American Airlines flight attendants received the news of the death of their colleague — Paul Frishkorn — on Thursday evening in a joint letter from the airline’s senior VP of flight service and presidents of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA). The 65-year-old Philadelphia-based flight attendant had worked with American Airlines since 1997. He had been twice honored as one of the airline’s Flight Service Champions for excellent customer service. He was also a union representative with the APFA. “Our hearts go out to Paul’s loved ones, many of whom work for American,” the airline said in a statement to Travel + Leisure. “He will be missed by the customers he cared for and everyone at American who worked with him.” [link to www.travelandleisure.com (secure)] |

Clinging to my guns and Bibles User ID: 76239479 United States 07/13/2020 09:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One of my kids works in a busy grocery store as a cashier, bagger, and cart pusher. He touches all the items from every shopper plus touches the handles on their carts. My brother works in a different busy store from the same chain but in the grocery department. My sister works for a department store as a cashier. Yes, they have hand sanitizer at every register and they spray down the carts, but these are still high risk occupations. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53199845 None of them know a single fellow employee who has contracted the virus. This is anecdotal, I know, but these are still good indicators of how pervasive something is. Yeah I’ve heard similar. I took my daughter, reluctantly, to the ER last night because we thought she might have appendicitis. Low fever at home but no fever at the hospital. Localized lower right abdominal pain. They did bloodwork and she had normal WBC but elevated eosinophils. They did a CT which came back totally normal. So when talking about discharge the doctor asked if she wanted to get a COVID test just to be safe. No Covid symptoms. No fever at the hospital. Her O2 was very omg between 99 and 100 even though she was wearing an N95 the whole time (5 hours straight that we were in the damned ER). There was no way on Earth she had the Chinese virus but the fucking doctor still tried to get us to have her tested. I said no she doesn’t need that. Thanks anyway. Also, when other people in the ER started leaving their rooms, ducking hospital staff started yelling at them to get back in their rooms saying shut like “you want to get Covid and wind up on a vent?” Holy shit! Winter is Coming. |

User ID: 79142146 Nepal 07/13/2020 09:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What immunizations are they required to get as part of their employment? Quoting: dodger007 Or maybe their natural immune systems have been bolstered by massive contact with people and environments. Yeah that may be a factor. My sister is a BA puser and the flight attendants get flu jabs. That said they have hardly been flying of late but i believe it is picking back up. Not sure if she knows anyone that's had it though? A few Nepali airlines pilots have had it after these repatriation flights ongoing now. The gov't have said the number off infections in returnees to Nepal is very high. Most are coming from the middle east which is full of it supposedly? My mum wants me to go to UK with my daughter as soon as travel is allowed but i am worried about the middle east transit part. I dunno what to believe with it all atm. I believe it is a real virus but the craziness around it is beyond comprehension and i don't want to risk my little girls health nor pick it up and take it back to my elderly parents so i am a bit torn tbf. I think i will sit it out for a bit til xmas maybe |

Yet we aren't seeing many of them getting sick. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79086006 Why? Easy. Because HOAXES aren't communicable. The Great Spanish Influenza was caused by the inoculations themselves. Thank you Mr. Rockefeller!!! My personal favorite is all those poor bastards that came back from the war with 'shell shock' having never seen the battlefield. Allopathic medicine is fraud. Autism is caused by inoculations. SIDS is caused by inoculations The entire family of ADD is caused by inoculations. Let me explain the mathematical concept of sets with a working example. No child who has never been inoculated has ever become Autistic. All Autistics have been inoculated. Hopefully one day humanity is able to extricate ourselves from the Dark Ages... It's never ended. |
