Have other Brooklyn ppl had the Mandatory Wiring/Equipment service call I just had from V3riz0n? It was on, then it was off, then I found out it was definitely on when they arrived. I need my phone and web badly, so I feel like I had no choice but to let em in. I wonder at what point they'll suspend these visits?

NYT (shut down the fucking park gatherings and the goddamn houses of worship, for fuck's sake):
New York City officials are expected to decide this weekend whether to impose $500 fines on residents flouting social-distancing rules during the coronavirus outbreak by gathering in large groups at parks and ignoring police orders to disperse.
Mr. de Blasio also said that a few houses of worship were continuing to hold religious services and that they risked fines or having their buildings permanently closed if the police found congregations in them this weekend.
The mayor also said he was working with state officials to freeze rents this year for 2.3 million tenants in rent-stabilized apartments.
Officials said late Friday that the number of coronavirus cases in New York City had climbed above 26,000. The city’s death toll was 450.
At least 500 New York Police Department employees have tested positive, and more than 4,000 officers — about 11 percent of the uniformed work force — were out sick on Friday, officials said.
In a force of 36,000 officers, that translates to an infection rate of about one in every 80 officers, or about 1.2 percent.
Officials also reported the first death of an officer in the department: Detective Cedric Dixon, who worked in the 32nd Precinct, in Harlem, and had worked for the department for 23 years.”

If you have health insurance in New York, are you covered in RI if you’re hospitalized for coronavirus? Or in NJ? More generally, is health insurance in one American locale usable in others? Despite living in the USA for almost 40 years I don’t know, because I never lived near a state border and didn’t travel much domestically. I remember that things cost more “out of zone”, but I don’t know what zones are.
― Joey Corona (Euler), Saturday, 28 March 2020 21:01 (four years ago) link
i believe so, yes. but regular/scheduled things would likely be 'out of network', which would be more expensive (but probably still covered to a certain extent)

Oh God, we are going to be reading a lot of smug articles like this from now on: "Why I Am Not Leaving New York"
https://www.vogue.com/article/why-i-am-not-leaving-new-york
I can think of better reasons not to leave New York than an insufferable feeling of being a Real New Yorker TM. Think of all the people still working in supermarkets, transit, etc that can't leave because their jobs are here and they are working with the public everyday. Or people who don't have the option of a second house to escape to. Or people who don't have the money to go somewhere else. Reasons based on practicality and not snobbery.

also leaving is nonsensical on its face. you risk spreading the virus elsewhere, for what?

In a meeting with the shelter’s director and staff, Ward even asked if residents could get gloves and masks.
“They just said it wasn’t in the budget,” he said. “After they said that, I had to shut my mouth because now I know they don't care.”

Navy ship is useless thus far... NYT:
Such were the expectations for the Navy hospital ship U.S.N.S. Comfort that when it chugged into New York Harbor this week, throngs of people, momentarily forgetting the strictures of social distancing, crammed together along Manhattan’s west side to catch a glimpse.
On Thursday, though, the huge white vessel, which officials had promised would bring succor to a city on the brink, sat mostly empty, infuriating executives at local hospitals. The ship’s 1,000 beds are largely unused, its 1,200-member crew mostly idle.
Only 20 patients had been transferred to the ship, officials said, even as New York hospitals struggled to find space for the thousands infected with the coronavirus. Another Navy hospital ship, the U.S.N.S. Mercy, docked in Los Angeles, has had a total of 15 patients, officials said.
“If I’m blunt about it, it’s a joke,” said Michael Dowling, the head of Northwell Health, New York’s largest hospital system. “Everyone can say, ‘Thank you for putting up these wonderful places and opening up these cavernous halls.’ But we’re in a crisis here, we’re in a battlefield.”
