CoronitaParticipant[quote=outtamojo][quote=The-Shoveler]Market just seem wrong somehow.
IMO seems we are just one missed stimulus or something from falling off an economic cliff but then again what do I know.[/quote]
All that stimulus has to find a home somewhere.
I have a feeling construction materials gonna be in short supply. Flu better stock up on for his projects!
Don’t buy nothin on Ebay cause you will be supporting the looters.[/quote]
Heh heh. I was just about to go to the lumber store to buy gate door material and put it on my unemployment debit card that I just got, that has a balance for my Furlow Fridays $200 more each Friday than how much I would have made if I actually worked that day thanks to the extra $600/week federal UI benefit. That’s a lot more lumber I can buy, lol.
I hope the latest UI benefit bill gets passed which will give people a bonus to go back to work, so that I get paid a bonus to return back to work, which I need to anyway.
Eating government cheese on the way out. Eating government cheese on the way back in. lol.

Not sure. I’m wondering if the people who were financially prepared to buy a house here pre-covid were really drastically different financially now. I suspect they probably weren’t really financially impacted by covid.
Maybe now even a little better, because they can now find a loan at even a lower rate.
Like I was saying before, I think SD probably has diversified somewhat from the standard tourism industry, unlike other places. And there’s a pretty large biotech presence here which probably is doing very well. Isn’t one of the major ventilator companies manufacturing in Escondido?
I’m a little surprised myself, because I thought there would at least be some hit. But from what it appears, activity is bustling.
CoronitaParticipantAlso…Looks like housing in SD is doing ok… No crash and burn, as I guess some were expecting and hoping.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=scaredyclassic]interesting re; ventilators.
I read a very stirring personal account about a covid experience in THE SUN magazine.
https://www.thesunmagazine.org/issues/534/just-this-breath
She’s a longtime meditator which often involves concentration on breathing.
she describes the difficulty breathing she had in paintful excruciating detail and the help she got from her meditation practice. quelling panic from not getting much o2. etc.
seems like she was right on the edge of being eligible for a ventilator.
frankly it was inspirational. i hope not to be put to the test, but there may be ways for us to care for our own breathing that could help us avoid being put on a ventilator,which frankly, if I can possibly avoid, I would really like to avoid.
this might be a good time to focus on our breathing meditation.[/quote]
This might explain why some people who are in better shape are surviving better. It’s maybe not be simply obesity itself, maybe it’s closer to the oxygen lung capacity. What I mean, is if you take someone that does a lot of cardio, his/her lung capacity is probably significantly more than someone that doesn’t do cardio. That extra capacity for oxygen might be what is allowing someone to survive covid versus someone who cant get enough oxygen. Same thing could be said for smokers. Unfortunately, this doesn’t bode well for people with asthma. And for someone that just goes to the gym to lift weights without doing cardio, that probably won’t help that much either in increasing your chances of winning over covid.
Don’t quit your 2-3 miles run each day.
I did the Potato Chip @ Mt Woodson hike over the weekend. 2.5 hours around the back. A 48 year old woman in our group *ran* the entire Potato Chip backtrail in 1 1/2 hr wearing a mask and didn’t even complain about being tired in the end. That was impressive. If you ever tried running with a mask on, it makes a pretty big difference assuming you are wearing it correctly.
ltsdd. Some are suspecting that the ventilators are not helping people and could cause lung damage, so some doctors are trying to avoid using them. In many cases, they are trying much milder things such as CPAP and oxygen concentrators…which is why I bought one before restrictions went into place on purchasing these.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=ltsddd]I don’t think ventilators will kill you. It’s just that if a patient reaches a point where they need ventilators then the probably of dying go up due to their poor general health (underlying health conditions). If someone needs a ventilator then they got to have a ventilator, I don’t think they have a choice – either don’t go on it and die now or go on it and have a fighting chance.
