Re: [MBZ] Corona Virus in Tampa

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

(Up Nort) We would see similar hysteria each time the wedder channel 
predicted the week's "storm of the century" about a normal schnee 
storm.   The sheeple would run out, clear the shelves of TP, bread, and 
sometimes other stuff like milk, eggs and beer.    After 3 or 4 of 
these, the apt dwellers no longer had space to stash any more crap, so 
the feeding frenzies died off and the newbies figgered out they had 
already survived 4 "storm of the centurys" in the past 4-6 weeks so they 
may not need a truckload of TP for the next one.   THey never did figger 
out that they were being played by the boobtubers.

This is non news anymore. Media hype, pure and simple. Nobody is dead, 
so it means nothing. I grow tired of all the hysteria. Airlines 
cutting routes and flights, scaremongering about sanitizing all the 
interior surfaces and installing more machines to excrete alcohol 
based sanitizers. School children furloughed for weeks on end, causing 
all manner of issues for parents who will now be sending the kids to 
daycare instead.


Amazon, Facebunk, and more companies closing down offices because 
somebody sneezed or knew somebody who once had a cough. I have yet to 
figure out why toilet tissue is in such great demand. Are the gastric 
issues really that horrid that you have to empty the local Costco?

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

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Yeah, I already saw the brag page.    I had one as a rental, and I 
always liked the old pickups, so I thought it looked good. .. until I 
got in the rental.    However driving it was not good.   What a POS.   I 
had a rental impala a few years ago and it was much better.   My dad's 
old 2000 brick was better.   You were right, the old brick he had is better.

Suddenly the price range has gone up and they buy the kid a $4000 
Chebby HHR. It will be torn up or wrecked within 3 months.

Re: [MBZ] How to drive a rental car

[Clay via Mercedes]

SWMBA rented a camry for the weekend visit to Fairbanks.  Came with its own ice 
scraper w/ brush (used a bunch) and the requisite block heater extension cord.  
Seems there are  outlets all over town as well as at the hotel, outdoor 
parking, as covered parking seems to be viewed with a jaundiced eye.  No power 
unless you flip a switch from your hotel room to the numbered outlet.

That poor car did not enjoy getting lit off at -30 without any block warming.  
Must have knocked a few months off the engine with that start.  While filling 
up before dropping it back off, I saw that there were car fluids in what would 
normally be outdoor fridges.  Like for sodas and snacks.  At -30f that must 
have been heated, as there was no way oil purchased out of the cold case was 
going to be in any way a liquid at outside temps.

Re: [MBZ] 2004 MB E320 4Matic Window Wiper Issue.....help!!!

[Robert Koziak via Mercedes]

Hi,
  Thanks for the suggestions with my 2004 Mercedes E320 windshield wiper issue. 
 Tried everything I am resigned to changing the "Combination Switch" so I 
ordered the part (Genuine Mercedes $125.00).  
  Does anyone know of any installation videos for this repair they can 
recommend?  I am also looking for a good repair manual or technical online 
manual.  I have used Haynes manuals for years but they don't make one for this 
car.

[MBZ] More on COV 19

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

Coronavirus screening may miss two-thirds of infected travelers entering
U.S.


*This is part of our Coronavirus Update
 series in
which Harvard specialists in epidemiology, infectious disease, economics,
politics, and other disciplines offer insights into what the latest
developments in the COVID-19 outbreak may bring.*

As many thousands of students prepare to decamp for warmer climes over
spring break, a Harvard epidemiologist warned that traveler screening may
catch just one in three symptomatic cases of COVID-19, the disease caused
by the new coronavirus, meaning there already could be hundreds of U.S.
cases that slipped through earlier screenings.

Marc Lipsitch , head
of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
’s Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics
, said Wednesday that recent modeling
compared the number of people likely exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms with the
number caught by traveler-screening programs, using the robust screening
program in Singapore as a global gold standard.

The result showed that most countries’ procedures miss two-thirds of
travelers exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, a finding that Lipsitch said may
explain the recent appearance of a cluster of cases in Washington, where 10
people have died. Lipsitch said travelers sick with COVID-19 likely arrived
in the U.S. four to six weeks earlier and simply were missed in screening,
leading to the Seattle area outbreak.

“I think you could have certainly hundreds, if not more, cases around the
United States by this point,” Lipsitch said. “The problem with giving a
firm number … is that there’s a lot of randomness in whether a particular
case does or doesn’t spark a chain of transmission.”

Re: [MBZ] OT: CV 19

[Clay via Mercedes]

Speaking of SFO.  I wonder what impact this virus is having upon the unhoused 
who poop in the streets.  No word of deaths or illness rampaging through the 
tents and cardboard boxes populated with the infirm and drug addled.  SEA has 
as much of an issue as the Bay Area.  I assume the virus will bloom well from 
piles of untended feces as much as somebody sneezing.  Far more people will 
come in contact with rain washing virus on the street.  Do not touch your shoes!

Re: [MBZ] 1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 300TD $950 --weirdness

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

This is weird, I took a snap of the VIN plate, it was raining yesterday 
so I didn't look at it too closely.  Turns out it is a 97 not a 99 and 
not a turbo.  I must admit in the rain I did not look too closely, just 
to see that the intake manifold and such was off and there was work on 
the injection pump.  Thinking about it I don't think it had a turbo and 
it didn't register on me at the time.  I guess the 606.912 is NA.


I went to send the guy a msg and our message thread was deleted off my 
phone from Messenger.  Weird.  I wonder if he deleted it. The posting 
has been deleted too,  maybe someone came and got it yesterday or since 
he has these offers he just deleted it.


Oh well, not sure I want a non-turbo, I guess I could swap the turbo 
engine into it easy enough but not worth fooling with as I have this 
other $500E300 here I need to swap the relays into and get it running.  
The injection pump would not work on it from what I can tell.


So that's a no-go

Understand that driving five miles in this area can take considerable time.

Re: [MBZ] OT: CV 19

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I have a meeting with a store that is just south of the airport Tuesday 
morning. Might not be there more than a couple of hours, not sure. Might have 
most of the afternoon free.

SFO?

If you only have a few hours you can’t go into the city, you’ll never get back 
in time. If it’s a day while you’re there, sure, go into the city and do the 
tourista stuff, Fisherman’s Wharf, get a Boudin bread brown with some clam 
chowdah, etc., drive across the Golden Gate to the Marin Highlands...

I used to ride the cable cars all the time when I lived there. Locals know to 
go up the block from the turntables where the touristas cluster for hours and 
just jump on there. Saves waiting around in line.

I loved riding the California Street line to Grant. That puts you right at 
Chinatown, and the California Street line isn’t loaded with touristas like the 
Powell St. lines are.

Yum.

Train yourself to stop touching your face, practice good hygiene. Avoid going 
out in public. You can take these measures and probably more to reduce the odds 
against you.

 San Francisco is one of my favorite cities. About 15 years ago we stayed at 
the Red Victorian in the Haight. Very hippie-tastic, a real hoot. More recently 
we stayed in Hotel Triton on the edge of Chinatown.
The cable car museum is not to be missed, IIRC its free too. You get to see the 
big motors that pull the cable cars around.
