Mexican beer flu. Heard that yesterday.
I am a manager for Belcan. We do a bunch of the design/drafting stuff for GE. Take a look at your Leap drawings sometime. Probably see my name under "issued"Quote:

Same here, but the set time buttons wore out on mine and I couldn't set the time anymore.Quote:

The 2nd and biggest improvement is a slide lock on the side that prevents the set time buttons from adjusting the time. You (or kids) can't accidentally hit them and change the time that way.
Nice, I need a lock on the volume, my 5 year old likes to randomly jack with the volume wheel and make have a panic attack some mornings...Quote:

Only 3,426 died in china and the infection rate is going down. 2.666 die from car accidents every month... WTF

Swine flu
"The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, there were 60.8 million cases, 274,000 hospitalizations, and 12,469 deaths (0.02% case fatality rate) in the United States due to the virus"
My kids are worried about me, so i am kind of staying home. exceptc for my daughters wedding and my b'day
i am 73 with resperitory problems. but life goes on..
A lot of GE people on here.. Retied from testing
Steve
Glad you are trying to stay home and let this all blow over.
Im stuck in my house sick as a dog. Not sure what I have but its got me down and this is the 2nd time Ive had it in the last 2 months. Working with people from out of the state and country doesn't help... Hopefully its just a common cold and I get over this crap quick.
It does suck that they are putting so much into it. Im just curious if they don't know more than they let on. Ill do whatever they say in order to get it all done and in the past. There will be stories of this told for years to come.
Everyone just stay safe.
I hear you Steve. That Mary Acton winch is way over playing her hand up in Columbus and Dewine is buying into every bit of it IMHO. There's common sense and then there is extremist whacko and this is on the edge of extremist whacko.Quote:

Granted we need to use commonsense about this outbreak but it is NOT A DAMN PLAGUE PANDEMIC.
And what about the recovery numbers? Why is it when we see the Johns Hopkins global data chart on this virus the US shows no recovery data at all even though we hear from and read about recoveries taking place? Every other country is providing recovery data but the US. I'm no conspiracy nut but this sure dose seem to be a situation where someone or some group seeks to want to make the outlook as bleak for the USA for as long as they possibly can. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
I have been seeing low recovery numbers provided for the US. In the next week, we will see all groups of numbers rise by a lot I think. They aren't testing everyone either. The case numbers are way off if this is true.
ncov2019.live/data shows 1% recovered now with 29 recoveries. Im sure testing is still out. 25,522 cases, 301 deaths, and 29 recovered.
Infection202.com shows 26766, 341 deaths, and 176 recovered for the US.
Here is what I fear from this, Next time it will be easier to control the people. Look what we did last time we saved a zillion people. Rah ! Rah!
They will be even more restrictive.

"Banning the Sale of Firearms and Ammunition Because of Wuhan Virus? An Illinois Mayor Just Signed an Executive Order to Do It"
Warning rant..... off subject, while doing a search I came across this.
Here is our turn coat Governor.

"When asked about Ohio’s gun laws and criminal justice reform, DeWine noted legislation he introduced to the Ohio General Assembly on Oct. 7, 2019, in the days following the mass shooting in Dayton. Sponsored by state Sen. Matt Dolan, R-Chagrin Falls, the STRONG Ohio bill would, if passed as written, require more thorough background checks for people seeking to purchase a gun in the state, implement a new system of background checks, and increase penalties for criminal acts committed while using a firearm and more."
I spoke to Mr. Dolan last fall, very serious stuff.. Red Flag Bill, Veterans watch out. See 3 different mental heath officials and your gun rights could be in danger. I didn't serve but, veterans I know said it can sometime take more visits that that to find one someone to help.
Sorry for the rant.. Steve
Agree Steve, global terrorism and mass shootings is old news... need a new threat to crash economies and create reasons for all sorts of new products and laws ....Quote:

Agree Brian, if all the people I think got it including me, these recovery numbers should be orders of magnitude higher at this point.Quote:

Anyone else seen the H.R.5717 bill they proposed on the 10th? Everyone is worried about their health and here these bastards are.

^^^ Not the least bit surprised Rick. As Rahm Emanuel former Chief of Staff and buddy to Obama said, "Don't waste a crisis.". This is typical of Liberal Socialist Power Elites to take advantage of a situation like this in hopes to push something or sneak something through though I am certain it would be VETOED by the President and would never achieve 2/3 from the Senate to override the Veto. While it would pass the House (controlled by Liberal Trolls) I see it never getting any further.
Don't misread my statement as taking this lightly. I know these yogurt eating hippy love child freaks from the Woodstock era on the left would do do anything to disband the US so they could move one step closer to being socialistic elite dictators. I'm just trying to provide some assurance as well that Trump would never let this pass.
Always good to write Congress and Senators when items like this pop up however just so that they are aware that there is still a majority of people who believe in being able to defend themselves through means aside from rocks and baseball bats.
Hope everyone is still holding up well since we are locked down.
Im pretty sure most of us are classified as "essential" anyways.
Doing fine so far. I was thinking this morning about Italy for a minute. It dawned on me that Vatican City is within that country. That got me to wondering why the pope hadn't waved his scepter over the country and healed them all yet......
