Please do not tell me you are surprised about such an (alleged) behaviour by Trump, the guy who tried to get exclusive rights for a vaccine.

Thinking this was not going to happen would have been as naïve as expecting a united response from the EU showing widespread solidarity with their countries that have been affected the most.

I don't know. I didn't think the US under Trump had changed so drastically in such a short time that it would treat its allies in such a shabby manner. Even at the low point of German-American relations under Bush there was no doubt we'd have each other's back in time of humanitarian crisis.

Someone as dumb as Bush was a statesman compared to the narcissist clown they have in the White House now.

On a related note, why would Trump treat the Fatherland like that? Has he forgotten he is German by blood?

If you can call Southampton Docks civilisation :bigsmile:

If I'd pointed the camera the other way you would have seen Fawley Refinery instead. Even so, Weston Shore is still a nice place to have on your doorstep. Just don't hang around there at the moment, or the Plods will send you home (possibly with a fine if you argue). Fortunately, they didn't notice me stopping to take that picture ;)

Refineries make AVGAS, thus I like them.

I didn't say I disliked it, just implied that the average person probably wouldn't consider it too picturesque. But I can find beauty in it: on a bright sunny day I can imagine it's a romantic castle with lots of whitewashed round towers. And at night the flarestacks can look very dramatic (probably not too environmentally friendly though).

I see flarestacks as business opportunities :D better process control and they wouldn't have to burn stuff they could sell.

I see flares as a safety measure, and any flared gas is stuff that could've been put to use before becoming CO2.

I have very fond memories of the time I spent in Southampton (lived in Portswood and Shirley).
 
With record-setting speed, vaccinemakers take their first shots at the new coronavirus

Researchers at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine working on a prototype vaccine delivered via a fingertip-sized patch in mice have shown it can induce an immune response against SARS-COV-2 at levels that might prevent infection.
