I've learned:



Steer clear of:

these 3-finger gang sign hello's (like that "bro" in the pix)...
the yo-bro crowd
all guys who have that saggy-ass pants look
and those that call each other the (shhh) n-word.



run baby, run............


blech.

De Blasio, what the hell are you waiting for!!
The City Council has already told him to do it. By Monday he will give the order.

De Blasio’s legacy, destroyed utterly by a virus.

Airbnb is finished. Who wants to live in a building that lets strangers come in from wherever carrying more knows what diseases. You know those places are not properly cleaned between guests, either.

Shutdown.......

Airbnb and home-sharing apps need to be shutdown globally.

If we are going to go that route then Uber/Lyft might as well be sent out to pasture. When are the inside of those cars ever cleaned/disinfected between passengers

The fact is that shutting our flights to China early was key. Also this European flight ban will help too.

Europe, especially Italy, never closed their flights or borders. This is a large part of why they got infected so badly.

Time will tell. I hope im right. Sadly many hope .wrong just to prove the president's actions "weren't enough" smh.
Italy has a large percentage of people over the age of 60. One of the reasons I believe, and many analysts also speculate, is this higher average age is the reason the virus has been so devastating for them. They have a disproportionately higher death rate compared to the other countries that report high numbers of infections.

This is also the reason, some analysts speculate, that the death and severe infection rate is much lower in developing countries- like those throughout Africa and South/Central America, which have a much younger population. The average age in Nigeria is something like 19 or 20. In Italy, it’s 46. It’s possible that people in African countries aren’t getting tested but one would have to assume that if large numbers were getting sick, that would be reported (maybe not as confirmed cases but as suspected cases if testing wasn’t available).

We’ve already seen the statistics that this virus is particularly severe for the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. Just look at where all of the deaths thus far in the US have clustered: in a nursing home. Also consider the older you are, the more likely you are to have a health condition that compromises your immune system.
