@@StreetfilmsCommunity that was such terrible advice. I honestly think they told people that cause they knew there may be a shortage. Level 3 masks most certainly do help block bodily fluid. As long as you remove the mask properly it helps a lot.
@@savage4312 It is funny! 😊 Even in dark times, you have to keep humor up! As long as it is not personal or insulting, keep the jokes coming! English joke: Crime was committed. Police could not identify the suspects, because they were wearing full PPE. They could however exclude all NHS workers! 😂
@Ronnie Rising Yes, they do, and excess Co2 warms the atmosphere by trapping heat in the Ozone layer. Thats the problem- we are cutting down all the forests so the plants arent eating all our excess Carbon emissions. More trees, less pollution= massive reduction in global warming.
It's sad but true. This really is good for the Earth & planet, it's terrible but we humans have really let are greed get the better of us. I don't like the virus, but I am glad at least one good thing is coming out of this, I hope pollution goes down big-time after.
@Shamoun Kyriakos I'm sorry but I must politely inform you that you are mistaken. Average or small quantities of CO2 are fine yes, but only to a point. If they exceed a certain percentage then it is in fact capable of causing a body harm. Where I fear & feel the confusion is coming from, is the lack of considering how grave and far the extent of deforestation has gone. We no longer have the forests of old that we did even a mere fifty years ago. Much less a hundred. Trees do need carbon dioxide, but...we don't have the trees. Thereby leaving over time larger & larger amounts of Co2 in the atmosphere, which is heating the planet & if nothing else is causing lung problems for those in Beijing & Hong Kong China. Which is why masks are common there. It isn't lies. It's just a point connected to another dire problem, and one that greedy corporations do not want to be addressed or fixed because to fix it will lose them a severe amount of financial game & certain politics in ANY party will contrast the scientific fact & muddy the causes & effects because those same greedy companies will pay them either under the table or upfront for them to argue & nay say what actually is. Listen I work for Starbucks, I love my job, & maybe I am a hypocrit, but I know that somewhere my company is adding to the destruction of the rainforest, so that coffee beans can be farmed. No one is clean, however to say that something is a lie, when it is poorly stated but true, won't help. Also I really felt like someone should inform you of the destruction of the forests around the globe part of the conversation because if we did have the forests then you would in fact be mostly correct. The sad truth of the matter though, is this: we do not. They are gone, however, the good news: If companies like Starbucks could be redirected then maybe, just maybe we can have those trees again? We have to hope so. Thank you for reading & in you're way caring.
I was around 9/11 the city is Already passing the number of deaths from that time. I felt the loss. If we keep having ppl die, it may very well stay like this
If anything, it just emphasises the shitty air you're normally breathing in NY and other big cities. As a small village person from Scotland, I love my fresh air, but whenever I go to London, the snot in my nose turns black.
You now every now and then you come across something like this that will be used to teach people what happened here in the city. Thank you for your work!
Well that is because here in NYC there are almost 9 million of us living within the five boroughs that make up New York City. New York State itself is massive compared in size as far as space goes however in totality the population of NY State is 19.54 million yet it's about 5000 square miles bigger then the UK with a far lower population so throughout the state it would be way less populated. Also certain spots that are just regular active zones out here as well. I live close to Yankee Stadium and in between a mall and a shopping district called Third Avenue and trust me it's like Central Park even right now as scene in this video. After 8 pm it's pretty much dead.
Katie M I’m originally from Staten Island and the only time we would go to Manhattan was at night when downtown was calmer like this. It’s not a bad place when it’s 85% empty. Now I’ve moved to the NJ shore. Never going back
Thank you for this. I was a bike messenger there in the early '90s. The only similar circumstance/memory I can think of is when there was a crazy winter storm in winter of '95-ish and they closed Manhattan to all vehicles except emergency personnel. Of course - on the subways and commuter rails we were packed in like sardines (no 6 feet apart rules that week!).
This just. My humble opinion, nobody should be outside unless you need to buy food or work . This recreation, oh I need my exercise , I want my freedom ... all of that vs risking further spread of a world wide PANDEMIC,. You do the math. Ok
those tourists and bikers outside are the stupid people of the world. when a war, terrorism, earthquake or pandemic hit they are the retards of the world with their heads gazing into the sky wondering whats going on even after warnings of danger have been drilled into their head.
I've been filming private vids all over Manhattan on bikes a few days a week in order to "never forget"... Good job on compare and contrasting older shots. Nicely done!
