In a week, New York City became the epicenter of the US coronavirus outbreak
By Christina Maxouris, CNN
(CNN)The city that never sleeps is faced with a "brand new reality," Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
A dark Broadway. Empty streets. Shuttered bars and restaurants. A statewide order for millions of residents to stay home. And thousands of reported coronavirus cases.
About 8,377 have tested positive in the state of New York.
In New York City, reported cases jumped from 183 to 5,151 within six days.
"To give you perspective, that is now about one-third of all the coronavirus cases in the United States of America," de Blasio said. "It is about two-thirds of the cases in the state of New York."
"I hate to say this but it's true, we are now the epicenter of this crisis," de Blasio said. "Right here in the nation's largest city. And we have so much we have to do."
The mayor earlier this week told residents to prepare for a "shelter in place order," a declaration that was met with backlash from the state's governor, who said he wasn't going to "imprison" residents.
Instead, both leaders initially implemented less restrictive measures, including converting bars and restaurants to only takeout services and limiting public gatherings. Schools across the state were also ordered closed until April 1.
But on Friday, New York. Gov. Andrew Cuomo went a step further, signing an order directing the state's non-essential workers to stay home starting Sunday. Businesses that don't comply will be met with mandatory closures and civil fines, Cuomo said.
"We need everyone to be safe, otherwise no one can be safe," he added.
Medical supplies to last for weeks, mayor says
Cuomo has attributed the rapid increase in numbers partly due to testing -- saying earlier this week that the state conducted about 8,000 tests overnight. He added that was "probably a new record in the country."
"When you do 8,000 tests, the numbers are going to go up exponentially," he said.
But as the numbers continue to rise both in the city and across the state, healthcare professionals have raised concern about how long medical supplies will last and whether beds and staff will continue to be enough.
75 million Americans told to stay home as testing reveals more coronavirus cases
This week, Cuomo appealed to companies who could help provide products like personal protective equipment, gloves, gowns and masks.
"If you can make them, we will give you funding to do it," he said. "And we will give you funding to get the right equipment, to get the personnel, etc. I'm asking businesses to be creative."
Meanwhile, de Blasio said the city was looking at different buildings they could use as "annexes to hospitals," including hotels.
"We're mobilizing all of them right now," he said this week. "We do have a lot of space, thank God, but we don't have supplies."
De Blasio blasted the federal government saying that despite pleas from both the governor and himself, "we haven't seen a single response from anyone indicating that they have a serious plan to get supplies to New York City."
"They just don't have a plan," he said, "and they're not taking it seriously," he said.
That comes after President Donald Trump said Wednesday he would invoke the Defense Production Act to help make up for potential medical supply shortages. De Blasio previously said he was expecting the city to run out of medical supplies in about two to three weeks.
"I said very clearly that for the month of March, we have the supplies that we need, the city has very strong reserves of the kind of supplies that I talked about," he said. "It is going into April that I'm worried about."
He said the city was in need of the supplies as the "frontline of this crisis, the place that's bearing blunt."
就酱汁，
大家自求多福，
洗洗睡吧
有木有孝感米酒。我擦。
西雅图不会有大问题。是美国防疫成功的典范。美国最后的病例，90%将集中在纽约新泽西麻州那一片
西边那边爆的早先采取措施，好比湖北潜江，情况会比 NYC 好
这个已经超过武汉封城前的状况了。
现在是四州联盟
加上Massachusetts?
大家都是一条船上的，控制住的州应该支援纽约
鸭图是韩国式的，cluster爆发，鸭图是老人院（韩国邪教徒），这种相对好控制，加上盖子、uw给力，民众相对素质高，可以控制得不错
Ny现在是天女散花，控制难多
为什么？别的州欠纽约了？
我就知道不管你在哪儿赚的钱，只要你住纽约就要交税，比别的州霸道多了
pa
睡不者了。😢
西雅图测的早侧的多而已，实际情况并不是特别差。
纽约的人口密度和生活方式都是巨大隐患。而且，开始重视的太晚了，比西雅图晚了半个月。
西雅图IT年轻人多，WFH
NJ 一样啊，
卧槽，抗疫这是一个国家的事，这是传染病不是地震，纽约不控制住任何州都不要想独善其身。这尼玛什么时候还在抱着吃瓜心态。

老实说，我对nyc现在这种情况没什么同情，光鲜的表面下全是守旧腐朽的拆烂污。
从哪里能看到测试人数？谢谢
现在各个地方的旅馆餐馆都关掉了。纽约人跑出来在哪儿吃哪儿住？
不是都这样？
纽约控制不住时就会上军队了，小老百姓跑不出来，大富豪们早就撤到自己的小岛上去了。
一声长叹，
至少再过2周才能言拐点。
美国加油，
纽约加油，
“9·11恐怖袭击跟现在相比不算什么”
3月27日，纽约市长白思豪在新闻发布会上表示，由于新冠肺炎疫情形势严峻，该市医
疗系统的人员和物资设备仅能继续支撑一个星期，他呼吁联邦政府和军方紧急支援，同
时提供至少15000台呼吸机。
白思豪表示，皇后区厄尔母霍斯特医院情况最严重，本周曾出现24小时内13名患者死亡。
据悉，皇后区现在被称为“疫情中心的中心”，截至3月28日凌晨，确诊人数已达8214
人，增长速度一天高达32%。
此外，布鲁克林区确诊6750人，布朗区4655人，曼哈顿区4478人，斯塔滕岛1440人
27日夜间，救护车在纽约市空荡荡的街道上穿梭救急。紧急医疗救护联盟（EMS）的官
员称，当天呼救电话增加了40%，高达6500个，创下历史纪录。
纽约消防部门（FDNY）官员强烈呼吁市民只有在紧急情况下才拨打911，如心脏病或呼
吸困难。
据统计，26日和27日两天中，纽约市85人因新冠肺炎死亡，相当于每17分钟1人死亡。
截至3月28日凌晨，死亡总数已达450人。
纽约市各医院工作负荷已达极限，医护人员每天面临难以言表的痛苦场景。皇后区西奈
山医院的斯蒂夫·卡萨皮迪斯博士表示，“9·11恐怖袭击跟现在相比不算什么”。
布鲁克林区布罗克代尔医院的艾玛德·约瑟夫博士说：“医院就像战场。”
同意。完全是市长的责任。纽约傻逼市长是如何连任的？还能再傻逼些吗？这下害死多少人
餐馆一般take out. 旅店还开啊
昨天看了视频采访纽约百姓，问怕新冠吗？很多都笑着说我们就要享受当下，得就得呗，该party还是要party。很多人真是活该，但是连累了其他人
做烦这种说法了，你三岁吗？别人一说什么你就恐慌了？你自己动脑子判断一下不就行了。觉得形势一片大好，上街跳舞也没人管你，觉得形势不好，你也是爱干嘛干嘛。不要别人一分析啥，你就先把自己吓死了。我相信你足够老了，该有智慧了。
这心态你是不是得服？装死装到可能真的要死了。病毒真该找该找的人，装x糟雷劈。NJ州长得了估计才能醒来。
我想不通还有人要跑出去健身。我通常用健身房，关了，就待家里。我知道跑步健身会上瘾，但现在是非常时期。
我，纽约是武汉，其他州是湖北省其他城市的感觉。
