I was at CP when the mayflies came a few years ago. Watching people wipe the dead carcasses off their faces at the end of millennium force was hilarious. I still rode after seeing that, but looked down and covered my face the whole time.
Unless it’s Halloweekends, once twilight starts, never sit in the front of a roller coaster at CP.
Yes. Harmless, but gross. (And maybe not harmless if you in the front row of Millenium Force!)
Yes, the Irish Festival is August 6-8 so hopefully it happens. Though looking at those dates, God willing, we will miss it this year due to being in Hawaii for our 25th anniversary! Hoping for a normal summer and Hawaii allowing travelers.
A old NY times article details what happened last spring time.
See Which States and Cities Have Told Residents to Stay at Home (Published 2020)
In an attempt to stop the spread of the coronavirus, a vast majority of states and the Navajo Nation have given directives, affecting more than nine in 10 U.S. residents.www.nytimes.com
One explain of what state was ordering:
California About 39.6 million people
California, America’s most populous state, was the first to order all residents to stay home. Others quickly followed suit. “This is not a permanent state, this is a moment in time,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said. “We will look back at these decisions as pivotal.”
Stay at home, effective March 19
I guess you missed the "stay inside, stay alive" slogan back then. It doesn't matter what the literal order was, that's how it was "marketed."
Well that's a great reason not to go! Fingers crossed!
I don’t like it. I made an appointment when Ohio was allowing them for everyone but then I found one in a small town earlier and once I was able to secure the sooner appointment, I cancelled the other one. By hoarding, people who don’t have hours on end to search, find no appointments still in local pharmacies.
We always canceled old appointments if we found better. If you don't have hours and you don't know who has dozens, then you are just forced to wait until it becomes easier. I think it's one thing to say "let me help you" to individuals, but another to just book a bunch so you can say "I booked for dozens of people" which is what some seem to do.
Ummm.... It wasn't my perception. People would literally say, "stay inside, stay alive."
Just as the background checks of guns are marketed as “ taking away your second amendment and guns”. You are smarter then that. People will read into what they want.
I'm against it. Partially for the same reason I'm against ticket scalping... it creates an artificial scarcity through an unneeded middleman (or it makes a real scarcity artificially more scarce). I believe economists call this "rent seeking", even if the appointment hoarder is not personally benefitting from the practice.
That is a bit different than the response above saying someone who owned a farm had to stay inside. NYC is a unique scenario, so staying home probably does entail staying inside your actual residence for the most part. But it was never you need to be inside your home 100% of time. It was stay at home and don't go places unless you absolutely need to.
“Safer at Home,” “Shelter in Place.” I’ve said it a million times, words matter. The actual mandates seldom reflected the news marketing.
I know people who talked to pharmacists and gave their phone number to be contacted if someone is a no show.
