So its not everyone. Morons seem to love Chevys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No truck guys? I thought about making a joke saying the economy would be better if we outsourced manufacturing like that to China. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timeline in my workplace (which coincides with the suggestions from Gov Dewine in Ohio - who was ahead of most states) went like this: March 2: recognized the threat of the virus for the first time, and sent a memo to management March 10: sent a memo to the whole company recognizing the threat, and suggested ways to avoid getting it (hygiene type items) March 11: sent a memo to management advising that employees could work from home, if they ask March 13: sent a memo to the whole company saying that people could work from home, if they wanted, but the office wasn't closing March 15 (Sun): recommended that everyone should work from home, essential personnel in the building only So for us, it's been 9-11 days of working from home. And i think that's fairly typical based on the numerous emails i've received my clients as well as vendors. That being said, i do recognize that the mean incubation time is around 5 days. From that respect, it's troubling that we're still accelerating. But i'm not ready to throw in the towel quite yet on these restrictions working. There are all sorts of examples out there of people ignoring them. At some point we'll hit that inflection point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are all sorts of examples out there of people ignoring them. At some point we'll hit that inflection point. Keep in mind that so far, there has been a lag between onset of symptoms and diagnosis, so the lag on case data may be more in the 7-9 day range. Need for ICU care appears to be about 11 days after onset of symptoms - over two weeks after transmission - so there will continue to be bad news for a while even if the interventions are working like we think they do. The hard part is to keep the faith while we work through the time lag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apr 10, 2019 Ford is recalling 327,000 F-Series pickup trucks in North America for a second time to fix problems with engine block heater cables ... that can cause electrical shorts and fires. About 327,000 owners took trucks to dealers for the fix, but the inspection may have inadvertently damaged the cables. 2 whiffs for one electrical problem, they seem well-suited for this rush job building life-saving medical devices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
