    This is actually pretty well know if you just look around a little bit. This doctor was escorted out of the Canadian lab and all her research assistants. There have been a number of other researchers who have been arrested for being complicit in this. Biowarfare research is what goes on at these level 4 labs among other things. Even at our level 4 labs! The problem comes when you play with fire but don't have a cure, treatment or vaccine and it gets out. Then bad things happen. If you wanted to create a really bad virus weapon, what would you want? Contagiuos, long incubation period while transmissible, deadly, health care intense...? I read a long article the other day about how you can mutate a virus by infecting animals in series until you get the desired mutations. You end up with a much more deadly virus and no engineering markers. Patient zero in China had never been to the wet market or had contact with anyone who did. Pretty hard to catch it from someplace or someone you've never been in contact with...

    You could have dropped a valve seat too. It's pretty rare, but possible. It would make the valve lash wonky depending on how the valve seated against it and it would be pretty noisy. Might not be able to tell that with the camera though.

    I have a little grace for some of our leaders. They have experts around them that give them advise and they have a meeting before they ever go to the podium. There is a consensus established in that meeting that is then repeated at the podium. Being on the outside, it's hard to know if our leaders were getting good advise or not. They are repeating what they are being told from the experts. I read an article a couple of days ago that was reporting on opposing views concerning the virus. The two people who didn't agree were both experts, either virologists or epidemiologist. So even in the scientific community there is not total agreement on the proper course of action. I would also say this has never happened before. There are 1.4 billion people in India that are sheltering at home. Also our societies are much more mobile than during the 1918 pandemic. As I recall too, the Spanish flu didn't have the long incubation times, which makes this virus much harder to track and predict

    I would check the combustion chamber for debris
  8. I hope not!

    I went today and bought the last thing I think I need to stay home and make progress on the Z's paint job. So i should be good to go for a few weeks now. My wife's company has just been declared essential... Good and bad to that: Good: She'll still get a good paycheck Bad: no time off and out and about where she could get exposed

    I don't think I have stated this before, but to all my friends on this forum (Red or Blue), be smart, be kind and be safe. Tell those you love; you love them! Because we're not guaranteed tomorrow...
  11. Wow! Life is a changing!

    There was an interesting article about the cruise lines on Zerohedge the other day. Very enlightening! They are all flagged out of low tax countries to evade US tax law and workers right laws but now they want a US bailout??? Another good reason to not go on a cruise...

    Love the new avatar! I need bigger images too!
  16. I would be interested in at least one set

    The zerohedge article I posted has been updated with a refutation by a virologist I take all of these with a "grain of salt" the good and the bad. Then I try to balance it all out. I think the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Which could still be really bad! Just so many unknowns. One of the guys on my crossbow forum in Ontario, his grand daughter, daughter and wife have it. He is probably an asymptomatic carrier. His daughter is a nurse

    https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/03/lung-fluids-coronavirus/ I have heard about that. Basically you're sick for about 2 weeks. Then all of a sudden the third week hits and you start developing lesions in the lungs and drown. If you survive you can have 30-40% loss of lung function. Also the average ICU stay is 5 days. Many of these patients will be there 3 weeks. Just not enough beds for that

    I myself prepare because I like to be prepared. I carry a leather man, a knife and a flashlight becase I like to be prepared. I worry about the overall impact on others especially people who can't afford to be sitting at home without pay. Even so, I try to be prepared for the benefit of my family and my neighbors...

    I did not read his earlier post and interpret gloating or any other negative intent. It is one of the weaknesses of the forum, there is no emotion in the written word and it is easy to misinterpret the writers intent. I took it more as a musing than gloating

    @Av8ferg I agree and to add to that, what sane person would step up for the abuse that would come your way if you tried to run for public office to clean things up? People digging through your trash, contacting your friends from high school, people making up stories from thin air. What good, moral person would sign up for that? Our political offices were never intended to be careers. Add to that millions in bureaucratic positions for 20-30 years that really run the show and you get what we now have . A huge leviathan!
