COVID-19
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

COVID-19
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

COVID-19
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!

I would consider any lsd, even a VSLD a bargain at those prices but you need the halfshafts for the diff. the VSL diff have a unique halfshaft

COVID-19
How long did this one get to spread before anyone took any action? I have read of cases as early as October 2019. They threatened the doctor who tried to sound the alarm early on. Now he's dead and they just apologized to his widow. Lot's of good that does!

I stocked up on painting supplies, so if I get stuck at home maybe I can make some real progress on the car Did you know that congress and their staffs are exempt from the insider trading laws?

I would have thought the 88 turbo would have had limited slip. Possibly the VSLD if it were a Shiro

I have the same logic. Which makes me wonder, what don't I know. It's why I reserve my decision on whether all the forced closures are worth it or not Look at Korea & Japan. That is one reason why they have done as well with the virus as they have @240260280 I read an article recently about crematoriums. In it the owner was talking about how much capacity he had with each unit. I did some back calculations based on Wuhans 3 crematoriums working 24/7 and 5 units each and the numbers were really serious. That doesn't include the portable capacity they brought in and the fact they were not worried about the PC aspects of no smell or ash discharge that require longer cremation times. I suspect your 60k is pretty close or even low. It wouldn't surprise me if they had 100k dead. I suspect, international governments are making decisions based on information we lack. such as the true death toll and total infections. That is why they are choosing to shut everything down

COVID-19
This is exactly right. Society, atleast society in the US, is not nearly as polite as it was 5 or 10 years ago, and scared and or hungry people are very unpredictable. There are a surprising number of people who realize this and that there is a limited amount of food in the grocery store. I believe that is the main reason for people stocking up. The government isn't going to give any notice if they institute interstate travel bans or shelter in place orders. So many people don't really keep much food at home because a great many of them eat out a lot. If you think you might be stuck at home tomorrow for 2 weeks, you might like to have some food. Easy food too, if you might not be feeling great. It's just logical... It's actually refreshing to see that there are still some logical people in this country.

COVID-19
I have been watching the John Hopkins site for 3-4 weeks now S Korea pushed very hard from the very beginning to mitigate transmission and they have a very high percentage of hospital beds versus population. Also the death rates spike when the medical system gets overwhelmed like in Italy and Iran. That's when it gets ugly. That is the reason for all the current closings, to slow transmission to a manageable level.

Your junk yard has a lot of cars laying around. If you find 300zx with the possible LSD, check it! It should have a finned cover and both wheels will turn in the same direction. Always buy the half shafts with the diff! I have 2 here that I bought a decade or so ago out of Florida

I know very little about the 3 speeds but I would definitely looking at the solenoids. Isn't there an FSM for the 3 speed somewhere?
