Parkchester (And Soundview) Coronavirus NYC Food Resource Guide/Website
I placed the link to this website at the bottom of this post so you might first look at some information from it I had copy & pasted here: This "Inside Parkchester" post is basically a breakdown of this website's contents. Here I've included:
[ 1 ] Two food resource hubs:
(1) Grab-and-Go Meal Distribution Sites (Parkchester & Soundview Locations)
(2) Red Rabbit (Bronx Locations).
[ 2 ] Below that I've created a short list of other resources found on actual website that Parkchester residents may want to use, including services that may help folks 60-yrs old and above; services for the homeless; and services for folks with immigration problems, etc.
WORTH NOTING:
Website has a lot more info than presented here and may eventually be worth a visit. Also, please try to verify accuracy of any info provided when necessary. For one example, before visiting any food hub, verify it will be opened (and the hours) on that exact day you may be planning a visit.
Link to actual website, once again, is at the very bottom of this "Inside Parkchester" post.

Parkchester: Some good Info about where we are in regard to producing a VACCINE that really works against COVID-19
Getting into the habit of being "well-informed" is a good trait.
This can be beneficial in so many different contexts.
Let's talk about this in regard to our current predicament, battling COVID 19.
Talking heads on traditional, mainstream televised news intermittently talk about the race to find a vaccine, but never, at least as of yet, had offered indepth info. I think, down the line, they will.
In the meantime, let me offer some excellent info I had stumbled upon today about this urgent and unprecedented race to produce a vaccine. (Info is current, published just three days ago.)
Furthermore, this info is posted on a website whose curators insist contributing writers have achieved a certain degree of professionalism:
Site states: "To be published by The Conversation you must be currently employed as a researcher or academic with a university or research institution. PhD candidates under supervision by an academic can write for us, but we don’t currently publish articles from Masters students."
Website's tag reads: "Academic rigor, journalistic flair"
In my mind, the information presented here is less likely to mislead (be "fake news" or "misinformation"), and an excellent starting point for anyone that may desire to do further research on the race to produce an effective and safe vaccine to fight current the coronavirus pandemic.
Title of this very informative article (@ theconversation.com) is:
What needs to go right to get a coronavirus vaccine in 12-18 months

An Opinion: Heroes? Essential? Parkchester, What does It All Mean?
An Opinion: Heroes? Essential? Parkchester, What does It All Mean?
Some say common sense isn't so common anymore. I tend to agree.
Common sense says healthcare workers were always "essential," from the beginning of humankind and definitely long before our current situation, dealing with this COVID19 pandemic. I would say the same for persons in hospitals that do janitorial duties to keep hospitals as clean and sterilized as possible.
Calling "frontline workers" in hospital "heroes" is really propoganda to me. In a good kind of way, but still propoganda. Think about it... It's obvious today, in context to healthcare workers, "frontline" means working in close and constant proximity to this deadly virus as these workers fight to cure and save lives of people sickened with this virus. And that is to be commended. But this is what doctors, nurses, etc do. It's their job, to many even a calling. And that's a beautiful thing. But are these doctors and nurses heroes? I wouldn't say so.
Firefighters and police killed trying to save lives when the World Trade buildings collasped were doing their jobs, too. And I commend and pray for all killed in their valiant efforts to save LIVES. But, I wouldn't call them befallen heroes. A policeman's job is a dangerous, particularly in seriously high crime areas. A firefighter's job is dangerous. Prospective police officers & firefighters know this before accepting the job. Cops and firefighters killed in the line of duty aren't heroes.
Essential? Yes! Without these professionals we, as a society, would be truly f@#%ked.
For another example, teachers have had always been super "essential."(Yet these guys have had been traditionally and are still underpaid, relative to the earnings of others in just as essential occupations, at least here in states. And that's just according to my superficial understanding of that situation.)
Selectively calling out who is a "hero/essential" and spotlighting those chosen in every other news segment and so many TV commercials aired these days is getting a bit ridiculous. But I understand. No doubt, a campaign built around these words can prove very effective empowering and galvanizing those in positions to take a stand and apply themselves to the best of their abilities during dire situations, such as this pandemic. Still, in my mind, folks that step up and do just that are essential, SUPER ESSENTIAL, in fact, and not "heroes."
Actually, all of us can be "essential" human beings if we so desire... And this applies long BEFORE this pandemic.
In my book, an "essential" person is those of us that try --- in a genuinely positive way ---to be the best person we can be and and manifest this via thoughts and actions every single additional day God may grant each and everyone of us. An "essential" person is simply someone that tries, to the best of their abilities, to be an positive asset to society, PERIOD, whether on the job or any other time, not just during a pandemic.
I wish it didn't take our current situation for the words "essential" and "heroes" to be so much in the spotlight.
Stay safe, Parkchester. Stay safe, everybody, the world over.
