The more contagious the virion the more the police are effected.

The National Guard?

San Jose -Nearly 50 San Jose patrol officers have COVID infections, (click here) prompting the police department to ask officers from other divisions to fill in for them, with the police chief warning a department-wide redeployment could follow if the situation doesn’t improve.

Police officers were informed of the fill-in plan late Saturday night by Chief Anthony Mata in an email obtained by this news organization, outlining how patrols will have to be bolstered by voluntary overtime shifts at least through Sunday.

The police department on Tuesday disclosed that 52 officers are currently sidelined by COVID-19, for which omicron has become the dominant variant with three-fold infectiousness compared to previous incarnations, though it has produced less severe illness.

Of those infected officers, 45 are assigned to patrol. That has left the department hustling to meet its minimum patrol staffing level of 525 officers, which already accounts for nearly half of SJPD’s sworn staff....

 I ordered my COVID self test online without a glitch.🙂

President Biden probably has to issue an Executive Order to prevent a public emergency.

I thought it was a mistake to sell 5G to private industry.

IT IS CALLED "FLY BY WIRE!"

Washington - The chief executives of major U.S. passenger and cargo carriers (click here) on Monday warned of an impending "catastrophic" aviation crisis in less than 36 hours, when AT&T (T.N) and Verizon (VZ.N) are set to deploy new 5G service.

The airlines warned the new C-Band 5G service set to begin on Wednesday could render a significant number of widebody aircraft unusable, "could potentially strand tens of thousands of Americans overseas" and cause "chaos" for U.S. flights...

The airlines had plenty of time to respond to this sale by the US Government.

As wireless giants (click here) like AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile continue to push forward with rollouts of 5G technology, the U.S. government is making more wireless spectrum available for the effort.

The White House and the Department of Defense said Monday that 100 megahertz of mid-band spectrum will be made auctioned off for commercial 5G deployment. The most active user of mid-band spectrum is the U.S. military, which puts it to work on radar systems, air-traffic technology and other purposes.

The Federal Communications Commission will administer the auction.

A statement from the White House said the move will “improve every industry and the lives of all Americans.” The auction is planned for December 2021, with companies being able to start using the spectrum in 2022....

Will nuclear power ever be the perfect Climate Crisis fuel?

 NO!

One algorithm (click here) that lets a robot manipulate a Rubik's Cube used as much energy as 3 nuclear plants produce in an hour.

Let's get this right. That is steam. Nuclear power plants have no or little greenhouse gas emissions. But, they have a significant heat budget in producing energy. 

When nuclear power plants were first developed their "heat transfer" was about keeping the cores cool (click here).

We know nuclear power plants produce a great deal of heat that is expelled into a water pool near the plant. But, they also produce a great deal of heat into the air. These heat transfers have never been measured that I am aware of and they need to be examined for the amount of heat they are producing.

The greenhouse gases are still the primary focus. If we remove those gases from the troposphere and lower the amount of INSULATING layers from Earth, these power plants would be a far less threat to Earth's climate than they are today. Until Earth's troposphere has vastly reduced greenhouse gases in it's content, these plants are adding to the heat budget of Earth, both in the cooling water pools and the steam that is emitted.

So, are nuclear power plants the best alternative to fossil fuel enegy? No. But, they don't produce greenhouse gases and that is everything at this point. Nuclear power plants really do need to be examined to the heat they produce both in the water and the atmosphere. We are measuring Earth's viability of life based on degrees celcius increase. The current standard is to remain below 2 degrees celcius and that is a prudent goal. But, to think because nuclear power doesn't produce greenhouse gases and that should solve all problems is very wrong. Nuclear power plants are a problem on many fronts and HEAT TRANSFER INTO EARTH'S WATERS AND CLIMATE is one of the problems nuclear causes for Earth.

Tonga

The people of Tonga are safe within their homes where no ash exists. It will be a difficult rescue as helicopters will raise too much ash and the people can inhale it. Food drops are necessary as the USA did in Afghanistan in 2001. The ash is also in the water. There may be water pipes the still carry potable water to homes and buildings.

The ocean water surrounding the island need to be tested for Ph levels at the periphery to know the content of the water to send in boats. Slow approach is best to prevent mixing. The ash in time will fall to the bottom of the water column.

There is few good ways to clear the ash. Construction equipment to lift the ash and dump truck to carry it. The first storm that comes with create thick cement like liquid that can be moved with graders. Much will wash into drainage systems that will cause a problem.

There is a lot of it. This is not the first time villages have cleared ash from any habitat areas. My greatest sympathies to Tonga for any losses they have sustained.
