I'm in NY. There are plenty of people outside - you would not know the city is supposed to be on lockdown. I think we're in trouble.
Pretty empty
To be fair, I'm just looking out the window in my residential neighborhood. I imagine it's different in retail / nightlife areas.
Also in term of people died, after the hospitals are full, doctors and nurses are sick, and healthcare system is collapsed
Today, NY health officials have directed medical providers to stop giving patients tests for COVID-19 except for those sick enough to require hospitalization. Without knowing who’s infected and isolating them, and with people still going out and not practicing social distancing, NY could be becoming worse than Wuhan
If people don't get tested, the number won't count. If most of the people are having mild symptom, it will be like a flu. So there is no way to know if it becomes worse than Wuhan.
Cuomo is smart to ramp up testing so early. With this high confirmed case number, NY can get more attention and justify to take more resources than other states.
I hope Cuomo orders a true police-enforced curfew next week. We need to stop it in it’s tracks. Now.
He should have done this earlier
You’re probably right, but it’s hard to tell businesses they have to close indefinitely and potentially lose everything (i.e. go bankrupt) when the numbers of cases isn’t that high. Hindsight is always 20/20. At least he’s working day and night now and taking drastic measures. I have far more faith in Cuomo than in the president - I know, a low bar.
If it's worse than Wuhan then the virus will be renamed as NYvirus by the Chinese gov
No one can take the name from the greatest US president ever, it must named after him, only the dealiest fit the invisible Trump
I think NY government owns this by not doing shelter in place earlier. Cuomo repeatedly said that they won't shelter in place until very late when they have thousands of cases per day. California governments have done much better jobs.
Might be in statistics but will not be in real senses. Because Wuhan is hiding their data
It won’t be. Governor doing a great job. NYC stands tall in tough times and I feel will reach peak in a week or two
Too optimistic, it takes longer to bend exponential growth
Actually 4 days ago, governor said it would reach peak in 45 days
