    My city banned dine in eating today.
    Restaurants are my city's bread and butter. It's a foodie city. There are almost 200 restaurants within like a 10 block area.

    I keep thinking about this sweet indian couple, they own a little mom and pop indian restaurant and we became friendly during the 2016 election because they're huge Bernie supporters haha. I was planning to have lunch there this week. Hope they survive it

    Hi I'm from Brooklyn NY
    I seen plane 2 crash into the North tower
    It was hard to buy bread
    told not to go outside
    building smoke and dust
    Anthrax or biochemical terrorism
    Muslims was scared like Asians are now
    I wanted to help and probably
    have cancer because of buckets
    I quit because of the horrible things I seen
    I thought I was gangster and I cried like a baby
    I did work through it for a few weeks
    but the smell got worse
    I am vulnerable I have diabetes
    and respiratory scaring from 911
    However I am healthy
    I am worried for the first time since 911
    Not so much myself but others
    Subways be empty but I dont ride them anyway
    First it was a few Asian restaurants and now bars are closed
    In Brooklyn we were back to normal in a week after 911
    Gasoline was hard to get but food was plenty
    Manhattan was a no go unless you had permission
    This will go on longer as many Conrona cases are already here
    Our everyday lives here is touching things
    People spit on the ground you step on that and carry it around
    Sneeze and the mist is in the air for time unknown
    That is not to scare that is the truth
    My office is near empty
    shifting home and splitting up
    I dont know those in other places felt the impact of 911
    like shortage of breads
    And with the hell is with the toilet paper?
    Some niggas was never poor
    buy soap and a washrag smdh
    Here again at ground zero
    I wish all my new friend here the best
    This too shall pass

    Oh sweet
    My work sent out an email that they're offering 10 days of Pandemic PTO to anyone who needs it.

    They're also offering 10 paid days of childcare through Care.com

    Damn i'm grateful to work where I work

    From what I saw yesterday, gloves, medicine, pills, chemotherapy stuff. They're deliveries for aged care centres because the commercialised courier services has been abandoned so we are using our private enterprise to pick up the slack and deliver the supplies to the people that need them. :)

    Changed my tune once I saw this

    Breadth of concomitant immune responses prior to patient recovery: a case report of non-severe COVID-19

    Influenza antibodies attacking Sars-CoV-2 they have never seen before because it's very similar, and about 5 days in when you are only barely showing symptoms. It is just another type of cold as it is a coronavirus, it is just another type of flu as it is similar

    Just comes down to how well your immune system is working in the first place

    These lockdowns aren't about defeating the disease, but a lot of people will think that's what they are for. They are just about governments not getting hospitals swamped with a certain amount of people in a certain time frame

    ....at a sacrifice to the economy that may be too great. And once people work this out, shit may hit the fan

    May normalise down to 2,3 times worse than seasonal flu, but at 1/2 million deaths a year from that, still mean s 1-2 million deaths worldwide from this

    And kids are the superspreaders, they need to be in school so they build up immunity from influenza they get from the other kids

    Short version: yeah, we are fucked

    Our health Minister was on the tv this morning:

    - bat virus could last 6 months ( which really means forever)

    - no plans for a nationwide shutdown ( because we so don't have enough police or soldiers anyway, and fuck paying for that

    - keep your kids in school ( so the little snot monsters don't infect everyone else)

    - restricted access to age care ( lock up the Boomers, I said that like a week ago, didn't I say that like a week ago? )

    I'm all good. I'll be a whole lot better without a government cheque in my hands. I bring home good money and I'm still working. :)

    I will transfer it to you. :)

    The only thing I can see myself buying for a 1000$ when in lock down would be a high class escort for an hour if one is still working. :p
