  1. Sadly, no. The vids in this link are only funny cause of how much people just don’t give a fuck, but they are funny. Link and story
  2. That’s farther down, Just by a couple avenue blocks. The blink gym in his subsequent day after tweet is my gym And shows Lunera, Basurero, and ritmo 60 which are all lots of fun in non CoVID times, but I’ve seen them all have zero distancing for over a month now.
  3. Why is that news/tweet worthy? Not looking at you but the person behind the tweet. Been that way for a while now, at least a month. that said, this was the high street 2.5 small street blocks from my place on Thursday night: Link On the one hand I’m jealous cause I’m not going and it’s tittays on parade season But on the other hand, if incidence of the bug in the nyc population is closer to Europe levels (wasn’t there a graph on here a couple days ago showing 736 total cases for all of NY state?) and this is all outdoor, maybe it isn’t that bad? Honestly don’t know, but I hope we don’t and aren’t shitting the bed all over again. The tweet was from Thursday but it’s been like that for weeks now and last night was no different.
  4. 😡 $7-900 here in the city
  5. Yeah, it’s hitting close to home even for the careful people. But no doubt where my relative got it, they’ve been treating positive patients since March and been rotated on/off the ward/section a couple times at least.
  6. Fucking shit. My relative in the Austin medical community tested positive today. Day one of symptoms was yesterday and the test results came back today. Isolating at home now and luckily their spouse/kids have enough room to manage the next two weeks but the spouse had life threatening pneumonia a few years ago so they’re worried about that. These next two weeks can’t pass fast enough.
  7. I’m just upset that the stupid writer/editor thought a trigger warning was worth using. But I guess any use of one would go in the trivial things that annoy you thread.
  8. yup, thats been the worry from the onset. If only the simple farmers, people of the land, and common clay of electorate understood that.
  9. Catching up on the thread so this is late but first two things: 1) That sucks re: covid but also more importantly 2) sorry about her foot, hope it gets better quick and that's all y'all have to deal with. Y'all gonna hear this a lot from NE/nyc folk but from march to june, there was no fucking way I was risking any serious injury. Miss me with that bs of having to go to the hospital and be near covid folk. No way. Y'all stay safe/healthy and avoid serious injuries as much as possible.
  10. So basically what NY state is doing after the initial fuckups? Wish Abbott would allow for local control and only manage in a stepped back, macro level.
  11. completely agree with your post but only because accurate info is one of our only weapons in this, I think i read that the latest research pointed at pre-symptomatic and not asymptomatic fueling larger outbreaks. I could be wrong though.
  12. Never heard of medical tourism?
  13. Yeah I’m not buying them anymore, even though I used to get them bc they were comparable quality wise and Latino owned. No more
  14. Fuck trump and fuck you and your family if you support this piece of shit traitor. Fucking disgraceful what is going on in this country due to trump.
  15. All city md locations? Damn it queens, stop being shitty! I took the test for the second time at the same location (got a little careless on fathers day) and they wanted to charge this time but I haven’t gotten the bill yet. Turn around time is not 2-3 days anymore at my location. It WAS when I first took the test before Memorial Day but was told at least a week now. Last time I took it on Sunday and got the results Tuesday mornIng; took it this past Monday and still no word today.
  16. Going upstate, got a bottle of EW SiB to relax on but saw Bakers 7, BH Rye, and Russells Special Reserve which i think have been mentioned here but wasn't willing to pull the trigger for $50ish on each (don't really remember the prices). But I did see something I had never heard of, Buffalo Trace Kosher Wheat bourbon/whiskey/? and BT Kosher Rye. Anyone tried those two? Worth it? Didn't even look at price just thought they looked really different.
  17. Where is the other support? All I'm seeing is his BLM comment. Not saying he didn't support the non-apology, just can't see/find it to read it myself, any link would be appreciated.
  18. IF all he wrote on the page was what is in his post, then you are pretty fucking sensitive and not thinking clearly.
  19. You might be right, it is a possibility. But do you honestly think the first quoted post is nothing to be scared about?
  20. Bet he worked at APD before running for office
  21. i want to hate/sad face this post but not give you a negative vote. I am grateful for the info but can't like the post either. Fucking shit this is bad. Hope it turns around soon for y'all.
  22. Agree but seems like a plan would include 1) naming metrics that don't overrun hospitals, 2) getting enough tests in order to make sure cities/counties are meeting those metrics, 3) instituting a tracing system to cover outbreaks, 4) get everyone to wear a mask once things open up, and 5) sticking to the metrics and halting re-opening if the metrics aren't met. Am I missing any essential parts? We know TX shit the bed on 4, and especially 1 and 5; 2 seemed ok but somehow some but not all cities are starting to run out; and 3...well not sure how that one is going. Is that the only one going well?
  23. Fucking Astoria then, I hope we don’t fuck it up for everyone.
  24. @StruggleBus course not, but if there are guidelines, stick to them and have them Strictly enforced. But If we don’t need them and can safely congregate Outdoors, awesome, let’s do that and fuck unnecessary guidance that only adds stress, worry, and financial hardship. @Gardner Barnes That sucks, I’m sorry y’all are going through that. I hope she is feeling better. And that y’all are safe/healthy as well. No doubt it is real. I am just trying to find some hope in this current situation I’m seeing DAILY here in queens: 1) almost every outdoor restaurant/bar packed with people not of the same household at almost all the tables 2) for hours, usually around 2 or 3pm until close late at night 3) table groups not 6ft apart But instead right up next to each other like normal times 4) no masks on the patrons while they’re chillin which would be understandable if the stuff above was not happening 5) the tables themselves straddle the sidewalk so any pedestrians doing normal shit have to walk in between massive amounts of drunk, yelling, unmasked folk 6) the pedestrians themselves sometimes don’t wear masks (which is fine) but they come within inches of tables were no one is wearing any masks Nyc rates of cases, hospitalizations, deaths, etc have all fallen and while people are good about wearing masks when appropriate and distancing in general, it is a fucking SHITSHOW when it comes to the outdoor hospitality industry. I really really hope we aren’t fucking this up but I guess we’ll know in a week or so since we hit phase three on the 22 or the 29 (The days are kind of bleeding together).
  25. love your avatar but respectfully disagree. first off, not sure they'd push the nfl season that late. second, wknds with marquee NBA games on Friday and Sunday nights, full set of NCAAF games on Saturday, with mixed in NCAAB would be bad ass. If you did add in the NFL, coupled with the lead up to the NBA playoffs and March Madness, you'd have some epic betting, drinking, partying days and nights; thursday evening to Sunday night would be around 72 hours of straight sports insanity. After losing a year's worth of holidays, i think people would gladly rage every wknd in the spring to summer. Easily. Especially if this 4th of July is any indication; people here have a tiny taste of security from the Bug and its fucking pandemonium.
