re: #108 lawhawk

A metric shit-ton of NYers came out to line the Hudson River watching the hospital ship come up to Pier 90 to dock. NYPD wasn’t moving to disperse the crowds until DeBlasio called them to do so.

DeBlasio has also been slow to shut down playgrounds and other common spaces to keep dispersing crowds.

Even in my town, people tend to congregate together when they shouldn’t.

My sister has a very good friend in her 80’s dying of a heart condition. She lives at home with her husband. When she celebrated her birthday a few days ago, her Chicago area children and grandchildren came to be with her. They knew that this was probably the last time they would see her — but this was clearly a violation of the orders. These situations are heart-breaking but their action subjects everyone to more risk.
