Today I took a walk and there were people sitting in the nearby mall parking lot in folding chairs. Keeping people couped up this long is going to have its own negative effects.
Whole mess and way it is being handled is taking a toll in various ways, many of them negative.

That article had me in stitches. lol.

“They were playing Vanessa Carlton’s ‘A Thousand Miles’ on the keyboard, but they kept getting the notes wrong,” Bushwick’s Carson Mlnarik, 24, tells WYNC.

My neighbor has been hammering something for the last few days and it's starting to grate. He's not all that handy (judging by the curse words he's been spewing) and I wish he'd just give up and watch TV like the rest of us.

I went for my walk yesterday and it was sad to see all the people there peering at the flowers (you could smell the fragrance half a block away) in the Queens Botanical Gardens with their faces pressed against the gate. Some were even taking pictures through the gate. I wish they would open up the gardens. We'll have masks on and social distance. It's big enough. Give us a chance!

Since school is out and done with Zoom now here, my 4 yr old boy has been cooped up in here with us all day. My downstairs neighbors are normally cool, but they have one crazy lady with them who is very sensitive at anything.
We try to go outside but the weather is still meh most of the time still.

The floors are super old and creaky too, which even bothers me. Even on carpet, it doesn't stop the squeaking so we ninja around our apartment the best we can.

I am really considering new flooring but it looks like a super undertaking, and expensive, and not even sure if the coop will allow it. Anyone else have ideas on how to mitigate squeaky floors?

Me too. I've been hoping my neighbor will get coronavirus so then I can have two weeks of quietness from him. Now before anyone says anything I'm not evil, I don't want him to die. I just want quietness for a while.

Maybe watching "Stranger Things" doesn't cut it for him?

Who knows, he may be building a homebound dungeon.

I'm pretty sure "I wish xx got Corona" is a popular sentiment.

Being stuck indoors in NYC is like being in jail. You pay for the privilege of having NYC as your living room, backyard, and lounge. Not having access to these services means being in jail in smaller living quarters compared to being elsewhere.

I sure wouldn't pay $3k+ just to live in a 14th floor apt and seeing empty streets and no more nightlife. The way out is simply move out as many are doing so with flexible work from home options.
