A positive covid test at the ZFW center today has led to 60+ diversions in the last hour and no flights over ZFW (Dallas) airspace since no ATC is in the office while it's being cleaned. Will likely be a >$1 million loss for airlines operating in/at DFW/ZFW in just 2 hours today.

Looks like we're still doing sanitation theater for a virus that doesn't spread that way.

I know a few folks in medical field a couple nurses and a surgeon they are not being encouraged to take the covid test because of all the false positive results. Basically the hospital have told them they think the test are about 50/50 so basically if you got tested a few times you would have to take 2 weeks leave and if they tested everyone everyday they would close down.

This will hopefully be a case study one day on what happens when everyone feels like they have to do SOMETHING just for the sake of action regardless of the science or facts of the situation.

Good. About damn time someone did. Now pardon me while I load up the Hoveround Scooter so I can scoot my 400lb diabetic arse up to McDonald's for a supersize double quarter pounder with a diet coke.

This is going to be used as a baseline reaction to everything for the next 50 years.

Not to mention, under FFCRA, you are only protected for 80 hours. Anything after that is coming out of your PTO or sick leave...or unpaid leave.
This was an initial concern at my company, but we quickly realized people would rather get paid than sit at home, which was actually a refreshing thing to find out.

sucks for all those Notre Dame & Bama fans headed to the Rose Bowl.

I was onboard a plane at DFW ready for departure at 3. We sat at the gate until 330, when they notified us of the COVID positive ATC personnel. We were deplaned and waiting to see when we can board again. shite is ridiculous.
Apparently it is only American Airlines ATC tower.
