There’s the gray area of guys that were junior line holders (my situation). Bidding the VIL is a gamble. If it goes senior you hold a line. If it goes junior you potentially go to SCR. So guys that were not sitting in a Crashpad may now be solely because of the behavior of others. It’s the game I get it. 31 years flying. I’m not worried about the CP per se. it’s the ability to get food and supplies given the nature of Queens in general.

Concentrated pockets of ethnically similar multi-generational families illegally cohabitating within insufficient square footage. You can’t legally jam grandma or renters in the attic simply by installing drywall. So it’s carry out from the kid that sneezed on my food or jam six inches from someone else in the neighborhood bodega. There’s no good solution. The ethically questionable solution for me is if a fever pops I’m getting out of Dodge ASAP. A Queen’s hospital or field hospital? No thanks. Taking temp twice a day at work.

Lastly, if things REALLY go south I’ve got a license to carry in TX. A shotgun. A rifle. Handguns. I can shoot. My wife can shoot. The kids can shoot. NYC? A maglite? I presume the sickness peak will decline in May. I was declined a VIL in April. They asked for 15 and awarded 5.
