I feel really, really bad for those people in large cities..to an extent.


Scenarios like this are why I choose to live where I do. I'm not in a rural area, but have a nice house on a lot in a quiet neighborhood, population 100k.

I just dont trust other people in confined spaces. I'll visit your big cities a few times a year and call it good, but you would have to pay me astronomical amounts of money to live in one. its been said for decades, when shite hits the fan, those cities are going to implode quickly.

You pay with your time which is wasted.

Whatever. I can’t read it without registering with them and not interested in that


It took all of 5 seconds for me, and I didn't pay a cent. Paywall doesn't exist.

Yeah, I’m sure you’d rather get your information (actually disinformation) from paragons of facts like Rush, Sean, Tucker, Jeanine, Laura or Fox and Friends. Oh let’s not leave out Alex Jones and the whackadoo conspiracy assholes.

So stupid. I'm as big of a critic of the paper in general as anyone. I used to read it everyday ten years ago, but don't do so anymore. Their coronavirus coverage has a lot of useful information. Fine to ignore op-ed or op-ed-like content, but why be willfully ignorant of all information.

You know. This is as bad as the people who are poo pooing the NYT. Tucker's coverage of the coronavirus actually has been pretty good, and he was sounding the alarm weeks before most of the rest of the main stream media.

You're right. It's pretty difficult to set up an alternate e-mail address. Took me a whole 15 seconds I believe


You don’t even need to do that.
If using gmail you can type youremail address+whatever label@gmail.com.

Gmail will ignore after the “+” and send you the mail but you can use the address to set up a filter straight to junk.

This is like people who say they absolutely despise drama. They will be, without fail, the most dramatic person in whatever room they are standing in 100% of the time.

That’s just not true. WE may not have been around to experience this, but we have had far worse pandemics. It’s a serious situation, but as long as the healthcare system doesn’t get overburdened, we will beat this. Doctors and researchers around the world are working on new medicine to fight this thing.

Is there such a thing as a surgeon that isn't board certified?

Is this like a Realtor insisting they are so special it is capitalized?

NYT is biased trash.

After hearing Cuomo speak today, I would question the intelligence of anyone that voted for him or that routinely reads the NYT.
