This is more just bizarreness. Just read it. It's "real". In case it gets deleted. Looks like he's already modified it to sound more sane.

More "not sure who to believe" info. Dr. Fauci has been emphasizing hand-washing, to avoid picking up and depositing the virus on surfaces, where it can be transferred to others. But, the CDC is emphasizing aerosol transfer. Droplets from coughing or sneezing. The CDC actually downplays the surface transfer possibility, pretty hard. Almost saying that washing your hands is a waste of time. A person would have to believe that all of these infected people have been coughed on. Hard to imagine that that would be the case. Fauci is NIH and a known expert. Not sure where the CDC info comes from. More confusion. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/how-covid-spreads.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fprepare%2Ftransmission.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Fauci

Transmission Crossmember bushings
Overkill on the grease. It's just the transmission mount. Doesn't move much. He talks about pressing out the bushing but he's really tearing out the rubber, tearing the bushing apart. Leaving the outer sleeve behind. If he torched it he could probably pull it out with pair of pliers. Like he did with the mustache bar at 7:00. Good video though. Oops. Apologies if that is you. Just my opinion. Better too much grease than not enough.

At least 1367 deaths in the US. I stopped when I got to the 6's. Don't know why Johns Hopkins breaks the US number out by state and county, instead of adding them up. We're still beating the UK but they are coming on strong.

I just read an article about people trying to fill the leadership vacuum by creating guidelines for local organizations, to use while they wait for higher guidance. Might be helpful for those not close to a big city. https://covidlocal.org/ https://www.covid-local.org/contributors.html

The UK looks like it is following the same path as the US for the same basic reason. Even the hair is similar. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/mar/28/boris-johnson-coronavirus-outbreak-will-get-worse

Those are good points. I think that it is all of the above. Wikipedia... p.s. lipid is a type of "fat". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus "The viral envelope consists of a lipid bilayer where the membrane (M), envelope (E) and spike (S) structural proteins are anchored.[15] " "Inside the envelope, there is the nucleocapsid, which is formed from multiple copies of the nucleocapsid (N) protein, which are bound to the positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome in a continuous beads-on-a-string type conformation.[13][16] The lipid bilayer envelope, membrane proteins, and nucleocapsid protect the virus when it is outside the host cell.[17]"

It looks right. I don't want to badmouth zcardepot. But, no business can be assumed to be perfect. If he found a pile of NOS parts that's great. https://forums.hybridz.org/topic/131360-rear-disk-kit-from-zcar-depot-anyone-using-it/?tab=comments#comment-1219981

Trump is talking, right now, about a quarantine of the New York area. Things could get really weird and dangerous. Maybe that civil war is coming after all. If you know that you're about to get locked in, what's your first impulse. Run!

New Product Idea. Distributor Timing Plate Re-Design
You should show it on a distributor. Many might not be familiar with how easy it is to swap that plate. It's just a single screw, isn't it? Do you have to remove the collar at the bottom of the shaft? Can't remember. The roll pin is a pain. Edit - it fits on the bottom of the body so the collar won't have to come off. One screw.

Some deep reading. Just saw this guy on TV. He's from the Naval War College. And, five-time Jeopardy champion. I use Wikipedia for general info about sources. Sorry. It is what it is. Not pretty, seems political. But the guy should have the best inside view. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Nichols_(academic)

There is enough data being generated that people are starting to estimate outcomes from the COVID-19 virus. It doesn't look like society is going to collapse due to the virus, although the economic damage is another story. The University of Washington is a university of good reputation. They estimate 81,000 deaths, best case. I've added the annual common flu death numbers for comparison., from the CDC site. The worst flu seasons are in the low 60,000's, high ends of the estimates. I did not dig in to the details of how they derived these numbers. Just trusting the institutions. https://komonews.com/news/coronavirus/uw-study-estimates-81000-us-deaths-from-coronavirus-1429-in-wash-state https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html And here's the UW web site - http://www.healthdata.org/ And the paper the news article came from - http://www.healthdata.org/news-release/new-covid-19-forecasts-us-hospitals-could-be-overwhelmed-second-week-april-demand-icu

How many homes have walls that will stop a bullet? I doubt that people are really thinking through what urban combat would be like, with their family in the home. If they don''t have a home like that couple in Tremors, forget about it. Reba could handle a gun though.

I wonder how many of these people actually know how to use a gun? NRA wants gun shops to be deemed "essential" so that they can stay open. https://apnews.com/c134e74f8813297d139b1d217a48c932

Forgot that you had posted that. It will be doubly bad without condoms available. Another briefing coming up soon. Not going to comment anymore. Apparently Trump will be introducing his county classification system. Risk factor based.
