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’m proud of NY GOV Cuomo. He’s being realistic. And he’s a liberal. There’s hope.

Liberals have pretty much put the final nails in the coffin for USA.  Bastardized the generations into spineless SHEEP!  Good luck everybody....we're gonna need it for the next 100years!

Mortality rate of 1:100 for 500 million people is 5 million. Comparison is non sequitur....a century ago there was no medical knowledge database medical equipment or sophisticated test methodology,  no penicillin or antibiotics, the concepts of sterilization and disinfection was in its infancy, clean water was not available worldwide and medical treatment was at the level where doctors would burn a sulfur pot and open a patients veins to bleed them to remove the "poisons" in the blood and hasten their demise, other places they'd use chants and shake rattles.

Ops, couple of decimal off. OMG I made a mistake. :) 10 in 100. Yep that's worse. You do know that antibiotics are ineffective against viruses I'm sure. 

 

My Grandfather (maternal) was in the service in 1919. They stacked bodies like cord wood where he was stationed. He was one of those bodies on the stack. Month of November. About 30 minutes later he walks back in the barracks fevered out of his mind butt naked asking where his clothes were. Nurses dropped. He stuck around till 1957.

Hopefully our grandchildren can look back at this Covid 19 event and see it as an example of when the world worked together to eradicate  a global problem.  I'm glad Karnut started this thread and hopefully all of us will  shake any conspiracy theories and get on board to help beat this pandemic.

So far over 50 years old effective the most. Most deaths in one nursing home. We’ll probably find out later that many had it and didn’t realize. There was nothing like this reaction with the swine flue. 1000 deaths before an emergency declaration. Very little coverage with 300K in hospitals many millions affected and 16K deaths. Nothing near the panic now. Obama was praise for his handling of the crisis. Just stating facts. Viruses like these are like water, they managed to seek their level. Is this way better than the last. Time will tell. North America people hate being restricted. Eventually will weigh the odds. My fear like hurricanes too much caution will lead to distrust and inattentive action next time. Watch the elderly and be safe.

I noticed something weird last year, probably the most people I have ever heard, had pneumonia, would be interested to see numbers on that, and I heard about, a lot about kids having to have their tonsils/adenoids removed.

One of the biggest surprises is how little groceries people keep on hand. There’s 3 know cases in my area, stores are empty. I can go months if I had to. One extra thing a week is all it takes. So there’s a pandemic let’s all go to the store. Stupid people. They really think they can slow this down? They’ll find out later it’s already wide spread and it just effects certain people. Just like any old flu. I can recall countless times me or my wife got bad flu symptoms and the other had no effects. It pretty much happens every time. It’s rare we have the same effects. The dems and the media are fueling this I suspect. Just compare with the swine flu and responses of.

They tell us to keep our distance from one another but yet all these people will pack like sardines into a grocery store touching and breathing on everything around.

Seriously, though: How many rolls of toilet paper can you fit in the bed of your truck?

Couple was tracked down in Vancouver Canada. They bought up all the Lysol wipes an TP at Costco's in the area and are now selling them for big profit. Some people are real aholes in situations like this. Also though you have to ask yourself, why did Costco sell them this much product. Story says they bought over $100,000 worth of product.

Some people though are being totally irresponsible. I have friends and relatives that just went on there merry way to Mexico. IMO they should be locked up for the 14 day isolation when they come home. That is if they can come home. That would be my fear is that they totally close the boarders and you can't get home.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
