That's the #1 train? That's worse than the 90s!

That pic ^^^^^^ came off the internet.. BUT... it's reality

Love ya ..be cool.. Be safe and stay home

I read a few articles early in on the quarantine saying that online traffic (gun sales, TP, even online subscriptions) had spiked in first few weeks.

Has this kept up? I'd suspect it would have died down a little once people stopped getting paychecks and/or already stocked up on enough ammo and food supplies.

Our portfolio traffic dropped slightly in February and March but looks to be picking back up.

That's the 6 and hell naw lol. Not the 6. Between them cars was little mini new jack cities in the 90's, the last car was no-go unless you were ready to party or at least smell like you partied.

I was one of the little bastards pulling the red string for fun and smoking blunts in the conductor booths.

That was one of those lines where if you didn't have a seat, you stand by a white person. They wasn't going past 96th uptown. The only train that stops local in east harlem, right through the essence of it.

Way better now. Completely different world on them trains now.

Oh MAN I remember those days! I am white as driven snow so I would avoid the #6 and instead take the crosstown bus to Lexington then up to e.116th Street where I scored my weed. LOL Always went in the sunny afternoon but e.116th Street in Spanish Harlem looked like a burned out Hollywood movie set with buildings boarded up, vacant lots....scary.

Check it: I used to go into this completely dark as night blackened out "store". The only visible light was a coke machine in the corner. You kept walking until your nose hit plexi glass like with bank tellers. Probably bullet proof. A little drawer popped out, in went $20, out came the fattest bag of weed you ever saw! Looked wholesale, where the dealers went before selling it downtown to white boys like me. "Buy a soda" a mysterious voice called from the dark. I did and got the HELL outta there! Of course I went back about ten times before I found someone who delivered to the UWS. LOL Ahh those were fun (scary) times yo!!!!

You say "Check it".. Jersey says "Dig it".. Went to the Rotten Apple with my first wife. down 42nd street.. I could be President OBama with those ID's.. Remember that.. ?-- Anything you want you go to New York.. Including the Cops on Horse Back in Time Square... On the road... Go ahead.. play around with those horses.

LOL I'm white and the rule was - never go above 96th! We all had stories about the "one time the train went express and I had to go to 125th" you get the sinking feeling in your stomach, then, "I have to act tough, and like I know where I'm going, black people respect people who look confident" LOL then you tell stories about it for weeks. The 1/9 was my train.

Now that whole neighborhood is white. LOL

It started with Henry's, do you you remember Henry's on 106th? White people would cautiously venture up there cause they had great brunch, then it was like, this isn't so bad, let's buy a townhouse!

Oh yes I remember Henry's! Great mimosas. :) But I think Harlem turned white after Bill Clinton moved his Presidential Office there sometime after 2002 I think it was. Then suddenly POOF it was Snowflake City.

I can only speak on the east side, majority of the tenements were abandoned. Realtors scooped them up and built them cheap ass slab buildings on the empty lots and let yuppies flood in. The projects are still the projects tho.

I like how it turned out honestly. It's a mix of everybody living together now, no matter the race or tax bracket. And it's safer than it's ever been. It backfired on the original gentrification plan, in a good way.

I didn't really deal with the west side (Clinton's side) too much. Can't speak too much about it other than I use to frequent the Allah school in mecca as a teen.

After that e.116th & Lexington Ave place I found a store on w.125th Street and went there until it got raided. LOL Ahh good times! You used to walk in, ask to use the bathroom, then a secret door what open next to the sink and you would put your money in and the weed would come out in little glass jars. It was so James Bond! Crazy.

I should check out the east side (Spanish Harlem). It's been years since I've been up that way. Being a mix sounds like a cool area now. :)

It's nice now, mostly.

It ain't perfect, but they are all pretty much coexisting. 99% of the riff Raff that does occur is personal, so if you're not involved you have no worries.

None of those trap door spots anymore. I have stories for days about those tho, east Harlem and the bronx. We had slot machines in the bodega attached to my building that would give you a choice between a $3, $5 or $20 bag of whatever just flew in from Jamaica back in the shower pose days.

