My niece works at a funeral home, 3 bodies came in last week that they were told were covid deaths. They have to take different precautions with those bodies and its more of a hassle for them as well. Those 3 bodies were all changed 3 days later to different cause of death because their Covid tests came back negative. I highly doubt the numbers are being adjusted in those cases. When MN only has 39 deaths and one place alone has 3 cases like that it definitely smells like shat and it wouldn't be hard to believ there is much more of this happening.

 

Italy is also revising all of their deaths for very similar reasons. Doubtful that left wing media will cover any of that either.

I’m wondering. Remember H1-N1? Mass hysteria? Stock Market going crazy? Who’s going to make money? Who’s pushing the most hysteria?

I work in a gov't office in a secret underground undisclosed location, as they say.  No, really.  We received a briefing from an epidemiologist in Washington State.  He said that if you put someone in

I take high blood pressure medication. Have been for 30 years. It is safe but has side effects. Including a chance for kidney damage, weight gain, irregular heart beat among others. I’ve fought obesity all my life, I smell food I gain a pound. Some times I feel anxious, my heart rate just spiked. I have to keep my blood check now getting older for sighs of kidney or liver problems. My grandfather had high blood pressure. There’s was no medication available. We were all at his house on a Sunday when he suddenly died in his early 50s. I’m over 10 years pass his passing age. I’ll take the side effects. All medications have them.

Just like the fake news, some people won't open their eyes to anything and will continue to make excuses.....only because a certain person mentioned it. He might as well have called it rat poison. It's laughable at best to say there is no proof that it is working for people.

The senator /Dr from MN explained that in a video I posted, but I guess you discarded those already too.

No, I watched it last night when you posted it.  Why are you being so antagonistic?

Lots of people went over their skis over this. How can new Orleans be close to flatten the curve? Their mardi gras was after the Houston live stock rodeo. Houston shut it down. New Orleans didn’t. Houston is still slowly climbing. Turns out New York and New Orleans will have been able to handle their sick with out the out side help, or that much according to reports. This is what happens when doctors and the media run the show. I stand by my early post.

That goes both ways.  Other people will continue to make excuses for mistakes that have been made or things that have been said by a certain person.  We live in a very divided country right now and BOTH sides are responsible for it.  I miss John McCain, even though I didn't agree with some of his ideas he really understood the need for both sides to work together.

 

Are we taking part in a discussion or are we just going to go back and forth insulting each other because of our beliefs and values?

We are all being taken advantage of at this point and our lives are being ruined. Freedoms and rights have been taken from all of us and I do think everyone should be a at least a bit concerned about that. But you're right I digress. Just bothers me that so many people are ok with bending over and taking it.

more information to make your head spinnnnnnnnnn........ i do wonder, when we re-open  the USA  after the lock down, the virus will still be around. it's not just gonna go away, if it does slow it will only be back next season after the holidays. nothing will change. many jobs will now be lost, due to forced automation and robotics taking over because people are just spreading a flu/influenza bug, perfect takeover tactic

everyone needs to start developing home businesses to prepare for more corporate take over and union crushing

My daughter is a barber- hair stylist. They’re closed of course. She’s been a week trying to sign up for unemployment. Our system isn’t set up for this. It gives certain times to do it. Every time she tries it changes the time. I suspect the numbers are much higher.

There was a fella on the night news last evening who spent 5 HOURS on hold trying to get unemployment and then his call dropped. TWICE! :shakehead:

never thought it would actually happen in our country, but I foresee riots in the near future. You can't put people in this kind of situation and not expect people to take desperate measures.

I'm a cautious person, so taking these measures to ensure my family's health is worth it to me.  We all have our priorities and beliefs, so if you feel that your freedoms and rights have been taken then you have every right to be upset.  But not everyone views it the way that you do, and that's ok.  Each side has a different mindset on this.  Far left democrats are freaking out making it seem like the plague and it's not.  Far right republicans are freaking out making it seem like this is all a scheme to make the president look bad and it's not.

 

I prefer to ride somewhere down the middle.  I do believe that social distancing is necessary.  I don't think that all these businesses needed to close IF people could use common sense and follow the social distancing rules.  The problem is we have a high number of clueless people in this country that can't follow basic social distancing rules to ensure everyone's safety and health, and they ruin it for the rest of us.  Would I like to be able to safely go out and enjoy myself, yes.  But I can't because there's always people that just don't care and that's how we get into situations like this.  Case in point, just watch the videos of all the college kids on spring break talking about how they don't care about COVID-19 and that they're still gonna party.  Fast forward a few weeks, some of them contracted it and just endangered anyone they came in contact with that might have underlying conditions.

 

This country could be so much better if we all just used common sense, treated each other with respect, and didn't try to take advantage of others.  But I don't see this happening anytime soon.

When president says the sky is blue. The news organizations say he must have stock in the color blue. We’ll never be completely on the same page.

You have every right to do whatever it is that makes you comfortable. At what point do you say the coast is clear though? It should be left up to individuals what risks they take just as it has always been for my entire life. You and anyone else have the right to stay locked up for whatever duration you choose, no one can ever force you to go out and take any risk you aren't ok with. But those willing to take a calculated risk have lost the freedom to make that choice. If you don't see the problem with that than you aren't using common sense. Some people have financial situations that will allow them to get through this, others do not. Not considering those folks is selfish.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.

      I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.

      There's absolutely a mountain of profit in catering to the "I do my own research" crowd, people who are certain they know better. And I don't mean there isn't data to support that 0w40 produces less wear product than 0w20 in an engine like the 3.0 Duramax, that only feeds them the assurance they need. Again, my whole thing with oil selection is, sure, 0w40 or 0w30 produces less wear product. Are we talking the difference between the engine lasting only 100k versus 200k? Or are we talking more like, if the engine will already go 350k on a good 0w20 regimen recommended by the OE, is using 0w40 going to get us to 355k, assuming we can even get the rest of the truck to last that long, meanwhile sacrificing the first 5y, 100k in powertrain warranty. The answer isn't easy, there are tradeoffs.   I willfully use 0w20 Dexos D for this reason, knowing that a 0w40 will produce slightly less wear. I don't believe the delta in wear product is meaningful over the lifetime of the engine, and I place much more importance on driving style and overall feeding and care of the engine as a whole. It's the mentality that someone can abstain from alcohol their whole life which is an amazing boost to health by itself, theoretically. But if they're sedentary, that lifestyle choice will most likely kill them young despite their other, concerted efforts. Maybe someone doesn't drink AND they are the perfect picture of health and activity AND they use 0w40 AND they treat their engine perfectly. If living until 130 years is the goal, sure, do that. But it's going to be a really old truck falling apart around a good engine for that last 30 years, without a doubt.   I watched Demonworks' other video on the 100k+ 3.0 Duramax that had dealer 0w20 changes on what appears to be OLM-prescribed intervals (8-10k).   The QR codes are still present and readable on the main bearings. That's how little wear it has.   That's not proof that anyone else should stick to 0w20, but it's confirmation, for me, that 0w20 is perfectly acceptable to use in these engines.
