Only university I know of with it's own co-op airport. Also, it's one of the most walkable cities and zillions of bicycles. :) (Although I got the gate code from one of the security guards and parked my sports car next to the classroom when I was running late for a final. Hehe.) Also, I got there a year or two before Real World ruined the lack of an open container law. I would frequently BYOB some Sierra Nevada on the way to a bar as I lived around the corner from G St. where the bars are at. Oh yeah and the coed dorms where our door was always unlocked. Good times.

I've tried 13 antidepressants. And have anxiety and ADD-I. My psych will let me have almost anything within reason, but I'm limited on meds because of several other meds for health issues. Be leery of meds unless you absolutely need them because side-effects can cause permanent damage like extrapyramidal and Parkinsonian symptoms, including spasms, twitches, randomly jerking muscles and eye random movement problems.

"...can't hurt you." - Big Mother

The CDC, FDA, state, county and city officials are lying to the public because they're more worried about preventing panic at all costs rather than being honest. For example, King Andrew Cuomo blatantly lied about the relative deadliness compared to influenza. He said it was twice when it is actual 30x+. Also, there's Trump calling it a "hoax".

In addition, there is under-reporting going on because of:

  1. The reticence to test (extremely narrow CDC criteria for PUI), doctors aren't able to test patients they suspect of having COVID-19 but don't meed the CDC's narrow criteria.
  2. People who get COVID-19 but have a mild-enough illness to not need the hospital.
  3. The lack of testing remains of people who died recently.
  4. Misdiagnosis that never attempts COVID-19 testing.

which lead to complacency and people not protecting themselves sensibly. Furthermore, the incubation period leads to ever greater numbers of seemingly healthy people infecting others and greater spread due to manufactured consent, through lies, of people to not protect themselves from this real threat. The end result is yet another case of lazy, dishonest, and negligent leadership that refuses to take action and instead will let it spread.

This is either an "all men must have vasectomy"-type rule or some military-industrial complex lobbyists or drone schools shoveled a bunch of cash into the pockets of these FAA pinheads. Maybe if they'd spend more time protecting us from Part 141 mishaps by actually heeding the advice and recommendations of the NTSB, there wouldn't have been a second 737 MAX incident.
