We have Family in Key West and they are trying to get the young people out but
won't go! They think its party time! Most of the Keys are elderly and fear of
people bringing the virus in. It's a tough time right now, and seems people do
not take it seriously. Just like your Buddy in Milan is experiencing.Sent from

Subject: [tccrockets] Re: [TRA Prefects Forum] RE: Coronavirus Precautions Yep,
it has been and continues to be a problem ...I just got off the phone with my
buddy in Milan, he said that in Rome nobody was taking it seriously (much like
the spring-breakers you saw on TV last night), so that is why they enacted
martial law. He's pretty distraught on this topic because His uncle died as a
result of his daughter being sick and he caught it, so I guess this is what we
may see next (we haven't peaked yet).Now here is some good news, which he said
we will hear about today or tonight - supposedly in France they used a
combination of some anti-malarial drug and Azithromycin which was 100%
effective. I don't know if it is true or false but that is what he told me I
would hear about soon!Other good news is that both China and the US are now in
Italy setting up emergency shelters and are working together to help treat
patients and learn more from ground zero. I suspect we will all here some more
news on this later ....On Thu, Mar 19, 2020 at 11:10 AM Ralovley

Florida are packed with young adults. It seems they they are under the false
pretense they are at a much lower risk and don't think they are at risk. A lot
of people will never get symptoms but can still be a carrier! Yes I do wash my
hands much more and dont go anywhere I dont need to go to. I don't know what a
true fix is, but I've heard the National Guard is calling all reserves to be
prepared to be deployed for at least a month!? It could be just a rumor! Maybe
Martial Law is coming! Time will tell. I do hope this goes away soon, its
really effecting my small business, and I'm not the only one thats being put on
hold. Support your local restaurants and small Mom and Pop stores. The big

want to consider is that a lot of young folks will end up in the ICU. Older
people die at a higher rate, but it doesn't mean that young people are immune
or will always just get mild symptoms. Some will still end up being
hospitalized, intubated, and on a ventilator. They will just have a better
chance of surviving the ordeal than their parents or grandparents. Stay home,
old folks, young folks, and kid folks.On Mar 18, 2020, at 4:50 PM, Ralovley

an observation is that we have been asked to shelter in place and only go out
if necessary. It's not a total Martial Law situation for now, and I feel people
are just going to go about their lives as usual!? I just came from Lowes to get
a couple things so I can just stay home and do things I need to get done here.
Lowes isnt goint to close, and alot of other stores will be open.Why would
people feel they need to stay home? The girls who works for me said she doesn't
want to sit at home and wants to go to the office and work! She is a millennial

RE: Coronavirus Precautions Haha - I bet! My strategy on bug control has been
to buy the big tarps at Horror Freight (as Marino called it) and make sure you
put that down like 10 minutes before you paint. Over here if you start between
10am to high noon, you won't have to do the old tweezer trick to pull them off.
Of course, not having all this shitty pollen in the air helps as well :-)On

Seriously though, right now people need some time to relax (besides Titos), now
here is a good one from an old timer (my Dad) ... he told me about the USAF
missile command center stationed in theKodiak islands (KLC) (300 miles from
Russia) and how during the 50's and 60's the Radar operators watching screens
all days would just listen to smooth jazz to stay calm. You even hear about now
in the NYC Zoos for the big cats and monkeys to calm down ...So, Herb Alpert,
Ben Tankard, Peter White, Chriss Botti, Kenny G.. great things to play or
stream instead of watching all the Drama on the news right now.On Wed, Mar 18,

Hey folks,
I'd like to leave everyone with one final thought for the day, from a
colleague I receive this morning:
During the Great Plague of London in 1665-1666, the University of
Cambridge closed for a few months. A young undergraduate named Isaac Newton
engaged in social distancing and retired to the family home a hundred
kilometers to the north. There he continued working, and subsequently
discovered the calculus,the theory of gravitation, and the spectral nature of
light among many other things.
So stay focused on your work, build rockets, and use this time to do
some good for the world.
best regards
-James

Vito posted something today on FB that really brings it home:
Our parents or grandparents were asked to go to World War, many of them
never returned.
We're being asked to stay home, avoid social gatherings, and watch
Netflix.
Really brings it home doesn't it?
Anyhow, people need to take this seriously so that we can curb the
growth of this thing and squash the peaks.
So build your favorite rocket and focus on your family...
After that, it's time to fly rockets!

I figured this would be coming, at least for the next launch we’re in
the clear since it’s the cleaning party. Hopefully this is done ✅ with by May.
So we can have Dairy Aire. If not we will just have to stay put, and wait it
out.
