There are fears of a breakdown in law and order in New York as the city's key agencies feel the brunt of the coronavirus.
The NYPD has reported that up to a sixth of its force, or around 6,500 members called out sick towards the end of last week and the numbers are not expected to improve over the coming days.
Things are even worse at the FDNY with the number of those having to stay at home because of the disease even higher.
One in four members of its EMT paramedic team, about 4,000 people, are currently having to stay off work.
Among firefighters as a whole, around 17 percent are off on sick leave.

They hate cops anyway so now the residents can figure it out. Maybe call local drug dealer for protection or the Mayor.
So glad to hear that New York is descending into kaous and anarchy and then eventual looting and crime. Those gun hating liberal nut jobs deserve it.
the animals are getting ready to take over
What they gonna do, when they come for them ?? !!!
So much for "serve and protect." They are simply avoiding contact with the public over "fear for their lives," The same reason they shoot unarmed suspects. The FOP will protect their "sick" status while they hide from the public.
As the weather starts to turn, going to be more and more people not following the stay at home orders.
