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.”

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 — delivery and grocery store workers are among the most vulnerable populations in the city right now.

with the obvious notable exception of the administration
I am suuuuure
On Thursday afternoon, Governor Andrew Cuomo assured the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who are struggling to file for unemployment benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic that his administration is doing everything it can to streamline the process. "The system just crashed because of the volume, it's one of those unanticipated consequences of a situation like this," Cuomo told reporters. "We're working with Google to come up with an online mechanism that bypasses any phone certification. You have the phone certification because you want to make sure that people who are applying are also qualified."
But lawmakers and legal experts say that this emphasis on eligibility to prevent overpayments—with weekly phone check-ins and prohibitions on part-time work—is a huge reason for the bottleneck in the first place....
