That's a vastly different thing that saying they're taking dead bodies out of apartments. Most of the people being picked up are alive and taken to the hospitals. If they die there, they'll be counted.

ambulances transferring patients between other ambulances.

How do we know the 'reason' they are there and not for some other random reason? I dunno. Even without Covid, I always see ambulances around the city, doing, Ambulance things. I dunno.

Paying a fortune to live like a sardine, staring at buildings and concrete 24-7, only to now be stuck in the epicenter of U.S. coronavirus outbreak. Those with means have voted with their travel bags -- nope, not worth it.

If it's not worth it, why is it worth it to post in the NYC forum? Go learn a new skill or something. I know I'm taking this time to do well in my masters studies, hopefully putting greater focus into learning Japanese.

Taiwan and Singapore, though Singapore is a small city-state. Japan's odd because it seems to be dealing with it fairly well so far, but hasn't really ramped up efforts in quite the same way that South Korea and Taiwan have.

Have you ever tried language learning plugins for Netflix? It really ramped things up for me.

If it's not worth it to you, as it ever occurred to you it may be worth it to somebody else?

Not all wealthy New Yorkers have left NYC, not all wealthy Manhattanites have left Manhattan.

Fox News has said that Manhattan’s real estate market already shows signs of decline.

Here’s how the epidemic is already affecting other cities.

We will have more data obviously later in this year tu know the true effects. It’s a little early for that.
