    This thread seems right to me. Cuomo and de Blasio need to shut down NYC right away. I think their position can be made easier if there is pressure put on Federal gov't to provide relief (a cause Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, Sanders, etc should take up).https://twitter.com/StephenLevin33/status/1239028470979723266 …

    I just want to make this clear. We are going to have to #shutdownNYC in the coming days, just like they are doing in Spain and France today. @NYCMayor @NYGovCuomo We have two options-Option 1) We can shut down in an orderly, rational way starting tomorrow morning that accounts 1/

        they need to mail checks out to people, pronto, close everything, and start a militant response on the medical side, including ramping up production of lacking medical equipment like ventilators, then target limited testing resources to keeping critical systems operating

        It will sink Wall Street, so, no one will do it. And the irony is that by not shutdown NYC, the Wall Street will sink even more in the long run.

        He’s term-limited and he’s been so astute about this, more than almost anyone in office. I hope he can find somewhere else to serve more of us.

        Huge lines in NYC food supermarkets right now - what happens after everything is shutdown including schools, restaurants and offices?
