Nearly 6,200 New York City police officers, or one-sixth of the department, were out sick Wednesday, including about 4,800 who reported flu-like systems, though it was not clear how many had the virus.

A worrying point. Should the law enforcement become paralyzed, social order would be likely to near collapse.

Staggering how quickly this has spread. We will reach the million infections point today and numbers infected are going up by nearly 100,000 a day.

I'm really struggling to see how life will ever return to normal. I guess it will one day, but it seems a very long watt away.

he strain facing some of the world's best health care systems has been aggravated by hospital budget cuts over the past decade in Italy, Spain, France and Britain. 

That quality health care for the general public is critical to maintaining a strong economy is one that the powers that are - everywhere - need to understand. And do something about.

There have been countless hoax videos posted showing piles of bodies in multiple locations. But there's a problem - The same video that was claimed to be for New York was also claimed to be for Italy and is now claimed to be for Ecuador. The only videos that do not have hoaxes scattered in are those where people are going around to hospitals proving they are empty. All the bodies in the street videos are hoaxes, even when published in the MSM. No where has America hit a death rate, which, even when taken in the worst areas, would strain or probably even be noticeable in the dead body handling system.

Cuomo's negligence early on has cost lives.

No, it's Trump with TrumpCare. People are so scared to go to hospitals because of the scary billing and they continue to carry it and infect other people. Better stay safe in Japan with their government backed healthcare.

No, we still basically have Obamacare thanks to our great Congress.

The Republicans invented ObamaCare (Nixon). How is Trump going to pay for all the medical bills from CV? How is Trump going to implement TrumpCare? How about the same way they are paid for in Japan? Medicare-for-all like? The American version of Japan's system? Works for both Japanese and foreigners alike (especially Trump Americans) Trump has not addressed how all these medical bills are going to be paid for. He just keeps blaming Hillary. Under Trump Americans are afraid to go to the hospital and this will increase the exposure to CV and cause more deaths. This is happening under Trump. Also, the stock market is trashed (under Trump).

Readers, once again, we ask you to put aside your political differences on this thread.

The biggest joke is, every liberal is being tuned out, that’s the only one great thing that has come out from this tragedy, we don’t have to be subjected to one bit of it for now at least and I do give Cuomo some credit for this.

Cuomo cracked down even harder on public gatherings in the face of the coronavirus, calling residents who disregarded stay-at-home rules "selfish." He told New York City police to more aggressively enforce rules for social distancing as deaths in the state shot up to nearly 2,000.

He started late, downplayed it, but at least he’s on it and is doing the best he can for the city.

Meanwhile, back at the thread titled "Deaths pass 1,900 in New York; Cuomo calls those who won't stay at home 'selfish

Is he incorrect?
