cities and states with lower infection rates. It does not have to be an international flight to transport the virus anymore. Do check out www.flightradar24.com www.flightradar24.com to see just how many planes are in the air across the US at any given time of the day. And note to how many are still flying in Canada. Note too that just because they are in Canadian airspace does not mean they are landing in Canada; many are simply overflying Canada on polar routes. Click each jet to see its arrival and departure points. Like 101's post, it is eyeopening

I wish I could always be crystal clear but I guess sometimes it does seem like insinuation.

I try to encourage research and study of all kinds of topics.

Regarding the travel proclamation; reading and studying can promote understanding. That's all I was hoping for. It seemed to me that many thought the travel proclamation was a complete and total ban on all travel between the US and China. Clearly that was not true. The New York Times article that has been referenced many many times states that in the two months following the travel ban there had been 40,000 Americans and other authorized individuals that had made the trip to the US. That would be within the wording of the proclamation. Simple math shows that in the first 33 days of the year 390,000 more came to the US, an average of 11,818 per day. Following the travel restrictions the average would be 689 people per day. Roughly a 94% decrease.

Regarding planes still flying, for me it is reassuring. What if your parents on the other side of the country need your help. A plane can get you there. There have been quite a few articles published wondering why so many planes are still flying. Many of them have very few passengers aboard.

Postulating about what the future is likely to hold, based on historical precedent, is not in any way the same as suggesting or inciting violence.

Do you see any other way for this to end? It will never be done at the ballot box, mathematically impossible.

its attack the messenger as always , don't lose any sleep
