... 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!

It was hard disciplined work. Gov. Cuomo led, and New Yorkers came together, for the most part. Evolve Dammit Jul 2020 #14
