  1. Okay I have to have this conversation here because I can't on my social media because I'll butt hurt people that matter. You assholes don't matter. This in no way taking away from any of those medical workers out there on the front lines of this thing or the ones that are willing to do what it take when ever and where ever it takes to combat this thing. But the new catch phrase amongst the medical profession community is "I'm immune compromised" And what they mean by that is they can't work the front lines of this thing because they say they have some kind of auto immune disorder or asthma or what ever. If that's true I understand and have sympathy for those. BUT, now techs, nurses, aids, ect , ect you name it. Are all coming out of the wood work claiming they can't work in the ER or sick floors basically saying they can't work where the Convid-19 patients are because they are "immunely compromised" Now myself and others around me have heard this term passed around for a few weeks now and have up to this point just rolled our eyes and said "fuck it, they don't want to work they don't have to work I guess" and just figured shame on them. An mind you most of the ones(not all) that I'm talking about there is a pretty good chance there is little to nothing wrong with them. They are just saying these things to get out of working the front lines out of nothing more than fear, that pretty much the rest of us share about this whole thing. But now, now it's being taken to a new level. There is word that some of these folks are trying to claim this/that as a medical disability so they can get out of working during this outbreak and still get paid. My over all view of all this is. Maybe if your scared of catching a disease or illness working in the field of medicine maybe you made the wrong career choice? Maybe even the ones that truly are immune compromised choose the wrong career? Assuming that they already knew they had that issue from the start. Now don't get me wrong. I'm sure there are legit cases and scenarios but I more or less speaking of the ones that see this as an excuse or easy way out just because they are scared. We all are. Thoughts? Lettuce discuss.
  2. A lot of it is insurance prices. I've talked to some of the parents of my kids friends and they just said they flat out could not afford it. I is pricey now days i about shit when I added the kids to the plan.
  3. My wife is now officially in the pool of workers to sit at home with full pay and wait till they are needed. She has to be availibale at a moments notice to work at any Ohio Health Facility to do any job they tell her to do. She will get her full 40 hour pay check to sit at home on standby and will get her usual pay when ever called into duty for what ever job she's assigned. And she can't turn any assignment down. So if they call her and say they need someone to clean shitters and take out the trash she has to do it. They are doing this to have a work force on stand by that also will be healthy for when the shit hits the fan. For those that don't know, she is a xray tech that normally does mammograms and is also a licensed STNA from years back. So most likely she would be call upon for something of those lines but she's willing to do what ever they ask. She's a worker not a complainer.
  4. I absolutely loved my Z. Probably the second favorites off all the bikes I've owned, But when the most favorite bike I've ever owned is still sitting in the garage it didn't make sense to to have both. Esspecially when it would free up the funds to buy the mrs. her dream bike.
  5. http://www.supportraven23.com/ That was me half the time taking off on my Z, one of the reasons I decided to sell it. No self control...lol...The Connie will do it too but not with out trying. The Z would just come up with a blip of the wrist.
  6. So another change of mind happened after I left last night. They did call him back and tell him to stay home till him and his wife were cleared.
  7. Nothing to see here other than a 2.5 freaking hour air filter change. And yes the filters take a beating on these beast because of the ram air and where everything is located. That's filter was changed about 18 months or 10k miles ago. Blew it out once in the middle of that time frame.
  8. So this just happened at my work. Coworkers wife called him to tell him she has been exposed and is being sent home for 14 days. My coworker tells our management. Our management sent him home and told the middle management to disinfect his work station. My coworker ask if he was to stay home for 14 days. The answer. No come back to work tomorrow. WTF? We are either going to do this or we are not. Make up your\their fucking minds.
  9. No time for such nonsense. Because I'm......
  10. Check out SRK cycles or bikes and beards youtube channel. He buys one of these and thrashes it. I'll post a link later when i can.
  11. Turned it off before got any real news yesterday. I didn't need arts and crafts and tictok dance videos before I get my needed news updates. Save that shit for after the important information Dewine.
  12. 150 miles of Social Distancing today after work.
  13. Best description I have found of what we are trying to do.
  14. Been streaming everything from YouTube. Haven't even turned my satalite receiver box on in weeks.
  15. Anyone else have trouble listening to Dr. Amy Acton? Her monotone voice is just really hard for me to listen to. Maybe it's the eco in chamber they are broadcasting from but I litetlly can't take more than 5 min of her. I know I know #firstworldproblems
  16. Exactly what me and Mrs. has been doing. Every evening we watch White House P.C. then Dewine's.
  17. I just think if there was mass testing across all states there would be similar numbers in all states. I still think it's been here longer than we realize and the testing is just confirming it. Also think the testing does nothing more than give us a gauge at this point. If your only going to test the ones you already think pretty much have it already what's the point.
  18. Disclaimer this is total ricer math here and maybe I don't have all the current information but........ Amy Acton said a couple days ago that Ohio only had less than a few thousand available test total. Yesterday alone New York had over 5000 new confirmed cases. Also heard a possitive rate of 10%(ish) of all the test taken. So that means NY took around 50, 000 test 2-3 days ago(due to the the testing time table) How in the hell does NY get that many more test than other sates. Just seems almost criminal.
  19. Probably shouldn't be railing it hard at this time anyway. Two reasons. One I really wouldn't want to make trip to the ER right now. And two the roads are covered with pea gravel and winter debris still. As far as just being out durring the stay at home, I really don't think cops are going to care as long as your not being a tool.
  20. Literally seen twelve cars on my way to work this morning. Two of them were cops.
  21. My wife's scout is in a stupid place too. They recommend checking it after running it for 2 or 3 min but the dip stick is behind the freaking header pipe. No way to check it without mechanics gloves on.
  22. Jesus I thought the 5qts the connie took was a lot.
