De Blasio considering NYC lockdown amid coronavirus surge




New York City's coronavirus cases have skyrocketed in less than a week from 25 on Monday to 269 Sunday as Mayor Bill de Blasio considers locking down the Big Apple to contain the outbreak.

"Every option is on the table in a crisis," de Blasio said Sunday morning on CNN.

"We've never seen anything like this," he said.

De Blasio expects the city's coronavirus tally to rise to 1,000 in the next few days.

"It's changing every hour so we're going to constantly make new decisions," de Blasio said about the dynamic public health emergency.

He also called on the Trump administration to assume a war-time footing.

"We need the federal government to take over the supply change right now," he said.

We need to stop the spread of this, that's what's gonna save lives. I understand now why containment is serious even though the virus isn't that deadly.

The point of the containment is more focused on the spaces available in the designated ICU areas.

Italy not initially doing a lockdown led to their being no spaces, breathing devices etc to help save lives.

Now imagine this mess in the US with the class systems. The uninsured  :plzstop:
Its better everyone suffers a month than the other extreme.

My sister works at Mount Sanai in Manhattan and says the number of infected ppl has  jumped ridiculously. They barely have space in the ER anymore and they're trying to put them in different units

:-/

And before you know it they will
Just starting killing ppl with low survival rates or funds.

The mayor can keep delaying all he wants. The hunger games are here.

!!!

Can you believe people are still HUNCHING up in bars and restaurants in NYC , laughing and dancing...

My heart goes out to the business owners who will be affected and I know they are praying a shut down doesn't happen.

So far, they've been ordered to keep their capacity at HALF of what is allowed. So if your restaurant can sit 300 comfortably, you can only have 150 max right now.

They should have seen coming 0% capacity coming next. I def saw it inching there.

There's gonna be more deaths with this lockdown, so we damned if we do/damned if we don't. The moment we get an hour of a blackout the old girls drop dead.

DeBlasio is most hesitant on shutting down schools because he knows a lot of single mothers out there relying on school to keep their kids while they work jobs that are most likely in the service industry somewhere and don't allow them to give a work from home mess. Not only that but, reliant on schools for breakfast and lunch because they are lower income.  :'(

That will devastate those families.

So that's why I actually appreciate him trying to hold out on certain things and making sure it's absolutely necessary before he just starts pressing buttons. But his hand will ultimately be forced.
