“No, this is not normal life,” confirms New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo after the coronavirus death toll rose to 249 in the US. 46 of them came from his state.
Due to the rapid spread of COVID-19, the states of New York and Illinois are now also imposing an extensive curfew in California in the fight against the pandemic. The lockdown also affects the three largest cities in America – New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
“Accept it, realize it and deal with it,” recommends Cuomo to the 19 million citizens of New York and everyone else.
He goes on to explain that all those who do not necessarily have to go to work should stay home from Sunday. According to him, shopping for groceries, visits to the doctor and pharmacy and outdoor sports are also allowed.

The more or less the same orders have been in place for the 40 million people in California since Friday. From this Saturday on, they will also attack in Illinois with a population of just under 13 million. The local governor JBPritzker affirmed in Chicago: “For the vast majority of you who have already taken precautionary measures, life will not change very much.”
According to the latest data from Johns Hopkins University, there are more than 16,600 cases of infection. Since there were hardly any test options for weeks, a significantly higher number of unreported cases is assumed.
