When the all of the championship series' end their calendar year in November, times get slow for track support but electronic equipment sales for the upcoming year always pulled us through until the following season started up again with the IMSA 24 hour test in Daytona the first week of January. Covid-19 has changed my perception on preparing for a "rainy day". I had never considered the fact that my source of income could be stopped dead in its tracks by a worldwide shutdown for months. Since my last event March 6th in COTA, I have worked 3 days at a test just a couple of weeks ago and I do not have another event scheduled until the end of June. That is 3 months of no income other than my wife's weekly pay from Target. We only received our stimulus check this week. What a wonderful time for teams to have 3 months to go through all the cars mechanical and electronic systems. Yeah, NO. Everyone I know is clamped down on spending and watching each and every dollar. Even my clients with millions to spend on motorsports have taken a wood shed beating in the stock market.

Now, if we don't get things moving again, and quickly. We could have another plummet and see it fall off a cliff again. That's why I got out with my small money. Figured it was better in the bank as I don't see another recovery check coming from Washington. Unemployment is great, if it ever gets to those who need it like Andrew. Texas must be doing a better job processing unemployment claims as both my sister and her husband are making more money not working than before. But for people like my wife and I, we don't qualify. So the recovery money was a welcome case of giving money to everyone who pays into the system rather than just business/corporate bailouts. We wouldn't mind another round of that. In any case, I hope everyone is able to get back to doing the work they have chosen to support their families. Humans are creatures of habit and I think we are happiest when we have a sense of normalcy and things we can depend on. Namely, ourselves.

The regular UI is getting paid in WI including the $600 which is infuriating for us self un employed. I have like 5-10x the average person's patience and it's starting to strain my patience. Wife on the other hand doesn't believe it's coming.
She had to wait about NINE months for her replacement green card it drive her nuts the entire time. We check every day the status exceeding that like all gvt crap rather than good to go, we will get feedback that we need to submit more forms.

The 6 ft. distance came from historical measurements of normal non virus travel of saliva from talking, yelling, coughing and sneezing. It is probably based on the worst case of those criteria and some add on to be safe because there is no way to know which one will happen. I agree that those that die reduce the number that will be infected. However, depending on how many people 1 person infects deaths that might not make much difference. If one person infects only 1 person there is a direct correlation but if one person infects two or more the number of infections will continue to grow and so will deaths The more people one person infects the faster the rate of infection, the higher point the curve will reach and the longer it will can take to get to infections to a level that can be controlled. IMO, the best way to eliminate an economic impact, minimal safety measures and individual hardships is if we have an early warning system (supposed to be WHO and CDC) and we quickly stop all travel in and out of the county, immediately implement broad based testing and contact tracing and quarantining in large cities that are primary ports of entry for international travelers and protect or stop at least the large gathering places like stadiums and known high risk enclosures like nursing homes and prisons. Also, get our scientist on the ground in infected countries to help minimize the level of infection and doing the best that can be done to stop the virus spread to other areas and countries. Preventative maintenance.Troubleshoot, Diagnose, Overnight any parts not on hand---fix it right the first time.

NYC definitely got hit the hardest and I wouldn't be surprised if they got above 20-40% utilization. I recall a mass panic about needing 10,000 ventilators then having thousands in storage they ended up shipping elsewhere.
If cv ends up permanent, hospitals will have a CV wing complete with negative air pressure rooms. There are ways to transport people if beds run out and NYC built a field hospital to alleviate the burden. I think the field hospital treated like 1000 patients. With the field hospitals we way overshot but it did show it's possible to get some over flow bed capacity. I'm ok with the initial shut down and the masks and such, abundance of caution but like I said the exponential rise stopped mid April and now it's end of May

Hindsight is always 20/20, but when asked by a reporter if he would have done anything differently, our leader replied with No. We had scientists and researchers in China but our leader cut the budget for CDC, and NIH. He stated that he was a "Business" man and didn't like all these people in the budget. I know there are plenty of people that don't agree with this, but this is America, and we can agree to disagree.

Do you have reference for the who test kits I'm interested in following up on that. Also I read that China kicked out our scientists that were tapped into the Wuhan lab before the shit hit the fan so there would be no connection between our CDC/NIH and the catastrophe that unfolded. Not saying we weren't less prepared just saying it has very little bearing on how the USA got infected.
It didn't matter at all who was at the helm for many reasons and was certainly not a cause of the problem. Like I've said, by the time we knew it was here it was FAR too late. We would have had to stop travel from China before Christmas. It would not have made much of a difference in the outcome had we had functional tests as the sick people were getting treated as if they had a flu etc they just didn't know it was cv. There is still an incredible enigma to this thing: 2/3 of new cases in NYC from people who supposedly are in self quarantine that needs to be investigated especially as CDC just announced the Wuhan virus doesn't really spread via hard surfaces. Basically the summary of that is quarantine didn't help at all in NYC and probably made it worse. There was a case when a virus spread through building's plumbing I think in China I thought but could have been a different country. Is this happening with cv19? As I said before trying to pin the blame on our leaders is a very incorrect assessment. It's ok to have that opinion I'm saying point blank you are simply wrong. The beauty is it's perfectly ok for you to think I'm wrong and share the opinion. This forum not run by Google so we won't likely be scrubbed for sharing our thoughts. Not exactly sure when or why Google decided the first amendment only counts when it goes their way. If you have some facts to back up how you arrived at your conclusion compared to the 1000 pages or so I've researched to arrive at mine please share. Facts can change my result if I missed something. Another thought to share: why the HELL is everybody calling cv19 only coronavirus. Coronavirus is a CLASS of virus probably 1000s of them. When the Ford explorer had a recall due to stupidly high Cg combined with shitty tires they underinflated to make up for their shittyness, they referred to the problem as the EXPLORER not THE FORD. Yes it's that stupid. So imagine today there was a recall on the X5 but every "news" article on it says there is a recall on THE BMW. It's important people are dying by the thousands so be careful out there and wear a mask so THE BMW won't kill you. Sounds pretty stupid correct. Every time says coronavirus instead of covid-19 it's exactly as ignorant. Pay attention in the "news" you can maybe filter out some non news feeds using as a condition. If they ever say coronavirus, block that feed they are morons.

How the USA got infected was mostly and I state mostly from travelers from EUROPE. They have genome people with the virus and there are various studies by various group of scientists and researchers that the virus was from EUROPE. The virus may have originated originally from CHINA to Europe but the virus is from EUROPE. When did the USA stop travel between Europe? Who was the person telling the American public that th virus was another Democrat HOAX? Who was the person telling the American public that there are only 15 cases and it will go away miraculously? So if they don't use the term Covid-19 they are moron? Didn't Trump cross out the term Covid-19 or coronavirus and replace it with China Virus on a speech he gave that his speech writer wrote for him? (you can Google that also). You were wrong about this thread: https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...giving-up.html I was the only one that was right about this thread: https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...5-misfire.html

These are all on record. His ineptitude in this crisis is not in dispute. Even with the covid-19 crisis the re-election is still his to lose. All he had to do was get out of himself and let the experts handle it. But no, he had to show hes in charge, and he had to make it much worse than it had any reason to be.
