    Mini prepping. (Covid-19 thread)

    Posted · Edited by 2talltim

    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.

    when it's my turn to follow the Spyder one must find a wake-up exercise to pass the time.😀

     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.

    The company is probably waiting until he, too, has symptoms before sending him home. He needs to be home NOW to take care of her for however long it takes! If they have kids, even more important that he be given leave. This is beyond ridiculous, and probably a widespread phenomenon.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Because they have over 15,000 confirmed cases and Ohio has a few hundred. Studies are showing that the best possible way to "contain" the spread is to identify carriers early and isolate them from the public. NY is doing their best to handle the situation. They are a major US import city. A total lockdown of state borders and traffic would put a huge dent in the spread, but that won't happen. It is in our best interest to let NY test as many people as possible, so long as they are making sure those testing positive are adequately quarantined. 

    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.

    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.

    I was out and about yesterday and saw cops everywhere. They were in places I typically don’t see them.  I was thinking of a motorcycle ride Thursday but if it’s going to be worse than a holiday weekend I don’t know that I want to deal with it. 

    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.

    . Hated checking it. That dipstick gets hot as hell. 

    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.

    It’s official. Due to the danger of the corona pandemic and orders imposed by our governor. My facility is moving to a 24/7 work week. Management has found a loophole. Apparently painting sheet metal is essential to life. 

    I went to worked yesterday voluntary. Half the people that volunteered didnt show. So they sent us home and paid us for 4 hours. I'll take it this time of year. When the weather breaks, hell no.
