This video deserves it's own thread.

Socially these people are above and beyond anything you can imagine. None of these people will be brought before a United States magistrate, ever.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the residents banging their pots and pans for the health workers.

I also LOVED LOVED LOVED the FF's cheering them on as well with their trucks and sirens!!!

They will cry anti Semitic attack and take up all the hospital beds. Hospitals should refuse to treat them.

I've seen buses completely packed. My coworker told me she got on the bus the other morning and it was crowded.

Oh, too bad about transit. Thank you! for the info. I won't take it anytime soon, then. Though I'm wondering how my place in Manhattan is doing (crossing fingers). I'm stuck here in Queens taking care of my mom. Good luck to you for having to take it! God bless. Be careful...

Yeah, I tried calling my gym and I think ISOL on any refunds. I have awful timing because I just renewed my membership just before all this hit the fan.

My brother and sister in law are both doctors. My texts to them are short and sweet. I don't want to bug them too much. Their terse replies tell me all the info I need to know... I pray for them daily.

This tiny grocery store that I just found yesterday still have reasonable prices but...a box of pasta originally $1.29 is now $2.99! Pshawww!
Do you have a CC to dispute it with? I had a flight to Europe that was canceled and I had to dispute it on my card because the airline was not refunding me. I got the money returned to me relatively quickly.

Yep, the trains are awful. Doesn't matter where you're coming from---most of my coworkers and I are finding them relatively full. But at least many people are wearing gloves and masks---I assume this upcoming week I will see most people wearing them after what was said. If you need to head into the city I would just try going off peak---not "rush hour" times.

No cleaning products at all.
Did you go on the weekend? I went on a weekday and in the afternoon.

I saw this previously, and I think it's been discussed before, but...

United States magistrate? For crowding together? This isn't a matter of federal law. And given that this is a religious funeral, a STRONG argument can be made that it's protected by the first amendment,

Now is it a bright idea to be doing this? No.

Anyone who gets on a subway car in NYC right now is mentally insane. I don’t care about your excuse.

100% Agree.

If I was still in Queens and still worked in Manhattan , I likely would be driving to work due to the low traffic, or resign.

That is what I've been saying. Mass transit including buses are a virus spreader. The leaders of NY are not
exercising good judgement here. Shut it down!
