I mean New Orleans is going to have the Problem...Over and Over and over...1st it was Seattle has a problem, Florida? etc. etc.  The only major problematic Urban area I see is CHICAGO it's been going on for weeks their attitudes and cultures are showing...... 

My point was they didn’t have the same problem, comparably speaking. But had large crowds. Throw in the maniac gatherings at grocery stores early on. The cure is going to be worse than the disease once those tallies are in. Don’t worry the press will tally it all. The headline will be Trumps over reaction causes heat ache for country. Just before the election.

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

If state gov and the company CEO (or plant manager) would have allowed one of every two employees stay home to recover, the company would have achieved social distancing by default.  Their closed "essential plant" would have produced less, but they would have remained open.

Unfortunately, meat packing plants are past that now, so an Executive Order will be signed for these plants to remain open, some have to reopen.  The conundrum, an Executive Order can keep the plants open, but to my knowledge, can't force a worker (sick or not) back to work.

An additional 2450 death has been recorded in the US today. The total number of Covid-19 cases around the world is now 3 million. I feel like things will never be the same even if the pandemic is over. My brother is already tired from a 12 hours shift so that he can take care of his patients. He is trying to be optimistic every time I talk to him, how can you argue with someone who is passionate about helping others. He is lucky that both his SWAB test results are negative even if he is experiencing sore throat and fever, he badly needs to rest.

What actually scares me is not necessarily the numbers we see in the news every day.

What scares me is how easy it is to bring our "western economies" down.

I can only hope that those "individuals", who hate the western economies, don't have any means of watching the news....

 

so long

This is what they are calling 'Flattening the Curve' Average new cases are level around 80K a day. They want to see this number decline steady for two weeks. 

They at least hope that the number of new cases at plateau remains 

under the peak the medical fields effective treatment capacity.

This is the rate of acceleration curve. To hold the above graph level the acceleration needs to be zero.

And stay there.

This curve is the one that needs to flatten.

No one talks about this one.

This one will not flatten until there are no more new cases. 

More new cases breeds more deaths.

As of today more people have died of COVID-19 in the USA in just under three months than ALL US Military deaths over twenty years in Vietnam.

 

FYI

As I suggested throughout this thread. It appears the more testing that’s being done, the more the death rate per infected drops. The what if’s and other comparisons are bound to be all over. Shamefully depending on the political persuasions the one thing is certain. A true accounting is going to hard to come by. The only real comparison should be. The virus verses the cure. That is the shut down. The fall out plus the misery is going to be felt long after the virus subsidies. Without honest accounting and lessons learned. This kind of co- operation wouldn’t happen again.

Number 1, it’s a new bug no vaccines, unlike the flu. Number 2 We are entering month 3 or 6 or more depending on who you believe . Some say it was around much sooner. And I may add, it’s not as of yet at the worst flu year certainly in hospitalizations or deaths. Just two years ago. One thing for certain it’s scared the daylights out of everyone. Some needlessly.

What is really scary to is now about the same number of Americans have died in 4 months as the whole 10 years of the Vietnam war.

That kind of comparison is useless and has no purpose. The comparison should be whether to have isolation or not. Just how many are really infected and who really is at risk. Just in case there’s a next wave. The Vietnam war and after proved unless you’re in it to win don’t do it. Plus those deaths were youngsters with whole lives ahead of the them. Most people who get this bug are at the other end of the spectrum. And can stay at home. Comparison for comparison sake doesn’t accomplish much, other than gee wiz.

      This is exactly the reason our EV has consumed so much of my driving. I don't want to fire up a cold diesel or gas engine just to drive 2 miles up to the store. It's arguably terrible for an engine. If I'm not driving at least 10 miles and don't need to do truck things, the truck stays parked.   Enter the EV. It's immediately heating or cooling the cabin as needed (heat pump). An engine doesn't need to warm up or be driven gently. I can tear off in it with ZERO guilt. Move the car 1/4 mile from store to store and not think "gee, I'm short-cycling a lukewarm engine".   It doesn't idle in a drive-through. Doesn't idle at stop lights. (OK, neither would the diesel, if I let stop-start have its way, but I don't).   Even moving it out of the garage to wash it... HA! It doesn't need to be started just to move 40 feet. I have cars that I will actually put in neutral and push (no start) in/out of the garage or shop if they absolutely HAVE to be moved. My nice Camaros.

      Transmission temperature 10speed with 3.0 LZO Duramax

      By Rick_ · Posted

      I traced the atf cooling system in my 1500 and it comes out of the transmission, into the bar/plate liquid/liquid heat exchanger, as stated above.  Then it crosses over to the external thermostat/bypass and then  to the aux cooler in front of the main radiator.  Hence, on this routing, the PPE thermostat bypass eliminator is an $85 piece of bling that does nothing for reducing atf temps on this truck.  I think I'll temporarily clamp a needle nose vise grip on the coolant feed hose to the bar/plate cooler and see how much the atf temp drops.  With the use of ULV trans fluid, I'm not convinced running the trans cooler than OEM spec is going to be detrimental to the life of the transmission.    I found this interesting on the Dana/Long site stating that they make transmission cooling/heating bar plate heat exchangers.  I worked with Dana/Long on a few projects when I was at the gas powered fun factory. https://www.dana.co.jp/downloads/PTG/Long/Dana_TOC_SpecSht.pdf  Bar plate heat exchangers are just a stack of stamped parallel path fluid channels, assembled and vacuum furnace brazed to make the final assembly.  Want more cooling/heating, just stack more plates until you run out of package space.   Anyway, thanks for the info, much appreciated.

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.
