Thanks for report. Bunch of EMS glassing the isthmus shoreline Saturday evening looking for a distressed sailboat. Never heard the outcome of that. Got nasty quick out there Saturday.

I sent you a PM

Still available?

If a cop jacks you up for not having a mask, argue that you were only there (doesn’t matter where) ‘trying to buy a mask’.

If you drive all the way to Wal mart and forget your mask, you can quickly turn whitey tighties into a mask.

Right Gill. Now is the time to get fresh air, vitamin D, stay off junk food, exercise, and get some good ol virus killing UV light. Be careful if you live in suburbs, but if like me, out in Jefferson County get outside and stay off crappy old eating habits. Cooping up is bad after an already cooped up winter.

If I know NYS, temporary quickly turns permanent.

We need re-education camps. We need state enforced curfews. We need to learn the difference between flossing and lifting. This is the new normal!

This is too far. Being in the sun and fresh air is the great protection and healthiest option.

I cannot believe the fat on that steak. If I didn't just buy a half a pig and had the freezer space I'd be buying. Looks great!

By the end of the year people will be sleeping in Wal-Mart on the shelves where the toilet paper use to be.

It honestly reads like a guy who has a retirement portfolio loaded to the gills with equities and was hoping to retire next year. Not a infectious disease Doctor smack dab in a major city with the onset of a novel virus, with no treatments, and zero understanding of what life is like after recovery.

You can fit more toilet paper in a trunk than a carry-on.

The response made perfect sense. He contradicted himself. Social distancing is important. He's alluding to the idea of panic leading to the dismissal of weddings and family gatherings as a fear based irrational response. That's stupid. Its perfectly rational to suspend gatherings. History tells us preemptive closures (especially schools, (hint) flu season begins when school starts and ends when school lets out) are the #1 thing you can do to prevent a 'hockey stick' infection rate graph pattern from forming thus overwhelming your hospital infrastructure, regardless of what state they are currently in. The only goal here is to flatten the curve. In 1918 San Fran closed everything during the onset of the second wave while the country became devastated by the flu. They went unscathed until they became complacent and the third wave hit them. Mind you, they were a major port of entry and even the ramifications of ceasing all economic activity, which has far more implications than folks not being able to go to work -that was still the right decision. Keeping schools open will increase case fatality rates PERIOD. Closing schools is only complicated when you become emotional and believe the community will let children starve because the cafeteria is closed at school. It is a FACT that children are largely asymptomatic and have the highest viral loads with this virus. Jefferson County just suspended all schools (without a case in the county) because they are listening to professionals and not emotional advocates like your self or DeBlasio.
