Di Blazio is now

Encouraging people to report others who violate the social distancing rule....

So, it seems he is taking his direction from Himmler's play book. Is the NYPD going to become the Gestapo?

That's how it's been all along -- NYC is a communist dictatorship.

One thing for sure, how many of us would want to trade where we reside now to go live in NYC under the virus conditions that are there. I feel sorry for all that reside there as times are certainly trying for them...I wish them well.

[Vern Humphrey]

I wouldn't live there BEFORE this virus hit.

If people insist on doing things that will increase infections, then I'm okay with it so long as they don't pass it onto the unwilling or demand others put themselves at risk to treat them.

For the entire history of the country, long before Communism became a thing, public health emergencies were recognized as a real contingency. But now for a certain slice of the population, fake emergencies are real and real emergencies are fake.

Our republic, if we can keep it.

Someone coined the term 'covidiots'. Might stick.

Normally Togor makes sense too. Well, is normally readable. Maybe it's Corvid syndrome.

So dryheat, Billy Bob goes to a Covid rally and five days later, feeling fine, drops some stuff off and mom & dad's. A few days after that BB shows symptoms, and later mom or dad get it bad. Mom and dad were laying low successfully but now they have it (unwillingly) thanks to BB. If someone plans to get it themselves, fine. Don't give it to anyone else, don't be sloppy about it, and don't ask anyone else to stick their neck out for you.

Best thing Billy Bob can do for society is to ensure he, and his family have a DNR in place when they go to the hospital.

I'll bet he's ASTOUNDED when Santa Clause comes at Christmas, too. Whoda thunkit?

[dryheat]

Naw. He knows Santa is coming. The Easter Bunny too.

Have been to NYC numerous times. Fine place. Lots to see and do. Like any other major city, if you want to focus on garbage, it's there. You'll see it if you go looking for it. If you want to focus on other better things, it's there. Again, you'll see it if you go looking for it.

From what I've been able to find out, Covid 19 is a novel virus, i.e., new, not before experienced. At some point, everyone will have to deal with it. Hopefully a vaccine will soon be developed and made available for use. Hopefully it will be like the polio vaccine, i.e., provided without charge to everyone in every community on a large scale. That would be the best way to get things back to normal. The dumbest way ... would be to require everyone to go to their own doctor or local health clinic by appointment, etc., etc., etc.

Sooner than later, everyone will adapt to what will likely be the reality of a post-Covid 19 pandemic world. Like other viruses, it will likely still exist in one form or another, same as influenza, etc. We will all adapt. It's just what people do. They change to deal with reality ... and they get on with life. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.

When my youngest daughter was working on her Doctorate in Physical Therapy, the course included "clinicals" -- where she would work as a physical therapist (under supervision, of course.) The people running the course would assign the jobs. For six weeks she worked in a public school in NYC.

A guard would meet her at the door and escort her to the therapy room. She would be locked in. A little later, the guard would knock, unlock the door, and usher in her first patient -- and lock the door again.

WAIT A MINUTE! Locking doors in a Public School? That's illegal -- fire hazard.

But in NYC schools, there is a worse hazard than fire.

Us "Oldsters" remember the scourge of polio, swimming pools closed at certain times of the summer.
