Are you agitating for a faster reopening??

Then you need to be agitating TWICE AS HARD for NYC to build a system to contain the spread of the virus. That means dramatically increasing the amount of:

==> Diagnostic testing

==> Contact tracing

==> Quarantining/Isolating

NYC has now changed testing criteria, and *anyone* can get tested, regardless of symptoms.

Extensive support is available for those quarantining at home or isolating in hotels, including food, Rx, medical services etc. Details: https://t.co/obXQkRPK3n

And remember: if you test positive in NYC you will get a call from a contact tracer to discuss who in your circle may have been exposed so they can be protected. Process is confidential. Critical that everyone participate. Details: https://t.co/X29nPqobk5
