Unless we travel in the continental US, I think we are grounded for a while. ? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still uncertainty over the immunity level with this anyway. I’m going to get an antibody test, but if it’s negative a system like this is worrisome. I’d be looking to be given Coronavirus just so I could be “permitted” to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Housing is cheap as hell (still) in the area, too. Been there done that and even gave that information to Billstime with the note: one city does not and area code make. Thanks for playing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chile came out with some sort of immunity passport a few weeks ago for COVID-19. Not certain how that will play out as so few people have actually had the virus, and if only those that have had it are going to be allowed to travel in/to Chile... Oh well, we can always travel across country again and I can hit that 50th state. Edited May 4, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Looks like the N95 masks are great (which we have all heard). Any other type of mask? Ummm ... </snip>Laboratory tests showed the penetration of particles through the cloth masks to be very high (97%) compared with medical masks (44%) (used in trial) and 3M 9320 N95 (<0.01%), 3M Vflex 9105 N95 (0.1%). </snip> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see what small Island nations that are completely reliant on tourism economically do. They’d have a severely limited group who would be permitted to travel there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor choice of words by Billstime, but it's certainly not a wealthy area. Define wealthy? I will tell you there is money in the 716. Every major city (like Buffalo/Niagara Falls) has lots of doctors, lawyers, business owners, professional athletes, etc that make a lot of money. Areas like the Deep South, Alaska, rural Midwest and plains, and the deserts of the Southwest are literally dirt poor throughout the whole area. So while the 716 has its share of poor people (every metropolitan area does) it is far from one of the poorest areas in America. He spoke out his ass was called out on it and turned tail. I really do not like that type of poster here who refuses to debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never been flamboyant and my understanding is that a fair amount of it is publicity shy. Rochester is very similar. Allegany County for years was rumored to have a family worth nearly a billion dollars due to the 19th Century oil boom near Wellsville. WNY is definitely not Southern Cal in the way that the rich people conduct themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he always liked to research the cities where he played and said he was surprised to find out that in it's hay day Buffalo had more millionaires per capita than any other city in America. I was surprised to learn that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
