Florida has declared state of emergency in the counties where the Zika virus has shown up. Do you think that eventually laws will be passed preventing persons in infected parts of the world from becoming pregnant and also forced abortion if they have the virus? Or will they be forced to purchase some expensive medication?

FROM *Life in the skies* :"In an aircraft’s cockpit, the captain always sits on the left side and this has raised queries as to why he never sits on the right. The reason for this in a commercial jetliner seems to be rather historical. It is like asking why some cars are left-hand drive whilst others are right-hand drive

At the end of the World War I, most fighter aircraft were designed and fitted with rotary engines. When it came to steering these rotary-engine aircraft, turning to the left was easier because it followed the torque of the engine, whereas turning to the right was harder, as it was against the torque (twisting) forces. Hence, it would require more rudder movement to compensate for the forces. Because of this, pilots chose to turn left as a more convenient manoeuvre and thus, most traffic patterns in the air around airfields involved mainly left turns.

When bigger planes were designed with side-to-side seating, the co-pilot was made to sit on the right. The left-hand seat was made exclusively for the captain. It comes with complete flight instruments and controls. This seat also afforded better visibility with the assumption that more frequent left turns are made during the flight.

During the early days of aviation, the fact that the pilot was occupying the left seat made it logical for the aircraft to keep to the right side along the airways. Early aviators would often navigate visually by following roads and railways. Opposite traffic along the same line would then pass each other on the left. Because of the tradition that arose from the rotary engines, jet planes today continue having the captain sitting on the left-hand side of the cockpit."

Once the damage is done it will take forever to repair it. And notice the one line correction under the heading of 'update' rather than "correction "

The PLP spin doctors and mischief makers are hard at work. This is just a preview of what's gonna happen over the next 14 months or so. Of course you would not expect this from the Tribune and obviously they did not verify there story.

Questions: has a vaccine been developed for Zika? Will it only work on selective persons like the Ebola vaccine?

John says...

newsflash: The first human to human transmission of the ZIKA virus has been confirmed in Texas. While the mode of transmission has not yet been confirmed it is believed that the disease was sexually transmitted by a man who recently returned to the US from Venezuela. The Zika virus has been patented since 1947 and intense research was going on since 2002 to develop a vaccine for the virus. Any questions?
