In reply to the discussion: using the map at the link, how many of you are in a COVID-19 Confirmed Infection Zone? [View all]Dorian Gray
(13,532 posts)69. We live in NYC
And, of course, we have a lot of cases.
But we live in Kings Co. (Brooklyn), and according to that map, we don't have one confirmed case. Which is comforting, as the spread is less here than in Manhattan.
Also, it's untrue. I know of one confirmed Brooklyn cases. (Local to the Park Slope area.) A parent of a local public school tested positive, which led to a lot of parents in the neighborhood pressuring local principals to shut down even if the DOE didn't.
