Brooklyn 3.0

Mass transit isn't closed here. Just reduced. And you are cautious with restaurants because you are opening your mouth.

Who cares if you're dead?

Sweden seems to have done GREAT with handling this. That would be weird if we did social distancing 24/7/365. What would normal flu numbers look like?

If I was Brooklyn Decker I wouldn't be able to type because my hands would be on my boobs. That said, I did say more than you. Seriously, you'll like the TB. It's all debate all the time.

I'm calling you out for your inability to take all the political talk to the Tinderbox. Are you that dense? You want to talk sports? Cool. The latest reports on numbers? Cool. How it's effecting you locally? That's what this thread is for. You DO know what/where the TB is, yes?

Dearest Mod, Please send philit and the rest to the nearest exit ramp to the Tinder Box Corona thread. kthnx! In other news ... Interesting.

And shockingly it's not all just whites being racist this go around.

NYC starting hydroxychloroquine trials.

The FDA is just too stubborn.

They put busses and the subway on reduced run. This, of course, meant more packed cars during rush hour though. But for the most part people have been staying at home and not using mass transit. With only essential places open, there's not much to go out and do really. Parks, bars, theaters, stores have been closed, etc. Everyone in my neighborhood wears a mask. Yes, we're dense, but we're doing what we have to do. Even with 8.5 million, we still have a high percentage per capita though. The worst infected areas (according to a released map) are mostly in Orthodox Jewish (same communities that spread the massive measles outbreak last year) and poorer areas of the Bronx, Queens, and here in Brooklyn. No idea why that is, but it is. Other than the Orthodox Jews who have their own agenda, everyone gets the same news and knows what's up. Just stay home! The governor made it law that no one can get evicted for 90 days.

Talk all you want about the virus. Leave the page after page of president/administration bickering in the TB. There is a virus thread for you there.

Take this to the TB.

Masks are WAYYYYY more needed than money.

Yeah, "no" to all of it. Both times. China will not get any retaliation just because coronavirus originated in their country. And as I said in another post, social interaction is a big part of school. There, I discussed it.

All kids need social interaction. Homeschooled kids are oddballs. There are far more positives in sending them to school.

No.

No.

@PhillyB

Hope they pass them out because there sure aren't any to be found around here, lol.

It's just like the flu shot ... it doesn't make you immune. Having a virus doesn't make you some super soldier who can't get it again.

Stirs DOES know this isn't just an old person disease right? Surely he does.

Over 2000 dead now. Approaching 9/11 numbers.
