I will continue taking public transit to work since I am in health care.

They have been altering schedules so I am hoping for smooth sailing on all fronts.

Do they need people without medical degrees? Can you tell us some positions if they do. I'm looking but all I see are Doctors and Nurses, First responders, etc. I don't see any positions for anyone who hasn't already been in that field or who wants to transition to something close or a support position.

Don't know what you consider "bustling", but live on UES and it most certainly is not, well compared to normal times anyway. By evening and certainly night time this place is a ghost town; streets are empty of mostly all traffic and barely anyone walking about.

Need is greatest for professional nurses and doctors, with perhaps others such as physician assistants, nurse practitioners, etc...

I meant during the day, about a half hour before I made that post on the street near my apartment. Yes, at night it's gotten very quiet.

So skilled, trained people who already have jobs in the field. Good luck with that.

They (meaning the government) know this. However they can't admit there's nothing they can do about this until a vaccine is developed, so they'll have us commit economic suicide in the name of keeping up appearances.
Okay, can you think of an example where a lockdown so far has worked?
