    They sure got out in a hurry. A testimony to Toyota Camry safety or meth I guess.

    Yeah those were the two observations I made as well. Wet sanding would give a better finish and the paper would last far longer. And figure 8 would help ensure consistency and eliminate single-direction longitudinal scratching. I've never used this method for a cylinder head but I've used it for lots of other stuff.

    That guy is pretty cool too. May have to watch some of his other vids.

    I hear it's also causing blood clots and no fever cases are actually dying. Covid is a shit show.

    It's no worse than the flu.
    Everybody will get it.
    Numbers have been skewed.
    Projected models are incorrect.
    Some won't know they got it, some will get a little sick, some will die.
    Blown out of proportion.
    Things have gone way overboard for this virus.
    Quarantine will only slow it down, not stop it.

    Those 2 links are just the beginning of showing how blown out of proportion this whole thing has been.

    The problem with covid is you can have it and not know it but still spread it. Then there is the fact it takes weeks to show symptoms and when the symptoms appear it's too late for some and their dead in days.

    Wonder why we don't quarantine for the "normal" flu then? Seems like an extremely high amount of deaths for an overreaction. Am curious tho why you wear a mask if it's not a big deal

    Do a little research on how many people actually do die from the normal flu in a year.

    Oh, don't get me started. I HATE when people say "I don't know how to do that" Well, you are correct, and you never will if you don't try!!!

    With the isolation the c19 numbers are similar to flu, without it they are vastly larger. Mortality rate in Italy is over 13%. Rate in pockets of the U.S. is 5%. This is also just a few months compared to flu numbers over 12 months. After 12 months of c19 it may be completely different. If we isolated for flu it would be very small.

    The flu doesn't bombard the health system for ventilators like Covid is doing. That's the whole reason for masks and social distancing.

    Mandated by the County Judge, in the county I work in, for essential workers. I've not once worn a mask off work & won't. Thank God I live in a different county.
    Exactly. But people won't actually look for themselves. They just want to regurgitate the trash they've been fed.
    But it didn't like they said it would. Nowhere near like they said it would. Hospital employees are getting laid off/furloughed @ an alarming rate.

    You get numbers like that when you don't test everyone. That's the key point in these antibody tests. They're proving those numbers are garbage.

    I know of a young nurse here locally that has been furloughed for 1 day a week might turn into more