I am at home watching virus pandemic and zombie movies for 5 days now! Think I will becoming zombie soon if this is not over within the next few days..... From Bangkok 😄
Try next few months, at least! Cases are still going up in Thailand. Meanwhile, binge 'Containment'. It was a 13 episode series that aired in 2016. Pretty good show. Really freaky in hindsight. ruclips.net/video/5jSHuPcenUM/видео.html
NYC has had bumper to bumper traffic since the horse and buggy days. Why do you think almost all streets are now one way? The changeover, to relieve traffic congestion, began in the early 1900s, and continues to this day.
@@starlite556 the world would be better if it had half the population if it includes me or not is irrelevant. Not claiming to be better or worse than anyone else
Very informative video. Here in Philadelphia things are close to normal. I cycle everywhere I go. Friday it was pretty quiet with very lite car and truck traffic. Yesterday and today traffic much more normal. But I did notice a big reduction of pedestrians and jump in bicycle traffic. Looks like we're getting our exercise in, in Philly ! Again, very informative video! PEACE !!!!
@Rick Gary A world where people aren't forced to leave their houses without it being necessary to make a living, with less queues and traffic jams isn't a good thing?
@Rick Gary I want the option, not the obligation. I hate crowds. It is much better when people are always at least 2 meters away from each other, unless they are in some kind of relationship and want to be close. If I were rich I would never want to use public transportation or even walk on the street. I love being protected inside of a bubble.
@Rick Gary I respect your opinion but I disagree. NYC is nice because of the touristic attractions, the diversity of restaurants and places to go shopping etc. I'd rather have lots of parking space and less people crammed everywhere if I could keep the rest 😆 It's like going to the discoteque, it can be fun, but I do not feel comfortable when it's full of people in a way you can't walk without bumping. That's my taste though, some people like chocolate, some like vanilla 😁
Love this video! I’m just confused why the advertising in time square is still running lmao 😂😂😭😭 they need dat doe while the rest of the folks become unemployed. #capitalism #nyc #richorhustling
Great video man good coverage on everything....Sorry that your government did not jump on all of this sooner given that it knew about covid19 b4 Christmas
This is always how it should be. By bicycle. Be smart. Stay safe. This is no joke and should not be taken lightly. At this time many cities are implementing citing people without essential work authorization letters in possession.
there are plenty of people out here at coney island and brighton beach. people are also shopping AND eating OPEN FOOD BUFFETS (tashkent under the train, a supermarket) which is INSANE. anyone can cough or sneeze on the food and it is right there, out in the open. my area has the highest % of old people in new york city by far. i expect a mass of deaths once this thing reaches here, me not excluded.
some of the groceries should tape the sidewalk down 6-7 feet apart while the people side in line for supplies, they feel so much closer than the recommended range, stay safe
Cicyclists should all be wearing protective glasses in case someone coughs or spits in their eyes . Sunlight and exercise are vital to maintain a strong immune system and it is extremely good for the mind . I think people will lose their minds from "cabin fever" and information overload long before ever catching the virus while cicyling . We are learning more every day about how to deal with the virus so the keeping distance is vital . From what I read the virus does not last long in sunshine The surfaces outside could have the virus so wear thin breathable gloves anyway .
remember to KEEP EXTRA DISTANCE WHEN FOLLOWING ANOTHER BIKE. If they cough of sneeze, it lingers in the air for minutes. If you ride into their contaminated air space, you can pick up the germs. Cyclist are moving much faster and can ride into the cough spray from another cyclist that is 4-5 car lengths ahead of them. You are correct, it is eerie to see NYC so desolate.
I love how people keep posting these videos saying, "There's nobody here, it's spooky" and there's still well over 100+ people whether in their cars or joggers. I get it, on a normal day there's thousands, but spooky would be something out of I Am Legend, or Omega Man. Hopefully that won't be the footage someone films in another year. Grass and weeds growing up through the cracks, no power of any kind, and the only sound is the wind blowing between the buildings. THAT would define spooky. Stay safe New York.
This reminds me of the scene from on the beach almost surreal to see New York with almost no cars compared to the way it is normally., the city that never sleeps right now is taking a well-deserved rest.....
Clarence, I see you are riding a WorkCycles bicycle. I guess very few Americans know how to appreciate the quality of this bicycle. Good for you for having this bicycle. As to the corona virus … brace yourself. Expect it to get worse. Regards from The Netherlands. p.s. Your backlight seems disconnected. Looks like you have a Shimano 8 gear hub. Good for the city. I own a WorkCycles with a Rohloff hub. Which is more suitable for hilly terrain. But I digress. What I want to say is for you to try a leather Brooks bicycle saddle for this bicycle. Very comfy. Both in summer as well as in winter time. Disadvantages: a) It requires more care and maintenance, b) it is slightly heavier, and c) the coating will color/contaminate your pants slightly.
