Asians have a large presence in Queens, and Queens has the largest Asian American population by county outside the Western United States; according to the 2006 American Community Survey, Queens ranks fifth among US counties, with 477,772 / 21.18%
Everything needs to go on lockdown. These restaurants still running are out serving people only to infect those ordering and continuing the spread. Feel bad for folks still working at gas stations, grocery stores, banks, and fast food. All that risk for minimum wage.
Orders will be ... unfullfilled.

Germs🦠🦠🦠🦠
Even online shopping or delivery is not safe

Amazon Hires 100,000 New Workers To Cram In Close Quarters Just For KicksSEATTLE—In response to the rising effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the American workforce, Amazon announced Tuesday that it had hired 100,000 new workers to cram in close quarters together just for kicks. “We have taken the significant step of immediately hiring tens of thousands of men and women who will be crammed like sardines in a single, dark warehouse for our amusement,” said Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, explaining that the new employees were not going to be given any tasks or responsibilities except to stand shoulder to shoulder, breathing and coughing on each other for as long as the company felt like keeping them there. “People are getting desperate, so we figured, why the hell not? We’ve got all this cash coming in from cornering almost every market and forcing people unwilling to leave their homes to buy from us, and I can’t imagine a better use for it at this critical time but to stuff as many people as we can possibly fit into a poorly ventilated warehouse and see how long they’ll tolerate the pain and discomfort for 10 bucks an hour.

And if this trial run pans out, we’re considering expanding this crammed-employee program to markets across the country.” At press time, Bezos added that the company was offering anyone who signed up for an Amazon Prime subscription a free live video feed to watch the employees. Wait aren’t they actually doing this though? 'Enjoy pissing in bottles' -Jeff Bezos I mean..
