NYC is basically a buffett for Coronavirus. They are doing nothing more than reacting to it now. A massive percentage of the population in Coronavirus petri-dish housing projects, creating an environment where as many inmates get Coronavirus as possible, videos of subways that are packed because they drastically reduced service and many people in lower-income areas still need to get their groceries.

Bill DeBlasio is doing all he can to get the Coronavirus numbers as high as possible in NYC. Reports of a lack of soap, lack of hand sanitizer, pipes breaking flooding the jail with raw sewage and the guards just put the meal tray on the floors full of feces from the broken sewers.

NYC and NY has done a horrific job. They talk a good game but they are basically surrendering to the Coronavirus the still packed subways, communal door and packed single elevator for high-rise skyscraper projects with Coronavirus-laden air going into the HVAC systems

NYC is going to have to take drastic measures. The Chicoms were trapping people in their apartments by boarding them shut. I wouldn't want to see that kind of thing happening in our country, but if people aren't going to do their part to prevent the spread of the virus, something has to happen. Perhaps the government will have to step in and take control of the situation, whether it's the local government, the federal government, probably both. NYC is going to be a danger to the entire country if they can't get this under control.

That ship sailed along time ago. Don't think this can't happen in Omaha or Cheyenne.

Perhaps this is a lesson that we're all human beings and everyone deserves to live in dignity?

Its outrageous that we have the number of homeless people and overcrowded prisons that we have. It could have easily been fixed and it would reduce the number of infections for the whole society.

But I guess serving the endless greed of the top 0.1% is more important than anything else.

It's been wet and cold and the sneezes and coughs of those with Coronavirus are going into the vents and spreading from carriers tiny apartments into other apartments throughout the building.

Some states have it bad, but New York and it's extreme density are a nightmare for this public health issue.

They have one main communal door with a handle at some of the large housing projects and I was watching a video where they have an elevator where every one has touch the buttons and the elevators are packed with people each time.

Some of the subways are still packed because they drastically reduced service. People still need to get groceries.

According to this article 70,000 are in a shelter. Which is an extreme high-density environment, crowding hundreds of people in a small space times many hundreds of those facilities throughout the city.

Having infected people fly over does not infect the people below.

So now it is ok to call it flyover country?

You still have trucks bringing in food, medicines and other essentials. All you need is one infected truck driver making deliveries to multiple supermarkets in one area to kick off the virus spread.

If trucks are still making deliveries to stores, this is not a quarantine then.


NOTHING in and NOTHING out during a quarantine, NO exceptions whatsoever! Looks like the store owners are to blame for this.
