Coronavirus (Covid-19) Discussion

@Giles don't you believe it! As one of lf American cousins pointed out, less police prescence means more opportunism. Elders will still be active, its the kids that run the drugs that are being kept off the streets by parents that are more present.

You can be certain that the elders will be thinking up creative new ways of carrying out business, just as we all are. The fact that couriers aren't requiring signatures, for example, provides opportunity to move stuff around less hindered. They are clever fer's.

Yep, we had a local druggie throwing up outside the office a few days ago.  Pretty sure his supply has dried up…

@Graeme:

Something I haven't seen in weeks. :o

Bog roll stock seems to be coming back to normal here. It still sells out but I can go into grocery stores now and see full shelves.

Watching their kids my ass. There was just a video posted of a bunch of teenagers on the upper west side of manhattan moving as a crowd jumping on cars and rushing into a building for I don’t know what. 20-30 kids

While I don’t think they’re dealing drugs it’s clear NYC doesn’t have a grip on things.

The said wearing a mask would keep me from getting sick

Sure it wasn't someone after his 21 oz fix?

Hmmm… not sure if looking like a bat is a good idea, they are a bit discredited these days...

I believe the source of coronavirus is from pangolins.

Not exactly the bats fault

Bats-> Pangolins -> Cats/dogs -> People

It's still unclear from which animal it came.  But bats and pangolins seem to be leading contenders.

Just ordered a face mask from Etsy. Was just thinking how cool it would be to have an Optimus Prime face mask [emoji41]

I bought a camo face mask with a filter pocket. I’m gonna head to the auto parts store tomorrow and buy some poly hydro knit shop towels to use as filters. There are several articles online suggesting that the shop towels work great at filtering

FYI, I’m not suggesting that the shop towels prevent anyone from getting Covid-19 either, nor are the people quoted in the article I linked.
