A friend who is an ER nurse at Columbia Presbyterian in Washington Heights says they're getting slammed with severe coronavirus cases, too. He says almost every adult bed in the ER is a COVID-19 rule out. Numerous intubations.

It’s getting bad in NYC and De Blasio might make it worse
Posted by Olog-hai* on Tue Mar 24 22:02:48 2020, in response to It's getting bad in NYC, posted by Dave on Tue Mar 24 14:22:10 2020.* CBS New York Coronavirus Update: Mayor Bill De Blasio Says Any Notion NYC Will Be ‘Back To Normal In April Is Absolutely Inconceivable’ March 24, 2020 at 9:05 pm Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday girded New Yorkers for a long, hard fight against the coronavirus. “I have to be honest about the fact that we do not expect this to go quickly, and I wish we did, but we don’t,” de Blasio said. “But I have to respectfully disagree with [President Donald Trump] when he says, as he said earlier today, that he’s not looking at months for this crisis. I have to say, Mr. President, I wish that was the case for New York City, I hope that’s the case for the other parts of the country, but right now we are looking at months.” De Blasio had previously said estimates on New York City’s medical supplies lasting to the end of the month did not match the increased rate of infection, and supplies were not expected to last the week. “We are doing all we can just to get through March right now, particularly in terms of our health care system,” he said. “April will unquestionably be worse than March, and right now, my fear is May could be worse than April. That’s the reality we’re facing. I think the notion that we could be quote-unquote ‘back to normal’ in April is absolutely inconceivable at this point.” The number of positive cases in New York City was 15,597 as of Tuesday at 6 p.m., with 192 deaths.* The breakdown by borough: 4,667 in Queens 4,407 in Brooklyn 3,013 in Manhattan 2,505 in the Bronx 999 on Staten Island There are at least 2,850 people hospitalized, and at least 660 of those individuals were in the ICU. De Blasio said the city’s most urgent, pressing need is ventilators. “This city must have the ventilators we need,” he said. “They are all over this country. We’ve got to get them here. We have to be the priority for this nation because we’re the epicenter of this crisis.” “It is something that literally is going to be the difference between life and death for thousands upon thousands of New Yorkers,” he said. “If a ventilator is available for a patient stricken with coronavirus, a patient gasping for breath, fighting for their life, if that ventilator is available exactly when it’s needed, that patient can stay alive so the doctors can do their work. And in many, many cases, that patient will live, and resume their life.” The mayor noted the need for ventilators was directly tied to the number of New Yorkers who will survive the coronavirus outbreak. “It’s as plain as this: If a doctor cannot get a ventilator to that patient literally the minute they need it, if too many minutes pass, that patient will suffocate,” said de Blasio. “That patient will die a horrible death and they will be gone forever.” De Blasio said 400 ventilators from FEMA were distributed earlier in the day across the state, and that 4,000 more ventilators were on their way to New York state. Half of them will come to New York City in what the mayor called a “race against time.” People and organizations who want to donate any kind of supplies to help in the battle against coronavirus can do so by clicking here. De Blasio said New York City will continue to monitor how people are using the parks and playgrounds, but if people are not following social distancing rules, playgrounds may be shut for the foreseeable future. He said he’ll make that decision by Saturday evening. De Blasio said New York City would also be closing two sites per borough to traffic in a bid to open up more spaces for people to relax, but that each site will be patrolled by police. Those sites would be announced by Thursday. De Blasio said he thinks any of the 5,000 people in New York City jails with five underlying conditions or over age 70 shouldn’t be held in the jail system amid the pandemic. “We have to work through some very intense, complicated legal issues, case by case in the case of those individuals,” de Blasio said. “But that category of people, those in immediate danger because of the specific nature of coronavirus, I strongly believe they all should be released.” Alternate side parking remains suspended through Tuesday, March 31. It will be reviewed week by week, de Blasio said. CitiBike also stepped forward, offering all essential workers a free 30-day membership. * That's 0.18 percent of the city population infected and 0.0022 percent of the city population unfortunately dead.

Beef has always been plentiful, as well as pork, lamb, seafood and veal. Plenty of frozen whatever and lots of ice cream. Eggs are a bit low, but there’s plenty of local eggs (only slightly more costly than commercial) to make up for gaps in the commercial supply. I guess they get paper goods then they're gone. I just see empty shelves. Got all that stuff last month thankfully before panic happened.

Crime plummets in the city, per NYPD stats (It’s getting bad in NYC)
Posted by Olog-hai* on Wed Mar 25 22:10:01 2020, in response to It's getting bad in NYC, posted by Dave on Tue Mar 24 14:22:10 2020.* WNBC, Channel 4 Crime Plunges in New York City as Virus Lockdown Takes Hold Crime had been up this year before the pandemic hit Published March 25, 2020 • Updated 1 min ago New Yorkers are staying put and apparently not committing nearly as many crimes, according to the official stats released Wednesday by the NYPD. Citywide crime is down almost 17% compared to the same week last year, with dramatic drops in violent crime — shootings down 23.5%, rapes down 69% and assaults down 9%. Crime in the subway, which had grown significantly so far this year, was down 33% last week compared to the year before. Criminals are still stealing cars, as thefts were up 52% compared to the same week last year. That said, the recent trend had shown an increase of 75% for the past 28 days compared to last year, so even those numbers are a bit cooler. Overall, crime had been on a sharp rise year to date compared to last year citywide, but the past week has seen a crash in the number of incidents.