Reminds me of "I am legend" I Hamilton (near TORONTO) in Canada HSR wants people on the bus 6 feet apart. Yesterday there were 6 passengers and 2 drivers. One driving and one going to the bus garage at the end of shift. The bus was full no more pickups. They maintained normal schedule but would not pick up anyone. No pickups and the bus gets ahead of schedule because no time is needed to pick up anyone. Slow the bus down do a service adjustment so the drive times are right.
In our country You can only go out for 3 reasons during lockdown: groceries, you have to see a medical professional or you work for essential services for example: medical, military, police, government worker etc. You cannot leave your house at all. Not even to walk your dog or exercise. All other shops are closed. Only chemists and grocers are open. When you leave your house you have to wear a mask. At present ou numbers are still low. We looked at China and Singapore and are following their example. Our death rate is very low Pray God we keep it so. Best regards Sunny South Africa xx
First of all let me say I am so sorry for everything you guys are going through. I am glad you are able to enjoy the beauty that is there. Good Job NY! Awesome self control! We are hoping and praying that the new infections and deaths go down fast. I am glad that you showed the before the NY pause picture since that really highlights the dramatic difference. I live in wedged in the hills and mountains at the edge of the Cascade range in rural southern Oregon. Your quiet is so nice to see. Now our streets in rural Oregon are utterly dead now. I miss seeing people walking, biking and going to Farmer's Markets. People are taking the physical distancing seriously here and I am glad that New York is as well. Since we already stayed 9 feet apart during regular times people feel the need to drive into the mountains to exercise away from one another. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Street films, stay home even though you guys haven't got lockdown yet. Its an airborne virus. Human distancing can't help you if you still outside.
are you guys crazy ?lock down means just that! no you tube bike rides no throwing/kicking the ball or going shopping or house parties- it means stay in side no matter what unless necessary. there were cars and people everywhere in your vid ?? you need to get the words out "stay home" good luck..
Honestly it’s the same in every single city and there is not a single excuse for them to equip some staff with proper gear and let them work on the roads , to fix random stuff , fix the roads , pavements , clean them and even more , clean trains , fix more stuff . They don’t have any excuses , it’s amazing how many people turn a blind eye on this subject .
I'm no expert. But I would guess that people who drive their cars usually live longer from the city center, whereas cyclists live closer and can therefore take their bicycle, hence the difference :)
This is so cool, thank you for the great footage! I love your bike, it looks like a very rugged version of our Dutch bicycles. I'd love to see data on air pollution during this crisis, I'm afraid it will be pretty mind-blowing. Hope we learn something from that and keep some of the positive effects of this for longer.
It is an environmental gift........ Would we ever get the world to stop!! !!even for a moment? Look at us all now!!!!! NATURE BREATHING WITHOUT ALL THE INDUSTRY!!!! ITS A MIRACLE FOR MOTHER EARTH. We can learn a lot at this moment people.... I KINDA LIKE WALKS WITHOUT WORRYING about the CARS !!!! The spring birds are returning as well.., NEW PERSONAL SPACE, FORCED VACATION.....COULD BE WORSE!😁 Thanks to Canadians across this country!..merci. STAY HOME BE SAFE
Well you should bicycle on over to my home town in NJ .. on the Main Street there’s lots of people getting “essential business ice cream cones .. apparently ice cream is deemed essential as long as you eat it outside the ice cream parlor after you’ve waited on line close to people...yes there’s a line of parents and kids with no masks and no social distancing. Guess the virus isn’t so paralyzing in certain parts of New Jersey. But the near bye golf course which is a sport where no one stands near each other still can’t open.
Very cool video and thank you for making it Creative Commons. If I use it I’ll be sure to credit you in the description along with a link to your channel
Cycling is the way forward, the world needs to wake up to this. Here in the UK the bike is making a massive come back and I hope it stays big time after the virus has gone. We too can breath fresh air here also.
I was out two days ago trying to find a bike and luckily I was able to find one. They really do seem to be selling out. The Walmart I went to the Walmart worker said they stock up and within an hour sell out.
Thanks for the tour. I've haven't been to NYC for 30years. I moved to P.R It sure looks different no bike lane when I lived in.nyc. Born snd raised in Harlem
REALLY GOOD POINT !!! WHY ARE THE DISPLAYS STILL ON , THEY COULD SAVE ENERGY BY CUTTING BACK ON ADVERTISING THINGS THAT NO ONE CAN BUY IN THE SHOPS JUST NOW .
With factories, planes and cars idled, this should be the cleanest air we've had in a long time.
It is!

What I want to say is for you to try a leather Brooks bicycle saddle for this bicycle. Very comfy. Both in summer as well as in winter time.
Disadvantages: a) It requires more care and maintenance, b) it is slightly heavier, and c) the coating will color/contaminate your pants slightly.
