    dont need to try every shitty white trash event in the world to know they are shit. never been to an insane clown posse concert or been addicted to opiods either.

    if you want to go somewhere, go there. dont sit a on a disease vessel with old people drinking $17 umbrella drinks.

    My idea of a great vacation doesn't include being in close proximity to 2000 to 3000 other people not including the crew. Those cruise ships are nothing but giant floating hotel rooms. The reasonably priced rooms are tiny and don't have an ocean view.

    Only way I would go on a cruise would be if I was really, really good at shuffleboard and the geriatric set liked to play for high stakes.

    Right. I've never been to a tractor pull or monster truck whatever they call them but I would rather go to either than take a cruise. They are over quicker and the beer is cheaper.

    Yes, I realize that, but the spread in these places is outpacing the rest of the Nation.

    Could it be a little entitled behavior is playing a role? Like the guy who comes in to Westchester, party’s his ass off and exposed 100s of people? Texas has an international airport, why don’t they have 1300 cases? Georgia has an international airport and they don’t have 1300 cases.

    What sticks out in my mind was Deblasios attitude towards shutting things down. That couple of days of being an asshole could be ..... could be ..... a contributor to NY skyrocketing to the top of the list.

    Update .... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/18/nyregion/coronavirus-new-york-update.html
    Dumbass DeBlasio is still sitting back wanting “somebody else” to fix the Problem. Demanding the military come in and fight the spread. This inept Governor should be immediately impeached and replaced by someone with a clue. If he wants to stop the spread, he needs to lock the city down for one week, which means, no interaction between groups. The new cases will come to light, and you will easily be able to track contact and put people under observation.

    i think its also about population density. Atlanta is nothing like new york. also NY has two massive international airports and another large domestic one. most flights from europe to the US come through new york. seattle and the west coast have much more exposure to asia. houston and dallas have big populations and intl airports but they are also less dense, and more connected to south and central america where the coasts are connected to europe and asia.

    i agree diblasio is a fuckface but i dont think its about red state/blue state as implied
