Breaking: New Rochelle locked down

You've made that journey for Milan to Minsk, New Rochelle New Rochelle

New York creates ‘containment zone’ in New Rochelle.

With New Rochelle, a small city just north of New York City in Westchester County, emerging as the center of the state’s outbreak, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York on Tuesday announced a targeted containment strategy to halt the spread of the virus.

The state’s plan focuses on a “containment area” in New Rochelle with a one-mile radius centered around a synagogue believed to be at the center of the cluster, officials said.

Schools and other large gathering facilities like community centers and houses of worship within the area will be closed for two weeks beginning on Thursday, Mr. Cuomo said. Businesses such as grocery stores and delis would remain open. The state did not plan to close streets or implement travel restrictions, he said.

“You’re not containing people,” he said. “You’re containing facilities.”

The state also planned to deploy the National Guard to in the containment area to clean the schools and deliver food to quarantined residents, Mr. Cuomo said.

The cluster in Westchester County first came to the authorities’ attention last week, when a lawyer who lives in New Rochelle and works in Manhattan, Lawrence Garbuz, became the second person in New York to be diagnosed with coronavirus last week.

Is Millie alright?

Can I just say? The Cuomo boys aren't aging well. Andrew looks like an old woman, with massive carb face. Christopher looks like Jack LaLanne's sister. (If you don't know who that is Google him. his face seems to be spreading out...along with the rest of him. I know he was a gym rat, obsessed about weight training, but Chris, give it up!

Why are they quarantining white rich areas?

Rich white people are the only ones who have enough money to travel overseas.

Lissen. Trump is a fool. Some analyst just explained that we wold reduce the mortality rate for this, if we tested more. Because if you have, for example 100 known cases and 20 of them die (at a nursing home) it skews the mortality rate for the virus. If you test ` million people, and you find 600,000 test positive, but the mortality rate is those same 20 people it looks better. So Trump should have been testing to lower his numbers, not engaging in another cover up.

Rochelle! Rochelle why you do me like that?????

They had to cancel this year's talent show!

Whew!

New Rochelle!... Or maybe White Plains!

New Rochelle!... New Rochelle!...

That's the place where the lockdown will be...

For me and my darling EMT

I've picked out for marrying me!

Didn’t Hitler try this before?

Will no one think of Richie?

Its not quarantined at all why spread this bullshit and incite panic in people , really disgusting behavior on the OPs part, f&f . If you want a thread to discuss this, someone start one witnout the inflammatory language of "quarantine" when its clearly not.

Such is the nature of “breaking news,” r16. Initial reports are often inaccurate. The correction is at R2.

Kindly fuck off and die.

Um. This is amping up.

New Rochelle? Wasn't this the home of Rob and Laura Petrie?

R19...You are quick!

Can we have Frances Sternhagen evacuated? She's like the queen of New Rochelle.

They just showed an arial view of New Rochelle, it looks like a gorgeous old guard NYC suburb. I've always pictured it this way.

yeah, that's just the nice part r22. The city is very troubled. Trying, but troubled.

I find it interesting that the coronavirus is being spread around the affluent Jewish communities. There is an outbreak in Monsey, too.

A frau friend of mine was saying this yesterday. Her son goes to one of the private schools in the Bronx. People with money travel. *shrugs*

Are you suggesting that Jewish people are more pre-disposed to catching the virus?

That guy in r9 's image is the spitting image of the baby Godzilla.

I don’t know. How many black and Latino Americans have died from covid19? Maybe there’s some genetic vulnerability. I am very curious to see how it all shakes out.

New Rochelle?? What happened to the old Rochelle! I’m not paying for a new one!

How you lock down New Rochelle if everyone there pretends they are living in Larchmont, Scarsdale or Pelham?

It is neither locked down nor quarantined- rather contained, gatherings in large venues etc. My brother lives in New Rochelle right on the border of Larchmont and they can move around by groceries etc. The are NOT quarantined which would mean he could not leave New Rochelle.

Old Rochelle is fine. It sends it’s regards

You will have to excuse La Rochelle. English is not her native tongue and she’s had a tough history.

r15, thinking of Richie makes me wish this thing hit New Rochelle about 60 years ago

We'll just keep going until Ossining.

Oy vey!

And then there's Maude!

So OP — Breaking news & your first idea is to go on DL? Are you alone in this world? I see a muumuu & a lap dog named Princess- one with a cloudy eye. I feel sad for you. Go to a piano bar & sing some Ethel- stuff from your era. Maybe you’ll make friends. It was called a containment zone from the get go. Fucknut.

I'm Rhona Virus from Mount Vernon and I'm feeling a little verklempt!

Your post says so much more about you than it does the OP, but you lack the self-awareness to see it r37

I once met a friend of a friend who grew up in New Rochelle. Her parents were named Millie and Jerry. Really.

R5, Their father was ugly.

[quote]I find it interesting that the coronavirus is being spread around the affluent Jewish communities. There is an outbreak in Monsey, too.

Looks like Black and Brown people are enjoying POC-privilege in this case. Corona only seems to be hitting wealthy white and Jewish communities where people travel frequently.

[Quote] I find it interesting that the coronavirus is being spread around the affluent Jewish communities. There is an outbreak in Monsey, too.

It’s actually the orthodox Jewish communities, like it was with the measles epidemic. The lawyer who got it is orthodox and it also spread it to an orthodox community in New Jersey.

Monsey is not affluent.

R43, Oh, I didn’t know that. Don’t know Jersey. There are pockets of wealth (and Orthodox) in Rockland, where there’s an outbreak, too.

I’m sorry to seem overly focused on this, but I find it fascinating. When the news was first starting to sink in, late January, I was reading little things that the virus was hitting men, mostly. And also a certain blood type. It sounds tin-hat, but I do wonder about the groups of people who are and are not being killed by this thing.

So, will they be closing down the Broadway version of "Rochelle, Rochelle...a Girl's Erotic Journey From Milan To Minsk"?

You mean Rochelle, Rochelle: The Musical?

Honey, that show never even made it out of Boston.

Will they still let Millie go over to Laura's in the morning for coffee at least?

[quote] groups of people who are and are not being killed by this thing.

You are way overstating this. No “groups of people” have died. There hasn’t even been that many deaths.

R5 Andrew Cuomo is a hot daddy to me. I love his voice. Yes I’m weird!

Chris Cuomo still still has it.

R48, I mean “groups” as in demographics, not numbers. But yes, I agree that the number of sick and dying isn’t high at all, relative to population.

Mario Cuomo in that pic above is ancient...he was a decent looking fellow in youth

Never forget:

“Vote for Cuomo, not the homo.”

Rochelle X 2

I do not get a lot of the jokes on this thread.

They’re from a TV called Seinfeld, r55.

(Good ones too, guys!)

Or The Dick van Dyke Show

That’s the Ellen Van Dyke Show!

R42 I know. All those white wealthy Jews in China and Italy and Iran. Poor them.
