  1. actually the last two got a chuckle out of me. Low, low, looooooow bar with EMAW but still
  2. go fuck yourself. i was just commenting on what i saw on the streets you fucking liar.
  3. Eh, I Don’t know about manhattan but still a lot of stuff open in queens. Or at least a lot of people out in the streets. For Queens or at least ASTORIA/LIC it is restaurants/diners: opened every regular day with reduced hours but generally open for takeout/delivery till 8ish. Grocery stores: opened every day but earlier with reduced hours but generally till 8ish. laundry: opened every day with reduced hours but again generally till 8ish. bodegas: either opened every day like normal Or reduced hours. Couple still 24/7 like nothing has changed but they are practically restaurants anyway. Bars: closed unless restaurants. parks: every day wide fucking open. clothing: closed. Beauty stores/salons: closed. Food trucks: lots are gone since the bars shut down late night maybe bc there are so many eateries here but there is still a shit ton of movement going in queens. I get it though, people need to get fresh air, I’m fine with that. But when fucking Cold Stone Creamery is open until 8pm everyday, still feels like restrictions could be a little tighter. Not that I support that but just saying.

    Gym Pet Peeves

    No clue how long this will last but I'm really not trying to invest $300+ into weights that I'll hopefully only be using temporarily. Searched online and weights were either prohibitively expensive or said 1-2 months for delivery. F that. So doing the kettlebell route. I know they're good just never got around to using them at the gym or home. Recs for good online vids or sites? Limited research says start with one, most men can start at 35lbs and just go from there, so going that route. Thanks in advance.
  7. Cuomo on, talking about minimizing apex and stockpile of supplies. Damn, need 30 million surgical masks... that seems like a lot. Back to talking to bed availability.
  8. Why would poor cause more cases? Aren’t the rich ski resorts and cruises also hot spots?

    More like a fast waddle, but yeah.
  10. Is this just political talk? Or updates too? Just got text Boris Johnson has it Link
  11. Very similar situation to 4 people I know here in queens. No doc will test them, told to just quarantine and wait it out. Hopefully the antibody test actually comes through Some day. Related question, any hard facts on how long one is contagious after recovering?
  12. link? Always nice to see shitbags being called out. edit: nvmind, sorry, should have kept scrolling down.
  13. Did I say I was blaming the spread on trump? It’s two different things to blame the spread on someone as opposed to blaming them for not taking any reasonable precautionary measures (and I didn’t mention either before). Way to inject bullshit like your stupid prior post. You’re talking out your ass about things you literally know nothing about. You type like a real moron. You know nothing about nyc and the city is better off the more it stays that way. As for why nyc is getting hard and not japan, not sure. I’d wager that’s more of a country and culture thing in USA v Japan. Or it could be the Japanese national government acted while while everyone from cuomo up had their thumb up their ass. But honestly don’t know. You seem to have a theory, spill it. you also upvoted a post with tweets from early feb As a ... sign that nyc deserved the virus bc it embraced Chinese New Year? Not sure. Maybe City wide social distancing could have helped then but seems like a number of other nationwide measures would have been more prudent at that time.
  14. In regards to Social Distancing, not sure if it goes here or the medical thread (although i've never clicked on that one), but how susceptible is one to infection at a local normal sized outdoor track? The park here was just reopened late in 2019 due to a year long remodel and the track within is huge. But with gyms closed and two mini-ish soccer fields inside the track, everyone is out there running around on nice days since the WHO called it a pandemic. Haven't seen anyone doing team sports but there have been small clusters of people, no more than 3 or 4; and of those none of the clusters interacted. Didn't see anyone coughing either but guess that doesn't mean much. I've gone twice and both days were very sunny, very windy, and cold. I stayed mostly 4-6ft away from people while running around slower runners, but now wondering if it's a hotbed for transmission. I'll still run at the park since it's easy to stay 10-15ft from most people there but the track is hella nice.
  15. and it was to done to combat stupid racists like you who were assaulting anyone of asian descent or thinking they could get the virus by eating at chinese restaurants. if you can't understand the reason for showing solidarity with chinese residents here in nyc in order to combat xenophobia, you are even dumber than your posts from the last two pages.
  16. YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT, how the fuck do you think healthcare people get to work? they just live next door to the hospitals? how the fuck do you think pharmacy and grocery workers get to work in order to feed the city? HOW FUCKING DUMB ARE YOU???? jesus fucking christ, please don't reproduce and add another stupid piece of shit to the gene pool. GOD YOU ARE FUCKING DUMB.
  17. thats not a good take
  18. Yeah, that’s not what the link says. But I doubt anything anyone posts here will convince you of that since it’s pretty self evident, stay healthy
  19. We were? Never saw anything for that. Got a link? I could have missed it. Or are you wrong and thinking about italy? also to borrow your expert analysis from before, it could be that Texas is not “officially” progressing at the same rate bc you aren’t testing at the same rate ny is. If texas never ramps up there testing then poof, they’ll never progress at the same rate. Unless you got a credible link for why you think Texas won’t progress the same way ny is (aside from refusing to test people), every other model shows it will. But I’ll read a real link if you got one.
  20. in regards to "No more national leadership or mentions - this thread will only be for local instances of public policy by local I mean LOCAL, only city/county level discussion is allowed. The national and state public policy talk needs to move to Cloak Room as there isn't a conducive way to include it and have members of the board not feel attacked politically" does that mean the thread won't allow mentions of the Cuomo PCs or really just the info presented there? Don't think there has been much mention of his political BS but others have brought up the figures he presents. There are posters in NY/NYC (it is also the area hit the hardest right now and a preview of what the rest of the country will possibly have to deal with), VA, couple in WA, MN, etc so figure'd I'd ask for a ruling on whether "local" meant TX only or what. Thanks.
  21. Cuomo on, had a reply but got lost. Yeah he is longwinded and grim (agree with @PenelopeWitherspoon) but at least has facts and confronts the situation head on. Do people look to the TX, CA PCs as much as this one? Not trying to be CR just wondering if they are as informative. But damn, Cuomo is longwinded as shit. Stick to the facts! And agreed that they need to include info on recoveries and not just focus on the bad shit (although not sure if thats to keep dumbshits from wanting to break social distancing or if he just is not wanting to which is bad info). EDIT: todays talk mostly about ventilators and talking about putting them in the acute need areas and moving them "personally" to the next area that needs it. Re: liquor stores, NY and TX don't sell liquor at grocery stores and it's dumb as shit. Yes, liquor stores need to be essential until that bullshit is fixed.
  22. Current or updated Link? Dr. Fauci unequivocally stated you don’t get reinfected at his first or almost first PC. The the Japanese article questioning re-infection had also just come out so there “official stance” is no reinfection I’d guess. Even the link you posted said the reinfection might not be real. But that’s the rub. Even in nyc people are still breaking SD. I want to believe this article but it’s main premise is flawed.
