tigg I thought that NYC was being more stringent than the UK. Difficult days. We have a young friend who went to your city last week for a three week internment [?] job swap/training I think. Difficult for her.
Michael Gatton UPDATE: Just this afternoon they finally announced closing of public schools in NYC. Thank you @vera @tigg Sorry about your friend - must be heartbreaking.
Nutt Take care Michael! Authorities seem to have been slow on the uptake everywhere except Asia but here they’re finally taking stringent measures. Stay safe
Michael Gatton Thank you @Nutt and likewise. They're always a couple of steps late in implementing precautions. Politically they need the numbers to go up to justify harsher measures.
jewels In thoughts with you and your amazing city, which is asleep for once.. Hoping for better days soon. Hang in there, take care and stay safe.
Michael Gatton Thank you, Julie! I hope you are staying safe as well. New York is eerie, to say the least. But we have a ritual 19:00 celebration from our apartment windows for the essential workers and I look forward to that as a little connection to the world. We are not on complete lockdown, but it's still pretty isolating. Be well :-)
vera Take care Michael!
