New York City, populated with 8.4 million residents, (2018) is a cosmopolitan area that houses people from all backgrounds of the world, fostering financial and social mobility. 

However, NYC is being ravaged by the growing pandemic, which killed 20,493 people, and has left 150,000 more with lasting health conditions.

In addition to the sheer number of deaths, the city was overwhelmed by the demand for PPE, with some NYC politicians even having to spend their own money on the delivery and purchase of PPE.

Yuh-Line Niou, Congressional AssemblyWoman of the 65th District, had to physically deliver masks and groceries in the midst of a Pandemic in Chinatown to her people that were stuck at home and unable to work. 

The city has been unresponsive letting thousands die without any checks on the administration. We as a city, as a community, must act now and seek a NEEDED response from the city to establish at least the bare minimum of a healthcare facility, a PPE station.

The community most in need has been Corona which has seen the higher deaths and infection rates of this whole pandemic than any other NYC neighborhood.

More importantly, hospitals have been overrun since the start of the pandemic and abnormal spikes in cases. 

If the city really wanted to help us, they would build more hospitals and health clinics to make sure a disaster like this never happens again.

Please:
