They have been talking locally about the numbers count in Ca for a few days now, the count has been frozen until they can get it right.

 

As for the checkpoints in NYC, we mentioned this a number of pages back.  If this checkpoint is on a road or major highway, this will be very manpower intensive if a 24/7 operation.  If not 24/7, why do it?

They seem serious despite this forums insistence other. 

Reasoning in bold read below in quoted story

NBC News

NYC sets up quarantine checkpoints as it toughens state travel restrictions

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the city is setting up quarantine checkpoints at “key entry points” along main bridges and tunnels to the city to screen travelers coming from more than 30 states with bad coronavirus outbreaks. The checkpoints, in an effort to ramp up enforcement of the state’s travel advisory, will begin Wednesday.

 

“Travelers coming in from those states will be given information about the quarantine, they will be reminded that it is required, not optional,” de Blasio said at a press briefing. “They’ll be reminded that failure to quarantine is a violation of state law and it comes with serious penalties.” 

 

Dr. Ted Long, head of New York City’s Test and Trace Corps, said that a fifth of all new coronavirus cases in New York City are from travelers. Travelers will be subject to calls, texts and visits while in quarantine, he said. Long said the city will help those quarantining with free food deliveries, help with medications, telehealth services or “even a hotel stay.” — Noah Higgins-Dunn

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

That's roughly 33 "city employees" north and southbound, three shifts, 24/7, one bridge.  If any city can do it, why not NY.  That state took the virus serious in the beginning and is still looking at it the same way.

 

Someone mentioned earlier about crime in the city.  Although this will be manpower intensive, I don't think there will be a change in criminal response.  These are not terrorist or criminal checkpoints. A traffic cop should be available if needed, but if they do it right, any designated  city employee can conduct state verification checks.  DMV employees comes to mind.

There are soo many access points to get into the five boros it’s insane. Even if we are talking about manhattan itself there are small bridges up and down the river. There’s the major bridges and tunnels as well. They are all traffic ridden. If you do this it will be complete grid lock. For example, it took me an hour to go from the Bronx to 72ND street and the east side of manhattan yesterday. That’s just a few miles. Like I said before, you look left or right and all you see are out of state plates. No way. Another disaster. Just par for the course the way this city and state has been run.

Seems to me if New York or any where for that matter had hand sanitizer available and mask requirements this would be pretty much mute. Probably New York should think about keeping their police force around to hand out tickets for non mask compliance. Since they don’t need them for anything else. According to their mayor. For a city that’s doing everything right, according to some. That should be a no brainer. I’ve been around to a few of my usual stumping grounds of late. With the requirements post covid it’ll be pretty hard to get the bug where I’ve been . With the few places open in New York it should be a piece of cake. But of course complaining and pointing fingers is easier.

New toys on Johns Hopkins. Daily deaths retroactive by state, by country. California, Texas, Louisiana and Florida stand out like a sort thumb. Florida is off the hook up 400%? US and World deaths increasing proportional to new cases. Brazil is just at a steady clip of nearly 20% of the worlds daily deaths. USA is worse. 

 

How can that be if all these new USA cases are only a result of more test? (Rhetorical question people)

People. Local and Texas state news reports daily there’s additional testing sites. More test more results, daaa really? The dashboards show trending down, I check twice a day. The US dashboard shows the same. Yes there’re upticks. Probably due to some mailing and other backlogs. Hospitals stays are down as well as deaths. The lack of attaboys keep up the good work is amazing. Maybe the goal is, there’s no use in trying. We’re all gonna die. Amazing. I see compliance daily locally and on trips. Maybe panic is the goal, baffling really.

Everything opposite of covid compliance we have been seeing across the country wrapped into one location, Sturgis.  Crowded bars and campsites, no masks, concerts, touching.  60% of the town residents didn't want the event to happen, city council disagreed.  Didn't matter if 100% of the town disagreed, a town that size is not going to stop that many bikes from rolling through.

 

Could be worse, read the crowd is projected down from 500,000 to 100,000.

Almost like a demonstration. Except they shop in the stores. And contribute to the economy. So if they pass the bug at least they add to the economy instead of destroying it.

I haven't been there since the late 70's. Very different crowd then. No rice allowed. My bike was on the cover of the Dead Wood news paper. I was a different guy then. ?

I resemble that 70's crowd.  The only way you find that bike now is through American Pickers.  Regardless of how you cut it, a single covid non-compliance event throughout the country combined at one location can't end up well.

So you have all these people riding motorcycles together. You know what happens if one falls. I don’t think there’re too worried about getting a bug that the average death if they get it is 75. I can picture a brave reporter asking one about that.

Just imagine we were able to wear mask that worked both ways in germ prevention. We got real diligent in hand sanitation and transfer prevention. Not only with this bug, all of them. I remember not too long ago there was a warning that we were using too much hand sanitizers. Our immunity was weakening. Our bodies are set up to fight bugs. Some don’t make it some do. The flu is an example. We may be making a big mistake. Sweden may have nailed it. We can’t drink the water in a lot of places. The locals can. Food for thought. For the people that don’t think this is political. Look around.

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      By ryan35205 · Posted

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      OCI, not when but why?

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By newdude · Posted

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).
