Here is the biggest problem with your thesis David Marcus!
Despite warnings, churchgoers explain why they’re still going to services
I am quoting this article before the FDRLST deletes it once they realize how ignorant it is!
We Cannot Destroy The Country For The Sake Of New York City
By David Marcus
APRIL 3, 2020
“New York City is being ravaged by the coranavirus, but the rest of the country is being destroyed by a generation of economic collapse.“
Leave it to the FDRLST to have a writer that has no clue what he is writing about! (Whoever is signing his paycheck has to be so proud of him!)
April 12th, 2020 – Another gaping hole in your ‘article’:
And Nursing Homes!
Coronavirus spreads in a New York nursing home forced to take recovering patients
The terrifying trend of coronavirus in nursing homes
Coronavirus cases now in 60 nursing homes, multiple corrections facilities in Maryland: ‘The virus is everywhere’
Southwest Georgia continues to be one of the biggest coronavirus outbreak clusters in the country

I have a page tracking Virus cases and deaths
“I imagine there are some people who love New York City more than I do, but I do love it. I love it with fervor of the convert. A Philadelphian by birth, for 20 years I have now walked the storied steel canyons of the world’s current capital.”
I have been to New York to visit clients over the years. I have also been to Rochester (Kodak). The top 5 firms listed here https://archpaper.com/2018/01/largest-architecture-firms-new-york-area/ were my clients.
I provided the above to share my bonafides with you.
“There’s a reason the United Nations meets here, why artists and would-be stock barons alike come here. Now we are in the grip of the coronavirus, locked down. But our peril must not mean that the nation we represent must be destroyed.”
Ah! The BUT!
“I had occasion this week, as the virus ground us all to a stop, to talk to a friend in Indiana.
It was the hottest basketball sectional. Then attendees started dying of the coronavirus
I asked, “Is this the greatest crisis the country has ever faced?” We haven’t been invaded since 1812, I pointed out, and have never been occupied. Her reply, “What crisis?” She was in her backyard, her children playing. My life was at a bizarre standstill, death all around, hers was not. Yet all across the nation I don’t have time to think about lives are being destroyed, not by virus, but by an economic disaster unknown in a century.”
The virus is nationwide!
New York?
| State | Cases | Deaths | Cases/1M | Deaths/1M | Tests/1M | |
| 1 | New York | 172,358 | 8,627 | 8,786 | 440 | 21,301 |
Indiana?
| 9 | Indiana | 7435 | 330 | 1,120 | 50 | 5,908 |
“The entire country, experts I trust tell us, must be shut down. Businesses shuttered, many with little hope of opening again. Ten million people unemployed in two weeks. Ten million. In that world beyond that Hudson River, an economic hammer is falling faster than the virus can spread. Who can think of money at a time like this? we are told. How callous. But it’s not just money. In its own way it’s lives, it is a way of life.”
“In that world beyond that Hudson River, an economic hammer is falling faster than the virus can spread.”
Like Louisiana?
| 3 | Louisiana | 19,253 | 755 | 4,128 | 162 | 19,787 |
Michigan? Connecticut? Washington?
| 4 | Michigan | 22,783 | 1,281 | 2,288 | 129 | 7,235 |
| 5 | Connecticut | 10,538 | 448 | 2,942 | 125 | 9,354 |
| 6 | Massachusetts | 20,974 | 599 | 3,071 | 88 | 14,988 |
| 7 | District Of Columbia | 1,778 | 47 | 2,598 | 69 | 14,666 |
| 8 | Washington | 10,195 | 483 | 1,398 | 66 | 12,749 |
“Jack Kerouac — who danced and played and was educated in New York City but found his literary and intellectual fortune in the forgotten America — once said he didn’t want a living, he wanted a life. But where is the difference? What is life if not the ability to sustain it? We are embarking upon the devastation of an entire nation when it is becoming clearer and clearer that the gravest threat lies in megacities. And no city is more mega than Gotham.”
“The counter point is that the virus will eventually spread from New York and inevitably infect the suburbs, exurbs, and rural areas. But in Europe and here at home that isn’t what has happened. In Washington state, where the first-recorded American cases occurred in Seattle, the number of cases has flattened. Why? Well, as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has pointed out, the population density and public transit usage in New York City makes us violently susceptible to this plague.”
“the number of cases has flattened”
Don’t let FACTS get in the way of an article! Is this the FDLRS or Gateway Pundit?
“the number of cases has flattened” That doesn’t look flattened to me!
Coronavirus in Washington: Map and Case Count
“New York City is the center of the universe; by definition the center of the universe is an anomaly. We cannot base an entire national policy on an anomaly. Err on the side of caution, many say, but is it cautious to destroy entire communities through economic collapse that may not recover for a generation?”
Funny thing?
2020’s Most & Least Federally Dependent States
New York?
| 25 | New York |
Your friend’s Indiana?
| 8 | Indiana |
New Orleans?
New Orleans area’s coronavirus death rate is highest in US, data show
I realize you are referring the New York City but I am comparing apples (Big Apple included) to apples.
““If we can save one life then it’s worth it.” Is it? David Mamet in the movie “Wag the Dog” asked why nations go to war. The answer was to defend our way of life. Four hundred thousand Americans died in World War Two to defend the American way of life. Should we have handed the world to the Nazis to save American lives? Although far from perfect, the point of this analogy is that we cannot base public policy on the basis of total fear of death. We never have, and we never should.”
Nice word salad! Where in this paragraph are you making the ultimate sacrifice? My Papa was!
My Daddy was!
The Lt Governor of Texas lied and said he is!
Are YOU Staying in New York city as you want to allow it to die or are you going to your friend’s house in Indiana? (I hope you are not infected when you make that trip!)
“Let’s be clear: what we are sacrificing by a policy of total lockdown for God knows how long is the livelihoods, dignity, and yes, in many cases lives of hundreds of millions of Americans. Platitudes don’t cut it. A crisis is a crisis specifically because it is a situation with no good answers. If there were an easy answer it wouldn’t be a crisis.”
Let’s be clear. People are DYING! The numbers you say have names. They have moms and dads, sons and daughters, coworkers and friends!
This is all on Donald Trump!
I have a timeline of Donald Trump’s unmitigated abject failure in handling this!
“I’m scared. I open the door to my bodega in Brooklyn with my elbow, not my hand; I wash my hands like my life depends upon it because it might. But I also chose to live here and I’m not leaving. New York City will get through this. I hope I do too. But being the symbol and signal of America does not mean the rest of the nation must be crushed under the weight of economic collapse. We need to make some hard choices, and we need to make them now.”
You do realize you are making the coward’s decision? You are willing to let the rest of the nation go through what New York is going through for the sake of Wall Street and Donald Trump’s re-election. If Mom was still living with me I would be terrified of getting her sick. I am writing so much because I have the fear of getting sick myself. One of my best friends and his wife almost died from this and are slowly recovering. You can be perfect 99.9% of the times but that 0.1% can KILL YOU! You have idiots like this:
Idiots who put themselves and money over the lives of nurses, doctors and first responders!

I hope you understand your article is MOOT? Once we run out of ventilators and people start to die, money will be the least of anyone’s concerns! You think people are upset over lack of toilet paper? Wait for Sunday or Monday when several states around the country have to start deciding who lives and who dies!
The Lack of Ventilators is going to be @realDonaldTrump lasting legacy!
By the way, who signs your paycheck?
