Protests over failed attempts to contain disease

New York (CNN) -- Protests have erupted in New York over the perceived failing of Governor Cuomo and the federal government to contain the disease currently spreading through New York and surrounding states. Experts throughout the nation have stated that considering the rate at which the disease is spreading, it is extremely puzzling that the disease has been relatively contained geographically. While public transportation in New York City has been shut down “out of an abundance of caution”, it has been suggested these measures are not enough to contain the riots in Times Square. Public health officials warn against such gatherings as they have the potential to spread the virus even faster.
