trolling? or do you believe this^^^?

for your consideration, take it or leave it, i don't care. it's more of a point of reference for future hindsight i don't believe much of anything these days, just considering more sources of info than most. i'm getting a lot of china news from my swiss friend living in china for the last 10 years and currently exiled/quarantined in the maldives. usually he's about as leftist as you guys but lately he seems way more rightwing than usual. go figure.

IMO, it’s the density, the stress people are under there, the air quality and the subways/busses/elevators/tight grocery stores. Mainly the density. It’s a dirty fucking city with people on top of one another. I rode the subways and lived there for 6 years and I’m not a germaphobe but I was disgusted! Subway rides to and from home were awful during rush hour. Sometimes I’d be pressed so tight against the mass of people in the subway cars, I thought I was going to have a panic attack. There were weeks on end when this could have been passed around just on the subways themselves. Not to mention tight elevators, tight stores and restaurants with no room between tables.

Agreed. Also lived in NYC for 6ys before retreating to the 'burbs. NYC is a filthy & disgusting hive of villainy and scum - no wonder dummy profane thinks it's the greatest. Constant rat race living packed in like rats is no way for humans to live, especially when one has to be comparatively over employed or trust funded in order to live in NYC in any sort comfort. Subways are the worst. I call it 'going down into the sewers'.

This guy thinks he is a law unto himself. Also refuses to enforce gun laws.

Franklin County Sheriff Will ‘Defy’ Some of Inslee’s ‘Orders’

Feel free to compare and contrast with law enforcement agencies & elected officials who refuse to enforce immigration laws. Won't even go into states that allow the sale of pot, in spite of federal laws.

Just so I can form some cliff notes for my memory, you are all for it when cops and politicians ignore drug and immigration laws, but think it's REALLY bad if/when a LEO ignores a gun law (that may or may not even be Constitutional)? Interesting.

How dare you. Karen refuses to believe the virus is prevalent in the community.

But for another data point, try this one.
https://www.boston25news.com/news/cd...CUAARBO4YWO64/

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now “actively looking into” results from universal COVID-19 testing at Pine Street Inn homeless shelter.
The broad-scale testing took place at the shelter in Boston’s South End a week and a half ago because of a small cluster of cases there.
Of the 397 people tested, 146 people tested positive. Not a single one had any symptoms.

One was hospitalized later.
But the point being the shit is out there. No amount of panic can put the genie back in the bottle.

There is a way we could identify more patients who have Covid pneumonia sooner and treat them more effectively — and it would not require waiting for a coronavirus test at a hospital or doctor’s office. It requires detecting silent hypoxia early through a common medical device that can be purchased without a prescription at most pharmacies: a pulse oximeter.

Or Hong Kong population 7.5 million with 1,000 cases and 4 deaths. New York could be down to bad luck. Airports with lots of international travelers, some super-spreaders, no tests and no quarantines during the critical early stages leads to a calamity.


Hong Kong, the semi-autonomous city took the route that the World Health Organization recommends and embarked on a rigorous program of testing everyone with symptoms. Those who tested positive were quarantined in hospital. All their contacts over recent days were traced and instructed to self-isolate. In early March, about 400 outpatients and 600 inpatients were being tested every day.

Strict controls were brought in at the borders. Anyone arriving from mainland China or a country with Covid-19 cases was required to go into quarantine for 14 days. Holiday camps and new but unoccupied housing estates were turned into quarantine facilities. Schools were closed and people were encouraged to work from home if they were able to.

Hong Kong has not had a rigid lockdown. Although people were not required to stay at home, they chose to change their behavior.

FWIW, Sweden also aggressively tested and quarantined people entering the country.

You knew Jonas? Great guy! He was always making time for me. When he passed back in 95, I was gone- up north running Western States. I was deeply saddened when I returned and heard the news. Me and my buddy Carol (librarian at the Salk) seemed to be the only people there who gave a shit.

No, just part of a bad joke. My only connection to Dr. Salk was a shot in the arm. My apologies to you and anyone else here who actually knew him.
