In better news, the GoFundMe for Scotty and his family is now about $500 short of the $10,000 goal after only two days! Proof positive that you get what you give...

He's home now, and just messaged us on FB... he wants to do our 8/1 gig as scheduled.

Checking the air traffic of Catania-Fontanarossa Airport (Sicily) live........looks like an Air Mauritius flight that departed Charles De Gaulle has flew over Sicily a few minutes ago.
Seriously, who wants to go to Mauritius with this pandemic around?

You always have to take what you hear second or third hand with a grain of salt. However, I have a friend/former coworker from Mauritius and he posted several times on Facebook that his home country beat COVID-19.

His country does look like paradise to be fair. Also to be fair, I don't think anybody has beat this virus until we have a proper vaccine.

Yeah, i'm definitely not trusting anyone of our actual government, so far, but only true scientists with actual facts in their hands.

Until there's a real working vaccine out there, i'm definitely very cautious about anything I hear/see.

To be fair, I wouldn't want to travel wearing a mask for the whole duration of a flight. Hence why I think it was a bit premature to open airports.
Singapore made that mistake 2 weeks or so ago, letting flights from Singapore coming to Hong Kong, after 3 months of total no flight. And now they have closed Changi. Australia followed.
It's only European countries who have opened some airports, hoping that people would travel and tourists would arrive.
I saw some footage of the Milan Malpensa airport on TV, last evening, and it was definitely dead empty. Just 20 or so passengers waiting at the gates for a flight to Rome.......
Yeah....definitely sounds like people want to go on a vacation anytime soon.

Anything has been either cancelled or postponed to the next year. Most businesses have their employee working from home. I highly doubt someone has a desperate need to travel for business.

I might be wrong. But the latest statistics I saw report a very high decline of tourists, for this year.

It has changed mostly everything about our life and even more.
Don't know much about how it affected dating, as I've been single for 12 years, now.
But it definitely changed many things in our healthcare system. I can't no longer find some blood pressure pills my father used to take in all the pharmacies I went.
It wasn't a problem before this pandemic, and not even during the lockdown. So I suppose they decided to cut off on the costs, so they can manufacture and sell some new type of Viagra or some other shit.
Meantime I have problems reaching a doctor that would prescribe him something that doesn't cause him some side effects to no available.
Kinda pissed off, a bit.

What it did not absolutely changed, though, is the infiltration of the Mafia in COVID-19 projects funds destined for research of the virus, here in Italy, unscrupulous bastards manufacturing in some dirty stinky underground labs new types of coke, opioids, CBD-derived junk using common OTC flu medicines and pain-killers, as well shit like Xanax or Valium, and selling them to bored 15yo kids that play some football on an abandoned street, only to die, later on, in their sleep. Few idiots still discriminating gay people, people throwing suprise parties in public parks, without wearing any mask or anything, some hookers still receiving clients in their apartments, and that's it.
The nocturnal life keeps going on, regardless of the emergency.

Fortunately we don't have any police brutality or shootings, so far. We had just a few peaceful protests of unemployed people asking their rights and that's about it. But we definitely have a shitload of organized crime junk, right now, other than the other crap I mentioned.

If I buy online, I would expect the delivery to occur on the date stated by the seller, or before it, regardless of when shipping takes place.

I have purchased some items at a ridiculously low price, but with a 6 weeks or more delivery time: I knew what I was getting into, and ultimately it was worth it.
