We are essentially shutting down our country because of NYC. I hope Trump realizes that and will open things back up at the end of the month.
It's not going to happen
And I mean that in the most sincere non insulting way.
This will take months unfortunately

As a young man I visited the city for the first time, as I walked the street I looked people in the eye with a smile and said good morning, I got a lot of stares, and 27 people later someone smiled and said good morning to you.
I opened a door for a woman and she turned around in the crowded lobby and said it a very loud voice "You did not have to open that door for me because I am a woman" as people stared I said back in an even louder voice "I didnt I opened it for you because my grandmother raised a gentleman".
Its been 30 years and not much has changed in that place.

In one Sanford and Son episode, Fred mentions watching a monster movie titled "Gork Eats New York and Gets a Thank You Note from President Ford." This is a reference to the New York City government's bankruptcy and Gerald Ford's refusal to bail out the Big Apple with financial assistance, a snub immortalized in the iconic October 30, 1975 Daily News headline "Ford to City: Drop Dead."
Looks like a repeat, except the monster is named COVID-19, but I doubt President Trump will be sending a thank you note. Or maybe he will.

- garbage all over the city sidewalks. Everywhere. - it's a walking city and you are always walking by other people all day long, every day no matter the time of the day, maiking it easy to catch germs from those around you. - The subways are always packed - there is no space between you and another person
All of this is undeniably true.

- Everyone lives tightly togther and on top of eachother. I find it stupid to pay $4k a month for an 8 by 8 1 room apartment and it's ugly on top of it, and dirty.
This is a bit of an exaggeration but it’s no secret real estate prices are ridiculous there.
quote:
- "Going out" means meeting your friends at the bar because everyone is expensive and there isn't space to go out and do things like you can in most of the country
This is true but not sure how this is different than anywhere else.
The city is packed and a lot of it is shitty. There are some beautiful areas but they are not affordable. I still think it’s a great city and totally understand the appeal for some to live there. But it isn’t paradise and ripe for something like this to spread.

I had always had a rather high opinion of Georgia Tech until exposed to this idiot.
The worst part is that he moved to Texas and lowered OUR State’s mean IQ ... appreciably.

Sure enough
What part of TX do you reside?

Sounds trashy. Close to Tyler?

It doesn’t matter how common it is. The discussion was about why they have so many cases and you responded with something about their financial status. That’s irrelevant; if anything it would lessen the severity. NY’s issue is population density, not Wall Street.

Why are you so desperate to downplay this?

Trashy enough here, but not real close to Tyler.

A lot of a lot of areas are shitty. I also think that people who paint it as "paradise" are very few and far between.

Two things:
They live on top of each other. Social distancing is near impossible.
Look at the areas the deaths are coming from. This same trend can be seen throughout the country.
