Corona madness

This isn't going back to "normal" any time soon... not for months and months and months and well, a while

We're in lockdown. Am a little stir crazy, forgive my ramblings.

Hanging in there. Caught the virus - but only experienced very mild symptoms. It's worse in the city because folks are so close-packed. I live not far from Monsey, home to a big Hassidic community and they are largely anti-vax people who consider themselves "God's Chosen" and as a result they have been the epicenter of the outbreak what with their initial refusal to follow sheltering guidelines. I still see idiots shopping at the supermarket who believe the virus is a hoax. Still and all, NY State is flattening the curve by doing more testing than any other state.

How are you all doing? Heard your PM is out of the hospital.

I live in a very rural part of the North of Scotland and live pretty close to isolation anyway. Nevertheless, it's been a scary time and again, quite divisive in society with those who are following the rules, those who blatantly flout them and those who stretch the term "essential" so that it means practically anything.

Shopping is very weird. I'm sorry to hear you had the virus but glad to hear just mild and you feel all better now I still find it hard to fathom the ones who seem to think this is a hoax, or a consipiracy or something to hide something bigger...

I am quite scared for the whole of America and feel pleased that we've had a clear and decisive leader... Boris isn't everyone's favourite and I don't mean to start any political debate, but I'm kinda worried about Trump! I am an ignorant though so don't shoot me. I wonder if the "state" thing in America will help as each state is sort of led individually?

Whole thing been very scary.

Covid didnt really effect me much... business at my bike shop did not really change, people were still buying bikes (if anything they had more money to spend with the stimulus checks). My gym closed, so instead I hit the trails for work outs (bike, jog, rollerblade). I play Ice Hockey and that was shut down and probably wont reopen until fall, I also play beach volleyball and that was shut down for about 3 weeks but has been going strong for a few weeks already... most stores are open but you have to wear a mask inside, most bars have reopened with limited capacity... local race tracks have been open a few weeks now, no official events, but open for testing... because of that I see no reason that MotoGP will not be able to run here in the fall.

All major health officials are projecting a big upswing in infections come the Fall.

Covid hasn't (after the first 10 days of sheltering laws) affected my shop. My 50/50 in-store vs online sales have adjusted to 90% online. Lots of folks who are sheltering - want to spend more time playing music and are buying new instruments.
