I am pretty nervous about sticking this out in the city but feel it's my least bad option right now. It sounds like Wuhan cases peaked 1-mo after draconian shelter-in-place measures were installed.[0]
There is no evidence our quarantine will be as aggressive and I fear it will be inadequate. Public transportation is still running. We're already at ~4000 cases.[1] Domestic cases are doubling every two days.[2]
Does anybody have some optimism about the situation here in NYC?
Presumptive patients with mild symptoms have to be separated from the healthy population by moving them into quarantine hotels or yellow-zone makeshift hospitals. Or you will still see family transmissions.
