You can vote for Biden and tell your cracker friends and relatives you voted for trump. No one will ever know.

It’s a very persuasive argument to peel off a few more of the quietly disgusted.

The closest place to an NJT station where an out of state republican would assume he could buy crack. 

He probably started behind the Port Authority bus terminal.

Interesting, Kam.

Unfortunately mostly the only people who have taken the virus seriously are those who were in or near a significant outbreak.  The Wuhan/Hubei outbreak was a kick in the pants for China to become serious.  Very, very few places took strong measures before the virus hit them -- only Vietnam, HK (but with the China outbreak in their backyard), Taiwan, New Zealand as far as I know.  All hugely successful too.

Only after the scary and devastating NYC/NY metro area outbreak NY and NJ got serious.  Were temp checks ever implemented in the US? During the 2 month lockdown here, most food stores and such did temp checks before allowing you in.  Was pretty common for office buildings once the reopening started up.  Etc.
I have no idea how useful this was, though it certainly is useful at the airport.

I think the 6' rule was more of a distraction than a help in the US.  People were inconvenienced and felt like they were doing more than they were to stop transmission.  China didn't do this at all.I posted an article about the old and faulty science behind that distance rule last week.

Shanghai hasn't let anyone on the subway (or bus/plane/train) without a mask on since Jan 23.  I will agree it was easier to wear a mask in Feb/March than in June/July.  Though by then mask wearing was already pretty optional in SH.

He couldn’t score at Port Authority because of his heavy narc vibes. Queensborough Plaza was also a dud. He got chased out of the Marcy Houses and got lost around the Grand Concourse. Kiid was last seen rooting through garbage at the foot of the Verrazano Bridge where he didn’t see many New Yorkers wearing masks.

Still can't decide who wins the Stupid Chickenshit Word Games championship,  Redward or Kiid.   They're both strong contenders,  each with their own style of obfuscation.
