What difference does China make right now?  We need to be worried about saving American lives not pointing fingers at China.
 
By mid-January we had it in this country.  It took two months from there before Trump took it seriously.  Our own American leadership is failing us when we need it most and you're worried about CHINA?  Please.  We need to stop trying to save face ourselves first.  Be part of the solution.

He took it seriously far sooner than anyone else. Much to the abuse of the media and the left. Make no mistake China new how bad it was. They disappeared several of their doctors trying to warn the world about it.

Exactly!  Don't turn the comment into something like that please.

California has a ton of folks and I understand being cautious, but we have and idea where the problems areas are and where they are going to be.  As a taxpayer in the state, I am not opposed to sending an overage of equipment and personnel to other areas of the country to help out.  We do this a lot in the state, fire fighting comes to mind.

New York Governor says "near or at the peak". Question Peak of what? New cases, deaths? 30K new cases just yesterday.  814 deaths yesterday! 

 

New York State 122,031 cases, 4,159 dead, 10,478 recovered. ((4,159 + 10,478) / 122,031)) * 100 = 12% of the current cases have a final resolution. 

 

((4,159 / 122,031) / 122,031)) * 100 = 3.4 MR. Just a few days ago this was just under 2%. A week ago under 1.2%. 

 

What is not being understood is that as the resolution rate increases so does the mortality rate. There are only two resolutions. Life or Death. 

 

Italy has the highest resolution rate of anyone whose numbers any MIGHT trust. A hair over 29%. A long way to go yet. They have currently 15,362 dead. Current mortality rate 12.3% and it has been climbing week over week even though new cases have been on the decline since 3/20/2020. They still have 88,274 person sick. Around 4,000 considered serious. 

 

New York State has 2.5 times as many case as Italy and 1/3 the population. 60.48M v 19.54M. Read that back real slow then look at that Italian MR again. Look at the resolution numbers again. Go to The US COVID-19 Atlas and find New York State. As of 4/3/2020 they had 55,180 beds and 107,394 open cases. Yes not all need a bed and even fewer a vent. China just donated 1,100 vents to NYC. 

 

So what PEAK is the Governor talking about? 

 

Seems we have no shortage of people ignoring "Shelter in Place" orders. Some people just have to pee on the electric fence for themselves. Unbelievable part now is that this self indulgent action is forcing others to pee on the fence with them.

Surgeon General described the next few days as a 9/11 or Pearl Harbor event.  Not  a good comparison to me, but the difference is during those events the country was speaking and acting with one voice.  Not the case right now, each state for themselves.  If your state was late to the party...

I think he’s going by discharge rates versus intake rates. Seems it gets lost in all of this is the goal from the beginning. That was slow the rate so the hospitals could handle the sick. I don’t think anyone really believed that most people would avoid getting this bug. Maybe people now have been made aware that with this bug and other seasonal bugs. Better hygiene and awareness can save the lives of the weak among us.

I love how you find a cut and edited version from The Guardian. Yeah, they are super trust worthy. I just looked and I can’t even find 1 clip on you tube with Nancy Pelosi and other left media sources telling everybody not to worry. Oh, cause you tube won’t keep that kind of stuff up on there site cause they are lefty hippy crits. Nobody knew what was coming because we haven’t dealt with this before. Everyone’s wrong and everyone will see. The only facts are, this virus came from China, they hid it, the WHO is covering up for China and the most important fact is 700,000 jobless claims and rising. In a couple weeks when the money from the government checks is spent, your gonna start seeing the real issues when you can’t even go down the street without being robbed because of all the desperate hungry people. So keep your dirty politics for Facebook.

Sure, sure "there are fine people on both sides".  But there's only one guy in charge and it matters what he says the most.

 

It's not dirty politics, it's the responsibility of the position.  Take it or leave it.

Yes they did.  Valuable time allowing for proactive measures was lost.

Obviously it’s not up to Trump. If it was, there would be no shut down of anything. He would have let it run its course. The amount of dead people won’t equal what this has done to our economy. Besides, most people that are dying from this were gonna die soon anyways. Most people getting this are recovered or are recovering now.

    • 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. 
    • How about them NICKS!!! 
    • 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
