As far as we know it can’t get through your skin it needs to get to a mucous membrane

Air out the car, most likely it has been sitting around for a few hours already anyway but wait longer if that makes you feel better
Wipe down the surfaces and don’t stick your fingers into your eyes or mouths before you wash them and you’ll be fine.

I went camping 3 weeks ago up to Clarence Fahnstock park (which is our favorite north of the city camp). We do own a car, so we did not have to be worried about the rental. We HAVE gone up via the metro north to Cold Spring and called a cab to drive us the rest of the way, but that was when we were broke and didn't have a car yet

At Fahnstock: they regularly cleaned the bathrooms, everyone wore masks when not at their site. And I peed outside 50% of the time any ways. They also closed off any sites that were next to each other for added safety.

There were quite a few obvious first timers camping (a lot of people who only stayed 1 night) and didn't have much gear.

All that, it's not "risk-free" - it all hinges on how you feel about the rental car. But if you do research and feel good about that, all other aspects should be pretty low-risk once you are at the campground.

There also is always camping at Flloyd Bennet Field in BK. It's not as relaxing, but you can maybe get someone you trust to drive you there OR if you were feeling really badass, get your gear on bikes and ride there.

So when Keith is telling the story of Pat's wife sobbing about them breaking up and then asking for money to help her deal with the break up...

Did anyone else think SCAM? They wont break up, they will separate in the same apartment until they make up and then keep all the money to help them separate.

That's all I thought...

The US is actually the source of the new infections in Japan.

Camping is so soothing. If the concrete jungle has campgrounds, and they’re not currently full to the brim of New Yorkers tripping in awe of nature found outside cannibal rats and pigeon shit, I vote yes

Out here it’s so easy to stay away from people. And much of the state is like one giant campground/hikers paradise.
