Fox News Jet Infects CEO & Main Reporters

"...FoxNews network President Jay Wallace, The Five hosts Dana Perino and Juan Williams, chief political anchor Bret Baier and The Story anchor Martha MacCallum were on a charter flight from Nashville to New York with the infected person on Thursday."
A 14-day quarantine is now imposed on these five reporters.

With one week left in the campaign, FoxNews just lost it's main reporters and the network's CEO to a not-so-hoaxy virus.

Knowing how careful any flight crew is, with all safety protocols, I doubt if the flight crew is the source. The infected person had to have been exposed well before the debate as incubation takes at least two days to become contagious.

4. Point of Trivia. William Shatner vehemently did not want to speak these words in this tone.

He fought with director Nicholas Meyer to not do it with such cruelty.

According to Shatner, Meyers tricked him into doing this and then disregarded his wishes regarding the final editing.

Shatner said to Meyers, "Kirk wouldn't speak this way."

I remember my first time seeing Star Trek 6. I was shocked that my boyhood hero would say this.

Kirk is a man of mercy.

especially from someone who knew his son all of ten minutes it seems.

I don't know though. A younger Kirk was pretty ticked off at the Gorn at first.

8. He spared the life of the Gorn which caused the Metrons (superior beings) to think well of humanity.

In Star Trek III, he attempted to show mercy to the Cap't Kruge who killed his son, but that klingon wouldn't have it.

A friend of mine said that David was not cool enough to be Kirk's son.

Kirk knew his son for a few months before he was killed.

Geez, I speak of this like it's something real that happened.

We could only wish it would do away with the single channel that is trying hard every day to destroy our democracy and tear the country apart.

Smaller than Fux, but FAR more virulent and also growing far faster.

17. You know, outside of the US, I've heard Corona is called 'The Rich Man's Disease'.

Because, the locals had noticed the correlation between people flying around in jets and the spread of the virus.

The Faux brain-trust thought flying in a chartered plane made them invincible and a little better that the rest of the riff-raff. Well, no, that's how disease works in it's cruelest way. It hits you when your defenses are at their lowest. When you think you're the safest and are smarter than a virus. Viruses aren't smart at all. In fact they don't think. Working instead based on a chemically regulated program. They only do one thing, which is reproduce. They're very very good at that one thing they do. All they need to do is get enough viruses close to a person for a relatively short time.
