I pretty much post on the general NY state section. However, I am sure the following will apply to our current health crisis. Our area( southern tier..Chenango, Broome, Tioga, Chemung, Steuben, and Cortland counties) does not have a lot of the weekend/vacation retreats that are owned by downstaters/L.I./Philly/ and folks from N.J. The Catskills, Finger Lakes, Adks, and Hudson Valley get the overwhelming majority of these part-timers. Myself and others have noticed a recent influx to places that are owned by the folks mentioned above. Usually its ' a summer or fall thing...but one can't help but notice they are coming here with packed trucks, trailers, suv's. Early spring..used to be..about the low point for these weekend retreats to be occupied..but not this year. I'll assume they are now more of a " bugout" destination. And I am also pretty sure that this relocation will increase by the week till ?
If they own it and pay taxes on it, that’s their right.
Will it come to that? Most likely not. Can it? Yes.
Like I always say: I can afford the guns and ammo I buy, whether they’re used for fun, hunting or training for unlikely scenarios. So that’s what I will continue to do regardless of the odds of ever needing them to protect my family from whatever threat may arise. And should that threat be the Army which would certainly overwhelm me, I’ll do my best to kill a few of them before they kill us.
One question that I can't seem to find an answer for is this: Is it possible to get the coronavirus and never get sick from it, meaning you never show symptoms? This is a lot of information in support of the idea of a long incubation period and that it is being spread by asymptomatic people who have no idea they have it, but is it true that all of these asymptomatic people will eventually get sick, or has it been just passing through a great many of these people?
That was the original story, that 80% will have mild symptoms or be asymptomatic. Whether that was "feel-good" news, mostly spawned by Pollyannas like DJT, or actual fact remains to be seen. I would like to believe that symptoms will probably be mild, but I am afraid that is not likely.

Ironically, I am wearing my ACU pants today. Lol
But you can't shoot a virus, and if you get to sick to fight it was all in vain.
Hmm..believe we have talked before. I was Not in any way trying to draw a negative in my post. It was just an observation on what had been noticed locally. I might add that one of my neighbors ..a former NYC 'er.. is a now a good and close friend of mine. Another is also a former vet, and a 3rd from "down that way" is a serious gun guy...all good men in my book..
Agreed. And a few "business journals" have discussed how many Chinese workers, who live in other parts of the world, returned home for the New Years festivities, got infected, didn't know it (or DID they ), then went back to the countries where they work. They then infected the people in the areas where they work. This is supposedly why the infection rate is so high in Italy.
What I don't understand, however, is why there are so many cases in the middle east. I don't see that as an area where great numbers of people would be going in and out of there, on a regular basis, unless I underestimate how many people go to that area on "religious pilgrimages".
Depends on where you live.........
Places like iran , UAE and Qatar use Chinese laborers for construction projects.
New York City is just way too overcrowded.
I can see the exodus really accelerating when this is all over.
I agree, this is accelerating my plans to get out of here. I’m aiming for September or October. I knew when this virus hit here, it would get so bad. I was saying it back in January.

I feel this would be an issue/topic with major cities going forward. It is way too easy for a virus to spread like wild fire in one.
