Las Vegas Airport Tower Controller confirmed with COVID-19
Just like Midway airport, KLAS is currently uncontrolled with airplanes using advisory frequency for takeoffs and landings. (twitter.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
it is said that now this virus not just affecting "the elderly",(basically to be considered people over 60)but even those in their 20's and 30's..one man mentioned today is 50,and one person in my area is 40..a virus really doesn't discriminate..we still need people in those control towers despite technology..i wish the person well and I do hope others he might have been around are ok..
I’m pretty sure that tower person was not over 60.....
Also, a new born overseas succumbed. So, it’s a false notion that ONLY elderly get it. In fact, as the days go on, more and more under 60s are getting it. This type of virus does not discriminate according to age. It goes for the path of least resistance and type of lifestyle/work as well as environment.

You are entirely correct though your assumption is based on ignorance rather than fact.
Controllers have a mandatory retirement age of 56. In fact, they may not begin FAA academy training beyond their 31st birthday.
As I clearly stated elsewhere, it also affects those who have an immune deficiency which is usually caused by another ailment. Most such ailments are respiratory and coronary.

Quite possibly the only truthful thing you have posted in this squawk.
And no, that was not sarcasm.
And no, that was not sarcasm.
There was nothing inaccurate about any of my other posts, either.
And, I don't see you putting forth factual data.

Seeing that my wife now has this, and has previously succumbed to TWO submassive pulmonary embolisms, I don't need to put forth any factual data, as I can easily go to the hospital tonight and see everything with my own two eyes that puts your useless drivel to shame. But in for a sheep.
You claim that the flu has caused more deaths than COVID-19. If you take Italy into account, and adjust for the amount of land to make it equal to the US, you will see that COVID proportionately has killed MORE than the flu has this year.
Want to talk hoax? From Trump in January: We're completely on top of it, nothing to worry about, go on.
From Trump in February: "This will be gone in 3 weeks! The stock market is looking good now, go invest!" "This is nothing but a hoax by the Democrats!"
From Trump the week of March 1st: "This will be gone by April!"
Then everything hits. Yet you want to call this "hate on Trump". These are his own words put out of his mouth, by HIM. Then you want to deflect to "but..but.. What about China!?" Trump was warned about this well before the end of January, and did absolutely NOTHING. Then he wants to say that "I've been right a lot, I knew about this before!"? Pure true negligence on his part if he "knew about it before", and it cost people their lives. Negligence in part of someone's death.. isn't that manslaughter?

Oh, and to make it worse: The biggest advantage we would have had on this whole thing was the task force for Ebola, which Obama left Trump... Trump dismantled it.
See, there are 3 sides to every story: your side, my side, and the TRUTH. The TRUTH leaves your side with a huge smattering of cognitive dissonance that can not be reconciled. So you may want to go over your facts once again.

Educate yourself.
Those most affected in lower ages are already suffering from ailments causing an immune deficiency.
As for what Trump said, I have no clue. And, you produced no direct transcript or video showing he actually said that. I'd place a greater bet on a comment regarding April being taken out of context.
As for the "hoax" comment, he was referring to how the media and leftist politicians were hyping it up in such a fashion to hurt him. I repeatedly see that by Texas' own Lloyd "DogFace" Doggett. These pieces of crap hate Trump more than they love their nation and they're doing everything they can to destroy him and hurt his chances for reelection.
I've read plenty and I read a wider variety than the liberal Guardian. I certainly do not follow Politifact which is owned by the very left-leaning Tampa Bay Times. Actually, it's owned by the same holding company in the supposed effort to distance themselves from their own political bias put forth as fact. They've had no shortage of twisting the facts or intentionally omitting data in order to fit their narrative. Try again. Pew Research leans left but is far more honest.
Trump did not dismantle anything. He does not micromanage agencies. Find some more accurate sources. There were people who left a particular area of the CDC. They were not replaced. When did Trump become responsible for individual hires at lower levels of agencies?
Even the left-leaning Politifact does not accept the "Trump fired" nonsense.

I don't have a side other than this crap has caused me harm in my business and my personal liberty. I live at home. I work at home. One of my few benefits to enjoy the fruits of my labor is my wife and I enjoying dinner out to get away from it all. Or, weekend trips somewhere for enjoyment. That's being blocked by the liberal BS put forth. Yes, some have carryout. But, much of the enjoyment of buying a $30 steak is having someone else serve you and paying them for their efforts.
I laid out a good many facts. Read my other, rather lengthy post on the matter. I address how it has been blown out of proportion compared to past viruses and most certainly the difference in response between what party's administration is in office. If you're not seeing the drastic difference now and in 2009, you're choosing to be blind or you were asleep a decade ago.
I'm sorry for your wife's illness. I truly hope she recovers and continues a happy life for many years to come.

It affects those with greater chance of immune deficiencies. That is a large portion of the older population. It has far less effect on children.
It's the opposite effect of H1N1 and there is logic behind that.
