The one on Madison and Lark. I see it on my commute and it's still always busy.

You're right about no one here caring about the rona. I've been taking quarantine and safety very seriously because I was in NYC the first weekend of March. I've been a-ok thankfully. But up here, it looks like business as usual on the streets, especially warmer days.

drat, that's right by the capital building and all the state and union agencies. It blows my mind because Westchester County is only two hours away. Albany is not prepared

Lol yeah TN Governor mandated stay at home today and the traffic didn't change at all. "Guys this is super serious, only essential jobs are open" *looks at list of essential jobs which is basically a description of every job in the state* cool

here in MS our stay at home order goes into effect in 30 minutes, and this is CHUD central USA so a lot of people are going to either ignore it completely or openly flaunt it to signal which side of the culture war they're on

i'm sorry but you're wrong. capitalism is done for, deadzo, gonezo, get over it. gay space luxury automated communism is coming all on it's own whether you like it or not, we don't need to do a single thing, just kickback and smoke a bowl and passively observe the great coming. people are gunna collect their couch-savings for a tank of gas and drive to 2000 miles bezos mansion and eat him and decapitate trump n kushner and demand we all have worker coops, m4a and ubi. there is no way it wiggles out of this one and only good things can come from it's demise

Just got this from the people claiming this is a democrat hoax and that I should stop whining because i'm under 40 and safe



1.) We do not manufacture anything here. We pay people halfway across the country to do that for us and send it to other people. In the strictest technical sense, in some way, our company does manufacture things that we never see in any form.
2.) We do not have a product that "Treats covid-19." At best we have an allergy medication that claims it treats runny nose and cough.
3.) The work we are actually doing is on acne cream. Dozens of pallets of acne cream.

I guess I can't even report them since we are affiliated with someone, somewhere in the world, who actually does essential work apparently. I just really don't want to die building up a 2 year stockpile of Acne cream we aren't even selling because some middle manager is melting down at his house remotely demanding the peons risk their lives for his bottom line.

I live in Illinois, but it's in the Quad Cities which is this lovely bundle of towns that include a couple in Iowa. Where I live, I can literally see the bridge to Iowa it's like a 5 minute drive.

So when Iowa is being dumb shits about things, it carries over to me and I hate it.

EDIT: ^^^^ I'll probably get exposed not because a manager is afraid of a slightly worse bottom line, but because my ceo likes having someone make his lunch.

Most of what they do is leave bagged food on the counter away from employee working area. One put a CC machine very far away where you're supposed to pay. A fair bit have tables setup outside at the door so no one has to go inside which seems smart. Some are doing you need to order online first. wash your hands well before you go in, mask if you can, definitely don't cough.

but yeah i mean your risk is that the workers can be sick and you'll get it that way. If you can, reheat your food in a toaster oven/microwave for a reasonable amount of time before you eat it. I don't think I'd get salads or sandwiches per se, but chinese/indian/thai/creole/etc takeout is perfectly fine to reheat, and we've been doing that because I really love a lot of my local places and they're hurting real loving bad. rents are extraordinarily awful here in the bay area as it is and most have furloughed a lot of their staff (waiters, bus boys, etc) and only have kitchen workers. we've gone to as many places as we could to support them and the look of despair overall and yet glad that even one person has come in that day is really heartwrenching. We've been told we were the only one / under five people who got food there and that's loving yikes

a whole lot of places are probably going to permanently close because food service is already poo poo and razor-thin as it is and commercial insurance does not cover "pandemics" because they have an act-of-god exemption lol
