  1. A factor that could possibly mitigate the severity of the disease is Vitamin D levels. People in the South are far less likely to be Vitamin D deficient, and there's a correlation between Vitamin D level and response to respiratory infection in general. So Florida could wind up with a lower death rate not because of anything they did.
  2. Instead of completely shaving the other body hair you could just use clippers on a #2 or #3 setting so you still have some hair, it's just not out of control.
  3. I mean, if you trust their SOs are being careful, it's probably not horrible to have them over. I REALLY do not get the impression most couples who don't live together are staying apart like this.
  4. NJ is allowing massage parlors to open on Monday along with barbers. I assume they require masks for both therapist and client.
  5. You need to watch her NPR "Tiny Desk Concert."
  6. The fact is we don't HAVE a "System" of elder care in this country. We have a patchwork of distinct systems(government, private pay, Veterans, "charity"), that barely talk to each other and often contradict each other, everyone playing a game of hot potato to not be the one who pays, and people generally don't plan, so when the need arises to navigate this system, they have no idea what the hell to do, and suboptimal decisions are made all over the place. And it's generally something you only do once in your life, so you don't even get a chance to use what you learn about it. It's horrific.
  7. Their cases are going up sharply. The gaming commission needs to get their heads out of their asses and require masks on the casino floor, not just at tables.
  8. Well when you consider that a lot of food venues are closed and have restricted capacity, it's not surprising. Most of the buffets have a line during normal times.
  9. To be fair, the working out and diet required for his maitenance of that musculature and bodyfat doesn't leave a lot for the old grey matter. The brain runs on glucose...
  10. I meant to type IRL=In Real Life. I think his first romance was when he was 18 or 19 with a late 30something woman and when he was in his 30s dating a woman who was 19ish he went on about how wonderful he thought that age gap was as if he was paying it forward or something. He thought he was saying something sophisticated and he came off creepy. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
  11. He's a bit of a cad IRL apparently. Likes them younger than an age where they're looking to get married.

  13. They did it here for airfares, I don't know why hotels get away with it.

  15. There is a "naked barber" in NJ...haven't been to him so can't say anything about his services.
  16. I think it's still technically banned but somebody has to report it.
  17. Right now the ones that are open are basically only open to get a massage and use the lounge area.
  18. I'm wondering how many of these places are going to fold due to the lockdown. 3+ months of no income and Manhattan rent is not a good combo. OTOH commercial real estate is taking a dive so maybe their landlords will give them a break to stay where they are.
  19. Sure you don't have the tracking feature, but I'm surprised as a local you don't try to work the comps system now that every dollar you spend, even for food or something at the gift shop, counts for tier credits. Once you get to a tier the discounts start to really add up. And right now they are throwing offers at people with any sort of status.
  20. Credit score doesn't care about your income. just your history of repayment and balances/available credit, along with some other variables you may or may not have any influence on that have been shown to have a statistical relationship to the probability of default. They know there are plenty of people with credit cards who have other people paying the bills, so they have no interest in missing out on the opportunity to make money by denying those people credit.
  21. People checking their own score does not count as a "hit" - the inquiries that are counted are when borrowers look to process an application.
  22. Women have more active immune systems in general as well. They tend to fight off infections better when they do get them.
  23. Ethnicity helps narrow things down when searching for a specific person, though. I use it when there was someone I was interested in and can't find them because I'm in a densely populated area.
  24. A friend told me Caesars properties are requiring them but out on the Strip it was more like 20%.
