Can't spoil if it started out sour

Me.

In case you haven't noticed... the world is full of crazy folk.

whoosh

lucky for you this post will get lost in the middle of this thread, but you might want to save it anyway, if just to remind yourself how optimistic (but unfortunately wrong) you once were...

Well on one hand we have Herr negativity and on the other hand we have reality. Which belief should we go by? Hmmm.

go lick some doorknobs, grandma. you wouldn't recognise reality if it bit you in your saggy ass and held on...

This isn't the Black Plague dude. It's just a new flu, the world's reaction not withstanding.
Even looking at the statistics in the US means nothing because half of the US coronavirus cases are in New York City.

I've been to NYC. For the 1976 bicentennial there was 11 million people in the lower 14 blocks of Manhattan. Lower Manhattan is only about 5 blocks wide.
The sidewalks in NYC (on the main streets) are approx. 8-9 ft. wide, and during normal times they are shoulder to shoulder people. If you were a germ, NYC would be the place to be if you wanted to infect the most people.

It's not influenza...
