Yep. Given density or population and amount of travellers/population movement, I agree.kinda expect us to be more Italy than ROK but
but not much we can do except do your part, stay home & hope for the best

Also, lack of testing and tracing is big issue. We need to test everyone that has symptons and they show positive test everyone they have been in contact with. All positive tests get isolated.
I am not sure Big shutdowns will work. However, not knowing where the virus is I am not sure what else we can do.

I think a big shut down is the only think that can slow it down. My concern is whether the hospitals can handle so many sick people. Big shutdowns have helped in other countries. I really hope they do so in NYC. In NJ you already have hospitals turning people away.

Testing and tracing and more testing is more effective but we don’t have capacity to do that right yet. So until then shutting down is what we need to do.

oh i agree. Until we can do that testing, we need to slow it down though to give our hospitals a fighting chance.

Yeah, that's the new number. I've been going with health.ny.gov now which I guess updates more than once a day. I guess I'll wait for the 8PM update going forward for a more accurate number.
Thank you for asking.
He decided to go ahead and quit the Barista job and dive into Code Academy full time. He came home to Knoxville yesterday.
He loves NYC and wants to live there. But for now, he's here and I feel better about that.
For you folks with children who are young adults, it's a weird balance of how much to "parent". Thanks for the feedback and help here. It's appreciated.

FWIW, when he’s trained up there are (were?) an absurd number of tech startups here looking for anyone that can code a little bit (he probably already knows this). I’d also advise learning Android.
I work for a 4-year old Fintech firm on the fin side of fintech.
Thanks so much. That's his thinking and I agree. Seems like the right career area for sure. He's excited about it and I'm excited for him.

Does anyone know of a way to call the Mayor's office? Sort of like how you call a congressman's office. Only links I get are 311 but I think it is a huge disaster to keep schools open on Monday and I want to call and tell them that. They are supposed to represent us and I want him to know my thoughts on the topic.

Our district councilman posted on facebook that all parents should keep their children home.
The head of the nurses union came out and said they advised closing the schools when the clown said this morning that they asked him to keep the schools open so he's clearly a liar.

My kids are not going in and didn't go in Friday either but not sure everyone is so focussed on this as people here.

Apparently you have to call the school and tell them your child's out due to covid19 and their absence will be marked with a special code and won't count against them. I didn't on Friday. I will tomorrow.

311 is giant blackhole. When I worked for a congressman you had the ability to call the office itself and talk to someone. Not some vague standardized system. Might not existing here but wondering if it does.

0-100 real quick. Have they imposed a curfew yet? That needs to happen.

A month.
Wow.
What are fully employed households supposed to do? Not saying this is the wrong move...but this is going to be a massive, massive hit to the economy just from this move for people who have to stay home to take care of these kids... at a personal and corporate/commercial level.

That’s probably a good place to be. I’m trying to convince my uncle to go stay out there at his place and ride it out.
although i guess that depends if the hospitals may be understaffed this time of year right now.

Yea man it’s going to be rough for many people. I hope we have things in place so people don’t starve. I am seeing companies saying they won’t shut off lights or cable or water, etc. Italy halted mortgage payments. It’s going to take a lot and our economy will suffer for a very long time.

I've heard this from two contacts who are out there. The supply chain is not as strong out there and that's where everyone went.

What are your plans with your kids for the next month? Do you keep them indoors for a month? Obviously not bringing them to movies or malls, that's just selfish but do you bring them anywhere?
My son had a hitting lesson yesterday and im not sure I should cancel or or not. The instructor said if I cancel the are tons of kids looking to book sessions with no youth sports going on now. So I don't know what to do. It's a half hour one on one session.

Hitting lesson sounds fine, imo. Just be safe in terms of physical contact and getting to and from (gloves, hand washing, etc)

I have no idea. I’m WFH tomorrow with an 8 year old as JPM is making my wife go to work. It’s going to be interesting.
My son’s in a dead period for hockey, so we go shoot hoops if there’s no one else there. My wife asked about play dates and I scoffed (which got a dirty look).
Fairway was pretty stocked now besides for flour, bread, some staples (though you could rummage). Granted I don’t think it matters, but I wouldn’t go out to the Hamptons with the lack of doctors. I’m guessing it won’t matter, but who knows.

My head is all spinning. I meant to say tomorrow and it's actually a pitching lesson so no gloves. Im gonna bring him and just bring sanitizer making sure he doesn't touch his face. He wears a silver chain that he's constantly putting in his mouth that i won't let him wear and no water bottle. He can drink when he gets home.

we have been going to parks. No playgrounds but wide open space. However they have now closed the parks. So i guess its just walks around town and in the backyard. Cant stay inside for a month. we wont do playdates though or anything like that.

Left Friday night, landed 5 minutes from Disney Saturday night.
Walmart here was basically fully stocked. I cleared the shelves of the important stuff like booze, floats, sandcastle toys.
Being stuck in my apartment for weeks if not months on end was pretty overwhelming, it’s just too small.
Today in 3k square feet with a pool and nice weather, makes me wonder why we put ourselves through NYC.
Even for a small pay-cut, I think I’d consider leaving.
I’m out for at least 6 weeks, hope to be back by then, but that feels mighty iffy right now.
GLTA!

Reading that all these billionaire dip####s are fighting for toilet paper in the Hamptons is pretty entertaining.
