Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #30Zitat von Ray B im Beitrag #28Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #19  Bygone era. I recall that that on the side of an old wood stairway at one of the entries to the Bridgewater Woolen Mill (VT) there were tobacco stains from the '40s and 50's where a lot of the workers spit on the way into work. Until the mill was turned into a mall (after they were not allowed to re-build their dam), those stains were a bit of a tourist attraction for folks from New York. I can't say that none of my great aunts don't still use a little snuff, but no one spits like they used to.

Unfortunately, there is at least one group of people not paying attention to the virus danger or any lockdown regulations:

The thought of inspecting something under a stair case or catwalk still makes me cringe. Old Forum Orphan |

Lots of the issues here are due to lack of consensus or across the board policies like in Europe for instance. The States make their own rules, and are treated like multiple different countries. Because of that, we will continue to see increases of infection and death toll rising. A few weeks back we had the dumb kids in Florida going out in masses for spring break despite the warnings. Now Florida is a hot spot. Then it was New Orleans who still went ahead with their Mardi Gras celebration, where large crowd were packed up in the the streets. Again, now we are seeing New Orleans as a new hot spot. This will continue to happen because there is a lack of leadership " At All Levels" including and most importantly from the Withe House. There are still multiple foolish example of what folks are willing to do,...

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #33Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #21Zitat von runnerhiker im Beitrag #20Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #15 Sort of a backdoor entrance and Medtronic's (subsequent IP owner #2 and the one that ended the gov't contract) side of the story https://www.massdevice.com/medtronic-res...lator-contract/. The following day, Medtronic announced they would dump the IP for a 2010 ventilator on the web for production by other companies. That's sounds really generous, so I downloaded the package to see the contents. I should note, in a prior life I had some R&D interaction with companies that build CPAP and other respiration devices. Within the Medtronic package, there's performance specifications, operation manuals and QA/QC documents. What's missing is 2D or solid model drawings of the components, specification of vendor products (motors, valves, electronic components) or designs of the circuit boards. Basically, the missing info is what a company would need to rapidly build something to print. Instead, the community got a benchmark for evaluating new products. But, I'm sure Medtronic will be congratulated for sharing this............ Old Forum Orphan |

Zitat von BoxerFan im Beitrag #35 I'm quite happy Penn State went to on-line classes on 16 March at the end of Spring Break and will stay with that operating mode thru the remainder of the semester. That greatly reduced the number of potential carriers from returning to a town with one hospital and a significant number of retirement communities. Unfortunately, that placed those potential carriers in their home communities in Eastern PA, NJ and NY.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #37 Agree, my son goes to Millersville U. and they too went on-line with classes. The sad thing is that they will not hold graduation and degree ceremony. He is a Sr. this year and we were all happy to see our first one coming out with a degree. To add insult to injuries, he had 3 interviews line up with potential employers; they called him back to cancel the interviews because they no longer looking to hire at this time. Unfortunately, lots of new graduates will be in the same boat, as if it wasnt hard enough for young professionals to find good jobs,... Sad, very sad, but understand the necessity.

Zitat von BoxerFan im Beitrag #38Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #37 Your son has my sympathy..........it's a cruel time to be entering the workforce. A quick entry to the workforce after graduation is best in my opinion.

My youngest granddaughter got kicked out of UC Santa Cruz, along with everyone else, and is now taking her college courses remotely, on-line. She started her spring quarter classes yesterday. While she received a refund for her on-campus housing fee, no other tuition or fee refunds are being offered to students that no longer have direct access to their professors or to course labs. Interestingly, she wanted to take four courses this quarter, but one of them was "impacted" and was not accepting any more students, even though the course was entirely taught virtually. Fortunately, she doesn't graduate until next year.
