Cities and counties have to contact employers and have them identify those least vulnerable.  When the test is available, those employees need to report to the testing location.  If they pass the test, they go back to work.  Hopefully that will be enough people to keep a business going until the most vulnerable are able to support.

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 picked up what the Doc calls an 'intention tremor' about 15 years ago. Had to learn to write off handed. It isn't pretty. But I type real fast :)

I can't even do that. Fine motor skills, zip. On a good day I can still solder  The larger the object the better the control. Can still handle a stinger, a fishing rod an the TV remote. Fact is a bit of shake helps my welding.

Their worse than children Stan. Yesterday a reporter puts Trumps feet to the fire and not even well I might add and today he tosses the WHO under the buss? Governors band against him??? How did Phoenix running out of food not get the lead?? NYC post some 3K more 'unreported' deaths, untested deaths on the Covid-19 list without conformation??? Did I hear that wrong? Do you get a prize now for worst in the world? Oh and spike in China cases after taking their foot off the brake gets a 15 second blurb. I think diyer2 was right. Just turn off the noise.

Still a fraud in every respect. Colds dont get on trains and travel from new york or la to dallas; they bloom from airports where dfw is top 4. The active crowd at bars and sporting events catch it after hospital workers and flight attendents. I spent yesterday in the covid ward with the same 3 vents (2 should be extubated) we had a week ago. Put a name on a cold and measure all the 'close to death' people - they will all show that cold before the 59 years of smoking kills them. A covid death is questionable to me in every way now. Dont get me wrong, O2 requirements are increased with covid. But a lot of people need O2 all the time...

It was the second round of the Spanish Flu that did the most damage.

It took 115 days from the first reported case of COVID-19 to reach 1,000,000 confirmations world wide. (likely 30 longer)

It took 12 days to reach 2,000,000 confirmations world wide. 

 

The yellow line is the number of new cases per week. Orange line the total number of cases. 

Oh it's bent, but not flat and still accelerating (lower chart).

As mentioned last week a flat yellow line is only good IF it is below the medical fields ability to effectively treat that number of cases. 

See flattening the curve in the previous post. So progress? Yes! Best case? Best case is a return to zero. Good case is the yellow line heading downward.   

 

image.png.59da48f9c566e634ded134b5991e7781.png

 

This is the acceleration curve. Lower, yes, but still positive. 3,802 more cases per day / per week this week. (USA) 

 

image.png.ef04c3d9327cb633c2aebe64a642561b.png

 

The world chart is actually flatter however the acceleration rate has DOUBLED over this past week. 

Up from 4,708 cases per day / per week to 10,375 per day / per week. 

 

Just information. NOT an opinion.

Did you know that as of today exactly 1/3 of all confirmed cases in the USA are in the state of New York?

Did you know that 43% of all COVID-19 deaths in the USA are in the state of New York? 

Did you know that 51% of all 'serious' cases in the USA are in the state of New York?

 

Did you know that 54.5% of all New York State cases are in the county of New York?

Did you know that 73.5% of all COVID-19 fatalities for the state of New York are in the county of New York?

Did you know that the current mortality rate in New York County is 6.68%? 

 

Did you know there are 6,898 dead in just that county.

Did you know that 29% of all COVID-19 deaths come from a single county. New York.  

 

Did you know that only 6.33% of the population in the county of New York are confirmed infected? 

Now imagine these numbers with an unabated 60-70% infection rate.

Just give it a thought.

 

Shelter in Place works.  

Wow.  I want to go see New York!

Through my scanning of the headlines and news. I have a lot of news apps on my phone. What seems to be the big news now is immunity and life of the bug on surfaces. There seems to be no real alignment on immunity. The flu seems to have a 4-6 month life. Then we get a different mutation every year. That’s why the shot is only 19-40 percent effective. It a best guess shot. We lose 19-60K lives a year. Our (experts) now that we’ve been properly scared into isolation. Are going to have to figure out a way to assure us that this is a new normal and expect to lose people to this like other threats to our health and life. What I want to know being an at risk person. Will this and the flu combine? Will it fall into the 19-60K death range? Or will it be an additional death range from now on? Look at it this way. If they started around December putting up the flu numbers how would we react? Same difference right? I got an email from my favorite casino. There’re pulling slot machines for more spacing. I can imagine hand sanitizer stations through out. Table games? Every thing is going to be set up that way. Restaurants etc. Life is going to become very expensive. Cost for everything is going to go up. Then the big question. Was this all really necessary? I haven’t made my mind up yet. It really to soon to tell. I do remain skeptical. Just what is acceptable risk?

      Slate Electric Truck

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.

      Not what I said but I can work with it anyway. Complete combustion produces CO2 and H20. When it's cold enough you can 'see' it as water vapor but it is always there and more so the better the tune up. It's physics, not an argument. In a cold motor when the cylinder jacket is below the condensation temperature the water goes to the pan and not the PCV system. Heating the oil moves it from liquid to vapor where it is removed by the PCV system. When and how much depends on temperatures. Of the air, the water and so on. It has little to with the humidity. Water is a combustion product.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!
