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.

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:

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.

Parkchester Store Owner Takes Care of Neighborhood Shoppers by Stockpiling TOILET PAPER.
LINK to article: https://nypost.com/2020/03/20/bronx-shops-flush-with-toilet-paper-while-big-stores-wiped-clean-amid-coronavirus-outbreak/
This store owner tries to serve people in his Parkchester neighborhood---however, seemingly to the exclusion of others.
Right or wrong, this is what this particular shop owner feels he needs to do in his community.
Do you agree or disagree?
How would you feel if you walked into this store and couldn't buy one or two rolls of toilet tissue because the owner didn't recognize you as a resident of the neighborhood?
Article even quotes this Parkchester shop owner as saying "I'm not going to sell [toilet tissue] to anyone from Queens."
(That's crazy. How would he even know a customer is from Queens? Or any other borough?)
Could you be objective and say the shop owner actions are reasonable considering the current coronavirus pandemic and communities having to do what best for themselves in order to help in the overall battle to contain it?
Or would you say the shop owner is dead-wrong denying anybody from paying for one or two rolls of toilet paper, under any circumstance?
Let me point out this is the case of a single Parkchester-based shop owner who happens to be featured in this New York Post article.
Another store owner from Castle Hill is quoted saying "hopefully people come in and buy [our toilet paper] then business will go up."

Parkchester -- Enforcing Social-distancing ls a Good Thing. So What To Do If It Isn't Practiced Where You Work?
Are businesses doing everything possible when it comes to practicing social-distancing. I don't think so.This is based on my own current situation.
The business I work for is a packer of pharmaceuticals. I think most would agree such a business may be needed even moreso now during the coronavirus pandemic. And in that case one might think keeping workers in that kind of environment safe as possible from contacing the coronavirus would be a top priority. Is protecting employess at medical facilities where the risk is higher more of a prioroty? Perhaps so. But still blatant disregard for protecting workers in less high risk areas is neglectful and wrong.
My current employer seems to disregard the fact that so many workers are constantly in close contact while working the various machines that prep the products it sells (i.e. hand sanitizer, mouthwash, etc) for shipment.
For example, two workers may be stationed about two feet apart, across from each other, at a table at the end of a conveyor belt where product is sealed by hand before being boxed for shipping.
Or workers may be standing side by side, less than a feet apart, alongside a conveyor belt that moves product along.
Seems even too many of the supervisors in the place disregard social-distancing.
We are constantly being reminded to practice social-distancing (and I agree). But why is it, no matter what keywords I use on a google search, I can't find a single entry on what to do if caught up in a job where social-distancing isn't taken seriously.
I want to quit but not certain that's the best option. The bills still have to be paid.
I'm sure a lot of other people have this same problem on their jobs too.
In addition to the law cracking down on small businesses (i.e. nail salons, bars, retail stores, outdoor vendors, etc.) to make sure these owners are complying with social-distancing in the workplace, the same type enforcement needs to be applied to billion dollar businesses too. Especially businesses whose products/services may be more essential now in this time of crisis.
Hope this is not a case of selective enforcement.

A Webpage About The Coronavirus Pandemic I think Most Parkchester Residents and Visitors Will Really Appreciate
The Inside Parkchester blog (www.insideparkchester.blogspot.com) would like to post the link to a webpage we've stumbled onto earlier today (March 16, 2020). Coincidentally info on that webpage has also been "updated" today.
I gave it a quick read in its entirety and immediately felt others truly concerned about the coronavirus and trying their best to prepare for whatever will come might appreciate too.
No, I'm not an an expert, but this info seems factually on-point beyond a lot of stuff I've read online and even heard on the news. It's a questions and answers sort of thing, and speaks to almost every concern the general public might have about the coronavirus pandemic.
I even noted a question or two answered along the line of ...we don't know yet... I could appreciate the honesty.
Please read thoroughly (I plan on going over it one more time). Also, please share the link provided just below with family and friends close to you.

