Railcam is back!

 I've put it on the "Beta" blog this time and this is especially special since Amtrak trains are now running on seven days a week schedule. So on these cams which are along the route of the Southwest Chief the schedule is now seven days. I think that changed since earlier this year due to a surge in coronavirus cases although we're largely back to normal now most states and cities have no mask or vaccine mandates.

However, we're currently hearing about surges in cases.

AMC Theatres could be broke by January

 

[VIDEO] I consider myself an AMC customer and enjoy their Stubs premiere membership which one time saved me a lot of money as I built up enough rewards to not pay for tickets or concessions. The only thing I had to pay for after my visit was parking. That cost more than the tickets I think.

Most of the news about what's going on with AMC I get from John Campea and since the start of this pandemic he's been keeping track of AMC's financial health. With the Stubs premiere membership to start with he stated AMC would likely make a profit if that coronavirus hadn't hit. AMC and other theater chains shut down from about March to about August. Like many businesses the film exhibitor industry took a hit because of the lockdowns and changes in consumer behavior.

I don't know how AMC comes out of bankruptcy. Do they recalibrate as most businesses do in this situation? Perhaps they close some locations layoff some people sell some properties. Does another company come in to bail them out or just outright buy them? Will this be the end of the company that was originally founded in Kansas City, Missouri?

We shall see.

Colin Furze: Coronavirus isolation box

[VIDEO] The idea of this is impractical but the construction and demonstration of this isolation is entertaining to watch. Would you want to ride out the pandemic in this thing?

Dan Mace on his #COVID19 experience

[VIDEO] Usually I avoid posting on Sundays on any of my blogs, however, in this case I will make a exception. Besides, I don't really post a lot anywhere these days.

Dan Mace was mentioned in yesterday's video by big time YouTuber Casey Neistat as Mace himself  - as the 67th case of corona in his native South Africa - stated that he was positive for the coronavirus. Listen to Mace talk about his symptoms as he states that others experienced the loss of his sense of smell & taste. He also noted that this symptom was experience reportedly by others who had been infection with this contagion.

He talks about difficulty breathing, fatigue which are symptoms of this virus. However, its often been noted how these are also symptoms of the flu. He was treated accordingly, however, he was actually tested for the coronavirus and he was positive.

Mace has opted not to monetize this video and wants to educate the public on this. I hope someone see this 10 minute video. Instead of panicking I hope they go to the doctor not only to get tested, but to get treated. If you don't have any major medical conditions, especially the illness will be unpleasant however it will still pass.

Casey Neistat on #COVID19

[VIDEO] One of my favorite YouTubers Casey Neistat has his own experience with the coronavirus. His friend and fellow filmmaker Dan Mace had been diagnosed with this very contagious pathogen. He's going to be fine, however, he experience issues with his breathing for example and trying to get tested. That seems to be a recurring thing once this became a real issue in American society, you don't get tested unless your condition is grave.
