Are masks mandated on the subway? After so many deaths just 2 and 3 months ago, I would've thought so. Maybe the maskless person has antibodies.

I have no problem with living out my remaining years in the peace and tranquility here in Norman Rockwell's America in Boise. Good livin'

Ok. Norman Rockwell? As someone who grew up in Boise I have to tap the breaks. You must not have experienced the rampant racism and militant gun nuts of the rest of the state. Love Idaho. But there are so many issues don’t get me started.

I can’t even imagine stepping on a subway without a mask at this point.
are you seeing a lot of people without them?

Gals look like they’re 10 minutes closer, but it’s at the point where the commute is longer than the actual match.

I"ll hook you up with my buddy out there- Gals fan since the beginning. just sent some video he took of one of their "only one team in LA" supporter group tail-gate jaunts.

there's always been at least one. but it's kinda similar to the streets/sidewalks... more than 90% of the people have them... a few more have them and aren't wearing them or are wearing them ineffectively. looking around today I was struck by how many people are wearing them, just walking around, let alone the 100% in stores.

I was ready to brainxplode. hopefully boise is more aware and open-minded than Ocean Pines, MD. have to figure it is.

Nope. I guess I haven't been here long enough to see that. Boise itself seems to be somewhat progressive and accepting. I did see a few things back in February. During a 5k race, little kids were running over and high-fiving cops and during an event at the Capitol, someone started singing the National Anthem and everyone for blocks around stopped and faced the singing with hand on heart until it was done. Sorry but that's a place I want to live and seems very Norman Rockwell to me.

Btw..walked almost 10 miles today on the Greenbelt. From downtown to that old horse race track and back. Almost 100 degrees out! Coming back for the balloons in September.

Interesting. My daughter and her boyfriend left NYC 3 months ago. Quarantined then have been staying with us. Both jobs WFH. They are flying back Tuesday. Re-upped their lease at a discount. Don’t feel NYC is safer than So Cal now. They know they won’t be coming back to NYC as they knew it. Will have strict quarantine for 14 days. Can’t leave. Door man picking up garbage etc.
Enjoy So Cal. Be on guard. Not everyone is smart out here

Just got off the phone with my friend who moved from So Call to outside of Boise last Fall. Absolutely freakin loves it there. Wished he would have done it sooner They are kayaking, white water rafting, fishing or golfing every other day

Thankfully New Yorkers get a pass but there is a big resentment of all the Cali people moving here. The virus has dampened the activity, especially the city life, but I'm looking forward to the water activities next year. Love it here! Glad we bought in December because we probably wouldn't be doing it any time soon if we didn't.

I always crack up at the NIMBY resentment. They love it when their own homes appreciate in value though. Oregon, Washington, Idaho. Who else doesn’t want us? Get in line.

Personally, I get it. People pine for the old days and hate change. I have plenty of friends that cling to the 70's and 80's NYC. Things change, accept it or step aside.

I'm here ten years and haven't seen more than a few like this. People are very friendly and willing to help each other out. Maybe in the rural areas outside the Treasure Valley?

I think this is more media hype than reality. And Sif, of course. LOL. They started to coming in huge waves in 2006 to Eagle from the Bay area.

Me neither. The whole thing confuses the hell out of me. Ive seen TONS of maskless people (outdoors), zero social distancing, and the numbers are STAYING low? With the 20% positive antibody results and the new T-cell scientific study (saying that up to half people could have some type of immunity) I am wondering if he have gotten some type of herd immunity.

It's busy down here in the LES/EVil. Out and about seems ok to me, especially if most are wearing masks and not stopping and congregating...and the low numbers seem to be reflecting that. Stores and building interiors have all been 100% mask wearing from that I've seen.
It's the groups of people hanging out in the outdoor dining/drinking area that are more a concern to me- maskless for the most part, and closer than 6'.

I think it's being outside and moving. If this behavior persists indoors and/or while statically congregating, I think that's when we get back into problems.

My son plays little league and while the kids are outdoors there is no social distancing going on. Not a single kid has gotten sick yet :crossesfingers: Kids are going over each others houses, I've known tons of people that had big blowout graduation parties, proms, birthday parties. This is in Staten Island. Numbers are still very low and holding steady.

Most days they have 1 or 2 hospitalizations up from 0. Its impossible to go down from 0. Come on man.

ETA...lol... WASN'T trying to trap you!

I know the feeling. Enjoyed spending long stretches at the NJ shore but missed the lack of diversity. I think my wife is still in shock when our neighbor said the schools were diverse as they had a non-christian kid in their son's class.

yikes- be careful.
the awnings on the empty bank building (has been a club for years before closing down) across the street are ripped apart too.

Not much happening up here in midtown on the 12th floor. Barely a rain event. Weird.

Same here on the 5th floor in Hoboken. I was looking out the window and the low trees seemed like they were struggling in the wind, but the big tree that is as high as the 6th floor wasn't moving around that much. Even my windows are pretty dry, which never happens when it's raining and windy.

the rain and wind has come in quick, heavy bands down here, starting around 11.
eta: each band passed through quickly, and was fairly ho-hum inbetween.

My kid's camp at the Monroe Center (by the 9th st light rail) chose to do a 3pm early dismissal today which I was shocked they chose over closing for the day which obviously would've been much easier for them. I got here 20 mins early because I half expected to hit several flooded roads like always and possibly needing to double back and walk to pick her up instead (had to do that during one of the bad storms about a month ago).
I was pleasantly surprised to not see anything beyond a big puddle, a miracle for this town.

Same here. Flooding is usually really bad around my apartment during rain storms, but there's not much here either.

Friend from Hollis sent me pics of several downed trees in the street. Lot of my Jersey friends are without power as well - one shared a message from their power company they expected service to be restored NLT 11pm August 11. Great job managing expectations JCP&L!
Safe and sound in Turtle Bay.

There's still a large section of my neighborhood without power and they're being told maybe Sunday. We're very fortunate that it was only about 5 hours for us.

Our elementary principal has been furious with Carranza and deblasio in his weekly zoom talks with parents... The two keep making public statements about schools that the principals are hearing for the first time in the news- zero coordination. And zero help or advice with how on earth they were supposed to make it all actually happen.
He's been saying for more than a month they need time to make all of this physically happen in the schools for live teaching, let alone set up digitally. And the teachers union won't let the teachers go in early (before first official teacher check in day) to help set any of this up...because they've been waiting on answers too about how it's supposed to work to keep kids and staff safe.
So instead of coordinating all of this a month or two or three ago when the questions started being asked- engage the principals and teachers unions to get things set up BEFORE the first day of school, nothing was done, the teachers had to threaten to strike and the principal's had to wait until that part was resolved. 9 ####### days before school was supposed to start.
Carranza completely dropped the ball. And deblasio watched it happen. Each with their own agendas to push instead of what's best and makes sense for the kids. That said- I don't even know if the teachers union would have let them come in early to set up...I kind of doubt it. Heaven forbid they have to sacrifice a little- as if nobody else's lives were turned upside down by all of this.
