Brooklyn Coronavirus Update and Open Thread: Keeping On (4/24/20)

We’re in the sixth week of sheltering in place and the 24th day of home schooling for New York City schools.

The struggle to get what’s needed in place for a staged reopening and aid to those in need continues. Conditions are poor in shelters, group homes, jails and other places where protective gear is in short supply and social distancing is impossible.

How are you weathering the shutdown, and what are your concerns and thoughts? What do you think should be done in Brooklyn to combat the spread of the virus and save local businesses and jobs?
