    I am in nyc and everything except food and liquor stores are closed,no barbers,and restaurants for take out only..
    I travel the extensive nyc subway system and early on did not worry as i traveled with a full spray bottle of 90% alcohol with a little h2o to dilute it..
    I sprayed hands,wiped face etc over and over..Now in typical dumb ass fashion they reduced subways and buses making riders tightly and closer together...so stupid but dumb politicos making these decisions..
    But as it got worse I asked myself is it worth the risk?
    So now i just work on my 20-30 lease returns i bought to sell when life returns as normal...
    I feel bad for all the innocent old people throughout the world who never saw this coming and became a number in this pandemic..
    STAY SAFE AND STAY SANE..............

      Re: COVID-19

      I have just found this post, and I also want to give my support to all the technical colleagues who in one way or another we continue to provide essential service. I already know companies that are still working or essential services (police, doctors, firefighters, etc.) that protect us and are on the front line against this virus.

      From Spain, we are also having a pretty bad time, and as a colleague, the measures have not been taken in time by those who govern. It is a pity that they have taken the situation of China as something far away, regardless of this world that is globalized, and that allows us in one way or another to unite people from countries so distant.

      I'm very encouraged, protect yourself as much as you can. All will be well.
      "ALL WILL BE WELL" The battle cry that most inspires me to follow, from the DC's Comic character that I admire the most. And I feel satisfied with being better every day, and with using Gnu-Linux as my usual Operating System.Apologies for my English, it's not my mother tongue and I'm helping the translator.

          i TRY not to get political as i hate all/most politicians and lawyers too.
          But what are these simpletons thinking protesting in crowds with no protections/masks or even 6 foot separation..
          The medical people do not need even one extra covid patient and do they think they are immune from this horrible plague?
          They are as bad as the religious zealots thinking "THEIR GOD" will protect them.............
          We all want to get back to our lives but do we need to so bad to make a bad situation worse?
          I have a neighbor fighting it now along with his son who is a EMT in Queens,nyc where is was/is really bad..
          He got it doing his job responding to the sick .........

          STAY SAFE

            Here in Spain we are also having a hard time, but with great care we continue working. almost all businesses are closed by the government except essentials. Take good care of yourself friends.

                yeah...they're idiots. Even if it made sense, it is a legal impossibility.

                    "A 1976 law called the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) gives a broad legal shield to foreign governments from lawsuits within the U.S., with few exceptions."
                    "Almost all of the defendants, maybe all of the defendants in this case would be characterized as a foreign state or agency or instrumentality before in state," said Ingrid Wuerth, a law professor at Vanderbilt University. "And therefore, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act applies to almost all or probably all of these defendants, and that means they are immune from suit in state or federal court in the United States, unless an exception to immunity applies."

                            Maybe you should have posted that instead of calling a service manager an idiot. None the less, it has cot you a Red Card.
