More Cops Infected with Covid than Swine Flu
Last week, over 300 NYPD officers have been it with the Rona. Today, that number is up around 1200. This is a number that is likely to double or triple in the coming week, given how gross most of their station houses are. Cops are showing off their Drones now. If enough cops fall to the virus, perhaps they’ll replace them all with drones and air strikes. Walking while black? Air strike. Didn’t pay the fare? Air Strike. The coming Police State will not be televised.
Queens new DA Melinda Katz tested Rona positive. She’s also still trying to place as many people in jail as she can while releasing very few from what has become a potential death sentence. Unfortunately it sounds like she’s on the mend. I don’t usually wish the worst on most people but you’ve got to bare in mind: many people on Rikers are being held due to a lack of bail. There are even a few cases where people who should have been given a desk appearance ticket (for things like littering, simple trespass, etc) are being held.
Meanwhile, in Detroit, 1/4th of their force was quarantined at one point, and their police chief has tested positive. The Rona is going to hit The D with a major blow. After years of creeping towards recovery from bankruptcy, it seems like another hard recession is going to hit. The severely impoverished people who don’t even have running water to wash their hands with will die.
As us far left folks often state: Cruelty is their policy. When they started locking kids in cages, a lot of people said nothing. When they cut SNAP and other essential basic programs, no one cared. They are cutting environmental regulations right now, in an effort to help choke more of the planet to death. Now that your hospitals can’t even get enough PPE (and Trump openly accused them of stealing it), will you care? I know people are stressed the fuck out right now and this last paragraph ain’t easy to swallow, but there are a lot of people in this country who really need to reassess their beliefs. Because reality right now ain’t playing. Do you want four more years of this fucking asshole? If I had my choice I’d not have to deal with this shit for four more seconds.
Safe Sex is for Everyone, Even Viruses
Let’s move to something a bit more lighthearted: The NY Post is ON IT this week, covering how the NYC Department of Health has gone to war against Rim Jobs and is now offering dating advice. With the looming condom shortage, mad anal sex is gunna be where it’s at! Giddyup Corona CowGirl!
CENTRALIA RONA PARTY WOOO!!!
BRO DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE EPIC PARTYING HAPPENING IN CENTRALIA RIGHT NOW LIKE MY DUDE BRO WOW.
I have to admit, reading about the boring street grid in the former town of Centralia (PA) becoming a party spot during the rona’ is just really fucking weird to me. Twenty years ago there nearly all the bandos in that town were gone. Today, there’s nothing left other than graffiti highway. Trying to break into an active church? Seriously? Can’t wait for the youtube videos! GOT THE RONA IN CENTRALIA! DIED!
ASS: Assorted Subway Shenanigans
The virus claimed it’s first transit worker last week, Peter Petrassi. RIP fellow tunnel dweller. Four more have followed in recent days.
Speaking of deaths, the horrifying death of this train operator, and the fire that caused it, is some seriously unhinged shit. If you see or know this person, turn their asses in. Fuck. That. Shit. Or call me up—I’ll happily round up a crew and go beat him to death.
On Sunday afternoon, there was a Citizen app report of someone running down the Lex line subway tunnels. Nothing wrong with some Social Distancing.
Shorties:
Wild animals have taken over exploring our cities while y’all busy rubbing it off smoking weed all day.
Some bored college students in Puerto Rico took a trip to an abandoned astronomy observatory on the island.
An abandoned hospital in Philly will remain exactly that, as it’s new owner wanted to charge the city a million dollars per month to reopen it. You can always count on Capitalism to save the day. They should just pass a new very specific emergency law targeting that particular building and just take it the fuck over.
And, New Yorkers ALWAYS want you to SHUT THE FUCK UP. We’ll politely enjoy our silence and the pervasive sound of ambulances all day and night, than you very much. Take that Titanic shit elsewhere!
There’s actually a great scientific reason to tell such people to shut the fuck up: Every time we talk (or sing) we are emitting an aerosol potentially filled with virus. So, stay away from anyone talking in public, and definitely wear a mask if you’ve got one. If you don’t, please don’t horded them all, but definitely get a few for whenever you have to go outside. Even a scarf of a ski mask that covers your mouth will be better than nothing. Austria has made wearing a mask when grocery shopping the new law. South Koreans have had a low infection rate because they all wear masks. Get my point?
Also these people deserve it.
Bando BBQ
A big ole’ historic supermarket bando in New Orleans also bit the dust. This one in particular stirred an angry press rantings.
A big old Seattle ‘bando burned over last weekend, forcing the closure of a major highway.
The massive old abandoned dormitory at the former Weymouth naval station burned to the ground.
In smaller bando fire news, A druggie up in Minnesota lit his squat on fire, burning himself and the the building to the ground. On a similar note, a bando duplex in Tulsa also got lit. A big old historic looking bando nearly blew up on Toronto last week.
International Update
I will always be amazed that UK folks absolutely love explorers and obsessively watch them closer than the royal family.
You can take a virtual tour of the touristy part of the Paris Catacombs.
AND THAT’S A WRAP
What’s more dangerous in 2020? Running track or going to buy some fucking avocados?
You can’t order that shit online right now, cuz services like Fresh Direct have no open slots. And, surprise surprise, demolition of their old location in LIC just wrapped up. Sure might be nice to have that overflow capacity right now eh? Check out our pre-demo tour of this unique warehouse.
In all seriousness people, try and stay safe out there.
