Brooklyn Coronavirus Update and Open Thread: Virus Hot Spots (5/27/20)

We’re in the eleventh week of sheltering in place and the 45th day of home schooling for New York City schools.

Several areas in the city, including Flatbush and East Flatbush in Brooklyn, are hot spots for virus infection. As other areas in New York State begin to reopen, New York City remains on lockdown, even though Cuomo rang the bell Tuesday for the reopening of the stock exchange, considered an essential business, and OK’d groups of 10 Friday.

What are your thoughts, and how are you weathering the shutdown? What do you think should be done in Brooklyn to combat the spread of the virus and blunt the damage to local businesses and jobs?
