Have you tried google before?

Yeah, this has not worked for me with my sunglasses.

Anyone had any Domaines Lupier?
I have found the 2016 El Terroir for 21.40 a bottle and the 2015 La Dama for 49. I am probably going to get both, but wanted to see if anyone has had it and has views either way.

This does not surprise me. I think the airlines would be smart to put in instant testing like Emirates has done. But, if countries require folks entering to quarantine for two weeks (if you have an instant test that is negative before getting onto the flight or when entering the country, I would think that requirement could be waived), then I would see most foregoing travel until that requirement is no longer there.

I just watched the movie, so now I'm going to start the series. So fucking funny.

My question was whether I read the current status of quarantine correctly. If I did read it correctly then my comment about a no-go was my own presumption that it likely would not be lifted by July.I would hold off making any absolute assumptions until about a month before you are supposed to leave. Latest I would leave it would be 2 weeks before.

@PenelopeWitherspoon I read a few articles with quotes from various people in power - there probably won't be any more stimulus checks. Seems like many people could use those checks, given that things are not going to stabilize for at least a few more months.
WSJ has an article that states that House Democrats are nearing a plan. Now, that does not mean one will come, but I am hearing up to 2k payments. I have also heard that the Republican plan is for tax cuts. Most of that was from yesterday.

As my Louis always said, “Think big, think positive, never show any sign of weakness. Always go for the throat. Buy low, sell high. Fear? That's the other guy's problem. Nothing you have ever experienced will prepare you for the unlimited carnage you are about to witness. Superbowl, World Series - they don't know what pressure is. In this building, it's either kill or be killed. You make no friends in the pits and you take no prisoners. One moment you're up half a mil in soybeans and the next, boom, your kids don't go to college and they've repossessed your Bentley. Are you with me?”
Seriously, stocks have been completely disconnected from reality. I’m not sure what to think.-

There's no way there's a solution for this... Oh wait, 1st Google result:
https://www.bioworld.com/articles/434446-mass-fever-scanner-could-reduce-spread-of-covid-19
If your next response is going to be "but we can't fucking afford that" .. Please, just spare us
So let's say you put that in place. How are you going to get the person who trips it out, safely? You going to depend on the MTA cops to do this?

Now you're just being argumentative. The places successfully fighting back the spread are checking for fevers. It's way cheaper, easier, and faster. Lots of folks out there that would know better than you are I seem to believe asymptomatic folks are less contagious.
How about this. They cannot even fucking make sure people pay their fares. How the hell are they going to afford to pay enough people to be posted at EVERY subway station to check fucking temperatures.

I figuring that it would be easier to take temp checks with busses than a subway, but I'm probably wrong.

Temp checks don't mean anything with asymptomatic cases.

And yet, multiple people continuing to mention it. They honestly have zero fucking clue. Sigh.Wrong. And it sounds dumber and dumber each time an ignorant repeats this idiocy. It would have to be a helluva lot more deadly, contagious, or both for subways to shut down completely until the disease was handled.
The number of dead from the disease would have to be more than the expected dead from starvation, rioting, grocery store break ins, mass exodus from the city, etc.-

And another person that has no fucking clue. You do know that a significant amount of people who live in New York.City do not own a car? If you do, you are going to pay to park, which if you are just barely making ends meet, you cannot afford.If they are essential, then make arrangements. Use empty school busses, city busses. Uber Lyft. Not a Petri dish. Roads are wide open too. No traffic. If the subway was to be used, it should have been medical personnel only and social distancing strictly enforced. Not become another homeless shelter. I’m sure a lot of these decisions are because they were broke before and that has only gotten worse during the crisis.
Decisions like this are why there are so many deaths there compared to everywhere else. The reasons are becoming quite clear:
1 million subway rides a day (during lockdown) and sending the virus directly to nursing homes (nearly 5k of the total)
The subway should have been shutdown. You really can’t argue otherwise. The exponential death toll out front should have told ya.

Honesty not understanding the tax anger. Offer incredible amount/rate to foreign workers that is much higher than their normal pay, they come and perform an admirable job, they get taxed for work performed like anyone else. It’s not like they Were not given proper remuneration for services completed. Now if the contracts said you won’t get taxed and now they are, that’s one thing but is there a link to that?
Sports players Are paid different rates for all the cities they play in, How is this a novel concept for people on this board?
There are a lot of things on this board that have really surprised me lately. I think a lot of people live in their little isolated bubble and have no clue how the world actually works.

The interesting thing is that we are developing a vaccine for an RNA virus which truly uses more modern technology than we ever have before.
It appears that the safety profile of these can be relatively beneficial vs older ways of vaccine development and production can be ramped up quickly.However, it is perplexing that you could create a vaccine and test it against placebo using challenge trials of exposing test patients to Covid. Of course this gives us the most accurate scientific data but is extremely ethically challenging.
And sometimes good safety data does not come until post marketing after the medicine/vaccine has been approved.
If somebody is going to actually run a challenge trial and purposely expose these test subjects to Covid then I think there should be some type of significant benefit whether that be monetary or some other reward for the people in the testing group.
In a trial, can't you control the virus load? Also, as it seems that some people are genetically predisposed to worse cases, those people cannot be part of the study. As many have said, genetics and virus load are probably the two things that contribute most to this being worse in some patients vs. others. If you are in a controlled test environment, I would argue you should be able to control that.

Yeah, they aren't even discussing that in Congress from what I can tell, so I have my doubts if we will see another one, especially since many people haven't even received the first. If they started right now, they'd be able to get checks out at the end of May or early June.
House is going to start talking about one.

I for one think New York and New Jersey should just keep the fuck on with their stellar performance. And not change a thing.
You are such a cunt. I generally ignore you, but your willfull ignorance of reality is absolutely spectacular. If you do not have a pot to piss in already, how the fuck are you going to pay for alternative transport? You do realize busses and subways are highly subsidized for the working poor, right? Hell, I think they might even be free for essential workers at this point in time.
Stop public transport, and medical workers, grocery workers, policemen, firemen, EMS workers would not be able to get to work. You are honestly so fucking ignorant of reality, it is honestly amazing that you can function in society.

My mask is snug over my nose, but you still have issues. And I have never found the antifog scuba stuff to work well. I used to have it for my swim goggles when I was on swim team, and it was ok, but I found other things that worked better. However, goggles =/ sunglasses, and licking the inside of swim goggles is not something you can do with sunglasses.
It is only going to get worse as it gets hotter/more humid. Hell, I imagine wearing a mask outside is going to be downright unbearable in the summer.
