70% is preferred.  Quite effective against lipid virus.  So find

there must still be interesting shops, restaurants and other attractions near

One of the reasons the epidemiologists are worried is that this virus
spreads over twice as fast as the "common"flu and colds. I read that the
"common" flu is spread to 1.2 persons per infected individual. This virus
is spreading at 2.5 persons per infected individual - thus a much faster
and wider spread. My numbers are from memory - probably off a bit, but the
relationship is close.

Just nature's way of dealing with over population

This virus spreads as easily as the flu, I think, or a common cold.  Gonna be a 
huge problem since we slept through the initial latency period pretending it 
wasn't gonna be bad.

What can I say, epidemiologist have been trying to persuade politiciians for at 
least 30 years that we are due for a big epidemic, either a nasty flu (ten 
years overdue on that one) or a novel thing like the corona virus.

Three percent death rate and say 10% severe enough to require hospitalization 
is gonna be a HUGE problem -- 10 million extra patients will flatten our health 
care system, to say nothing of the fact that nearly all our medical supplies 
now come from a country that can only prevent a health care disaster by 
shutting down whole cities.

I guess we will "discover" global warming when south florida ends 50 miles 
south of Orlando.

March 6, 2020 at 5:48 PM

March 6 (UPI) -- The Texas-based makers of Tito's Handmade Vodka 
issued an unusual statement in response to a customer's comment: Do 
not use vodka as hand sanitizer.


The issue was raised Thursday when a customer said on Twitter that 
they had been using Tito's Handmade Vodka to make homemade hand sanitizer.


"I made some hand sanitizer out your vodka. The hand sanitizer doesn't 
taste bad either. Cheers to Tito's vodka. Keeping me germ-free and 
feeling good at the same time," the customer wrote.


Tito's responded with a serious statement warning other customers not 
to follow their example.


"Per the CDC, hand sanitizer needs to contain at least 60 percent 
alcohol. Tito's Handmade Vodka is 40 percent alcohol, and therefore 
does not meet the current recommendation of the CDC," the brand tweeted.

[MBZ] Booze not safe as hand sanitizer

2020-03-06 Thread archer75--- via Mercedes


March 6 (UPI) -- The Texas-based makers of Tito's Handmade Vodka issued an 
unusual statement in response to a customer's comment: Do not use vodka as hand 
sanitizer.

The issue was raised Thursday when a customer said on Twitter that they had 
been using Tito's Handmade Vodka to make homemade hand sanitizer.

"I made some hand sanitizer out your vodka. The hand sanitizer doesn't taste 
bad either. Cheers to Tito's vodka. Keeping me germ-free and feeling good at 
the same time," the customer wrote.

Tito's responded with a serious statement warning other customers not to follow 
their example.

"Per the CDC, hand sanitizer needs to contain at least 60 percent alcohol. 
Tito's Handmade Vodka is 40 percent alcohol, and therefore does not meet the 
current recommendation of the CDC," the brand tweeted.

I had it at the wrong detent.   I thought the pins would not go in at 
the wrong detent.   I think it would have popped right out if i'd had 
the switch on the right detent.  Never did that before...


I did eventually find the right pdf, but it had no elucidation.

In the meantime, I looked up AWG to mm and 12 ga is just a hair over 
2mm.   I made a new pair out of 12 ga solid copper.   But the 1.5mm ball 
driver allen wrenches are big enough across the lands to pop em off if

The Chinese conspiracists have two opposing faux news threads spreading
like a virus:

1) The US created COVID 19 and inoculated the Chinese, and the 20K ++
deaths attributed to this year's flu are actually due to COVID 19

OR

2) The Chinese government is hiding the massive loss of life in China, way
more than has been reported, and the number of fatalities are growing, not
shrinking.

Lots to chew on here.

Been trying to get the ign. lock and cover off the 300D (1987)   Have

Re: [MBZ] I go out of town and they buy the kid another car

2020-03-06 Thread Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes
I was just thinking today while I was driving the 230k $600E320 that it is 
actually a pretty decent car that could probably go a long time unless the 
electronics start getting wonky.  It’s not particularly exciting or compelling 
but does its job ok. While i was pondering this I was seeing these other E 
classes around and none of them gave me any tingles, though an E63 wagon could 
be interesting...

This observation suggested to me that a 126 or maybe 124 would be a reasonable 
alternative for a long-term reliable ride though the 210 is obviously more 
refined in some respects and is more fuel efficient, which I guess is an aspect 
of the nannies. I really liked the $500E300, but this gasser is OK.  I’ve never 
driven a 140 so don’t know about those but I like the idea of a bigger car. 

Maybe if I respray this other $500E300 I would feel more tingly.  That NA E300 
I looked at the other day was a really pretty dark blue, darker tan interior, I 
really liked that.  This white one has a lighter beige interior which I guess 
would be good with a dark blue.

Re: [MBZ] Dying from Coronavirus

Public Health scientists and physicians look at this as an opportunity to study 
how pandemics spread in the modern world and which measures are most effective 
in stopping them. It's a unique situation since they are reasonably certain it 
began at a specific pig market in China. (As usual some Chinese say the U.S. 
created the virus, and some Americans are saying the Chinese created the virus; 
but it's agreed by all that it began in a certain city in China and that's good 
enough for tracking it worldwide. If a truly deadly virus begins to spread, 
what scientists learned from this "flu virus" may allow them to stop the spread 
of the deadly virus.

