Is NYC really on lock down?


Apr 5, 2020, 11:57 PM

I watched Bill Hemmer doing a live report outside the studio in NYC yesterday, and there was a steady stream of traffic behind him the whole time ... lots of cars and trucks and even a bus that came by.

Then they broke for commercial and showed this taped video montage (w/funereal music) of totally deserted streets in NY as if the rapture had occurred. Which is the true story?

Its shut down, but not every last aspect. There are essential aspects.

the "news" reporting, for there is rampant embellishment, even in normal times.

Of course, there is a crisis at hand, but the news' magazine shows are largely entertainment venues, heavily politicized and obnoxiously repetitious. Thus, most are overtly dramaticized, skewered toward the hosts' political views.

I am reminded of the Weather Channel's and CNN's false setups during broadcasts of a recent hurricane, preying upon fear factors to attract viewers...staged events that should have resulted in immediate firings and strong condemnations from federal and journalistic entities. Despicable behavior.

Most people are doing their best to follow local and national guidelines. Millions of Americans are out of work, desparate to house and feed their families, anxious with business owners across this nation struggling mightily. Any media source that attempts to profit from this crisis should be soundly and roundly criticized and condemned by the American people...Period.

Having said this, I have no doubt we will recover in due time, sooner rather than later and become stronger individually and collectively for having endured this storm!

Here are the live cams from Wall Street's charging bull and the Brooklyn Bridge. You know NYC is closed. If you want more proof, you'll have to look for yourself.

I know for a fact beyond what I can see on all of the cams, there is nothing going on that is not essential. One of my best friends lives there.

If you don't want to believe something nothing will convince you.

Have a good night.

there are 20 million people living there. Don't be surprised if 10% of the populace, or 2 million people, are still wandering around having to do stuff like grocery shop or keep the banks running.

There isn’t 20 million in NYC. All 5 boroughs is about 9 million. Manhattan which is what most people think of is 1.7 million. But yes compared to normal, it is pretty much shut down. You have nearly half the population of South Carolina crammed into 20 square miles, so even when shut down you are going to see people out.
