Seventh Avenue in New York (New York, United States), which leads to Times Square, is empty, unrecognizable, Wednesday April 1. The ambulances are going at full speed. It must be said that New York is 40% of cases of the Covid-19 coronavirus in the United States. “Here, people live on top of each other (…) it’s the city that never sleeps”, describes Shevaz Clarke, a resident of the megalopolis, who only comes out masked and gloved, amazed at the deserted streets.
The neighborhood has one of 200 New York City hospitals. Paramedics from Ohio disinfect their stretcher. “We used to go all over the country to help, but this is the first time we’ve seen something like this. This pandemic is really scary ”, describes one of them. A little further, in Central Park, a hospital is being installed, where joggers and tourists walked recently. “Hospitals will send us patients today because they are overwhelmed”, announces Shelly Kelly, a nurse, Wednesday April 1.
