See ya on the 2 express to Fulton St
Yeah, man. Fortunately, I've been a new yorker for so long I can ride the 4 train through the Union Square bend without holding on to the pole.
Get your minds out of the gutter folks. I meant the pole in the subway. Sheesh.

I chuckle when people refer to it being hot there. I go in August to cool off, and hurricanes so rarely hit there.
Rarely in my playing experience.
Why? Makes sense to me.BoundForElsewhere, your ^ comments, and your sig-line, ( "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.."), seem to be a bit contradictory.
Nope, sorry, you're revising history a bit here, you weren't merely endorsing masks and distancing, which virtually no one has a problem with. Your earlier posts ( since zapped by the mods) were a bit a hysterical diatribe about a looming calamity resulting from relaxing some restrictions and opening the economy again. It was extremely fear-based, which is why I noted the obvious contradiction.

Social distancing in Cozumel Carnival 2020, last week of February . Please note Covid-19 was already an issue, the Diamond Princess Quarantine began on 4 February.
A bit of fear is not necessarily a bad thing. For many people in circumstances like this one, fear is the only thing that will motivate them to do what needs to be done.
I am concerned about a resurgence of COVID-19 as restrictions are relaxed as well. Why would there not be? The disease is still out there and much more widespread than it was in March, a very low percentage of the population enjoy any of the benefits of immunity that come from having had the disease if such immunity does in fact exist, and we still have no vaccine or effective treatment drugs to fight it. A place like Cozumel which attracts visitors from all over the world seems to me to be especially vulnerable to a second (or third, or...) wave of the malady.
I sincerely hope that we are on the "back side" of this thing, but I can't say that I have much confidence that that is the case.

Yep, it's out there and wide spread. The experts don't even know if recovering from it provides future immunities, if plasma from those recovered can help an afflicted person, or if a vaccine is even possible. So far it seems so inevitable that we're going to have to live with it, if we can. I keep hoping for better news from real experts.
Yep, then those visitors reseeding their homelands on return. Several days cramped together on those floating resorts can certainly aid in spreading. The 1918 Flu traveled in waves partly with returning WWI service members returned from overseas, but our transportation is much more efficient this century. I'm not expecting waves so much as repeated hot spots and explosions.
