NY is just a tough nut and should really be viewed in isolation in terms of how to deal with it.
I HATE that the subways are running. I've said that from among my first few posts in this thread - they are pretty much a worst case scenario for spread and I don't see any way you could pay me enough to be on one right now. But I also understand that NY has one of the largest populations of healthcare workers in the country and many people there simply don't have vehicles. How the hell are they supposed to get to work? Stores? I hate that they're open...but I understand that they may be necessary evils. And everyone lives in apartments and green space is limited and its crowded as hell and on and on and on. NY is an AWFUL environment for this thing and I'm not sure there's any such thing as a right answer. It's a busybody city (the energy there is unlike anything I've ever experienced) so putting them on lockdown immediately wasn't reasonable either because again - you have a clock on that cauldron. I don't envy anyone involved in decision-making for NYC right now. Like I said, I'll defer completely to what their leadership on the ground wants to do and I would provide them support from a federal level to whatever extent possible. But I don't think it's reasonable to make wholesale policy decisions for the rest of the country based on what could happen there. NY is just uniquely ****ed in this situation and they were always destined to be. |

As to the rest? Uber, walk, ride a bike. Have the city/state arrange for taxis and limos to only transport healthcare workers in pools. Again, surely they have to have a plan for this. |

Weird reporting today. Usually NY has some numbers in by now even if they aren't from NYC.

I did a shitload of yard work this weekend, we got our bedroom and bathroom painted.
Now I've got some brush to clean out. My dad freaked out on me cause he doesn't trust me with a chainsaw. I've used a chainsaw around him since I was like 15. I grew up in the country I know what i'm doing. The ER doctor that sewed up my leg yesterday said he'd never seen a chainsaw cut that clean, so yeah, I can handle it. |

What would a home game be? What would an away game be? It'd be a fake season and a lot of other fans would feel the same way. Wait it out. With internet there's plenty of ways to entertain ourselves for a month or two. |

I'm kidding about cutting my leg. But I did cut some stuff, got a lot more to go this week.
It's nice to live out in the country on land. I built the kids a homemade golf course in the yard so that's kept them busy. |
