Big changes here in Manhattan these past few days. First of all, we are all good here. Our mayor is a mongoloid, but our governor is dong an okay job of keeping things calm.

I live on the Upper East Side- basically a neighborhood starting in the 60's up to 96th Street- from 5th Ave to 1st Ave- Just east of Central Park.

This is Manhattan- we always find a way to overcome and move forward. To that point:

1. Restaurants and bars are closed- but owners have now made walk up food picks ups- and you can get a take away cocktails. Seamless (our food delivery App service) is operating 24/7. Most people in Manhattan have small apartments and do not have large refrigerators to store food, so these guys are awesome.

2. There is plenty of food here. The stores are busy but you can still get things you need. Including Lysol wipes. New York State Police are even escorting countless heavy trucks over the bridges help get critical supplies delivered. UPS, Fedex are operating at holiday levels of packages. Fresh Direct and Amazon Fresh operating at high volume.

4. NYPD and FDNY (our fire service) still taking care of business as is the Manhattan Sheriff and countless other 3 letter agencies operating here. I have not heard of any upticks in crime yet.

5. Manhattan is probably better equipped to handle things than just about anywhere the world after what we went through on 9-11. There are tons of equipment and highly trained first responders in NYC.

6. Subways and rail are all still running.

Everyone is confined to working at home, but people are going outside.

Have site friends on 3 continents here. Hoping they post what is going on in their countries.

Stay safe cunts.
