I agree with all of that. Your previous post would equate to you saying “wings look clean to me” when you know they’re not. Different deal. It why your comment surprised meYou’ve never asked “how do the wings look” after they return from the walk-around when you know there’s frost all over them?
“Oh, we’re good” means he either didn’t check or doesn’t care about us ending up on instagram or invited to the big brown desk.
But yes, I’ll ask questions I already know the answer to sometimes because I want to engage you, know what you’re thoughts on on that big assed storm you’re flying toward, what your thoughts are with an EFC time that’s well past our holding fuel and if that answer doesn’t jibe with what’s in my head, maybe I’m the screwed up one so I can get some feedback or perspective. I’m not Xerxes.
I have. Told them I have plans for dinner with a friend but actually just slam clicked because I couldn't stand the thought of going to dinner after having been together for like 10 hours already.

Baiting a crew member = $h!tty crew member.
I think you mis understand Derglas. I have pilots who think I'm a hard right wing pilot or hard left wing or "boy he doesn't pay much attention to politics" depending how they introduce themselves. Like as an FO with 9K hours and captain on multiple types I've learned "yeah I think your way is the stupidest way to do this but it's not worth me offering my opinion because I know it'll work (because I did it that way once)".Agreed. Looking for controversy immediately starting a trip doesn’t bode well for CRM.

Not entirely sure where you're going with this but just a little fyi....it was over a week of just feeling crummy or just "off" before the fevers started. And then it was a few days of low grade fevers and just feeling a little warm before the shortness of breath. And then it took another day before the coughing started. And the coughing was not the sick kinda cough. It was "I cant breath" type dry cough. That was my experience and symptoms at least. I guess what I'm getting at is that it starts very subtle. Not exactly obvious. That is probably why it can spread so easily.So I think this has been bugging me since the beginning of this post... and it’s about the original topic.
Is there someone out there who’s the average person who wouldn’t make at least an attempt to let folks they know or work with know they’re hacking at home with da Covid, with their 99.7% survival rate, as long as they weren’t in the 0.3% and unable to make the call ‘cause it hit them in two days or something?
I guess a truly single type who lives alone or self transports to the Covid ward might get out of doing it, and maybe a tiny number of weirdos who’d see telling anybody as some sort of medical privacy issue, but at least in this biz, you’d likely at least have to notify employers, and word gets around.
Not sure I understand the initial post as something more formally needed like I don’t have both friends in and out of my work life and my company on speed dial in my phone already. A special contact list or something just for getting sick?
Maybe I’m misreading it. It seems kinda obvious if I was sitting here hacking that I’d make a call or three and text when I felt well enough or tell wifey-sauce to do the important ones. Like... no real special contact list required...?
We’ve known about the six infected folk we know but had no contact with from within hours of their diagnosis or in the one case, brief hospitalization to kick her back home with an O2 tank as a safety measure against her known co-morbidity.
Would hear about direct contact or co-workers even faster I bet.
Anyway. Just stuck on that. Definitely don’t need any pre-planned contact tracing or plan or whatever — at the speed these reports got to us. Not anywhere with Internet coverage anyway.
Companies surely would need a bit of planning but wouldn’t be my thing to do. I’d contact co-workers myself generally first but the company would have to follow up also.
Not aviation biz but my company has had to do the dance calling two people who might have contacted a third, while following HIPAA rules. Even I am barely inside the need-to-know circle on that because of job role, but they handled it fine and generic info also passed to all employees about it.
Truly is there something I’m missing here where a special list needs to be made by some?
“Cough cough, hey honey text Bill and let him know. He’ll call the other bosses. And I’ll text Joe since we worked together within the possible timeframe. He’ll know who else was there and take care of them or he and Bill can figure it out... Cough...”
Honestly for my line of work two texts would handle it.

That's what scares the hell out of me. Between the regular getting old and my body deciding it hates certain things to friggin' Sahara dust being a thing in the southern U.S., every little thing makes me paranoid that it's the start of something nasty. Hope you're doing alright now. It doesn't sound like a fun ride for anybody.Not entirely sure where you're going with this but just a little fyi....it was over a week of just feeling crummy or just "off" before the fevers started.

I had what I assume was a garden variety respiratory infection in March and I think it was 8+ weeks before i could talk without having to stifle a cough. Probably should have gone to the doc to make sure I didn’t have pneumonia or something.That's what scares the hell out of me.

I'm 100% over it now. Feel completely normal for almost a week now. Scary as hell though. I completely understand how bad it can get if you have any other breathing issues to begin with or "comorbidities". I was a little worried there for a few days.That's what scares the hell out of me.

That actually sounds faintly familiar. We had AOL but I wasnt the chat room type.ASL? That used to mean Age, Sex, Location, back in the AOL days...haha. Anyhow, thanks for sharing. Glad you are completely recovered. Just curious how old you are and where your doctor opened the Covid urgent care. That's a great idea.
It's been such a boring summer I called around looking to buy a jet ski. There is literally no inventory anywhere in the Tampa area. Earliest I could take delivery is Sept and possibly even February. Back to twiddling my thumbs.
I have a friend in every layover city... Just in case.<——- Guilty!
(1) Glad you're feeling better.I did a few rounds of vitamin C IVs, hydroxychloroquine, Z pack and whole bunch of vitamins.
