NYC folks: would you travel to the city this week? My gut feeling is it’s fine, but team members are cancelling, which makes me wonder if I’m missing something

I wouldn’t feel comfortable traveling here. Looking at precedents from Italy and Korea, there are likely many undiagnosed cases that will come to light next week.

If you have the opportunity to stay home, why risk any possible exposure traveling to an infected city? All it takes is 1 sick person, the guy from WestChester got multiple people sick and as a result there are 1,000 in quarantine in his town and over 4,000 people in quarantine overall in NYC. They expect to confirm more positive cases of the virus, which isn’t surprising considering we are still accepting flights from Italy (only Milan is restricted) and other infected countries with limited precautions at the airport. I live here and will be working remotely all month

Do u know NYC declared emergency? Just avoid crowded places

Also the city is filthy , germs travel through the subway and office building ventilation systems in no time.

Want to but can’t

State of emergency is so the state government can access federal funding. I live in central Manhattan. It’s quieter than usual (and cleaner than usual) but perfectly safe.

Also there is no one in 5X2 with CoVid-19. There are 3 people self quarantining as they may have been at a client site where there may have been someone who may have had contact. But no one has been confirmed as I write this. So please let’s not spread rumors.

How irresponsible to tell people it’s “perfectly safe”.

For anyone that moved to the US a bit later in life (early 30s), do you feel like you are financially behind retirement now by United States standards?

My home country offers free health care, education, affordable living etc and now i’m in the US the only way I think I’ll ever catch up for retirement is by making Partner salary one day but still living like I’m on a Manager salary to save.

Plus on a visa we cannot have other income. This is going to be a long game of catch up.

Question for fellow attorneys:

I applied to a credit card with Chase a few months ago and within 7 days I was told it was rejected and they would send a letter explaining why.

Chase has recently calling to say it expired (they said it wasn’t rejected but I was told on the recorded line that it was).

Isn’t this against the law (fair credit reporting act)?. I’m not a lawyer so I’d love to hear your thoughts
