Monkey Man Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Abel's Pub posted on Facebook several pics of Servpro cleaning the place today. I feel bad for the Abel's owners, they've been through a lot. Knowing what I know about the west side of Binghamton, I think it's entirely possible several Abel's regulars didn't know for days if they were severely hungover, or had Covid symptoms. So they continued drinking. That could explain how it spread in such big numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear masks when I'm in public spaces that require it because it's been proven to help slow the spread and it's the right thing to do. I'm not the selfish prick in Price Chopper with no mask, a Don't Tread on Me t-shirt with the MAGA hat on (yes, he was a real person). OK, Karen.

With so many people in grocers, wal mart and other stores and public places browsing, touching items, removing masks to read product labels/sizes/country of origin and so on when is the disinfecting done? This whole thing sounds like a white supremacist plot to me. Why else would some school districts requiring remote classes also require students at home to wear a mask during "class"? 101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 OMG...I just heard Beverly on WNBF say she was forced to wear gloves in a grocery store. Like gloves don't get contaminated, not to mention some are semi permeable anyway. Wear a mask, wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough with your sleeve...stay away from super crowded places. If there are a ton of cars in the parking lot go shop somewhere else. This isn't freaking difficult people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Binghamtonian, names of insignificant things often elude me, but events seldom do. Without going back a few weeks i can not give you the specific districts but it was "locally" minimally reported around the same time as the propagandist (sorry, teacher) was complaining about Parents listening in on vr teaching. It seems with split classes those in class would be better students if they see on monitors that their classmates at home are required to wear masks. 101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any school requiring it is ridiculous for doing so. Kids are getting mask breaks in school every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best workaround is to have a pic wearing a mask in front of the camera - like Cartman in South Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 I wouldn't doubt JB. It's that same logic that placed covid 19 positive patients in nursings homes, including a 20 yr old who beat the crap out of a frail senior with dementia. Let me see if I can find that video. Here it is...greedy nursing home...and Cuomo is trying to say he didn't mandate nursing homes to accept patients , Liar.

Dee Bradley Baker Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 This just in - local band "The Yada Yadas" will be making several appearances next weekend at establishments that have had a difficult time complying with COVID-19 safety regulations - Abel's Pun and the Old Union Hotel among them.

How are Abel's and the Union not complying? Do we know it wasn't a customer or two that went in and spread it while the staff at both places were in compliance? Seriously, I am asking and would like to know because it sounds like a few of you seem to know exactly what has happened at both these places.

We heard the other day a Union bartender has Covid and they deliberately covered it up so they could stay open as long as possible. I know who the person in question is, and our neighborhood is pretty sure his entire family does have Covid and he does work at Union a few nights a week. If even one person contracts it from the Union they could have a major lawsuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely out of curiosity, are we talking about a middle-aged individual who also does shifts at a certain other West Side establishment? I'm not naming names here because they did nothing wrong, but I know one employee at this establishment I'm thinking of had it and had a very hard fight with it, it'd make sense if that person gave it to this bartender.

Seriously, I am asking and would like to know because it sounds like a few of you seem to know exactly what has happened at both these places. Through a lapse of my own judgment, I visited both of these establishments earlier this summer. Mask wearing was not enforced when folks were walking around, large groups were congregating, and at Abel's in particular, no attempt was made to space out seating whatsoever. Aside from that, both establishments have had local bands perform, drawing large crowds. While I have not been back to these places after what I observed, folks that I know who have continued going into these bars have confirmed to me that it is essentially a free-for-all. I am not saying that I agree with the state's regulations or not. I am not a public health expert, so I cannot say for sure whether they are helpful. But I think there is something to be said that this massive outbreak started in a place (Abel's) that made no attempt to encourage social distancing or mask-wearing. And I think it shows very poor judgment that they would have a band coming in right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
