The organization known as New York Calling is using its creative connections to made and supply 3D printed face shields to hospitals in the city.
Like many native New Yorkers living abroad, Tunisia-based art dealer and creative consultant Katherine Li Johnson has been anxiously watching the rise of COVID-19 cases in her hometown from afar. The stream of messages flooding her inbox from medical-worker friends in the worst-hit areas of the city—including Queens, where she was born and raised, and the Bronx, where her brother’s girlfriend works as a physician’s assistant at the Montefiore hospital—has been particularly upsetting.
“We were all just like, ‘How can we all make this happen?’” says Johnson of the group, which includes members from a diverse range of creative backgrounds, from industrial designers to virtual-reality developers.on Instagram using PayPal and Venmo on April 2, quickly raising more than $5,000 in less than 20 hours. The prototype shields they produced as a result were then approved by an acquaintance in procurement at Montefiore Hospital.

New York Quickly Builds Thousands Of Emergency Hamptons Mansions To Shelter WealthyEAST HAMPTON, NY—In an effort to rapidly meet the needs of those most affected by the coronavirus pandemic, New York officials announced Tuesday that they were quickly building thousands of emergency Hamptons mansions to shelter wealthy residents. “We allocated hundreds of million dollars in state funding and dispatched emergency crews to begin construction on thousands of estates, country houses, and other large abodes along the Long Island shore to ensure that each and every wealthy New Yorker can ride out the pandemic in safety and comfort,” said New York governor Andrew Cuomo, adding that the state hoped to have the first round of 40-room mansions fully constructed and outfitted with all the latest appliances and tech features by the end of the week, although he did stress that some of the wealthy might have to make do with temporary townhouses. “Please bear with us while we finish these sorely needed seventh bedrooms, indoor saunas, and infinity pools. I’ve also issued an executive order to divert food supplies to the Hamptons so that residents will have enough to serve all their guests at their weekend parties. The state has also requested emergency supplies of oak and granite to finish all the flooring and countertops before the wealthy arrive in their private chartered cars. If necessary, we are prepared to invoke emergency powers to finish all of the tennis courts and wine cellars. In this time of crisis, we must do everything we can to ensure that all wealthy New Yorkers have access to the basic luxuries they need.” At press time, MSNBC pundits were praising Cuomo’s handling of the crisis, commenting that his drive to help the wealthy no matter what it cost made him seem very presidential.
