'Pandemic New York is completely different than any New York I’ve ever experienced in my 41 years of New York.'
For the most part, the concerned phone calls have stopped. “You’re leaving right? You’re going to…” and then they name some theoretically safer suburb or vacation community that I am not going to go to. But the calls have stopped because it’s too late to leave now. A few days ago, Dr. Deborah Birx, the response coordinator for the White House task force on the coronavirus,
, adding, “Everybody who was in New York should be self-quarantining for the next 14 days to ensure the virus doesn’t spread to others no matter where they have gone.”I’m always enraged by the assumption that I would leave my city—the only place I've ever lived—in her hour of need. I am not leaving New York. Not that a smart person would stay. My apartment building is almost empty. And I can’t blame them. New York City isn’t normal. New York isn’t even post-9/11 New York.
We’re the epicenter of a pandemic. We’re Milan. We’re Wuhan. We’re a cautionary tale. Every day around 11 or so, Governortells us what’s happening in our broken city: “New York is your future. New York is a warning.” The warning is that other cities could soon drown in a sea of bodies, the way we are. Our morgues are almost at capacity. Our hospitals have lines that snake around the block. Our doctors are on TV every night begging for 99-cent masks to shield their faces.
