Terminal 5 deserted. When does it end?
Did one of the few departures out of JFK last couple days. A ghost town. It’s sad, disturbing. Even Starbucks closed at 3p. No one at KCM or security. Had a broken pairing with overnight in Long Island City. Walked next door to neighborhood grocery/bodega/deli (typical Queens style place) for coffee. Clerk wearing mask half way. Two guys cooking food no mask. Guy cracking eggs no gloves. Guy in scrubs in line at grill. Wearing mask and has a badge that says MD. Eye balls me for no mask. Doc orders omelette. I’m like the guy cooking you food has no mask or gloves and the self serve coffee bar over there is being touched by everyone. Me included. Those pots, creamer carafes, and lids didn’t get wiped down between people. And you’ve got an exposed stethoscope hanging around your neck. And frankly if I lived in NYC I’d bring my own food to a hospital but you do you I guess.
i don’t get the half baked “sort of” effort on this. The irony is hilarious. Scuttle the economy - and don’t take cash because that’s “dirty” - but here take my plastic debit card and don’t wipe down the pin pad between customers. Happened at Lowe’s. The clerk is behind plexiglass now but I watched three people touch the pin pad with their fingers one after another. People touch the pin pad at the ATM without gloves. I’m sure Wells Fargo is out wiping the ATM between customers. Right.
As I watch this industry burn to the ground, I’m appalled at the basic lack of common sense. We’re either over doing or under doing this but this middle of the road thing is killing us.

Just incredibly hard to read with all the word vomit for something that’s been discussed ad nauseam. Some civilians lack common sense in their response to Covid-19, got it. Do what you want though.
