Coronavirus - What Are The Implications?

NYC is iconic and I would hate to see it permanently become desolate. But I don't really see that happening. Even now when we're in the middle of the pandemic, a lot of companies that feasibly could work remotely without a drop in productivity are still having people come in. It's still too ingrained in our work culture the idea that you have to commute to an office and sit in a cubicle farm for 8 hours. I think for the most part, all that office space will still be used. To some extent, I imagine a lot of the New Yorkers themselves see the city life as part of their lifestyle and would prefer to continue going into the city rather then permanently working remotely.

But even if NYC did take a hit due to remote work, long term I still see it as a positive if more companies move to remote work when viable. As a worker, I love working from home. There is probably a big environmental benefit from the downtick in commuting. As an executive, I'd probably love the cost-savings of eliminating office space. Sure, it will have negative impact on real estate, service/maintenance workers for those office spaces, etc. But isn't that the idea of capitalism? If society collectively reflects and determines that we have the technology to work remotely which overall has a net boost to productivity and business efficiency, we shouldn't hold off on that and maintain an inefficient system just because of the tangential business that would suffer collaterally.

 

so many are taking advantage of the eviction rule even if they can pay, and then they are moving as soon as it's over. The people left holding the bag are people that own property who still owe money on the mortgage

Are they pausing all mortgages also? For some reason people think property owners or small business owners have deep pockets and a financial reserve. That is very rarely the case.

 

Any evidence of “so many” people are doing that?

Covid is not serious and so we need to open everything up because people are hurting financially.

People are doing fine financially and instead taking advantage of the relief programs/eviction postponements to screw over landlords for their own profit.

Which one is it?

 

probably some version of both like it always is

 

Plaschke got it and describes what it was like for him .....

Oh,boy...
University of California President
Janet Napolitano recently issued an executive order requiring every student, faculty and staff member across the university system to get a flu shot, and now Children’s Health Defense is taking action and suing the university for its ill-advised move in light of scientific evidence that flu shots aggravate coronavirus.

Students and staff have until November 1 to get the shot. Although they claim there will be a process for faculty and staff to request medical exemptions, it has not yet been put in place.

If they really are so worried about the burden on the health system, they should keep in mind that a 2020 Pentagon study found the flu shot actually raises the risks posed by coronavirus by 36 percent

 

this is worth watching

Damn it I just got my flu shot

 

Politicization.

 

But hey, Cuomo sending COVID-19 patients to senior housing centers to recover and then killing people but being praised for his work is clearly the headline while Trump is the evil killer. Family and friends couldn't see their loved ones who died from COVID but De Blasio allowed riots, looting, and even had no issue with people congregating while he painted a BLM mural in Manhattan. Leftist Democrats are the absolute worse...

 

looks like the Tweet was deleted. Lots of that should be happening everywhere. I do it from time to time. Sometimes I cringe 10 seconds later and push delete hahaha.

 

These state governors are in trouble.

 

"Never let a good crisis go to waste" -Saul Alinsky

I’ve had people tell me that people and news outlets on the right are interpreting these numbers wrong. And I say to them: “how else are you supposed to interpret it?” Smh. I’m just waiting for a left leaning site/paper/entity to “debunk” it.

 

I honestly believe that the fear the media portrayed played a lot into people’s psyche. I’m not saying people who have gotten it are faking or that it’s a hoax, I’m saying you’d be surprised what fear can produce psychologically.

 

I don't doubt for a minute that it's real and miserable, but it's been highly politicized. When there are agendas involved, the facts don't matter as much as what you can make the situation do for you.

But for CNN, a notorious left leaning source to say that, that's pretty Wow. Shocking actually.

I think it's Trump bait



CNN: Only 6% of the deaths were related to Covid only

Trump: See everyone, I told you it wasn't such a big deal.

CNN: I thought you said we were fake news? But if what we report fits YOUR agenda it's true?




I see you working.

 

So it's super dangerous to those who have other health issues... It's still misleading to present them as COVID-19 deaths when it's other factors involved. Again, here you are quoting a media source that has been shamelessly attacking the President for years now through deception and misinterpreted information. The fact is, the majority of people around the world are SAFE from COVID-19... If you're young and healthy, the odds you die from this is VERY LOW. If you have health issues, you shouldn't even be outside... But here we are talking about how it's so dangerous and that Trump has killed 200k people. Yeah, because Trump is responsible for the 6,200 deaths when Cuomo decided to send sick COVID patients to senior centers... Yeah, that's Trump's fault. My recommendation is if you have health issues or even if you don't and you're young but take care of someone who does, you should be outside as FEW as possible. Don't get the coronavirus when you have numerous health issues (such as obesity) and then blame Trump. Blame yourself. And also, how about don't being obese and chugging ten cheeseburgers a day.

 

All you do is watch leftist sources on YouTube, post those videos, and then disappear for days before you post a new video. Rinse and repeat. But I guess if your motto is the leftist which is just run away and seek confirmation bias sources, you do you. And I love your anecdotal evidence but you mentioning that you are a very 'high risk' to the coronavirus. If you're a high risk, great, stay home. I have a family member who tested positive for coronavirus because he took the test for the hell of it and he didn't even know... He was feeling fine minus a headache. He's now recovered. So quit making it seem as if the moment you step outside, this virus will kill you. It's dangerous for SOME, not to ALL - as evidenced with the LOW death rate for young individuals.