Gerry makes a good point. I would agree that the media is blowing things out of 
proportion somewhat. However, that being said, if that’s what it takes to raise 
people’s awareness about proper hygienic protocols that should be practiced by 
all at all times, it’s a good thing.

I’ve always been a stickler about hand washing and insisted that my kids do the 
same when they were little, so they get into a good habit. It’s the other 
guy/gal you have to worry about.

I was listening to a discussion on the radio today about the way various 
countries are dealing with this, and the stuff they were saying about Italy was 
pretty scary, and certainly explains why they’ve been a major vector in that 
part of the world.

Wow. That makes me feel even better about driving a 200k W210. If she can’t

Now that you mention it I just looked at a pic of the dash and does look 
like burl walnut, it's quite pretty.  I never really noticed it

I like this idea. Excellent thinking!

But what I have been wondering, and am almost afraid to ask, is what has your 
wife been driving all this time? Knowing her predilection for destroying cars, 
you haven’t complained about any recent automotive destruction.

Indeed! We are being taken for schnooks.



I cannot believe that Congress and the President are going to spend
$8.5 BILLION on this, that is insane.

What all are they going to spend it on?

 I don't think its a hoax, I think its overblown. This is SARS/Swine flu/H1N1 
all over again. The media hammers on it continuously and makes people scared so 
idiots do stupid stuff like the Australian run on toilet paper.If you're doing 
the stuff you should be doing anyway (washing your hands, being relatively 
healthy) your chance of infection and death is relatively low.
You're much more likely to die of heart disease...

Not sure about NA OM617 but in winter storm of 2013 big tree branch came
down on my 82 CD. As I was getting ready to kiss it good by, body shop
called and said ins co would not total it. Repairs were about 6k and car
booked at at 13400. So  I got a new pant job,new sunroof etc out of it. I
did buy RF  fender from Rusty so it could be done then. YMMV

If there are fewer goods to ship, truckers will be hurt more than
benefited by less expensive diesel. Diesel is not truckers' only expense
and less driving will not affect their fixed expenses:

 - Vehicle and cargo insurance
 - Health insurance for the trucker and family
 - Living costs and insurance for the trucker and family
 - Vehicle registration and fees (which are many!)
 - Taxes (which also are many! Some people say truckers do not
   pay their fair share of road maintenance and other costs,
   but that is just nonsense. Those people are uninformed.)
 - Truck and possibly trailer payments
 - Vehicle maintenance, including tires (18 at $300-700 each,
   though these costs will be less for fewer miles)
 - Most likely other things I cannot think of at the moment

Here's the bottom line from the link you provided:

"Current symptoms reported for patients with COVID-19 have included mild to
severe respiratory illness with fever1
, cough, and
difficulty breathing."

Hmmm, yep, that sounds like the end of the world as we know it!  Sure
thing, we ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!

Give me a break, read up yourself.  Your older and in a higher risk
category, fine, wash your hands, stop touching your face, and avoid public
places.  Stay in good shape, keep your lungs and heart healthy, and even if
you get infected, odds are 15% or less that it will be fatal.  Do you want
to live forever?

Max, if you took the time to get informed you would understand why Congress
overwhelmingly passed this bill and the Pres. will sign it into law.

 This in particular will be one where the media will always find the negative. 
Less usage will mean cheaper gas, cheaper shipping, cheaper farming, cheaper 
food...
So yeah the oil markets and energy companies will be hurt but consumers and 
farmers and truckers will all benefit.

 Panel told energy to be 'disproportionately affected' by virus

The head of the International Energy Agency warned senators yesterday that
the new coronavirus will have significant impacts on energy sectors, with
oil markets in particular facing major repercussions.

Pressed on the emerging global health threat, IEA Executive Director Fatih
Birol told the Energy and Natural Resources Committee that energy "will be
disproportionately affected by the coronavirus."

"The main reason being that in addition to economic activity going down,
mobility is negatively affected," Birol testified.

Falling demand is already being felt throughout global markets, sparking
the largest ever drop in a single financial quarter (*Energywire
*, March
5).

Birol noted that the aviation sector — which accounts for about 1% of the
global economy but 10% of oil demand — is particularly hard hit. "It is
very, very negatively affected," he said.

IEA will release its annual oil market report Monday in Paris and is
currently "revising down" oil numbers, Birol said.

That report was supposed to be released at the annual CERAWeek by IHS
Markit conference in Houston — which Birol noted was canceled because of
the coronavirus (*Energywire
*, March 2).

However, Birol also said he expects the fallout from the coronavirus and
the disease it causes, COVID-19, to be "temporary."

"Looking at fundamentals, oil demand is strong and global demand will
continue to increase," he said.

Pressed by Energy and Natural Resources Chairwoman Lisa Murkowski
(R-Alaska) about what happens if a COVID-19 outbreak lingers into the
summer, Birol conceded that a further downward revision would follow and
noted that Monday's report will include an "adverse case" scenario.

Sustained downward pressure domestically will be felt on shale production,
he said. Bloomberg reported

 yesterday that Exxon Mobil Corp. is slowing drilling in Texas' Permian
Basin over virus fears.

*"Oil prices will experience a downward pressure*, and in the case of the
United States if this downward pressure continues for a long time, it may
have impact on the shale production," said Birol.

Responding to a question from Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Birol
said a global glut in solar panels should minimize the short-term impacts
on the solar sector, even though a "big chunk" of the panels comes from
China and other Southeast Asian countries.

"If the situation gets under control in a short period of time, we will not
see any problem because there is a surplus of solar panels in the world,"
he said. "But if it continues for over a year, we may see some bottlenecks."
