  1. Ha, yeah the portions are generous to say the least And price wise definitely worth it. Astoria has some good dance bars just no one knows about. But on topic, everyone here just kosher. Corona just a beer. Lesson here for me to keep level headed for my elder relatives and folks. But again, I’m not 100 positive but pretty sure no one said millions dead but only that it hits the elderly disproportionately hard. Not hating on you @Hate just saying I’ve only been an “alarmist” for my parents bc they are in that range so I’m worried for them but not for me. I would much rather this all just be an over reaction than consider losing my elders, be they my parents or aunts and uncles. Here’s to hoping that this is all bs and people can point to me for being too alarmist and everything turned out ok in the end
  2. Deja vu on 28th ave and 32nd st. English the fourth most spoken language After port, Spanish, And some random ass Baltic language
  3. Did I say I wasn’t? And no one claimed that so keep being you bro, see you on the other side Edit: I mean of this corona scare. I honestly do appreciate your call out posts if only cause it’s easy to see the cdc, epidemiologists, government officials from the uk and USA say “prepare and it could get worse” before falling into alarmist personal territory. I am guilty of that. But we’ll see who is/was right. But what is your position? That it is no worse than a flu? Honest question cause I’ve only see your posts say every alarmist is full of shit but not what you actually think will happen or assessment of what “we” are dealing with.
  4. I’ve been as big an “alarmist” here as others but tonight at my local unofficial/unlawful dance club in Astoria, all under 45 and hopefully over 21, and no one gives a shit. Business as usual. Just saying. Everyone smoking hookah and drinking, dancing like normal. I have conflicting trains of thought: 1) worry about my 75 year old parents but be reassured by all the naysayers who say this thread is just panic but also 2) look at the cdc and uk officials saying hold onto your butts while I look at some nice ass Latina, Baltic, Portuguese ladies dancing with no worries. fuck it, don’t know what to believe. Maybe I’ll just go with the Hemingway quote “I’ll live until I die and I’m not afraid of foxes”
  5. With epa evisceration and climate denying, could you really tell the difference in KIA in the end?
  6. I get other people might not be saints but why die on the trump hill? They suck off nazis and protect child molesters. Better places to say democrats suck and people might agree.
  7. This is the cluster that infected the nursing home? And we still don’t know how it got to Washington state or the nursing home, right?
  8. Why? Link to substantiate? I’m not saying south by doesn’t bring in good money But it isn’t like Austin has a tiny entertainment industry that no one attends on a nightly or weekly basis or isn’t kicking ass during RoT, hs championships, damn near every wknd in the fall. I’ll be honest and admit it’ll hurt but hyperbole alarmist claims of cratering and closing small businesses in the Austin economy ... come on. I feel like CTJ here! I’m open to a counter argument but it’s gotta be convincing.
  9. Points? Like license points? Where was that info? That’s fair and good points all around. It was Only a matter of time I guess. I work a block down from the westchester law firm dude so that isn’t great. Next 12-14 days should be interesting no matter what happens.
  10. Please, feel free to not post on a thread that triggers you so much. People looking for info won’t mind. Or at least be funny in your trolling
  11. Probably goes on the dumb question amnesty thread (and I already fucked up once but people keep asking this around me) but in regards to getting it twice, the doctor on the Saturday conference said no way. but isn’t the common cold a coronavirus and we only know of 7 kinds of coronaviruses? So then how do people keep getting colds throughout the years? If we can’t get covid19 twice, then I’m definitely getting something wrong, but which part? Thanks in advance.
  12. Oh, no Data. Just saying and hoping for the best. edit: just saw the post above mine with data. So here’s to hoping!
  13. For March madness, sure why not? If the case load here mimics the ones in Italy, China, sk then right around tourney time shit will be nuts. Playing the games with no audience is a good compromise. Do more than a nominal amount of people even watch the nhl playoffs if there City team isn’t in it? As for the NBA playoffs, they start in late April? Hopefully we have a good handle on stuff by then, and business can go back to normal. Theaters and restaurants might be fucked for a few weeks though. But if Milan is opening up tourist places again today, maybe we dodged a bullet.
  14. Question about the BNO news map, why don’t they have a little circle in Iceland, Nigeria, ecuador, etc? The gf Is in Quito (6 cases) now due to a relative passing (fuck cancer) and at church they told her the Bishop said no more shaking hands in the “peace be with you” part of service. So it’s spreading there already, people are taking precautions, but no little orange dot from BNO.
  15. Or we just realize our elder parents could be sick and bringing in booger clingers from across the globe won’t help the situation.
  16. That’s just it; my coping strategy Is that all you can do is buy a few more supplies on grocery runs until the possibility of being isolated 2-4 weeks becomes inevitable. Then make a mad dash and bunker down. Water and electricity will not get shut off, you’ll probably get the Wuhan but odds are really really good you won’t die from the virus. my problem is that I’m only focusing on the MTA being shut down and then being forced to stay home. I keep having to remind myself that that’ll be 1-2 weeks but what if I then get sick? I’ll have to add another 2-3 weeks of time off and more supplies needed. Would suck for me but not sure how that type of scenario and it’s impact plays out for the rest country and the economy. Let’s say people get mild symptoms and go to work so they then start another round of sick people in their area. At least the economy won’t suffer that much but then one or two people they know do get really sick? There’s a lot of unknown shit to ponder. edit: for me, that really isn’t shit hitting the fan. It’s not the apocalypse. Shit will suck but it’s seemingly manageable with a little bit of prep work and rationalization.
