Okay real talk - how bad is it going to get in NYC? Do we think they’ll shut the city down in the next week or two? When do you think the subways will shut down? Please share your thoughts.

They likely won’t shut things down entirely, but they could do what Italy has done and close everything but bare essentials - supermarkets, bodegas, drug stores, banks. Depends how bad it gets.

I was just in Boston heading home and I saw a restaurant / bar with a semi-busy happy hour going on. That’s just crazy at this point.

Everyone knows Boston doesn’t have happy hour!

Incidentally I also work at JP and I have nooo idea why they aren’t just making all the non client facing teams work from home instead of this dumb 50-50 rule. It’s almost as if they’re just following the law to not get punished but don’t actually care about community health 🙃

I’m also staying in the city out of fear of bringing it home. In general, I’m a little worried - but we’re all in this together OP. Just don’t go out unless you absolutely have too, spend time only with a small
amount friends in apartments, do stuck up on some groceries, do wash yours hands a lot. Do yourself, turn the news off, and read a good book. I think the current amount of anxiety is worse than what will come to be, but that’s no reason to not express extreme caution. We’re New Yorkers, we’ll get through this

It’s eerie. Everyone’s running to the stores to stock up. Subway is less crowded but somehow still crowded? Feels like the calm before the storm

I doubt they’ll shut down the city, it’s just misinformation being spread. Look at the posts from city officials.

It is still serious though, other states may reduce travel from New York.

I don’t think they’ll shut down the subway. But I do think lots of restaurants, bars, stores and movie theaters will start going on hiatus.

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.
