I receive embassy updates for US citizens in Ecuador. Today, this was interesting regarding flights to get out of Ecuador:
This flight is not for the faint of heart and promises to be grueling.**The flight will be in the cargo hold of a C-130 military transport aircraft, which is noisy and cold/hot depending on outside conditions.**The route is from Quito to Panama then on to Norfolk, Virginia.* The plane will overnight in Panama and passengers will likely not be able to disembark during that time.* Passengers will also not have access to food or water, so will need to take enough of both for the entire flight.* The flight will proceed to Norfolk on Monday, March 30.

·********Please note this flight will arrive at a U.S. military installation and you will be responsible for coordinating your onward travel, including transit from the base to a commercial airport.**The closest major airport is Norfolk International Airport (https://www.norfolkairport.com/).
It's really terrible that the doctors and nurses on "the front line" (it is appropriate) don't have what they need to stay safe, they are risking their own lives to save others.
These people are dedicated. But, they didn't sign up for that. They aren't military, trained, paid, and covered financially for such circumstances.
These people deserve everyone's admiration and attention and support right now. All of us, as Americans, should demand they be treated with the utmost respect and given the tools they need.
Would we stand by and accept that after someone bombed us, we send soldiers to the front line without weapons?
In this Covid19 crisis, many people are now using the video app, ZOOM, working or "socializing" from home. Even some sectors of Govt are using it - Boris Johnson etc. I naively thought ZOOM was 'ok'....not so at all. This article is succinct on the substantial privacy issues with ZOOM and suggests alternatives.
Honestly, we use pixels on FIO as well to help us make business decisions. We need to track conversions, new members, acquisition costs vs marketing budget, etc. It's not evil.
The municipality just drove by, spraying for COVID-19, telling everyone to stay inside. We've been on very strict "shelter in place" with curfew and only permitted to leave for pharmacy or grocery store twice a week, 5 hour window.
I'm not sure this spraying is anything other than "comfort food".
