NYC Update — Corona Day 3

We are waiting. And waiting. Experts predict in 2 weeks we’ll be Italy.

It’s like being on an island scanning the horizon for an incoming tsunami.

But, at the same time, it’s important to stay in what’s real. No one I know is sick. We work. Eat dinner. Watch TV. Walk the dog.

Here’s what’s going on in the city.

— We’re a ghost town.

Here’s Madison Avenue at rush hour yesterday evening.

Madison Ave @86th Street, 6 pm, 3/16/2020

And here’s Fifth Avenue at 9 am this morning.

Fifth Avenue @ 82nd Street, 9 am, 3/17/2020

Note : The Saint Patrick’s Day Parade would have been happening here today.

— Grocery store shoppers are practicing social distancing.

— The procedures are getting exhausting. And we’re only on Day 3. I have put a bottle of Clorox spray on a beach towel outside the apartment door.
