Guys, I think I'm losing it, lol.
I can't keep living like this. Other than going for weekend drives (when it's not freaking raining on weekends), my entire life routine is just off (as I'm sure everyone's is), and cabin fever is becoming a constant irritation. I just realized today I can't even go get a haircut for god knows when. How are you guys holding up with this crap. There's only so many times I can go walk the dog, go for a hike, go for a drive, and get groceries. My dog is literally giving me the "PLEASE STOP TAKING ME FOR WALKS" face. Rego Park Costco? Man great to see so many Queens peeps here! |

I too I'm so bored as well. Just bought a Pelaton to keep me exercising. Also thinking of buying a Xbox so I can play F1... FYI not a previous gamer at all. Feels like I'm spending more these days, guess I'm doing my part to keep the economy rolling 😂

That was the one thing I enjoyed at the end of the work day, working from home thanks to Covid. Luckily I live in a area where I can still do my daily jog and walk the dog without coming across too many people, so there's that, but not driving the M aimlessly or just getting in a car and going somewhere is going to suck! Now life is really about to suck. |

What's pretty crazy is even once this is all "over", the concern is a potential "flare up", where it basically just takes ONE person to infect a bunch of people all over again. FFS! |

No question that the lack of traffic has seemingly given drivers a false sense of entitlement to do whatever they want. Be safe out there!

I'm not particularly sure there is an immunity to it yet. I know there are reported people getting it twice. Which I think has to do with the virus mutating to target different receptors. A few weeks ago I was seeing the research say it targets the ACE-2 receptor, but has mutated to target 35 other receptors in different strains. I mention that it was a few weeks ago, because I don't know what the latest research is showing. But if it targets different receptors, bouncing between which it can find to infect, and mutating to target different onces, I'm not sure if/how a vaccine or immunity will work. I'm not a Dr, so don't take that as me saying "a vaccine won't work" but take it as a warning to be careful in getting back to normal after you perceive it to be over. I was thinking today that I will start getting back to a normal life after hospitals show me they can handle me if I get sick. However, that may be a stupid decision if there isn't a vaccine or immunity to it. I could let my guard down, get sick thinking that it will be okay, then find out that I'm stuck with it for life. It could be like HIV/AIDS, where there is no cure and can be spread without you being symptomatic. From the research side of it, there are papers showing pieces of HIV were spliced into SARS, which would be congruent with this behavior. Time will tell. Practice utmost safety until there is evidence you are clearly safe to catch it. |

People also forget the various subsequent "waves" we will be faced after the initial pandemic.
This is currently faced with Asian countries where they were suppose to be recovering. It will definitely be a year of this, for good or bad.

I also grudgingly got my first grocery delivery today, because I love being out, touching feeling my own produce and going to the grocery stores. But it wasnt so bad, stuff just showed up, I kept working. Think of how much we have reduced our carbon footprint recently (I'll keep my M2C purchase 3 months ago out of this). I think society and behavior will certainly shift for the better I miss eating out. I love food and its the highlight of my day when I can grab a meal at my favorite places, or try a new one. That part sucks, and a lot of the smaller places will not come out of the other end of this. Its going to be painful for a lot of folks, probably some pain felt by 90% or more, the longer it goes. Maybe it's the reset this planet needed? |

Oh, I just remembered an important part. Our previous mayor resigned. His home was raided by the FBI and 24hrs later he plead guilty to extorting and bribing business looking to work in the city. So we had a mad rush of people quickly campaigning to take over. |
