According to US media reports, as of April 11, Beijing time, the number of people infected with the new crown virus in the United States reached 500,000, while the number of infections in New York due to the dense population has repeatedly exceeded the extreme value, reaching 170,000 cases. Unlike all people who live in isolation, New Yorkers are acting out a tragic history of the fight against the epidemic in their own unique way.
One
Maria Patrice Sharon – an ordinary New Yorker who was devastated by her brother's death. She wrote on her Facebook page: Because of the epidemic, she lost a good brother. Her brother, Chius, had been treated in a hospital in New York for several days, and his condition had stabilized, but in just a few days, his condition deteriorated so much that he died.
She did not know how to report the death to her parents, after all, her parents were old, afraid that they would not be able to accept the fact that the white-haired people sent the black-haired people.

Software engineer Adam Young, a man who has worked in the Internet industry for many years. Adam Young had planned to take his family on a spring trip overseas at the beginning of 2020, but because of the outbreak of the epidemic, he had to shelve all activities. According to Adam Young, the epidemic has changed the trajectory of his life, and the epidemic has changed his working state.
Adam Young lives with his parents and two children in a neighborhood in New York City. He wrote in his diary that every day's work was nothing but eating and drinking and sleeping. Of course, paying attention to the changes in the epidemic in the United States every day has also become a part of life. Watching the number of infections and deaths in New York continue to increase, his heart became heavier and heavier.
He didn't dare to go downstairs easily to buy things, let alone go outside. Around him, unemployed vagrants and some people suffering from the virus are scattered in all corners of the city. He can only spend time with his family on TV and the Internet every day, of course, the food stored in the refrigerator is enough for the family to eat for two or three months.

"Julia" and her husband "Blake", a pair of young people who are about to enter the palace of marriage. On March 25, "Julia" was still in a church in London, England, to discuss the wedding with the staff, and suddenly the british prime minister Johnson was infected with an accident, which disrupted all this.
Britain began a blockade of the entire territory, and Julia had to return to her hometown immediately because of her American status. To this end, she first purchased a direct ticket to New York, but the flight was cancelled many times, which hindered her travel. Reluctantly, "Julia" purchased a flight connecting to Moscow, and after several days of flights, finally arrived at the New York airport on April 4. Julia considers her trip a "great escape," spending more than 40 hours on a plane from Britain across Europe to Moscow and across the ocean back to her hometown.
There has been light rain in New York State these days, and the raindrops falling on the windows make people feel like they are suddenly separated. Looking through the window and into the neighborhood, you'll find the sirens of police cars and ambulances piercing the sky from time to time, making many New Yorkers feel sad. Is it that another person of the people has quietly passed away from his side, is it his own relatives or even close relatives, and he has played a "trick" of not saying goodbye.
The governor of New York also admitted that the new crown epidemic is so rampant that it may have lost his parents. He implored all New Yorkers to respect the government's will and impose strict quarantine measures. New York is experiencing a silent catastrophe, and the epidemic has done far more damage to the city than it was in 9/11.
As of this writing, more than 7,000 people in New York have died because of the new crown, and many more innocent people have either lived in terror or quietly left while waiting for a ventilator. A storm is about to strike over the dark clouds of New York, and 11 million New Yorkers are ready.
