I only see two paths: 1. A vaccine is made in the next few months and puts everything back to somewhat normal. 2. A few months stoppage of our economic systems will change the world. Most of us will be unemployed with debt AND we will still have this Chinese virus problem. The Govt's have to prepare for #2 and start taking radical actions. The economy will need a reset and jobless people will need income. A first easy step would be to immediately force power companies to reduce charges that match the drop in oil. All the bs fuel surcharges have to be revoked and all corporate greed needs to be reigned in. Energy is a basic requirement for life and an economy and it should not be speculated on or abused by corporate greed. Instead of waiting for the economic avalanche to take place, perhaps a controlled avalanche is needed such as radically forgiving of ALL DEBT. This will cause a lot of pain for some but not for most... yes you will have 0 credit card debt and you will own your home. There are many creative and new tools that can be used in the terrible time IF our govt's act with logic and intelligence.... hopefully this will happen. Bottom line: some of us will die, there will soon be mass unemployment and the world as we knew it will take some time to return. Prepare.

I think they often used whatever they had on hand.... finding a box of old parts or getting a delayed shipment a month after the new parts went into the production run... throw them out or use them? The 260z in NA was the classic hodgepodge car that ended the 240z parts and started the 280z parts.

MBA's call it "Lean" and "Just in Time". The world needs less MBA's. Wiki saw it coming:

I know someone who moved all their investments to no risk holding tools on the Feb 14th and cashed out their stock options on Feb 21st at the peak. They are not a politician. Just say'n ?

This train wreck about to happen was easy to see a month before it happened. Burr just had his eyes open.

We were aware of it mid-January. I had to go to a conference in Hawaii Jan 19-22 and was apprehensive as a lot of Chinese attend it. I brought masks but did not use. I then had to fly to Dallas on Feb 11-14 and wore masks. I remember one guy getting on the plane in Houston who was sweating profusely and demanding drinks of water from the stewardess when boarding! Not sure if he just ran a 4min mile but it was odd for sure. For the start of the virus, in early Jan, when news of the virus was getting out, the Chinese Govt confidently stated it began in early Dec and pointed the finger at a fish market where it was claimed that animals were also sold... but shortly after they said patient 0 was an old man in a hospital who never had connections or went to the market. They said he started it in the first week of Dec..... but a month ago a Brit in Wuhan survived it and he said he got it in late Nov. Recently it was stated that the first patient in Wuhan was November 17. As for the fish market story, locals who worked there said the ones who were infected were people who did not tend to the stalls but rather the regulars who hung out in front on the street and gambled/played card with passers-by. For tracing the early infected, it is easy to do in China as they keep records on everyone and track them just like the Nazi's did (association intended). Digital hospital records, cell phone tracking and face recognition tracking make it easy to track this virus. China knows more than they are saying.... the Wuhan P4 Biolab has not been cleared of association so who knows what will eventually turn up?

Coil turns and Coil effective turns? What is this?

@Carl Beck Thanks for the ammo for teasing my wife (the assistant) and the laughs: Nissan recommends speeding and has made provisions for it:

North Korea has 1 case. Just as believable as anything from China. Italy has their crematoriums burning 24/7. China has done this and also brought in additional portable incinerators to help out... but here are the numbers: China has 1.40B people and 3,200 deaths. Italy has 0.06B people and 2,500 deaths. China probably had >60,000 deaths.

Very little information is getting past China's great internet wall since they started really ramping up the blockade but this Chinese billionaire who defected to the USA has connections and posts daily on you tube. Here are a few insights on what is happening in China for the past 24 hours: btw Miles Guo is a bit eccentric but has the typical single-child "Prince" attitude of so many males from mainland China.

I have some land in Florida I can sell you for a good price.

From Tony D : If it's been missed, remember that in TROPICAL environments the FIRST step is to put a 160F thermostat in there. That drops underhood temperatures SIGNIFICANTLY! I have recorded over 40-50F drop in some cases. Almost everything else after this point seeks to contain heat away from the injector bodies, or remove it from that area... But the FIRST step was to USE THE RIGHT THERMOSTAT FOR THE CONDITIONS PRESENT. The later S30's vented the hood to let heat out. The next step was more heat shielding and the WEBBED INTAKE MANIFOLD. (Along with a vented hood.) The third step was the Fuel Prime (concurrent with the heat shielding and webbed manifold.) The last step was blower fan, on SOME installations, where all prior steps were already taken save for hood venting on Cedrics, Glorias, Leopards, Laurels, etc.... The cars with unvented hoods got fans, some cars with vented hoods got fans (S130) On many of the UNVENTED HOOD applications, a PLASTIC VALVE COVER was used to suppress heat radiation above shielding in the unvented void, and to suppress noise.

Good catch on the use of words! btw The death rate is shrinking in Italy so this is good news ?

The testing in Canada in 1969 revealed what you say ? The rear vents would ice shut. Photo thanks to @kats video!

? I am serious.... you know more than anyone...it deserves respect.

Weird snow last night. At least two windshields did this:

Korea's excellent data shows ~ 1% death rate so 3 dead means ~ 300 with the virus even though the limited testing only tested 13 of the 300.

Alan is the S30 Guru.... probably the most knowledgeable person on the planet.

@HS30-H, @kats

Maybe we should have a "Mr Nasty" sub-forum where the requirement is to be offensive in your post. It would be funny for non-members to stumble across the content while browsing.

Our great leader just fell on his sword in the Wuhan Virus battle. His wife has it and he is in quarantine. In Canada it's all about how you feel... unicorns and rainbows.

Leadership in Canada is BS.... Flights are still coming in from China!!!! Just landed in Toronto moments ago....,,,, we have many airports. But when you have this for a leader:

Vaccine trials start today in USA North West. WOW.

Well spring will be soon so lots of leaves too.

Things that made me go "OH $hit!!!!!" - full hazmat suits goggles and masks worn in China in Jan when this "first started".... when did you ever see these PPE for a new "flu"? China knew this was bad $hit right from the start AND they have the excellent digitized patient records and facial recognition to follow the paths of the early victims (which currently go back into November). - China fumigating streets! What kind of flu virus needs to be cleaned outside? Some serious $hit going down. - China steeling Ebola virus from a Canadian Level 4 lab and sending it to the Wuhan Lab just a year ago.... not an act of good will. What were they doing? - The masses of dead in China and Iran. - People catching it twice in such short time... this is not a flu!!!! - Uncertainty if mankind will ever gain immunity to this virus.
