NEW YORK — Marissa Crider set up strict house rules after recently taking in a third roommate in her apartment in Queens.
While the common misperception has been that only the old and frail can contract the coronavirus, early testing data in the city has shown that young New Yorkers have also been vulnerable. People ranging in ages from 18 to 44 have accounted for 46% of positive tests, according to city data as of Monday.
In the early stages of the outbreak, young people appeared to be largely unmoved by the threat of the virus. They posted memes and videos of themselves defying the guidelines on social media. Images appeared of young people lounging on the beach in Florida for spring break. In New York City, throngs of young people continued to frequent bars and restaurants after city and state officials had issued social distancing guidelines.
Claudia Cruz, 26, and Moriah Berger, 25, met up in the East Village to grab a bite at Lil Frankie’s pizzeria. The pair ate in a nearby park, sitting on separate benches. “We need to shift as much of our focus as humanly possible to protecting folks who are older and have those preexisting conditions,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said Sunday.
But maintaining the 6-feet social distancing rule in New York was tricky, he said. “How do we do it?” he said. “Do we just have to get used to saying, ‘Move away?’ ”
