I've blocked our Mayor's nightly call ferchrissakes...self promotion is coming in to play now...

Self promotion or self preservation?

From what I see here, the more I think this is going to get worse before it gets any better.

Self promotion or self preservation?

You'll figure it out

24,000 cases in the US,12000 are in NYS and half of those are in NYC?

Roccus, (and maybe Chinacat),
AFAIK, SW Suffolk and SE Nassau County have had no toilet paper and no sanitizers, not even aloe or alcohol in any grocery stores or pharmacies for at least 10 days. Haven't seen paper towels or even Cheerios lately either. Was it different out east and "up there?" (Until the citidiots got there?) Friends think I am joking but I have been letting wife and son use the Scots and for the most "part", I have been using Newsday. https://www.ehow.com/how_8610665_turn-newspaper-toilet-paper.html

First, I'd like to applaud your "proper" use of, and commentary on Newsday!! (y) (y) (y)(y)

Yes, it was pretty much "normal" up here until the Barbarian Citidiot Hordes descended upon us, which began the end of last week. Maybe you couldn't find your favorite brand of TP or sanitizer, but there was always something on the shelves.

FWIW, there's no shortage of gasoline right now and I'm loving the sub-$2 per gallon prices.

I did find in humorous when he said, "In this war ventilators are like missiles in WWII." Last time I looked, the folks with missiles lost WWII...

Yes, but I would expect them to have a basic grasp of American and World History. Since Cuomo grew up during the Space Race, he should know that Vernher von Braun and the rest of his Huntsville Missile Boys were eating spaetzle mit der schnitzels, not grits...

Cheap gas and nowhere to go lol. Kind of ironic. Might take a ride to my brothers in about a week for a change of scenery. If none of us have symptoms.

I was at a meeting for work in Baltimore last Monday-Wednesday. This coming Wednesday makes 14 days. Hoping I’m fine.

If a business believes it is essential, but is not listed above, it may [request being added to an exempt list]('https://esd.ny.gov/sites/default/files/Request%20for%20Designation%20Form_0.pdf'). Any single-employee business, like gas stations, are exempt automatically, and do not need to request an exemption.

Even if a business is deemed essential, it is still requested that all employees engage in social distancing.

While houses of worship were not ordered to be closed, but it was strongly suggested by the state that no congregant services be held and social distancing maintained.

If you listen to bill deblassio you will be convinced its the end of the world.

He does not have the ability to speak rationally.

Its almost like he is trying to cause panic.

Asshole.

40%-80% will get it...c’mon. Sounds like we’re all going to get it. Social Separation just away to slow it down to not overload the hospitals! Too late...
