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?

People think they haven't got it yet, so leave to where they think they're less likely to get it. A gamble, possibly stupid, definitely selfish.

self-preservation is an understandable instinct
I didn't leave bcz I couldn't, really

In a meeting with the shelterâs director and staff, Ward even asked if residents could get gloves and masks.
âThey just said it wasnât in the budget,â he said. âAfter they said that, I had to shut my mouth because now I know they don't care.â

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 Manhattanâs 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 shipâs 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.
âIf Iâm blunt about it, itâs a joke,â said Michael Dowling, the head of Northwell Health, New Yorkâs largest hospital system. âEveryone can say, âThank you for putting up these wonderful places and opening up these cavernous halls.â But weâre in a crisis here, weâre in a battlefield.â

several points of note:
How to get your groceries (being regularly updated) - https://ny.eater.com/2020/4/6/21208622/nyc-grocery-delivery-guide-coronavirus
Some are small scale and involve bicycles or hand carts to circumscribed neighborhoods; others are massive operations with fleets of trucks that cover the city and parts of New Jersey and Westchester, or involve shipping by FedEx or UPS. None are cheap, but some offer a few bargains. The emphasis may be on premium groceries and boutique produce, but on the positive side, some make closer connections between farmers and the food consuming public. And remember to tip â delivery and grocery store workers are among the most vulnerable populations in the city right now.
