As an NYC'r I got teary eyed on seeing....

... that news!
Thanks from us NYC'rs for your kind words!

Being mindful that any death from this illness will shatter the worlds of that person's circle(s). Hopefully we'll never go back to those horrific numbers ever again! Maybe, hopefully small to modest upticks only, if that.

At 67, I gotta mostly lay low till a good vaccine. Even if I'd been younger I'd still have taken the precautions that I do now! I will get to a nice big park soonish since last early fall. Hopefully going toTrader Joe's (quite out of my nabe) for the first time in 4 months on Weds.

I have friends around the country doing the right things in areas that haven't, so I'm scared for them.
Of course, worried for myself, family and friends here (and close Tri-State), but at least the numbers are down!


Good Luck to us all!

Shocked but NOT Surprised :- ( .....

What an effin' shame for her!
Hopefully there's been a bit at least less now for her at least.

It shocks me because as someone who was raised to do my best to be anti-racist for over 50 yrs I'd hoped there'd be a lot less institutional, and individual racism by now.

OTOH it doesn't surprise me because I've been listening to by radio, and tv, on line, reading about black people's experiences for 50+ years. So I know in general how much it still goes on. Always more to learn.

Since I live in a multi racial city I have gotten, I get to have the benefit of enjoying good commaderie with work colleagues who are Black (and other POC), good bosses, good teachers/profersors, people with professional services I need, and good friends.
So I have many more circles of good possibilities for connections.

Oh, it started late May; way more frequent, earlier and bigger/louder 8pm till 3AMish+. It really crescendoed over the weekend, and this Monday - then suddenly dropped by 90% back down to it's normal amount for 8 days out from 4th of July.
Thank goodness!
