Although I still look at them, I'm desensitized with individual graphs and statistics.  The back and forth distorted my view.  The only info that interest me today is if for some inadvertent reason FOX, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, etc, link satellites and transmit the same news at the same time.  For example, cases are increasing.  Then, that's probably believable.   

It is expected that the cases are increasing.  Mainly because in the last few weeks we went from testing 100,000 people in America per day to 600,000 thousand people in America per day.  We are more quickly gaining a picture of how widespread this already was.

I heard an interesting stat this morning. It’s general knowledge the deaths are degreasing as time passes. Interesting though the state with the most deaths are states that are still shut down. Texas and Florida are among the lowest. Texas is under 100 per million. The younger less at risk people may be increasing herd immunity while the older population is protecting themselves.

Almost everything I read seems to preface every statement with "due to inaccurate or due to gaps in reporting or...." and then continues to argue their case, whatever their case may be on the very thing they admit or have reason to believe is inaccurate. 

 

My eye witness didn't actually see this guy kill this other fella but base on this eye witness testimony he did it. 

Or didn't do it depending on which turn is expected.

 

This whole thing is like a murder trial without a body. 

 

It seems unlikely to me that a society that can track down a mad cow to the the very stall in was born in anywhere in the

world  is unable to decide the cause of death of a COVID-19 patient. 

 

I heard in a pod cast this or that. This is now proof of anything? I heard it in a pod cast? 

 

Better! Claiming the CDC numbers are wrong......until those numbers support an argument then there good to go.

 

My favorite is the best minds in the world haven't got a handle on this but a few guys in a forum do.

 

Are we missing the obvious? If the best minds have no agreement then there isn't any actual knowledge.

No one has anything 'figured out'

 

All this is just noise

Although new in it's execution, this is still a virus and it's probably safe to say a person will get it through smell or touch.  Contrary to your message, everyone has it figured it out.  Mask, distance, and hand washing.

 

Basic concept for a virus as told to me from someone born in the 1930s.  Wasn't a whole lot of medicine back then; castor oil, goody's powder, chicken noodle soup, wash your hands, cover your mouth, stay in your room, and get plenty of rest.  I was back playing street football in short order.

I visit older than me outside. My grandkids visit me outside. I still go out to eat. Face cover, hand sanitizer, check. Precautions taken. The younger less patient take more chances and are less likely to die. I look at them as warriors for herd immunity. I don’t go around them. I don’t go where they go naturally anytime. Bug or not. Like a cold I figure more likely than not I’ll get it. There’re many things out there that can kill me. I don’t sit around and shake in fear about it. I take precautions. Hopefully if or when they’ll be mitigated medications for it. A cure? I doubt it. Mutations will probably take care of that. The malaria drug is front and center as a mitigator if taken early, imagine that.

That's been disproven.

The studies were bs and thrown out stating it was ineffective. Now they’re saying hydrochloroquin helps last I read.

I’ve asked my doctor if I get the bug can I take the drug. He reply was yes. It’s nice to live in a state that political bias doesn’t effect medical care.

HCQ in conjunction with zinc is what kills the virus.  Hydroxychloroquine opens up the cell and allows the zinc to enter which does the killing.  Put it another way, HCQ is the gun and zinc is the bullet.

 

HCQ by itself does little or nothing.  HCQ with Azithromycin (Z-Pack) or Doxycycline does little or nothing.  You gotta have the zinc.

 

And high dosages are not required either.  Standard zinc pills that you buy at Walmart is all that's needed.  Standard Z-Pack and those 200 milligram pills of Plaquenil that that cost about  a dime each.  The entire 5-day regimine costs less than $20.

 

The VA Study and others basically killed their patients by administering lethal doses in their studies with no background as to why the dosages needed to be so high.  Don't hold your breath on criminal charges against those cretins.

I generally find family doctors to be apolitical with matters pertaining to my health.  I also find they are generally willing to write a prescription upon request for a specific drug if I feel one is needed.  As long as he/she sees no harm, such as conflicts with other medication, my requests are supported. (As an aside, I ask these questions in an effort to minimize the use of drugs.  I will not take a drug that is unproven or I suspect is prescribed on the basis of it "won't hurt.")  I believe the "malaria drug" was/is highly politicized and you know I try to avoid the political banter. However, I am curious as to what your doctor said about the actual efficacy of this drug in treating this particular virus.

I take zinc every day. I’ve taken the malaria drug when going over seas. I suspect lots of doctors take the combo as a preventative. Some have said as much.

    • Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.    
    • I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. 
    • No one will care for you like you care for you. Do what you can for as long as you can. IMHO of course.

    • Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
