For now, @NYGovCuomo keeps the balance of #BePreparedNotPanicked. He is keeping the public informed and is resisting mass closures. Even in New Rochelle, Westchester that has a cluster of cases, Cuomo is focused on crowd limitation; not a mass lockdown. I hope it holds.
I did'n't know this from the headlines (of course not because it will reduce panic), but buried in a NYT item about crowd reductions in New Rochelle is that @NYGovCuomo announced it Tuesday but it goes into force Thursday. This gave people 36-48 hours for palnning. That's good.
I hope that if there will be any mass lockdowns as in Italy, government leaders such as @NYGovCuomo @BilldeBlasio and the @CDCgov (cc @VPPressSec) will give people enough time to prepare. A good 72-96 hours. This will be chaotic enough, but any narrower window will be MAYHEM!
