What to expect as NYC prepares for Phase 1 reopening

New York City is set to take the first steps toward reopening on Monday, exactly 100 days since its first case of COVID-19 was confirmed.

As many as 400,000 workers could begin returning to work during Phase 1.

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced late Sunday that to help out with the reopening efforts, Alternate Side Parking will be canceled from June 8 until June 21.

The city has been the epicenter of the crisis with 205,000 people infected and 22,000 lives lost since the pandemic began.

Phase two:cleaning and restoration after phase one !!!

I live next to Rothmans - it was not looted. The plywood was put up before anything happened. Easy for that owner to say when his business is safe

[hellybellybelly]

Re-opening?? Seriously?? Think it's already happened in a violent way!!

[cherryboob]

Why are most people in Manhattan NOT WEARING MASKS?!?

What to expect people putting their sofas in the subway carts again.

To reopen what most of the stores are closed you definitely need freaking glasses

Glad for New York. They've bounced back from a Nightmare.

[katserr]

New York city is dying if not already dead. The white flight will lay waste to that entire metropolitan area. Couldnt have happened to a more deserving group of joggers.

Lets see how we looking 2 or 3, weeks later after reopening.

[eagledesert]

nyc must 1 month lockdown after protest

[rigel]

Up in Washington heights large group gatherings every night but specially on weekends partying, juka or weed smoking I don't see them self distancing or wearing a mask..the worst of all is that the Police is right there and they turn a blind eye.

After the virus, after the destructions, the aftermath.

Resilience, sustainability, future progression and abundance.. do some research on foodforests, desert regreening, earthship, permaculture, vertical farming, rooftop farming, sun harvesting etc..

local food and energy production would solve like half the challenges in the world just like that. Who cares tho im just some random homeless dude.
