Well right around the end of March I left. As soon as Hoboken decided to have a 10 PM curfew I didn't like what was coming. So I was self isolated for about 3 weeks and left.
When I was there it looked nothing like a war zone. We had a minor run on things at the store, but then it leveled out. Oddly enough it is harder to get Peapod and Amazon Fresh deliveries than to go to the store. They closed the parks and even the dog parks. I couldn't exercise my dog! Before the zombie apocalypse I would get back from the show and go to the dog park about midnight. When it all started and things went nutzo we used to prowl the badlands. Being 6'5" and 285 with a 75 pound German Shepard that is trained for personal protection practically GUARANTEED a "social distancing"! So I came to near Chicago. My sister lives here and it is just not as bad as the hot zone of New York/New Jersey. Not even close. Broadway is now closed until the 7th of June so I won't need to be back until then at the earliest. No matter what you think of what is happening or why it is pretty dark. I will say where I was there was defiantly a "get through this together" vibe that was nice to see.

Keep safe everyone-Our whole country New Zealand, is in a 4 week lockdown,everything is closed except supermarkets that have a 1 person in 1 person out policy
. No swimming allowed,no fishing no driving, or any outdoor activities except local walks or cycling,Police stopping all travel between towns. All trade & shipping still going on as usual. No foreign tourist arrivals at airport as all nz citizens are only people allowed in & the govt puts everybody in 2 week Hotel isolation. Essential workers only ones on the move. Show wise I lost 8 grand in the first week alone with 4 shows cancelled. will be a while until close up corporate events are allowed to be held,similar to everywhere else. Lets all do the best we can & support all Magicians & families and hopefully we will all be entertaining the masses soon because they are going to need it..keep safe |

Wow, that's really a lockdown. Grocery stores 1 in and 1 out. We have a 50% capacity rule here in New Jersey.

Yeah here we had 10,000 in line for the food bank. Not just regulars of course, most were first time folks out of work. Laredo, TX mandatory mask law when out in public. Michigan you cannot even visit neighbors anymore.
And I still have one booking that has not canceled. I feel fortunate. Lifting of restrictions will be soon but will people venture out thinking they might die? That is the perception of course for many. Vaccine is not the issue, we were promised a vaccine for HIV that never happened. I believe this one will happen of course but that is next year at the earliest. Treatment is the key IMO. Its going to happen, its just painful and thankful waiting. If I was reading this thread last year I would think this was a new apocalypse movie thread.

Do some research into how many viruses science has cured and come back.
It is just amazing how easy sheep are to scare.

“Larger gatherings — conferences, concerts, sporting events — when people say they’re going to reschedule this conference or graduation event for October 2020, I have no idea how they think that’s a plausible possibility. I think those things will be the last to return. Realistically we’re talking fall 2021 at the earliest.” Quoted from the New York Times - “Zeke Emanuel is vice provost for global initiatives and director of the Healthcare Transformation Institute at the University of Pennsylvania”
As with the quotes from Penn and Bill Gates... I hope he’s wrong. |

Sorry if that came out harshly thomas, it’s just that those sources in particular hit a bit of a nerve.
Didn’t mean to sound insulting. And with that, I’m moving on to more magical threads lol. Peace and health to all.

People as I said by and large are not in areas affected by this. They are not going to put up with it for long.
I don't want to devolve this into political nonsense, but suffice as to say projections are WAY high and keep getting revised down. People are being hurt financially. BADLY and want back to work. They are just not going to tolerate this. I don't know what is right or what is wrong or what is or is not safe or not safe. I just know people fairly well. As a nation they are getting tired of this. What this means for opening up things I have NO idea.

Trump will begin meeting with his 'get back to work' task force today. I'm sure Trump wants a May 1st start, the experts say June, July, or even 18 months from now! I suspect a compromise will be reached. I hoping for May 11th but I wouldn't be surprised to see a June 1st start.
A reminder, nearly 38,000 people die every year in the US from car accidents, but do we stay at home and shut down the country? No, we put on a seat belt (take precautions) and go on with life. Life is risky, there are no guarantees. I'll continue keeping my distance from people and washing my hands, but I'm willing to take the risk.

Ventured downtown today. A city of almost 2 million people. Saw one theater where a stage magic show use to be held another flier for another magic show. I had a possible gig working on one show a month gig downtown. Surreal now, a virtual ghost town with the only people homeless, workers or a few others taking photos of the apocalypse.
Stopped by one store on the way back and paid $17 for paper towels. I agree Danny. Open things back up. I and many others can take precautions and lets get the workers back. It will still not be normal but ease back at least.

$17.00?! We’re all in the wrong business lol.
The Gaslamp in San Diego looks like a set for a zombie movie. Surreal.

Were the towels at least a quality double ply?
