He's only telling the truth. Now about the housing projects. Residents aren't stupid and have access to TVs which are covering this 24/7. The one woman admitted that she wiped down and used Lysol on her floor. You don't have to cram into an elevator with 4 other people - let them go up and then go up when it comes down.
You would need someone on each floor to clean the door handles and elevator doors 24/7 which is impossible.

People need to help each other. That's what is lacking - you are expecting the gov't to do it all for you but when they put conditions - you don't want to follow them because they are violating your rights. People's lives are more important than your rights right now.

Doesn't matter who is President - no one is perfect and mistakes would have been made - sitting here arguing about what this one would have done or that want is fruitless as they aren't in the position. Focus on the situation happening now.

As to outsiders on this forum - many of us do live in other parts of NY and it is our problem - especially when people are escaping the city to our areas and maybe bringing the virus with them. A blizzard in Buffalo that shuts down the city doesn't affect NYC dwellers but a virus like this does affect others in this state as well as in our nation when fools decide to try to escape to other parts of the state or country.

New York City is worldclass city, economic power, 78% of New York State gdp and 6% of United States, it International city, Wall Street, NYC is like special district like Singapore also Hong Kong in Down State New York. Buffalo is just medium size city doesn’t has much affect on state wide level or international level.

You miss the entire point! It's about the fact no matter where the virus is concentrated - no one outside that area wants people running from the infected area into their "space". Had the virus erupted in Buffalo - I'm sure Nyers would feel the same about anyone from Buffalo coming into NYC and spreading the virus there.

Some of you people like to argue just to argue. You're condescending and making points that don't even make sense.

Too fkn bad. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

Oh, I forgot, these are all innocent guys who were just smoking a blunt on the corner.

Is there any difference between this and the fact already NYers were told to quarantine themselves at their destinations if they are to travel anywhere?!
No, it's just another publicity stunt to make it appear like the federal government is doing something.

Everything so far has been just that as far as I can tell.. including all the meaningless corona virus task force media updates. They make stupid personal observations and stupid claims about this and that . It's all a charade. Facts on the ground make it clear that it's still near impossible for anyone to get tested or for a health care worker to get a clean mask. Complete and total incompetence so all they can do is put on these stage shows and make meaningless, unenforceable advisories and pronouncements wrapped in flags and symbols of authority.

Meanwhile, the virus continues to spread like wildfire.

What I’ve seen on Chinese social media is people using the ends of lighter to press the buttons, and then once they get outside, they flick on the flame for a few seconds with the idea that the fire will kill anything off.
