i am not believing anyone. China is the only country now that is open to business. NYC is maybe two months away or longer from that.

you can keep denying NYC is the epicenter, but that won't change anything, and certainly won't make one less life lost to this virus

Nurses and doctors are not the only healthcare workers that exist genius. People are putting their lives at risk day in day out for salaries that do not pay enough for them to live in this city. Yet they're supposed to die for it?

If they can stay home forever without having to work, I say more power to them. However, we know most people eventually has to go back to work, if not for income then for some purpose to their lives. People were not meant to stay idle forever. People need to do things with their lives.

Oh and the grocery workers need to buy food too. Food does not magically appear in their apartments.

actually a lot of grocery stores have to be shut because a lot of the workers decided not to show up for work. That's a big problem, because people have to wait in long lines, and crowd the stores that remain open

THe compensation has to rise to a level that is commensurate with the risk.
