  1. Define "long term use". Understand you're dealing with some pros.
  2. This animal is descended from wolves.
  3. The really good news will be if we find that exposure to a small dose creates immunity. Most of us are probably exposed to small doses a lot.
  4. I don't trust the "6-foot" rule at all. Studies have shown the virus staying airborne for up to 2 hours and spreading 20 feet pretty easily with any air flow. I only trust masks and glasses in grocery stores or in public. Gloves or frequent hand sanitizer are equally good and I spray disinfectant on all home door handles and clothes worn outside. Sidewalks around me are very crowded with people not wearing masks and that concerns me most.
  5. Many in Florida may have chosen to die at home. With painkillers how I would prefer. (I have a lot of streaming episodes to finish up now.) https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/08/us/coronavirus-florida-medical-examiner-records.html?action=click&module=RelatedLinks&pgtype=Article
  6. Share (has new name)
  7. There are several OnlyFans and Twitter and Instagram sites that are previews of other OnlyFans. Also every guy on OF promotes others every day.....how they get mutual ads. You'll network real fast.
  8. Assuming 70% will eventually be infected, the flattening saved more remote areas for a while but now that the former hotspots are level or declining, the remote areas will get the explosion of cases they avoided sooner. (same with countries)
  9. 28?.......I wish I aged in RentMen years.
  10. The coronavirus outbreak in New York City became the primary source of infections around the United States, researchers have found. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/07/us/new-york-city-coronavirus-outbreak.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage
  11. [quote="bigjoey, post: 1910479, There are additional deaths because of the epidemic, not the lockdown. Because of the epidemic many patients refuse to go hospital where they will contact the virus, and also many doctors will not go. So including those additional deaths because of there being an epidemic is justified and it's only reflected in places where the death toll is obviously higher than normal. It is not reflected in the number of deaths offically by the virus.
  12. Because infection and death figures for CV vary so much, I like the NYT's new method of giving the extra deaths over the normally expected as the guideline. It causes the worst-hit to look worse and many low-case places to look better. California shows being hit harder though.
  13. For 16 weeks everyone on unemployment gets an additional $600 per week. (by your CA estimation a $400/wk worker will get $785/wk unemployment for 16 weeks.
  14. I fondly remember sneaking in to the original Eagle on 7th St NW when I was still 17 and getting too wild for the outstandingly handsome but polite and demure young lobbyist and staffer table scene at Mr. Henry's Georgetown. Wow those Eagle MEN having sex not just in the backroom but all over the intensely crowded bar. I hated going home for holidays and missing nights at the Eagle. And Secrets may have had a no-sexual-touching policy while nude dancers were on the pods but there were 10 well-used bathrooms and many backrooms available for boys with enterprise. Those guys are unsuited for any other employment.
  15. Secrets will be another "luxury" 12-story apartment building. I doubt the Eagle's newish Benning Road location in Anacostia will be that. Why it's a shock.
  16. NewEgg sells the easy AVG VPN for $10 a year for 5 machines. (1st week trial with AVG is free). Bonus- you can read full written reviews on RentMan. Funny side is you get a lot of targeted advertising in the language of the country you chose for a couple weeks.
  17. lol. Allen the owner is 86. Nope. That is a surprise shock. They moved there because, unlike all their previous locations, that Benning Road area was redevelopment-proof. Of course that's what Secrets thought too when they moved to Buzzards' Point 13 years ago. The Eagle has moved many times in it's 49 years. Sad day for gaydom. The two largest, longest-open, no-holes-barred gay venues in America permanently closed in 3 days. RIP (and Secrets was the last of a one-time 8 gay nude strip clubs in DC).
  18. Of course did the Breaking Bad/ Better Call Saul/ Camino thing, repeating old BB I'd often forgotten. All must-see. Interspersed with The Office episodes for relief. Unorthodox was ok. So far avoiding The Crown and Ozark. Peaky Blinders is the best long series I've found. I have to turn the English subtitles on though because it's often hard to understand Bummingham much less Irish Gaelic. (and boy was Churchill an s.o.b.). Huge hack: If you get a cheap VPN (AVG from NewEgg) you can locate in Europe to a non-P2P city which avoids all the US licensing rules giving extra free seasons of shows on Netflix. Your Netflix log-in signs you into Netflix Europe automatically (after not believing you a time or two). It also gives many more language and subtitle choices (European). Plus many more choices. Of course you're doing this to protect your privacy, not to avoid copyright and licensing laws.
  19. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/05/04/tyson-says-nations-pork-production-is-down-50-despite-trumps-order-keep-meat-plants-open/ Pork production down at least 50%
  20. Newsom's closing of Orange County beaches just pushed people onto the sidewalk and bikepath by the beach. Evidently there's no mask requirement in public and this is worse than before.
  21. Are others seeing a rapid breakdown in Amazon? What was 2-day (and becoming 1-day) has become a minimum of 2 weeks to even get on the Amazon truck on about 20 things I've ordered directly from Amazon the past couple weeks. I also saw a video online of someone at a FedEx Ground distribution center where a truckload of boxes was on the ground outside and someone said they would not be sorted for two weeks. If warehouses/fulfillment centers/distribution centers are breaking down this could get very painful fast right at the time we should be converting to more online orders. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/m7qdwa/fedexs-ceo-says-its-protecting-workers-video-from-a-warehouse-tells-a-different-story https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/coronavirus-amazon-fedex-ups-houston-workers-mail-15202321.php#photo-19300077 https://fox13now.com/2019/12/18/fedex-not-delivering-your-packages-customers-say-delays-are-lasting-weeks/
  22. The soon-approaching opening. In DC the smug young are chafing for the bars to reopen. [MEDIA=twitter]1256926404433846273[/MEDIA]
  23. "America's Cassandra" says it will be years. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/02/opinion/sunday/coronavirus-prediction-laurie-garrett.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage pandemic experts say 2 years at least: https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2020/05/01/pandemic-experts-sobering-warning-coronavirus-future-john-barry-marc-lipsitch-ebof-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/coronavirus/ and yesterday was America's highest death day yet.
  24. DC has the best clients and that's #1.
  25. It is a peculiarly American notion that we have a constitutional right or civil right or something not to wear a facemask to protect others in public during an epidemic. The way I see it is no one has a right to breathe their germs on me in public during an epidemic. Some people have their rights reversed.
