It probably would've been better to host Burning Man in the desert and just make everyone that attended stay 2 more weeks in case of any spread. Would they have complained about 3 weeks of Burning Man?

do ya think there might be some slight differences between 'restaurants' and 'gyms' upstate and other places and those in the city? :rolleyes: |

After almost four months of daily average deaths above 1,000, things finally started to improve in Brazil. It’s slowly falling and now its at 800s.
Overall, Covid has killed 128,000 people in Brazil since March. |

keeping in mind the nypost is a trash rag ... otoh it is via a siena poll, so:
Nearly half of NYC’s top earners have considered fleeing the city: poll By Lia EustachewichSeptember 16, 2020 | 12:03pm | Updated Nearly half of New York City residents earning six figures or more have considered fleeing the Big Apple during the coronavirus crisis over cost of living concerns, according to a new poll. Researchers with the Siena College Research Institute and Manhattan Institute surveyed 782 city dwellers making $100,000 or more about life in the age of COVID-19. In results released Wednesday, the survey, conducted between July 13 and August 3, found that 44 percent have thought of leaving the city in the past four months, with 69 percent citing cost of reason as the main reason to move. Quality of life in the city that never sleeps has taken a hit, too, during the pandemic. Just under 4 in 10 respondents said quality of life is now “excellent or good” — a plunge from 79 percent who felt that way pre-coronavirus. And it could be because many feel like there’s no end in sight — nearly 7 in 10 polled believe it “will take longer than a year” for life to return to normal. more: https://nypost.com/2020/09/16/nearly...locating-poll/ |
Its ok if they leave and some decline in housing prices. Will just provide opportunity for the future masses to get into the city life/housing market. If anything, way overdue.
Covid-19.... providing housing opportunities for expensive cities since March 2020. Rents dropped almost 5% too which might not seem like a lot, but can make the difference for some folks. Vacancies are up too. On a side note, maybe it could force the city to be a little competitive and come up with solutions to mitigate cost and keep/retain folks. Not that the city isn't competitive, but the leaching of folks year by year due to cost of living is something that, from a tax basis, hurts the city. |

Looks like the air quality is improving up there. Onshore flow blowing the smoke back east and much cooler temps. Same onshore flow starts down here by weekend as low approaches. Norcal and Oregon/Wash. might even get some welcome showers. |
Teachers don’t want to return to classrooms for the same reason most people don’t want to return to work. Commuting sucks, working from home is more comfortable, and you get to spend the day in sweatpants (and a proper shirt for calls). It has nothing at all to do with safety.

^^ A dictionary definition of obviously wrong...
Many teachers without question are very concerned about safety, for themselves and who they spread it to. |
Safety is paramount. They are dealing with screaming kids that use the bathroom and than scream and put their hands in their mouths without washing or if they do, they run a little water and pretend they wash. Little kids... next to mosquitoes, are vectors of disease.
Teachers are at high risk. But second on the remote working, it is comfortable. |
Looks like NYC is getting back into its rhythm. Way busier, way busier. And the Jesus people with the signs are back.
That's how you know we are returning to normalcy, when the Jesus people are out. Via live cams: https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/busin...f8e8e27e4.jpeg |

I figured this was inevitable when I read they were reopening pubs. I think it should be clear by now that we can open much of society as long as we DON'T open indoor bars and restaurants that serve alcohol. |

Yeah, I still don't understand why restaurants/bars aren't just being paid not to have indoor dining. It's got to be cheaper overall than prolonging the pandemic. And some restaurants need to learn how to put a tent up over tables so that they can still function outdoors with some light rain... |
Bars that serve alcohol alone are still closed here but restaurants with bars are open and people need that outlet. I think most are at their wits end having to social distance, wear a mask everywhere and expect to this to be the new 'normal' indefinitely.
|
A lot of people are dimwits, which is compounded by a remarkable lack of public education.
|
I’m sick of people wearing masks incorrectly.
Having it covering your mouth but not your nose is NOT THE CORRECT WAY to do it here, folks. Might as well just not wear it at all |

No one is going to be a drone bee and commute to the office and back home every day without hospitality venues open. The very fucking obvious answer is different rules based on risk. You cannot possibly find the right balance of economic activity and protection against the virus if you insist on treating everyone equally. |
