Mama Mia! 52 cases confirmed in Italy

COVID-19 is now confirmed to have infected 52 people across Italy: 39 in Lombardy, 12 in Veneto, 1 in Turin and a suspected case in Umbria.

The viral outbreak that began in China has infected nearly 78,000 people globally and, on Friday, Italy became the first country in Europe to report the death of one of its own nationals from the coronavirus, triggering a lockdown in about a dozen towns.

Ask Papa Chia about the new banking law book. It was issued by the CBI. It’s only written in Arabic. It won’t let me copy & paste to google translate.

Yea sir. Way too much reading. Was wondering if he heard about it in general. 
Typically, the CBI offers an English option. 
That’s what sparked my interest. And the fact it won’t let me translate it. 
mill try switching to my office computer. 
 

Thank you sir!

I hope all is well.

He didn’t mention it tonight but then again he really wouldn’t care about banking laws. He did talk about the 1 case of corona virus from his hometown and we talked about there not being speed limits in Iraq and how he was doing 180 kph one time on the way to the base called “Camp duke” because he was late.. lol

If my math is correct, that converts to 111.6 mph! That sounds terrifying!!

That's fun, what an adrenaline rush. In my younger years I topped my Harley shovelhead at 120mph! What a rush! Screaming loud, the motor (loud pipes), not me. 😁

I tried following my wife on the turnpike after work. She was scootin!  I ended up doing 140-mph to catcher her! 
Only had 15-mph to go, before the governor got involved.

Tonight when I saw my friend he said, “see, I told you they wouldn’t do anything!!” Lol

 

Then he went on to say on Iraqi TV, Sadr was being interviewed and basically admitted to being behind the killings of the protestors in Najaf. He said it was basically similar to punishing a child that was being bad to teach everyone a lesson. He said if he wanted to, his militias would forceably get rid of the American forces in Iraq. My friend said he was being arrogant and cocky as if he can’t be touched.. My friend is searching for a video with English sub titles so I can pass it along to everyone but can’t find one in English yet. 
 

Didn’t we see an article a few days ago where the US is wanting to put sanctions on Sadr or something similar? Maybe I read something wrong but This could be the reason, I guess time will tell.. I will post the video here if he finds one with English subtitles..

Thanks Umbertino, seen it many times. That's my last name, had to live up to it, got the scars & broken bone's to prove it. What a blast. 😊

Those that lived through the '70's & 80's know what I mean. Started mellowing out after fracturing my back in '89. Thanks be to GOD I got to walk again.

Need an emoji on a Harley 👍

Great, wildeman....Wind in your hair, etc....I couldn't as I'm bald myself.....

[wildeman]

LOL.. right there with ya, but I got the nice shiny solar dome action that I comb over. We'll just have to go with wind in your face, loud pipes as music.
