“Spooky” empty metropolis
The currently empty streets and subways of the otherwise lively “Big Apple” can be seen on photo agencies. For example, Time Square, where thousands of people frolic every day, seems deserted. A resident of the Big Apple says, “It’s all very spooky here.”
Nationwide, there have been over 19,600 coronavirus infections in the USA so far, and 258 people have died.
