New York: Store owners are starting to fence shop windows!
A growing number of Manhattan store owners began fencing the store fronts. The slightly apocalyptic spectacle was recorded all over the big city in the US where even luxury stores and not just small bars, chose to nail thick wooden boards onto the windows of businesses.
Many Manhattan store owners do not know when they will be allowed to reopen, so they appear to be trying to do everything possible to protect the property inside businesses.
The particularly non-aesthetic step that would, as a matter of course, reduce the value of assets, The purpose is to protect public order violations that may increase if the economic situation worsens and there is not enough policing power to take over order violations. As you recall in mid-March, New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio ordered restaurants and bars to be closed, other than those offering takeout, and a similar directive was also given to most retail stores.
Among the super-brands that made the move are Louis Vuitton, Dior, Coach and Dolce & Gabbana, despite the fact that New York police report that the number of crime cases has actually dropped since the outbreak of the virus.
However, one of the reasons for the panic is the fact that the number of police officers infected with the virus is growing and currently more than 6,400 NYPD officers are defined as 'sick', (18% of the city's total police force) with at least 1300 infected with the corona virus.
These police morbidity figures add to the concern about the city's ability to fight mass crime cases if the scenario of a complete collapse of the American economy will continue to grow.
At the same time, reports continue to be received that there is a very high percentage of morbidity among first aid and medical staff in the hospitals facing the epidemic.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo addressed the policing problem, and the threat scenarios of mass riots, saying that "the state will do whatever it needs to do to ensure the safety of the city's residents."