What I am trying to say is all of a sudden people don’t seem to be too concerned about the virus – including the media from left to right. SMH[/quote]
CoronitaParticipant[quote=ltsddd]Before this month is over. We’ll be hearing ventilators again and again and again. All those in-your-face shouting is exactly what not to do wrt the coronavirus. We should all learn to protest like Gandhi did.[/quote]
I’m not so sure about this.
1. More companies are making ventilators, so in a few months, we should have more supply. (Ford and GM for example are making them).
2. I thought doctors are now trying to avoid putting people on ventilators because there’s questions as to whether they are helping since a large percentage of people who go on ventilators end up dying…And even the ones that survive have long term issues from being on them…
This might bode for the opposite outcome for companies that count on making ventilators. A lot more supply, reduced demand ?
CoronitaParticipantCoronitaParticipant[quote=ltsddd][quote=Coronita]That’s why so much ancient Chinese set and artifacts can still be found in Museums in UK.[/quote]
You should be grateful there are still “so much ancient Chinese set and artifacts can still be found in Museums”.
As bad and painful as it is to lose that much of a nation’s treasures to another country; in the case of China that might have been the best thing to happen to her.
Try to imagine them being smashed or melted down for scrap metal by the Red Guards during whatever the eff they claimed they were doing back in the 50s and 60s and 70s(?).[/quote]It could be argued that China probably would not have fallen to the Communists had western nations not raided and weakened China’s empire during the Opium Wars. Also, let history show that Taiwan was actually on the side of Imperial Japan during WWII and to this day still maintains a slave/subservient image among old time Japanese, especially in the way that Japanese officials never acknowledge Taiwan, even during the Tsunami crisis where Taiwan donated a lot of relief money to Japan. Old school Japan only respect those that have put up a fight with them, and from that regards respect the mainland Communists much more so than the Islanders that simply let bent over without a fight.
CoronitaParticipantOh shoot that’s what the store is called. I forgot there was a lumber store in Sorrento Valley right next to the train tracks. I didn’t know it was called JW Redwood. Thanks for the reminder Hobbie.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=Hobie]Outdoor fencing is typically made of redwood or cedar as that wood stands up to elements better. Are you talking about tongue and groove or shiplap when you are referring to overlapping panels? JW Redwood good source.[/quote]
That’s what you call it. Yes, tongue and groove type wood paneling. My old house used 1/4″ tongue and groove wood for the gate doors. My current house uses 1″ wood. It’s all splitting and the gate is ridiculously heavy. I don’t car if it’s redwood or cedar.since I’ll be staining it with a solid color.
I’ll check out JW Redwood
CoronitaParticipantBrian,
As echoed by others in other threads…..

CoronitaParticipantdon’t worry, apologetic white people are starting to pin this on the Asian american cop that stood by and did nothing..After all, once again, that’s what apologetic white people do in this situation ….as they always do. blame the asian male
dude and call our his race. It figures.Funny when a black person hurls “go back to China” at many Asian Americans lately, as fully documented many times, news doesn’t seem to cover that and say “Racist Black person hurls racially intimidating cvood threats at Asian Americans. We need to talk about that” ..
Where are all the white sympathizers jumping off their feet to publicly say that’s wrong? Please white apologetics…don’t trip over each other’s feet running to the door to write that headline! As long at you got that Asian American spouse, you can check the box and make the claim that you have “diversity” in your blood, lol.CoronitaParticipantI don’t need you apologists to make other white people apologize for some things that some other white people might have done in the past.
All I need you to do is to not screw around and make things unequal for others moving forward as a concession to appease some African Americans that were wronged.
CoronitaParticipantAnd since Chinese people are one of the oldest civilizations, many of you westerners still owe us from the days of the Opium wars, where many of you Europeans stoke all the treasures, gold, etc from the then Chinese emperor after the then China refused to participate in the then Opium drug trade. That’s why so much ancient Chinese set and artifacts can still be found in Museums in UK.
