Life after flattening? • Apr 12, 2020 07:01 AM

@kjayhawks said in Life after flattening?:

@DoubleDD Yes, I work for a small business that took this loan. It will be forgiven but we have to pay interest and it’s only to pay employees for 10 weeks. I’ve been using mine( 2 weeks in) with my daughters heart condition but if things aren’t better in that 10 weeks, we will half to lay off most of our employees with business being slow. Then the trouble becomes if we are making enough money to pay our loan for our building and some equipment we have yet to pay off. Sad to think that most mom and pop shops won’t survive. Companies like wal mart are licking their chops. @BShark can anyone explain why tests are so crappy and scarce but they tested a damn tiger for it? Seems like a waste of resources army bare minimum.

Yea it was my biggest fear. Shutting down the world economy is so bad for small business owners. I don’t have all the answers but I got feeling you and your family are going to make it. Keep your head up. Good times are coming.

So how does the economy recover? We have 4 million people who are unemployed find new ways to get employed and the other 12 million on unemployment for a year? How long?

The hope is the relief package was big enough that most people laid off were just effectively furloughed. Once we come back online they get their old jobs back. At this point though it’s hard to say.

From my understanding small businesses can get a loan to pay their employees and bring them back once the economy opens again. If they do just that they don’t have to pay back the loan.

@DoubleDD Our own hesitation to act, then becoming the clear epicenter of the world should serve as a cautionary tale.

@DoubleDD I hope it works out for them and their hospitals do not get overwhelmed. They may have less dense population centers, and sparse gatherings may be more natural for them? The article does that indicate that the rate of infection is acelerating and their policy will likely have to be reevaluated soon. Hopefully they aren't squandering a chance to control the outbreak better like UKs herd immunity plan. https://fortune.com/2020/04/06/uk-boris-johnson-coronavirus-icu-herd-immunity/ ↗

Actually I can’t believe they’re are handling the virus this way. Social distancing and staying at home seems to be working. However there seems to be a lot of pressure to get the world economy going again.

Oh, yeah.. also that Seattle retirement home was an early hot spot.... Canadian immigrants?

So if your saying shutting down the borders was no help. Then what was Trump supposed to do that would have made you smile?

Please avoid putting words in my mouth and then asking a deflective question.

The previous message implied that when Trump shut down the borders quickly, it was a significant move in the effort to slow the virus.

My question is simple: how did shutting down the borders significantly slow the spread of the virus?

Based on my understanding, the virus doesn't discriminate based on visas or citizenship.

I reiterate what seems like a relevant observation: ski resorts were an early hotspot. Not to mention seniors in retirement homes, people on cruise ships, TSA officers at airports. None of these seem like hubs of immigrant activity. Au contraire! It suggests that it was spread by people with the means to travel.

These may be inconvenient facts that don't fit into a particular narrative about borders, walls and immigrants.

So again I ask? you think the borders should Be open? As they have no effect on curbing the spread of the coronavirus? Not putting words in your mouth. It’s called a question.

I asked a question that you clearly won't answer. I didn't say it.. You did. And you won't explain it.

Done.

Oh I’ve said many times I th8nk closing the borders is a great idea.

Since you guys are talking about pollution, I have some first hand knowledge of this. I test emissions from smoke stack across all industries in the US. One thing I can tell you (some of it is classified) is the the emissions reported are WAAAAAAAY under represented.

Once I get onsite and start collecting numbers, I sometimes spend a solid day tuning them in. And once I leave... guess I what? They crank their settings back to how ever they want and continue to operate.

This doesn’t happen to all facilities, but some and the ones that do are really bad.

Just curious how do they turn it back up?

Well it depends on the facility and a particular emission control device. Most places have more than one type of emission point depending on their process.

I’ll do an example of a gold mine. As you could imagine they extract dirt from the ground. Once that is out and moving on a conveyer belt it then gets crushed. Gold, rocks, everything. When it is crushed, it is all enclosed at a negative pressure. Nothing goes to atmosphere at this point. The dust is send through a cyclone separating heavier particles from the light particles. The light particles then gets filtered out through a filter. After that it goes to the atmosphere This type of control device is called a baghouse.

