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

More pointless comparisons:

 

37,000 deaths per year due to Motor Vehicle Accidents in USA - No Shutdown.

88,000 Alcohol related deaths in the USA - No Shutdown, alcohol still legal.

862,000 deaths due to abortion - No Shutdown and still legal.

 

So you wish to discount the argument as it does not serve your PURPOSE. 

 

Hey let's use them all for the USA: (annual)

 

  • Number of deaths: 2,813,503
  • Death rate: 863.8 deaths per 100,000 population
  • Life expectancy: 78.6 years
  • Infant Mortality rate: 5.79 deaths per 1,000 live births

Here's a point. 100% of all humans die. Some things we have a choice in. Some things we do not. Some things we can protect ourselves from, some things not.

 

My point had a specific PURPOSE. In rebuttal of the idea that seasonal flu is worse then 2SARS. Point made.

I hope so!  There's a vaccine for the flu.  We're "naked" with this Wu-Flu.

You know this fells on deaf ears...right?

The shut down. 10,000 point drop in the stock market. 30 million plus job loses. Graduations missed? School days missed? Business closed. Tax revenue lost. Deaths to be determined. Misery to be determined. The loss of the freedom to choose. There’s two sides to this event. The biggest loss, our freedom to choose. Many people die for our freedom. The sad truth is. People could have just stayed home. I’m surprised that people were willing to surrender their choice. Sad.

So, then you've been working full speed ahead, then.  Otherwise, you're one of those "people" you are so surprised at.

No I’m retired. My family business has been as busy as ever. 30 people no one sick. As soon as the restroom are open from Texas to Myrtle beach I’ll be headed there. It will be my first of 4 for this year, like usual . If the casinos are open in Mississippi they will be my first stop, like usual. My about yearly cruise lines are offering a free trip. I may take them up on it. I’ll take precautions. If I get the bug. At least I was free to choose and able to choose to live not just survive.

Pretty sure by now we all know someone who was negatively impacted by this virus.  First and second responders will definitely feel the impact of PTSD and will probably get the care they need, but it's the non-responders that won't have the push to get help.  Losing your job, savings, late on payments, and most of all a family member without seeing it coming will be very traumatic.  One common factor I experienced with everyone I knew with PTSD was trust.  If that person does not have a co-worker, friend, or family member they can be open with and trust, they will shut down and spiral until a coping mechanism is put in place.  I'm not a medical professional, just personal experience with military co-workers.

There is NOTHING I can loose that I can't get back IF I have my life. Dead people can recover NOTHING. 

 

Somebody said the other day we have never had our world shut down. I disagree. Plague shut the word down multiple times with that was the only tool they had to use. Kids!!! Lord. 

 

I'm having trouble with a world that values MONEY over life. Money is an illusion. Life is real. If you think you can't eat without money...WOW. You live in a world where humans are the only creature to rely on money to feed themselves. Give that  half a seconds thought. Look up Ule Gibbons. Then if she were alive I would introduce you to my mother. His female counterpart. If you starve to death in God's world your an idiot.

What's wrong with having no choice but to survive?

A few hundred assembled in Springfield Illinois today to protest the Governors 'Stay at home" extension. A motorcade of a considerable number more circled protesting their stupidity. The Governor said he will defend their right to protest to the end... even when they are wrong. 

 

Illinois is a state that has not yet reached it's peak. Fact is today was the highest confirmed case load to date. Second highest death toll and yet...idiots protest...sue the Governor....act as if their situation is the only one that need be considered. :wtf:

Anyone in that crowd look familiar? Really? You can't see it? 

 

For every hundred braying like mules a hundred thousand are relieved cooler minds prevail. 

 

So what unemployment is close to 29. Your a month into what happened over a decade in the 20's/30's. Get over yourselves.

Right on board with that statement, in no way am I a religious man, but if that is what takes me out, then so be it.

 

I have lived an interesting life to say the least, and am thankful for the time that I have had on this crazy planet, but know that I am just a blip on the radar in the big picture of things.

 

I work for a food manufacturing company, our product is in no way ever an essential part of life, we are the ones who keep this ball a rolling, and just read a very interesting article about Brazil, and how they have treated this whole Pandemic, no matter what we do, there are going to be outside forces that we just can not control.

So let’s all go hunting. OOPs we can’t we’re in isolation. You’re a broken record on this one. You can’t seem to realize isolation can cause just as many deaths as an illness. I know I’m wasting my time. But there’s lots of people coming around to the realization we may have done this all wrong.

People who have trouble with an exchange of ideas usually start the name calling. There’s plenty of places in the world one can go where it appears they all have the same ideas.

If people were just happy to survive. We’d probably still be living in caves. Let’s make a wheel. Naa we don’t need it.

I don't think it's been done all wrong.  The travel bans and lockdowns were necessary when the infection and mortality rates were increasing exponentially.  They should have started easing the restrictions sooner, but that's happening now.  Hindsight Bias is always 20-20.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
