Thousands IGNORE stay-at-home order and cram along banks of the Hudson to watch Thunderbirds and Blue Angels dart across NYC's skies in honor of health care workers battling COVID-19
Daily Mail/UK, Apr 28, 2020
Crowds of people ignored social distancing rules to watch the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels soar over New York City's skies Tuesday.
Pilots from the US Navy teamed up with the Air Force for the dazzling display over the Big Apple at around noon local time to pay tribute to the healthcare workers fighting COVID-19 on the frontlines.
The Blue Angels had earlier issued a warning, telling people to 'refrain from traveling to see the flyover', tweeting: 'Residents should observe the flyover from the safety of their home-quarantine. Social distancing should be practiced at all times. Stay home and stay safe!'
But pictures show residents in New Jersey and New York ignored the warnings, with huge crowds gathered to watch the flyover in both states.
In an earlier statement the Air Force and Navy had said they partnered with local governments and media outlets to 'help ensure spectators follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention social distancing guidelines'.
The Thunderbirds said the flyover would be 'a show of national solidarity' and 'collaborative salute from the Navy and Air Force to recognize healthcare workers, first responders, and other essential personnel while standing in solidarity with all Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic'.

Donald Trump said earlier this month that the two prominent aerobatics teams 'will be performing air shows over America's cities,' and in some places that 'aren't major cities,' he added, in a salute to the country's frontline workers who have been combating the coronavirus pandemic.
'This is a tribute to them, our warriors,' the president said.

Blue Angels and Thunderbirds fly over the skies in salute to frontline workers. See the photos.
USA Today, Apr 28, 2020
The Navy and Air Force have commissioned their respective air squadrons — the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds — to fly over Philadelphia, Trenton, N.J. and New York City as a tribute to healthcare workers and other essential workers in the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic.
The flyover is part of President Donald Trump’s Operation America Strong salute, which he announced last Wednesday.

Love the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels and respect what they do, but what a colossal waste of tax payer dollars.
Where are all the promised tests? Where is all the promised PPE? Why did PPA SBA payments go to large corporations with 4.6 million going to the LA Lakers? And as if the 1st roll out of the SBA website was “rocky†the 2nd has been just as bad if not worse not to mention the IRS website that was supposed to tell people where their stimulus payment was or to allow them to update their direct deposit information, both crashing. It makes the roll out of the ACA website look genius in comparison.
But we have military fly overs.
Bread and circuses baby. Bread and circuses.

I agree. 8 years of Obama's waste in government, HIS OPEN BORDERS..allowing in diseases. taking HIS 400K a year, and making his rent a kids, "ambassadors", with which to steal more money from taxpayers and making them multi millionaires. No problems. Shrimp on treadmills. Grants given to watch grass grow, studying ANTS in himmileans. sp?
IRS GIVING THEMSELVES MAJOR PARTY to the tune of millions of dollars. Obama sending out to Chicago fro some hot-dogs for 65 thousand dollars of tax dollars. I could go on. NOW...now....people 'worry' waste? I CALL IT PRACTICING MANEUVERS, GETTING BETTER AT FLYING. THEY HAVE TO DO THIS....then the public get to see them practice.
How do people think they learn how to fly? SITTING IN SOME HANGER? What an ignorant thing to be upset...about.

This is how liberty dies, with uninformed posts such as yours. Have you heard of DEMON-RATS? Those 2 other equal branches of our government, that RESIST, OBSTRUCT, everything POTUS DOES? JUDICIAL, LEGISLATURE. They even said that on TV...OUT LOUD. RESIST. That includes DEMON-RAT governors , (Whittmer) and demon-rat BANKS...IRS. TECHNOLOGY SITES WHO SUPPORT COMMUNISM & NWO..stopping all good things done by POTUS. You bring up NON AFFORDABLE, NEVER NEEDED THIS MANDATED COMMUNIST 'NOT ABOUT HEALTH' PIECE OF SHYT?
THIS IS OUR MILITARY PRACTICING THEIR FLYING AND SOME MANEUVERS, WHICH THEY NEED TO DO. PUBLIC IS JUST FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THIS PRACTICE. You think, they don't do this, other times? You expect them to be ready to defend us, by sitting in the hanger, till it is time?

One only NEEDS tests if one is sick and they need to know how to treat you and with what. I believe, I've had this covid-19 twice. Both were mild. I am a senior, who shored up my immune system. Why would I need any test? I now ,have built up antibodies. Do you get 'TESTED' every time you get the common cold, covid virus? I don't even wear a mask. Why? I get some sunshine, vitamin D, take my silver, green tea, homemade elderberry tincture and trying some moringa.

