As for the Pandemic. 
April 6, 2020


Here are the local numbers for Monday morning.
There are in the Emerald City 72,000+ tested Virus infected. The untested infected numbers as we've been told can be 10 to 20 times higher. Making the actual NYC case load at it's worse,...One Million Four Hundred Forty Four+.

In the State there are 131,000 tested cases. In real numbers the untested for NYS are,...Two Millions Six hundred Thousand+.

There has been push back from the federal government not to post the untested numbers. I assume this for political/economic reasons. They want to re-open business as fast as possible. 
Also large unemployment is bad for the current head of state's re-election chances.

So they prefer the lower numbers.

It has been suggested this is the reason they have not favored more testing. Two million may die, but power, and wealth remain their primary concern. 
Not that this or any kind of political maneuvers matter.

The Virus does not care.

Btw,...NYC radio stations don't report traffic after 6pm. This because there is none.

Also it was annouced today that there will be temporary burials in NYC parks. At a later date these will be re-interred in places decided by next of kin.

New York Post:


Mark D. Levine, a councilmember who represents the 7th District in Northern Manhattan, made the shocking announcement on Twitter, saying, “Soon we’ll start ‘temporary interment.’ This likely will be done by using a NYC park for burials (yes you read that right). Trenches will be dug for 10 caskets in a line. It will be done in a dignified, orderly—and temporary—manner. But it will be tough for NYers to take.”

New York morgues, he says, are already full.
“Nothing matters more in this crisis than saving the living,” said Levine. “But we need to face the gruesome reality that we need more resources to manage our dead as well. Or the pain of this crisis will be compounded almost beyond comprehension.”
The city has roughly 28,000 acres of parkland. The largest is Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx, followed by Greenbelt on Staten Island. (Central Park, the city’s best known park, is the fifth largest park in the New York area.)
“It’s not just deaths in hospitals which are up,” he said. “On an average day before this crisis there were 20-25 deaths at home in NYC. Now in the midst of this pandemic the number is 200-215. *Every day*.”

Yes it has come to this.
Everyone out there. Stay smart stay brave stay safe stay kind,...stay Home.