Parkchester, The Coronavirus Pandemic, and Being Aware of Possible Misinformation.
Misinformation is more rampant than ever in most modern societies (especially since the advent of the internet and the worldwide web.) And unfortunately this is so true regarding info circulating about the coronavirus pandemic.
Still, coming into what could actually be misinformation could be a good thing. That bit of information could actually serve as the jump-off to finding actual facts.
A true fact-finder might not disregard such information, but rather research it further. He or she will eventually come into information, such as a consensus amongst noted authorities on the topic, that validates or debunks such information.
I say all this because a March 12, 2020 article I saw on the NY Post website states something I don't know (at this time) to be 100% true but think is worth bringing to the attention of all in Parkchester concerned about the coronavirus pandemic.
That Article:
Coronavirus can survive 5 weeks in body after infection: study
By Hannah Sparks March 12, 2020 | 3:19pm
https://nypost.com/2020/03/12/coronavirus-can-survive-5-weeks-in-body-after-infection-study/
First paragraph states: "Scientists have discovered that coronavirus could linger in patients for more than a month, which means it’s possible they could transmit the virus long after symptoms subside."
Furthermore and this the more critical part in my opinion: "[These] findings... indicate that the current recommendation for isolation — two weeks — may not go far enough to prevent transmission of the virus."
If interested in knowing the actual facts regarding this specific aspect of the coronavirus you will look further into it.

Here are just two examples of the many informative forums available on the site:
"Feedback & Discussions" and "Move to Parkchester: Properties for sale by Owners"
NOW a question !!! …
Have you ever thought how cool it would be to get an immediate response to a question or a point of concern you’ve posted on a forum?
If so, here’s an IDEA (a “lightbulb” moment)… That could help you to this end.
First go to the appropriate forum and post. BUT also leave a time-slot that you will be in the chatroom, awaiting a response to your post (say from 4:00PM to 4:30PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays). Also include in this post the nickname others will recognize you by in the chatroom.
You should also know that if you want your post to appear immediately you must register (link provided below). You can post as a guest, too. This doesn’t require registering but your post must first be approved by site's moderator.
Finally, please note using the chatroom requires absolutely no registering. It’s very, very easy. Just type out what you want to say, provide your nickname and that’s it!!!!!
Try it out.
Registering at Parkchesterinfo.com is recommended before visiting the chatroom. It’s easy and quick. Just look for the “register” button at the upper righthand corner on the page that appears after clicking here.

Parkchester Residents Without Air Conditioners – – Some Helpful Tips !!!
AirConditioner AirConditioning
Ceiling Fans Ceiling Fans
Blistering Heat Blistering Heat
Light Clothing Light Clothing
Summertime Summertime
AirConditioner AirConditioning
So your Parkchester 1bedroom, 2br, or 3br apartment lacks air conditioning as of this reading.
Well, there are still several very simple steps you can take to beat the heat, especially during those blistering hot spells expected during summer months. (Remember the heat wave that just past? WHEW!!!)
By the way, some of these suggestions are also helpful to those concerned with energy conservation.
[ 1 ] During the daytime (especially on very, very hot days) slide curtains over windows to prevent sunlight/sunrays from streaming unchecked into your apartment. Consider this: the sun heats up walls and floors, and this stored-up heat slowly radiates throughout your apartment hours after sunset. Putting up curtain minimizes this.
[ 2 ] You might want to consider bypassing those inexpensive floor fans found in budget stores and investing, instead, in a TOP-QUALITY floor fan. The cooling effect better floor fans provide may surprise you. (Vornado, for example, receives nice ranking here.) Using ceiling fans is another highly recommended option.
[ 3 ] Where possible consider using fluorescent light bulbs. These are available in a variety of sizes & shapes and generate virtually no heat – especially in comparison to regular lightbulbs. Proof??? All you have to do is feel the heat generated from, say, a 100 Watt bulb that has been on for a long-enough period of time. Click here to read more important information about fluorescent bulbs (taken from the NY Times 6/24/2008 edition).
[ 4 ] Consider Shutting off your computer when it is not in use. The computer’s monitor and tower could generate significant amounts of heat. You may even consider using your computer’s “sleep” cycle features to automatically shut down computer when not in use.
[ 5 ] During extremely hot days, taking sporadic, super-quick cool showers as day goes by helps keep body temperature down. Allow yourself to air-dry. Also wear loose-fitting, light clothing. Avoid wearing clothes woven with synthetic (man-made) fabric.

MORE ABOUT PARKING IN PARKCHESTER --
A lot of people familiar with Parkchester seem to agree that finding general parking space could be a nightmare. At least a system of garages are in place.
Here’s some real talk - bad and good - on this issue:
In forum-thread #1 Jorechio informs readers of garage “break-ins” (see last post in this thread). His recommendation: if you choose to use the garages around the Parkchester residential complex install a car alarm system to alert Parkchester's security team.
On a positive note: read TamaraOli26 insights on this issue -- forum-thread #2