There are different areas where they extract this dirt. Some areas in the mine have cleaner oar than others but have less gold content. So what they do is have the clean oar in the system while we test and then I’ve we’re done they switch back releasing particulate. Mainly particulate that measures <10 microns which can cause lung cancer to the employees.

That’s just one example. Like I said I do basically all types of industries that have a wide range of control devices.

Sorry I can be long winded at times

Wow had no idea. Good stuff. I always figured the cleansing device was just set. Had no idea you could adjust it. Or am I wrong and more of a process?

The part(s) that are set isn’t necessarily doing a damn thing. The only thing that has to stay set, in this example, is the negative pressure (the pressure of the fan that is drawing in particles) and a feed rate. There’s no regulations on which oar they can and can’t use.

It’s kind of shitty what some places get away with.

Thanks for lesson. I had no idea they could circumvent the devices and stuff. So in your opinion are the numbers they produce for the world to see are actually higher? Or I s it the cumulation of all the numbers that it comes in is about right?

United States isn’t actually doing that bad Its been on a downward trend for quite a while except for 2018. I think a lot of credit has to go to a obama in shutting down Coal. Even with Trump in office as he wants to bring back coal, it appears that it’s too late the energy companies have switched to natural gas. I don’t think we will go back to a Coal burning country. However that doesn’t mean we won’t sell it to places like China and India. But if we were in the Paris accord Would it really matter?

Because the US is picking up the bill what are the countries like China and India get to continue to pollute the world at the same levels they are now dumb ass

Agreed, but no reason to waste money on Something that really has no effect on the climate.

Sure and we could say this about dozens of things taking up more than less than a tenth of a percent of the yearly budget.

It’s not some huge win.

Hey I’m all about helping our environment, but don’t tell me we are going to bankrupt our Country so we can lower the average temp by not even a full degree. That makes no sense. Especially while China and India get to keep polluting at the high rates they are now. Not only that but these two countries would actually get money from the US. Go figure?

I’m not going to give him credit for the economy, or ding him for a pandemic in this scenario.

I don’t. I just don’t think the president has hardly anything to do with it period. Businesses make business decisions. It goes in ebbs and flows.

Let me guess you give all the credit for the economy to Obama? Lol

Now he's blaming WHO for COVID.

Frankly, imo asking the question "is Trump a joke?" Is like asking "Is global warming real?"

It depends on how much you appreciate facts.

Does someone need A Tylenol and a cuddle? Lol

Was watching the presser today as I’m off work. Skipped over most of it but there was one thing that kind of tripped me out. It appears that this Coronavirus is affecting the black Americans more so because of the health conditions. They didn’t have no numbers but that’s not good.

Maybe we should start a new thread. We can call it is Trump a joke president?

President Trump removed the chairman of the federal panel that Congress created to oversee his administration’s management of the $2 trillion stimulus package.

Explain it away.

Well I’d have todo more research, but it seems Glen fine was reporting to the DNC powers before the president of the Untied States.

Should not the president know where this stimulus money is going? I mean this is the same congress that wanted millions for the Kennedy center in the Corona virus stimulus package.

I mean I get you don’t like or trust Trump, but he is still the president.

As for the DNC and the left wing media? They were trying to paint him as Russian spy? Lmao that is just crazy. The same DNC that sold a third of our uranium to the Russians. Talk about being hypocritical.

My point is that I think your perspective on the Democrats is only what is presented by the media, just like your perspective on Trump. And I'm not blaming you there. I didn't watch many Obama press conferences either. I should have watched more. I've seen more first hand raw, uncut footage of Trump than all other president's in my lifetime combined. Press conferences, state or the unions, rallies. And it's all trash. The man is a narcissistic bullshitter. So please don't try to tell me I don't have my own opinion of him.

I’m sorry you think so shallow of me. My thoughts are born of their actions and not of some opinion of a no journalist tv face. Whether it be Fox, CNN, MNBC, or even the New York Times. You have to look pretty hard for true journalism.

Here’s one thing we can agree on? I too think Trump is a bit of Narcissist. Yet I don’t think that means he can’t do the job. In fact he’s been doing a pretty good Job in all phases. In my humble opinion.

@DoubleDD I have watched it straight out his mouth. My opinion is unfiltered. What a gift to watch our supreme leader speak! The best!

Think you need to be more specific?
