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.

    • Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.          
    • Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.  
    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
