New York Mayor Bill de Blasio Says Half Of The City Could Get Coronavirus

Mayor Bill de Blasio is bracing New Yorkers for a slew of more coronavirus patients, saying that he believes that up to half of the population could catch the virus.

“We don’t even know, truly, when it first asserted here in the city. There could’ve been people who had it before we even knew it was here,” he told reporters during a briefing. “So what we do know, based on a lot of different projections … It’s a fair bet to say that half of all New Yorkers, and maybe more than half, will end up contracting this disease. And that’s worrisome, very deeply worrisome, for all of us, but we have to start with the truth.”
