    Landlords and COVID-19

    Unfortunately, it looks like gentrification is here. Come January, they apparently want to kick out everybody who is still here. Put us out on the street, in the middle of winter during a pandemic. Then, when they've done the fixups, crank up the rents for their future tenants. This sucks.

    Fake News: Study Says Quit This Bad Habit Before COVID Vaccine

    All just speculation, no actual outcome of influenza infections. Speculation is cheap. Also, the next study to come along may report no differences, but receive no publicity, because it doesn't fit The Narrative.

    Landlords and COVID-19

    I've let the landlords in in the past, so they know I'm not hiding anything. They know it's for health reasons. Now the plot thickens: Dane County Public Health has just banned all indoor gatherings, including private homes, meaning people other than immediate household members. Not sure how...

    Landlords and COVID-19

    I don't want to get COVID-19. Wisconsin is now the 4th highest in new infections. Apologies to the landlords but sometimes stuff happens. They know that I'm at extremely high risk, so this is not just a pretext to keep the landlords out.

    Landlords and COVID-19

    Well, the latest word is that 15 minutes indoors equals an exposure. They should have done it earlier in the year, before it got too cold to leave the windows open.

    Landlords and COVID-19

    Yeah, I was worried that they might be flippers. But my neighbor said there's too much money to let it go. My main concern is that they evict us all, just to get us out of the way.

    Landlords and COVID-19

    Our landlords posted a notice on our doors that they would enter our apartments to measure the windows. Another tenant and I promptly posted that we would refuse them entry due to the COVID-19 situation. So far, no entry. They haven't tried to discuss the situation, either. I think the least...
