    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...
  5. 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...

    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!

    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

    Thanks for the response

    If they have an LSD car it might be worth all the hassles, even the horse manure!

    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
