There is a report of a doctor that has moved into his garage to keep his family safe because he obviously can't stop working and thus being exposed. My situation is better because I'm not going to see confirmed sick people every day. However, I'm still exposed to risk that I then bring home 5 days a week. Any precautions are worth taking.

To answer Keith's question, if I get COVID-19 who's going to get it?
Kyle will and all her children and Andrea (if you both are going to the studio) and since you are moving about (should you sneeze or cough) then anyone who then comes around. you touch your face and then touch other things. This is how it became a pandemic.

Also, while this could kill some people with certain health conditions (including asthma, something my wife has) Kieth is not immune to permanent repercussions.
1) There are reports from France and Japan of people getting the COVID-19 twice and the second time it was worse. So, our bodies immunity system is not functioning like it does with other viruses where you gain immunity and can't get it again.
2) Many people who survive the virus have suffered what seems to be permanent reduced respiratory capacity. Which might be a good excuse not to work out so hard but somehow I doubt Kyle will accept even that excuse

Seriously traveling on the subway adding exposure risk just to have sex seems very short sighted and a bad decision.

I luv da show and I have luv for all of you (you too Keith), I want all of you being as safe as possible. I don't want you to put all your lifes on hold but be as safe as you can.

Sorry Scorpion but ist now accepted that you gain immunity after surviving the infection.
How long is not sure. I can only find links to German articles by smart people.

Why couldn't Gal Gadot have gotten her celebs to sing in the same fucking key at least? How hard is it for all these professionals to agree on a starting pitch so the song is listenable. It's just lazy pandering, if you're gonna do it please give a shit next time, a little production quality would be nice (not too much though, just enough).

or a better song choice; Imagine is garbage. i could not roll my eyes far enough into the back of my head.

Oh my god. It hurt my ears. And some of them were hamming it up like it was a festive celebration.

Very glad I have VIP membership, since I'm stuck in Isolation up in Montreal.

I thought I'd share what we're doing up here in Quebec, where we have a much smaller infection rate/population than in NYC:

- All non essential workers are v strongly encouraged to work from home.
- Everything is closed except grocery stores, pharmacies and medical centers. Restaurants can provide take-out / delivery only.
- Schools are closed until May 1st, from daycare to university. Daycare can only open for essential workers like those in healthcare, public transit, security, etc.
- No indoor or outdoor gatherings are allowed, and this will be enforced by the provincial police.
- they are turning the outdoor festival space in the middle of the city into an outdoor screening station to make tests more accessible.

This is all in an effort to exponentially reduce the rate of transmission, since A LOT of people are carriers / have mild symptoms but weren't aware of how contagious they were until the last few days.

I can't even explain how much my life has changed in 7 days. I work in entertainment, and I'm wondering if I'll still have a job in a month. This city's entertainment sector is vibrant and robust, but right now it's a ghost town. We are just doing everything we possibly can to flatten the curve of infection so we can get the party started again.

All that to say - JESUS CHRIST Keith dont take the subway, stay home and masturbate for fucks sake.

K love you both, wash your hands, that's all

This is for poll science reasons.

Last poll I was NOT gettin' it in because I was too stressed.

Things have changed and I'm getting laid. And I'm drinking more. Fuck it all, right? Right. All right!

Bf moved in, and it’s actually going better than it was. Either that, or sex is an exceptional bandaid. But then, that was never our problem. We’re spending more time together than we ever did bc of our demanding schedules ...interesting thought that it took a virus. Either this is transient and it’ll fizzle out, or it’ll be what we needed to figure things out.

Since I work at a hospital, I don’t go near him or anything else in the apartment until I’ve quickly put my clothes in the laundry, and hit the bathroom to have a shower. We had to make this decision because I needed to keep more to myself and we both have loved ones we can’t endanger, so we couldn’t be traveling back and forth to each other. I will say, between the decontamination showers and the post-sex showers, I don’t how long I could keep this up, but I haven’t yet regretted it after the fact. I’m surprised at how happy I am that he’s here, how calming and de-stressing a presence he is in general. I’m waiting for the annoyance to creep in lol. Maybe I’m not around enough to be annoyed, or maybe he’s not...
