I'm flying into JFK in 2 weeks. Still debating if canceling the whole thing and losing thousands of dollars. š
Yeah, that shit is probably everywhere in NY now. I already told some elderly relatives not to panic when testing reveals that several thousand people are already infected nationwide. Might even be tens of thousands by the end of March. Panic will be our second worst enemy throughout this ordeal. Only Trump will be a bigger obstacle to us getting through this safely.
Best case scenario: Your flight will get cancelled
Worst case scenario: Your area will be affected by Coronavirus before the time comes for your flight.
It's not so much that we hate him, but rather that he's the shitstain troll that all of us have packed away in the dumpster and occasionally bring out for entertainment. But now you got idiot stunads who just had to make him relevant again, and now we have to deal with and clean up after their collective dumbfuckery.
Case in point: *gestures at this whole bullshit*
That's what we hate.
This is giving me major anxiety being from Manhattan, guess I gotta stop following the news so close. Makes it hard to breathe at times.
I wonder if some feel like me at times.

It hasn't hit Suffolk county yet BUT that's because lack of test kits. In reality a large majority of people who live out there work in the city or have spouses that work in the city or in Nassau county (where it is now)
i mean a different county is just a invisible line that ain't stopping shit.

Yea this case will only go up. If NY got this so will all east coast gonna be in the same situation. Its foolish to think otherwise.

All anyone can do is slow down the inevitable. its going to be part of our future for always like the flu is. No way it'll ever disappear.
This is making me consider stocking up on stuff for the first time, and I kind of hate that I'm getting nervous.
Right?! My mom got in my head with it tonight. I'm going to grab a water purification setup and some extra canned stuff and I hate that.
It's currently believed to be all from the one lawyer. A few NY residents work in CT hospitals and now people are self-quarantining. But there's another reported contact in CT and indeed.com's office has temporarily closed. My wife's office building had a reported contact, person is self-quarantining and people are preparing to work from home if that call is made.
Why, do you think this is just going to go away? What's wrong with being cautious?
Nothing wrong with being cautious and living in tornado alley I should have some stuff ready. I just don't want to contribute to runs on some products.
In the US or in Europe, as long as you don't start living like a social recluse, you're screwed either way. It's not even certain there will still be commercial planes flying in a month, with airports being a prime location for spreading the virus.
I go to school here in NYC and they where emailing us a lot before about all of this but have been a lot more silent since it actually hit here lol
Kind of just accepting my fate of what will happen lmao, especially on the metro multiple times a week and 3 other room-mates

There's an anime convention coming up that's gonna be at RIT
Nah, this is NYC. I just bought plenty of stuff right now, lol.
Only thing you can't buy is masks (if you really think you need them) and hand sanitizer.
Fair. I was mainly thinking hand sanitizer since I just tried buying it last night.
NYC Officials: we are declaring a state of emergency!
NYC Parents: What a nice day! Let's take the kids to the playground!
Yeah, nobody gives a shit here. I've never seen this playground so crowded. It's kinda funny. I even heard some little kids talking about the virus and how they have to wash their hands, but everybody is still running around, playing and sharing toys.

So New York could be contained like italy?
scary that this was part of Spider-Man's (PS4) story!

state of emergency is to open up funding and lessen bureaucracy, not a signal for society to shut down.
If you're concerned that you might catch this and need to self-isolate, sure. You could just stick to the shelf stable stuff and soap and not worry so much about whatever is being purchased in a panic.
Washing your hands regularly with soap and water is also useful even when you can't use Purell, though I noticed that even dish soap was a bit low in stock when I shopped over the weekend. Go to Trader Joe's if you're near one of them - they seem to be working hard to maintain supply of a lot of the basics.
