Lessons from Covid-19. In this video I highlight some of the main aspects of the Corona virus pandemic and what changes it has brought to our world. Origins of the virus. While there is an abundance of conspiracy theories that suggest we could have predicted a global pandemic there is actual scientific evidence for such a view. A microbiology review paper published in 2007 suggested that the combination of the consumption of horseshoe bats in Southern China, and the presence of SARS-CoV-like viruses in the area was a ‘time bomb.’ One that sadly has now exploded. Spread of the virus. The Corona virus is obviously highly contagious, but at the current time it is not believed to be airborne. This means it spreads only via the droplets created when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets land on surfaces and are transferred to others who touch them. People then become infected with the virus when touching their faces or mouth. Of course, that means the first line of defence is to thoroughly and regularly wash our hands with soap or to use a hand sanitizer. Lockdown. There is a lot of confusion between the terms lockdown, self-isolation, and self-quarantine right now. Lockdown is the state of emergency that governments implement within a country or geographical area. The idea is to limit the movements of people within that area, therefore slowing the spread of the virus. In practical terms in the UK, this means people should not leave their homes unless absolutely necessary. That means visiting friends or family members that live outside of their residence is not allowed. It also means that wherever possible, you should work from home and avoid being in public. The only valid exceptions to these rules include going outside for exercise, to get essential food or medical supplies, or to minister to the vulnerable. All of which should be minimised as much as possible. In fact, when engaged in such exceptions, you should also adhere to social distancing rules. That is to stay at least 6 feet away from another person at any time. Self-isolation. Perhaps the most significant confusion is between self-isolation and self-quarantine. Self-isolation (currently 12 weeks is recommended) is designed for those that are already sick. That is those that have underlying health conditions and are vulnerable to the worst effects of the virus. The idea being that by isolating themselves from the rest of society, they significantly reduce the risk of being infected with the Corona virus.

My recommended books, products, and equipment: https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/benlovegrove By: http://www.luffships.com The Patrol Airship Concept Evaluation (PACE) Trials in 1983 at the former Weeksville Naval Air Station (NAS) North Carolina undertaken by Airship Industries The PACE Trials were a follow up from the joint evaluation of lighter-than-air (LTA) aircraft in 1982 conducted by the USA’s Coast Guard and Department of Defense. The study undertaken by them was “to determine the feasibility of developing an airship to meet Navy and Coast Guard needs”. To facilitate things, the US Navy contracted Airship Industries Ltd (AI) in the UK (headed by Roger Munk) for lease of an AI SKS500 airship for evaluation purposes; considered by them to be the same size as the Goodyear Blimp, but with a payload capacity by weight of plus 40% - enabled by vectored thrust arrangements to balance serious all-up weight change without load exchange when hovering. After all, airships enable long endurance patrol with significant loiter capability to remain over an area of interest (proved in both WWI and II), but need ways to balance aerostatic lift (buoyancy) with weight and/or other means (vertical thrust) when there’s little aerodynamic lift from airspeed. At the time Luffships.com’s founder Charles Luffman was an aspiring aircraft engineer in his early thirties employed by AI in 1981 to help with general design, engineering and structural analysis to enable a type certificate for the SKS500 airship series (awarded 21 Nov 1984, believed to be the first for an airship). After completing an urgent task to design and then project manage the development, installation and test of a new better undercarriage needed, he was tasked to facilitate arrangements for the subsequent PACE Trials at Weeksville in 1983. This led to similar design/engineering and project management work for SKS500-03 modifications desired for a deployable boat below its gondola plus means for crew access and boat recovery with the crew aboard. The task also included installation of a rescue winch above the gondola’s entrance door. The task involved: various modifications of the deployable boat (an Avon Sea Rider), the SKS500-03’s gondola (for new apertures and reinforcements) and design of necessary winch mounting parts. He also interacted with the electrical systems’ engineer Tony Pattison, production/assembly teams and airship crew led by Peter Buckley, who also was the test pilot. Charles project managed the modifications/installations, seeing it all through as one of the trials test engineers with Tony. The boat modifications were undertaken in the UK by Aerospace construction Ltd (Ascon) who also made the winch mounting parts. Their team, led by Mick Paton, we ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jBiLn1D42w