In East Harlem that all transitioned into secret door to door "party favor" services in the early 2000's and now it's kinda weird. Since the white folks moved in the cops stopped harassing as much so drugs feel more prevalent and open again minus the crack. Just a lot less violence because everybody is the plug these days.

There's a garden store up there under the bridge, it has goats, chickens, etc, and garden supplies. It's around 115 and Park. When I shopped up there I knew things had changed. Funny how with all the massive wealth of Manhattan, it still doesn't penetrate the projects. The 63rd street projects right behind the Met, people will go the extra 10 blocks around at night.

corona virus going away
 

I have notice my city, changing. we will be open again soon :)
be safe

No disrespect but what planet are you from. The curve is dropping because everyone is stuck in the house on lock-down.

Lets test out your theory here in the State of New Jersey. Take notice of the dates.

You were saying ?

Man one day soon pot will be legal in New York City. There is simply too much revenue generated from it and NYC needs the cash.

Crazy how shit has changed! My dealers were always moving from one bodega to another, handing out biz cards with a secret symbol. It was like being James Bond to score a doobie. LOL

Now you can just go to fucking Craig's List, type in '420 delivery' and you have a host of choices. Amazing.

Thats a big jump from 4/28 to 5/3

Also sex work - stupid to keep that illegal

That's good but still need to take care everyone

Feel free to explain why in Iceland, Sweden and South-Korea the curve is/was dropping without any lockdowns.

Moreover a randomized study showed that 20% of NY population has already antibodies, this means even before lockdown infections were already much more widespread then assumed.

Most cities are easing up the lock downs. The virus is still around but i guess life must go on.

But that is part of the thrill . . .

moreover, serious cases dropped to 2%, down from 5% a month ago

1- South Korea is experiencing reinfection.. Plus they lie about their numbers.

2- Sweden is extremely controversial with their testing methods due to the fact of overwhelming their health care system.

Sweden has 10 million people living in that entire country... AS New York has 8.3 million residence and New Jersey has 8.8 million people.

There's no comparison - A person would have to be a complete idiot to think otherwise.

and fact ...

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...esearchers-say

Plus China trying to mask their own negligence as the United States is getting their asses handed to em... and you're talking about Sweden and Iceland where nobody goes anyway ...

End of rant ...

Could this Covid-19 situation be a deliberate attempt by China to fuck the world and the economy? Hmmm....

If it was, i'd say they won...

I think, listening to epidemiologists and infectious disease experts non-aligned with governments, that this is going to get worse before it gets better. A possible, if not probable, second wave in fall overlapping with influenza will complicate matters. And, maybe more waves next year beginning in spring. Further, it is questionable whether a vaccine will be developed. Although coronoviruses are less subject to mutations (good), they are highly resistant to vaccines (e.g., SARS, MERS, and several that cause the common cold). The FDA has never approved a vaccine for humans that is effective against any member of the coronavirus family. Best case scenario is one could be developed, but it could take years. This could be the new normal until late 2021 or even into 2022. Some renowned epidemiologists are saying that this will not end until the virus has run its course, and infected between 60 to 80% of the population. And, if no vaccine, COVID-19 will likely become a seasonal pandemic like influenza. We can play the blame game (including playing race cards), but this will get us nowhere fast. Right now, we need to work together to get through this. Best bet may to improve testing, and then make it more available, and develop more effective treatments to minimize hospitalizations - especially ICU admissions: at least reduce need for intubulation / ventilation.

We are so bored in my country, tired of this coronaViris made our life like a prison..most of the people do not wear mask .

Where do you hail from? Well, better bored to death than ... But yeah, boredom big time. I deal with it with working and getting caught up on things I've had on back burner for many months, getting out on my 46k rides in the AM, and at-home date nights with wife every Saturday: order in, and order up movie on NetFlix. Better than nothing.

I think the duck is wearing a MAGA hat ... Daffy Trump :)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh . . .

one of the desk guys of my building (fat guy) , died today, we are waiting information if it was covid19 we all might be mandatory quarantined :(

he was a good guy and gave me contention when I had a mental breakdown

he may rest in peace

update: one of the hookers of my building just told me he used to touch her tits

The redhat is right, actually. The people can't wait yet another year for a vaccine.

