Last night I heard on NBC News that nearly 500 law enforcement officers were infected in NYC. There have been over a dozen deaths from Covid-19 each day for three or four days at a one hospital in Queens. Starts with a P. The City is very concerned for their first responders, but I can't remember if they mentioned any had the virus.
Two weeks ago an emergency room doctor in NYC died of Covid-19.
I hope after this is over that perhaps people can be put to work, rehabbing many of the outdated buildings where people live with unworkable fire escapes and lack of safe exit if there were a fire. The whole city, the bumpy sidewalks and the trap doors leading into basements in the sidewalks have so many safety hazards that folks here wouldn't put up with for a New York Minute!
