It has been a month since 22 days since the state of New York in the eastern United States began severe restrictions to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, and in various parts of our lives in central Manhattan.
On the 22nd, New York turned out to be sunny after the rainy day.
The lowest temperature was 2 degrees Celsius, and it was a cold morning at this time, and people in Central Park in Manhattan were sparse. Almost all stores in Manhattan are closed, and people's lives have changed in various ways over the past month.
First of all, the number of users of the subway, which is indispensable for transportation, has decreased significantly. In the background, in addition to the decrease in the number of people commuting to work, a research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology pointed out "use of a crowded subway" as one of the reasons for the spread of the infection.
In addition, 1,500 people have been confirmed to be infected by the urban transportation office operating the subway, and more than 40 people have died, which kept users away.
At a station near Times Square, there were only a couple of people in one car.
In the state of New York, the barber shop is also ordered to be closed. For this reason, I mainly cut my hair at home, and online mail-order sites continue to run out of hair clippers and other items.
Gasoline prices have fallen sharply due to lower crude oil prices. One gallon costs less than $ 2 at a petrol station along a highway in New Jersey, west of Manhattan. It is the first time in 10 years, but if converted to 1 liter, it is less than 60 yen. Compared to the beginning, 20% is cheaper than it was at the beginning, so it is said that "more than twice the price of Tokyo" in New York, the price of gasoline is cheap. However, people were sparse as the restrictions on going out continued.
The limit for going out is until the 15th of next month. It will take some time for New York to recover.
Citizen's voice is ...
Many New Yorkers expressed their understanding that the continued restrictions were unavoidable in order to control the spread of the infection, but there were also calls for an early resumption of economic activity.
When I heard it in Central Park in Manhattan, an 18-year-old woman said, "I have never worn a mask and feel stuffy, but I always wear it when I go out to prevent the spread of the infection."
A 48-year-old man said, "The number of infected people is still increasing and it is a serious situation. I do not know who is infected when I go out, so I think there is no point in continuing to limit it."
A 34-year-old woman said, “The economy has been hit hard and some people are unable to make various payments, but I think that nothing is more important than life. Carefully judge when economic activity will resume. It should be done. "
On the other hand, a 49-year-old man said, “I am in trouble because I have no income. I am worried about the spread of infection and I want to return to work.”
