Was my first thought. The right strain under those conditions could make Covid look like a head cold. I hope it isn't.

left Bangkok at 11:50 p.m. Thursday and landed back in Thailand at 8:28 a.m. Friday.

There, the passengers said they had to wait two hours without any guidance from Lufthansa before they were finally booked on another flight to Germany, with a stopover in Hong Kong.


They couldn't have landed somewhere else, instead of turning around 4 hours into the flight?

If I’m an ATC at the nearest airport and I hear that report over the radio, I’m not letting that plane land anywhere near me

Yeah, the "good" thing with Ebola is that it has a short incubation and kills its host quickly. Otherwise....

I’ve taken care of only a handful of patients with esophageal varicies in my years in the ER.

Bloodiest mess I’ve ever seen. EVER. and I think only one of them survived and they all went directly to the OR stat.

I cannot even imagine what went through a lay person’s mind seeing it

I had a tenant die from this absolutely disgusting. His girlfriend offered to clean it all up if I gave her his security deposit, what a deal that was.

Wow.. i have a cousin who’s tenant blew his brains out in his rental unit.. cant remember the exact details, but i think he had to hire some sort of crew to come out in hazmat suits for the cleanup, which wasnt cheap at all .

I had a great uncle die from likely ruptured EV. I was young then and my Pops owned the apartment he was living in at the time. I, of course saw none of it, but was told later that blood was everywhere. My great uncle was a bad alcoholic who was laid up with a broken leg and unable to work. Pops visited him the night before and all my uncle wanted was liquor, but Pops declined. The next day friends of his couldn't get him to the door. Pops was at work and couldn't leave, but went over after he got off that evening and opened the door. He said it was like a murder scene.

I've told the rest of that story here before. Because of where the apartment was located and some disputes going on with jurisdictions, Pops had a hell of a time getting someone to come collect the body. A few hours and several calls later he told someone on the phone that he was just going to tie a rope to my uncle's feet and drag him down the stairs (upstairs apartment). Police were on scene within ten minutes and had my Pops in cuffs. The body was collected and Pops didn't go to jail.

If I were to write the life story just of what I know about my great uncle it would have been a fitting end.

He once left north Georgia in the middle of the night to go get a gallon of milk. That trip took him about fourteen years. We never knew he had a whole other wife and family until one day, several years after his death, a strange woman knocked on my grandmother's door. She called my grandmother by name and told her she was her niece and my great uncle was her father. Grandma said, "I don't know you." and shut the door in her face.

That's just one reason I stay the hell away from 23 and Me.

Those baws were wild. That uncle was a master plumber and electrician. He said his best stretch in jail (almost always for drinking and such) was when they got him to plumb the judge's house. He was never a violent person, and was generally pleasant to be around, so they let him stay at a house on the property, and a sheriff/guard would check on him a couple times a day.

True story. He was the youngest in the family, but the wildest by a mile.

By comparison: my grandmother went to church every time the doors were open and always helped feed the neighborhood kids who didn't have much.

Sounds like a bad case of the Murray Head.

Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the Devil walking next to me”