P.S. Yesterday I was talking with a delivery guy on the street who asked me to show the direction of his destination address. He caught at least twice between every word.

update: She's a hooker.
update: guy had hands.
update: hooker has tits.
update: sun is hot.

WHAT VACCINE?

you do realize that it wont be any vaccine that would be good, working and worth-taking, do you?

anyway, its time to open for most of the people.... and take care of the weakest ones/ oldest ones. just that.

Why not? We have a 100% working vaccine against Polio (made in the USSR BTW), a vaccine against Measles, Hepatitis B, Mumps, Rubella and even Varicella. All of them work fine. And even anti-flu vaccines work well for specific types (not in 100% cases, but still very well).

no they don't. or maybe they do work, but only in laboratory environment. normal life is not like this.
Unless you want to repeat it every 6-12 months, which makes sense for you? more harm than the actual illness.
same with sars-cov-2, or even worse. it already has few strains, plus it is more difficult to make vaccine for corona-type viruses. nobody did it actually before...

best tip for everyone is to stay strong, be healthy, have good immune system, but guess what - that last one is not build by sitting in home for few months like a retard.

Was your account hijacked by wehateporn? Vaccines do work. Period.

Did you notice which part of your post I quoted and what I specifically wrote, or drunk already ? :)

I would suggest you to drink vodka instead of gasoline next time. I've posted my reply to the exact quote.

And here we go: A human monoclonal antibody blocking SARS-CoV-2 infection | Nature Communications.

Yes, it will be working. But we still need a lot of time for testing and production process.

Dude, no one is even sure if antibodies prevent you from getting re-infected. No one is really focusing on that because OH SHIT. But that's the case. We simply do not know why some people get it, some get it worse than others, some die while others do not, if you are truly "immune" once you have it, how long it can stay dormant in your system without knowing you have it, on and on.

This shit is brand-new it has everyone scrambling.

The only thing I miss, btw, are the whores. Everything else is basically the same around here (for me).

This is gold though :1orglaugh

I'm pretty furious with my government right now (I can call it mine as I'm now a citizen)

Jamaica started off with one of the best responses in the region to the outbreak (I was giving them serious props at first) and promptly went downhill. first by not closing the borders quickly enough (on this I do understand hindsight is 20/20) and then by allowing a BPO to continue operating under unsafe conditions even as workers were speaking out about the unsafe conditions

workers at the BPO were in close quarters, with no proper cleaning or safety equipment like masks and as a result the infection rate doubled almost overnight. half the infections nation-wide now are either people who worked at Alorica (the BPO) or were in contact with someone who does

then as the cherry on top they allowed a rich expat from Turks (I used to live there as well, the expats are entitled pieces of shit) to fly in for medical care, resulting in the head of surgery at one of the biggest hospitals here ending up in quarantine as the dude from Turks was infected with the virus

all while Jamaicans working on cruise ships have been denied entry to their own home nation for weeks

so to sum it up the economy is at a standstill, a huge parish vital to the Kingston economy was under quarantine for 2 weeks, at least 80% of my friends are out of work (tourism, events, bar workers, home helpers) and all because the gov was afraid to stand up to an international corp that does not give a fuck about this nation or its people

we're all making the best of it and people are for the most part trying to help by being responsible, wearing masks and following the 6pm curfew but damn. it did not have to be this way

money and power always win. this place is changing but not fucking fast enough

</end rant>

I was wrong, you and NYC are in a pandemic of extraordinary circumstances. Your fucking hospitals are killing patients!

Coronavirus is something we and our pets live for thousands years. There is no problem to make your immune system to resist. The problem is that it takes a lot of time for testing. as an alternative, everyone has to catch it. I has said a few times in this thread that I surely have this virus for a few of months. So what?

you mean you still have it since January?
you still have some symptoms????????

As the doctors say it lasts for months (maybe for years - nobody checked). In my case a head cold and runny nose.