Utter bullshit post.....
(1) Unless diagnosed how do you know you have had COVID-19?
(2) Shored up your immunity? Lot's of anecdotal that supplement can help, there is absolutley no proof that relying on these supplements will help you prevent infection. Terribly irresponsible of you claim or tell others to do this to prevent that infection.
(3) You have antibodies associated with a prior infection? No. 1, you already stated you haven't been diagnosed, and (2) Not all who get infected develop a serilogical antibodies. (
(4) If your body was so fortified with antibodies, how did you get it twice? Geez.....
(5) Sunshine, vitamin D, silver, green tea, homemade elderberry tincture and moringa? (Fellow Briefers... please rely on your common sense, instead of Dr. Legal and his traveling Snake Oil Show)

Promised tests and PPE take time to deliver.
I'd wager the organization, maintenance, fueling, and briefings for this mission took less time, and none of these guys were likely making or distributing tests or PPE anyway. .
In times of distress, people will look for some sign, some conspicuous and memorable event they can point to for inspiration.
So they got one. That, in and of itself, isn't so bad.
Now, "Break's over...back to work"

Unless diagnosed, you don't. There are some of us who work in the oil patch and related injuries who were in contact with people in the early part of this year from other states which are now hotspots who wonder if we didn't have it. There was a 'bug' going around, low grade fever, lung crud, slow to go away completely, that may have been 'it'. I don't know, but our state's numbers remain low, especially in the oil patch counties, while the East side (no oil) is leading the map in infections.
As for empowering your immune system, yes, you can. THrough maintaining levels of nutrients through diet or supplements you can bolster your immune system.
Reading things like this: Zinc Ionophore Activity of Quercetin and Epigallocatechin-gallate: From Hepa 1-6 Cells to a Liposome Model https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jf5014633# (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jf5014633#)
May even lead to the conclusion, that coupled with Zinc Gluconate supplementation, one might even be able to preload their cells with zinc and avoid the virus altogether.
Dietary plant polyphenols such as the flavonoids quercetin (QCT) and epigallocatechin-gallate act as antioxidants and as signaling molecules. Remarkably, the activities of numerous enzymes that are targeted by polyphenols are dependent on zinc. We have previously shown that these polyphenols chelate zinc cations and hypothesized that these flavonoids might be also acting as zinc ionophores, transporting zinc cations through the plasma membrane.
So, this may be done through the consumption of green tea, and a zinc supplement.
Other dietary considerations may provide resistance to viruses as well.
Ever notice how some people never seem to get a cold?

I find that encouraging too. It reinforces what I've been saying: This lockdown. shelter-in-place business is done, May 1, for the vast majority of the country, whether the local Governors know it or not.

People in unregulated industries will. I can't say the same for people who need license to work, from the Casinos on down to the Hairdressers and Manicurists. Those people are screwed and will have to go to the underground to work.

A couple of them (in TX I think) got caught with a sting entrapment deal. However, if the state gummint wants to stand by punishing these two they'll have a lot of competition.

One of them things I wish I had a woman around for... Except they want to cut on it way too often. But I'd put up with that again, I'd reckon. As it is, I do for myself, with the sheep shears.
My mamma can do, but her hands can't take it too much no more, and my sis can do, but she is awful busy... Maybe I oughta get my DIL goin on it... She'll be having kids pretty soon, and will have to know how.

Thank you. Yes that would be me. The last flu I had was after receiving my FREE flu shot. 103 fever, sore arm, couldn't move it for days, was about 16 years ago No flu or cold since then. NO FLU SHOT EITHER. As a mother & grandmother, I do know how a fever acts. So about 16 years no colds, nothing. That is because as young person, I already got all the virus's and have built up immunity. First covid. Low fever, 2 days in a row, late in the afternoon. Most others know, that is when fevers are the worst. Then it went into the top of my lungs. NO SNIFFLES, NO SNEEZING, NO COUGH. No bowel issue, no throwing up. Took about 5 days, gone. Almost 2 months later, again, low fever in afternoon, daily for about 7 days. Again into lungs, but not bad. NO OTHER SYMPTOMS. Very strange.
What I read, it can repeat. MUTATE. Only low fever (99?)and some lung issues. I don't get the 'attack' by that person or the issue with me saying," I think I had it twice. " My mom was a nutritionist from Europe and my brother is a doctor in California. When I was young I wanted to have a heath food store. NATURAL HEALING.

@Catfish, you have some reading comprehension problems. Why does it matter to you, what I posted?
No where, did I say, I had covid-19. I said. I believe, I did. As a living person, mother & grandmother, I know about fevers and symptoms. My symptoms were consistent with information of what covid-19 manifests as.
Yes, I shored up my immune system. Plan to have my elderberry tincture I made, into a cordial, later. I DID NOT TELL ANYONE TO DO THIS. I am talking about, what I did.
It mutates. What is your real problem? Why so over the top? PEOPLE on here are adults and smart enough to know about vitamins, sunshine etc. 'Take what you want, leave the rest." If I said on here, you should drink bleach, lysol, would YOU DO IT? I do think, you already ate some TIDE PODS.

Back in 1994 the Thunderbirds came to Madison,WI to do the air show. I worked in a paint factory right in downtown Madison at the time an' got to watch them practicing the day before the show. It was awesome. One of the planes actually flew right by our building at rooftop level then did a pylon turn around the smokestack at the powerplant about three blocks away from the Capital building. I also saw them fly right overhead in close six plane formation then do a pylon turn out over the lake. The next day they went up an' did it all over again. Of course the next day a number of guys brought video cameras to work.

The Lakers said they are returning the money. But the question is how did they qualify for it in the first place?
“The Lakers qualified for the program because they have only about 300 employees. But last year Forbes estimated the team was worth $3.7bn, making it the eighth-most valuable team in the world just behind the New England Patriots and Manchester United.â€
