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 just saw on CNN just minutes ago a notable uptick in Texas new cases. One of the 17 states showing an up trend. Up from 7 states week prior. Some lower 48 state map being trotted out.  

You actually watch CNN?

Now the rest of the story. Yes cases are up in Texas. One reason is more testing. The other, most cases are at a processing plant. No more hospitalization. CNN will give the bad without the why. My local news station gave the complete story as did Fox News.

The president brought up the malaria drug again. I’ve been wondering. He’s taking it as a preventative. Turns out many people are doctors and nurses. Lots of good results, especially taken early.

You can forget about any more science being thrown into this equation...

Question for the group. IF your going to toss the CDC under a buss and not trust them then whom do you think has the technical expertise to do what they do? Whose the replacement? 

As much as science is publicly thrown under the bus, ultimately a vaccine is Science.  Right now, the buzz word is "return to normal" (no distancing, safer at home, or mask).  Return to normal means the replacement is, do nothing.

Does taken early mean before or after you get the virus?  If it's before, we all should be taking it.  If it's after, then...

Over the weekend I saw what happens when the government over reaches in in places like New York and New Jersey. People throw caution to the wind and basically go nuts. They have to get out, damn the torpedos. Where In places like Texas and apparently Georgia and Florida. People stick to guidelines when opening. Because people are trustworthy and don’t feel oppressed. In the 4 times I ate out people were behaving like instructed, following guidelines. Things are looking good so far.

I understand that you may not like Gov Cuomo, but calling it government overreach is a bit much.  We're at the epicenter of this so our guidelines need to be stricter.  Believe me, I'm aching to get out and return to some sort of normal, but NJ is the most densely populated state so loosening the restrictions all at once just causes chaos.  They'll have to do it in the same manner that PA is.  Gov Wolf is loosening specific counties week by week.  That way it's not just one big free for all.  As you stated before, a one size fits all plan doesn't work.  Unfortunately for us in the Northeast, our numbers are the highest by far so the guidelines are staying in place longer.  And as such, you'll hear about some unfortunate incidents of people not abiding by the guidelines because more is being asked of us in terms of staying put.

 

I think when people really sit down and take a closer look they'll notice that Gov. Cuomo and President Trump are actually quite alike. They both talk too much during their pressers, and anytime they get a camera in front of them, they immediately put on a show.  Big shock since they're both from NY.

The president is taking it as a preventative. Doctors and nurses the same. I’ve taken it when I went to Malaysia in the 90s. My daughter takes it for lupus. Like any drug some people can’t take it. If you watch any ad on TV for drugs the side effects are scary. It’s risk versus reward. Just like opening the country.

But that leads to another problem, which is the shortage this is causing for people with Lupus who are actually prescribed the drug.

Yeah everyone is entitled to their opinion, I disagree with that one.

Wasn't looking that way, but the answer is yes.

CNN really, no way I watch CNN they are the most fake news network there is as they are one sided only report bad news no wonder there ratings have dropped a lot. Only network news I watch is OAN or Newsmax they tell it like it is and are not one sided. CNN wont even broadcast the President when he is making a update on the virus or the economy. CNN IS A JOKE

Dr. Gupta and the former Surgeon General both say this drug does nothing PROVEN either way. I suppose since they reported this on CNN it to is FAKE news.

Interesting OPINION. 

 

Normally I watch C-SPAN or local NBC. I'd watch FOX but spinning make me sick.

Bingo, we have a winner.

I can't not believe this thread is still breathing.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
