New York is a very densely populated city/state and with this COVID-19 New York will suffer. Therefore we should prevent the spread of this virus by closing NYC public schools / arranged events for the time being to prepare for this pandemic. New York officials started brushing this off like nothing but I don’t think they understand. This corona-virus WILL SPREAD RAPIDLY IN OUR CITY. And we need to prepare for it. Do you really want to get this virus? We need to stay home and buy face masks. Stock on food and water. And really prepare for this to become a major problem. We need Mayor DeBlasio, Governor Cuomo, and NYC DOE, NYC DOH to see this! So sign the petition and get the word out there. Share this with friends and family. This applies to the whole of New York, not just NYC. Thank you for your time.
