Funny is, if you trace the Flu/Cold around the globe, 'Rona seems to follow the same path.  For example, Australia and New Zeland, what 2 gems, not a single case, closed the borders, NZ Jacinda Arden, the Kiwi's savior...  well, take note, while in the Northern Hemisphere was in winter, positive cases on the rise.  Now, the Southern Hemi is on their winter cycle and they are

 

Mates, Guys... the 'Rona behaves like a flu.  Treat it as such.  We will rise again as soon winter arrive and why is that?  Less Sun, less Vitamin D.  Eating crap, less Zinc and Vitamin C.  Specially the associated sweets that comes with the holidays.

 

I bet, mark my words, as soon we start hitting winter, the Aussies and Kiwis will see improvements.

 

 

Oh, by the way... we are on a decline of Flu, Pneumonia, even Motor Accidents deaths, they are getting cataloged as 'Rona as long the test is positive and nobody bothers to check or care.

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

Hum...you actually watch the news? Like perhaps the numbers from the countries that lay on the equator?

 

Ya know, like BRAZIL!!

#2 in the world for cases and deaths right behind the good old USA. Plenty of Sunshine. 

Of course they did it on 1/3 of the population.

 

Virus does't care about the weather.

:wtf:

Just imagine how bad Brazil would be if they didn't hand out hydroxychloroquine as if it were preventative medicine/a cure for covid-19...

I’ve been stopping at truck stops on my trip East. Mostly loves. In Florida we stop at a chick fila. Their lobby was open. What a surprise. Like usual their drive through was way back there. My wife has the app. We walked in and it was ready. Myrtle Beach appears less than half full, amazing. Mostly every where mask wearers. If that the case every where along with the amount of hand sanitizer I’ve seen. The bug should be gone, right? Right!!!

Wrong.  Wearing a mask and washing your hands frequently have not been presented as being a perfect solution.  And then there is the 1/3rd of the population making a point of spitting on other people in the name of freedom...

I'm glad you're seeing appropriate safety precautions on your travels, Karnut.    Davester is correct that mask wearing is not the "silver bullet."  Seeing a lot of people wearing masks while infection rates climb  will not mean masks are ineffective.  However, individuals who voluntarily wear a mask are striving to do their part to slow the spread and should be respected for their efforts and care for their fellow citizens.  If the majority of people wore masks properly when social distancing is not possible, washed hands frequently,  and stayed home when feeling ill,  infection rates will slow.   Making no effort or undermining the positive efforts of others are definitely ineffective in fighting the spread of this virus.

How do you continue to sell reason to those who abhor reason?

So we can take the outbreak in Brazil as undeniable proof that HCQ doesn’t work. But it is somehow not proof that masks don’t work, even though their population uses them more often than just about any other country? I have trouble keeping up with what some of you consider to be “reason”.

I’m doing my part even if I’m somewhat skeptical. Some people on here following the my way or the highway model. Even resorting to name calling. I can find noted doctors on both sides of the argument. Noted how you were responded to by one of those name callers. The difference between me an the name callers I can be swayed. The news organizations that push shut downs. Are the same ones who report on the continued ( peaceful) protesters. It’s hard to take them seriously about covid.

Guys,Guys!  You just read my gibberish and put no validity into it!  I already explained to you the purpose of the MASKS!  Your not slowing the SPREAD!  OnTheReel posts shows country polling of mask use I assume?  Which is more anecdotal evidence of mask spread!  I already referenced the "SHIPS" there is no parsing that data...for you astute statisticians!  The viral inoculum is proportional to severity of disease state on patient. The severity of that disease is proportional to immune response and memory response is too...some will go 4 weeks...most 3months others that BATTLED THE NASTY go 9months.

 

There is much disinformation on these pages so understand your mask contributes to SPREAD!  Stay away from older people esp. 80+ MASK or NOT your endangering those people because most live sedentary lifestyles and little to no interactions with others and their "memory" has all but faded on Similar Corona like strains....

 

For those of you counting the "New Cases" keep counting you don't know what data your looking at anyway........the "Herd immunity" factoring is already very apparent and those looking for 80% have not the medical background to disseminate the immune system and virus it's complicated and even more so now....so please stop! 

 

Abhorrent behavior is just as much Donning the Mask as it is Doffing the mask......I know your smart....and your waiting for the "Vaccine"  umm, "OK" may or may not work for you?  But you will never know the difference anyway?  That is the comical part more than likely by the time it comes to take your "Vaccine" you already had your Asymptomatic Covid-19 Battle now your taking a hurriedly mfg'd vaccine with about as much known about the Covid Vaccine as the virus itself and will clearly last 6-9 months!!!  The memory from your Asymptomatic infection would have done that all on it's own......POOP,POOR little guy as GOVT tells your what's best for you and your FAMILY...LOL 

 

Note!  I will not let Democratic/Marxists/Liberal Lunatics DESTROY THE USA!   I ain't under YOUR THUMB it's time to MAN UP SILENT MAJORITY AND STAND YOUR GROUND!

I swear there was a guy here who just said this wasn’t possible...but now even the NYT is getting curious. More redemption for the people who have been screaming this for months. Maybe the libs are finally catching on after having destroyed all the stuff they care about over nothing.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
