Kalitta flies US evacuees back from China

It’s usually the first 3,000 feet. The large white markings are painted every 500 feet with the ones at 1,000 feet from the threshold painted solid and the others are usually stripes that become smaller every 500 feet.


Also, this runway has a displaced threshold of 1,000 feet. Maybe that’s why it appeared they missed it.

All that said, I saw in the video they touched down about 1,000 feet beyond the 1,000 foot markers, still clearly within the first 3,000 feet.
 
Casual disregard for the danger of pandemics seems just hugging-yourself nuts to me. We are wildly overpopulated and overly mobile for the traditional defenses to be effective. This may not be The One, but The One is on the way. And sure, if you want to paint a tin-foil hat on me, have at it, but while tin-foil hats may or may not protect against lizard person brain-signals, they *definitely* don't protect against viruses. My fear is that this is another shot across the bow which will be roundly ignored. *closes hatch on bunker*.

you got any room in there?
 
I’m not bemoaning the doctors and researchers from doing their job and issuing their warnings. That’s all well and good. But I will mock any regular Joe who freaks out about this when he is vastly more likely to die in a car crash on his way to the office than he is to even contract coronavirus, let alone die from it.

To be fair, I've felt like I was going to die from Corona Flu, and the Heineken Flu, and the Dos Equis flu, there's also some sort of stolichnaya-syndrome I was exposed to in HS. Those are the same thing, right?
