Anyone who has lots of time on their hands, :fm:.

It is worthwhile going back from page one of this and how far we have come in < 2 months. It makes for what could be a sort of social media diary timeline.

There is some good stuff, some comedy gold and then there is this.

Make a list of food supplies like condiments and spices.
Know who you are going to eat first after becoming a zombie.
Or before.
Whatever.

It's a very tough call, it's certainly not a "wtf morons" decision.

No, it’s not a tough call.

You bus them.

They are headed for worse than Wuhan, they are all traveling around. You blow the bridges, and you do it now.

What makes a bus better than a subway?

I knew there must be something obvious I was missing.

Eat. Sleep. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.

Nobody remembers exactly how it started: Maybe it was China. Maybe someone in Denver touched their face. It no longer matters.

There are rumors a place called Costco might be getting shipments of items to keep your hands or butthole clean. A journey may have to be made. Oddly, there is still enough gasoline.

Some are saying a certain "President Trump" wants to open the country up again by Easter. Whenever that is. All I know is, there's no way there is a shady real-estate-developer-turned-reality-TV-star as president. These rumors must be unfounded. There's a lot of that going around.

An old rancher-type guy, back bent from a life of hard labor, a stranger in these parts, said to me at the local scavenger shop "I think I'm lost." We all are, fella. We all are.

I would assume generally keeping away from other people is pretty easy right now on both buses and trains in NYC. They've got to be operating way under capacity. Yes, transit is still a nice vector to spread the virus around, but I really don't see what the alternative is.

I spent the day texting my fancy NYC photog friend. He gets to photograph presidents. Naturally hates trump, photographed him 3 x he says. Is filled with conspiracy theories. I tried to be nice , agreed with him on a lot, but kept asking him who else? Who else is fucking up?

I have my answer now.

Fauci is raising the alarm on NYC. We need to call in the Chinese to run that shit hole.

A jetliner with no one on it must be a blast to fly.

Well, ironically, it's a pretty safe place to be right now, along with airports. Nobody is there. Just wipe down poles.

Well, it's a shit ton lighter, but, the actual flying must be the same. Doors still secure, computers doing most of the work.

I jokingly proposed a contest for the first Mag to get CV19. Are you the winner? I missed your original post.