Reminds me of "I am legend" I Hamilton (near TORONTO) in Canada HSR wants people on the bus 6 feet apart. Yesterday there were 6 passengers and 2 drivers. One driving and one going to the bus garage at the end of shift. The bus was full no more pickups. They maintained normal schedule but would not pick up anyone. No pickups and the bus gets ahead of schedule because no time is needed to pick up anyone. Slow the bus down do a service adjustment so the drive times are right.
In our country You can only go out for 3 reasons during lockdown: groceries, you have to see a medical professional or you work for essential services for example: medical, military, police, government worker etc. You cannot leave your house at all. Not even to walk your dog or exercise. All other shops are closed. Only chemists and grocers are open. When you leave your house you have to wear a mask. At present ou numbers are still low. We looked at China and Singapore and are following their example. Our death rate is very low Pray God we keep it so. Best regards Sunny South Africa xx
Watching this 04-03-2020. As the epicenter of coronavirus in the USA. NYC last nite had 1,000 deaths. Stay safe and avoid all human contact!
social distancing? Don't you mean physical distancing. We are still being social, no one is distancing from being social.
First of all let me say I am so sorry for everything you guys are going through. I am glad you are able to enjoy the beauty that is there. Good Job NY! Awesome self control! We are hoping and praying that the new infections and deaths go down fast.
I am glad that you showed the before the NY pause picture since that really highlights the dramatic difference. I live in wedged in the hills and mountains at the edge of the Cascade range in rural southern Oregon. Your quiet is so nice to see. Now our streets in rural Oregon are utterly dead now. I miss seeing people walking, biking and going to Farmer's Markets. People are taking the physical distancing seriously here and I am glad that New York is as well. Since we already stayed 9 feet apart during regular times people feel the need to drive into the mountains to exercise away from one another.
Thanks for sharing!
good job new yorkers.kets fight this togather.
Hello Street films, stay home even though you guys haven't got lockdown yet. Its an airborne virus. Human distancing can't help you if you still outside.
Stay safe in many ways including not hurting yourself just by riding. Look at this: spongywonder.com/
Turn it the Foff...no one needs blinking bilboards during this !
are you guys crazy ?lock down means just that! no you tube bike rides no throwing/kicking the ball or going shopping or house parties- it means stay in side no matter what unless necessary. there were cars and people everywhere in your vid ?? you need to get the words out "stay home" good luck..
still see lot of people O-O god damt
Honestly it’s the same in every single city and there is not a single excuse for them to equip some staff with proper gear and let them work on the roads , to fix random stuff , fix the roads , pavements , clean them and even more , clean trains , fix more stuff . They don’t have any excuses , it’s amazing how many people turn a blind eye on this subject .
I'm no expert. But I would guess that people who drive their cars usually live longer from the city center, whereas cyclists live closer and can therefore take their bicycle, hence the difference :)
This is so cool, thank you for the great footage! I love your bike, it looks like a very rugged version of our Dutch bicycles. I'd love to see data on air pollution during this crisis, I'm afraid it will be pretty mind-blowing. Hope we learn something from that and keep some of the positive effects of this for longer.
It is an environmental gift........ Would we ever get the world to stop!! !!even for a moment?
Look at us all now!!!!! NATURE BREATHING WITHOUT ALL THE INDUSTRY!!!!
ITS A MIRACLE FOR MOTHER EARTH. We can learn a lot at this moment people....
I KINDA LIKE WALKS WITHOUT WORRYING about the CARS !!!! The spring birds are returning as well..,
NEW PERSONAL SPACE, FORCED VACATION.....COULD BE WORSE!😁
Thanks to Canadians across this country!..merci. STAY HOME BE SAFE
Still many cyclist, joggers, walkers in SoCal, but we all apart, except for couples, families.
Well you should bicycle on over to my home town in NJ .. on the Main Street there’s lots of people getting “essential business ice cream cones .. apparently ice cream is deemed essential as long as you eat it outside the ice cream parlor after you’ve waited on line close to people...yes there’s a line of parents and kids with no masks and no social distancing. Guess the virus isn’t so paralyzing in certain parts of New Jersey. But the near bye golf course which is a sport where no one stands near each other still can’t open.
Thanks for sharing. I was wondering what Central Park was looking like. Stay safe out there. Peace. (DH, Oklahoma City, Mar 24, 2020)
Trader Joe's seemed to be the worst place you filmed for social distancing.

P E O P L E !!!
Very cool video and thank you for making it Creative Commons. If I use it I’ll be sure to credit you in the description along with a link to your channel
You see I love this. A bike is great for your health but it’s an absolutely superb form of transportation
Cycling is the way forward, the world needs to wake up to this. Here in the UK the bike is making a massive come back and I hope it stays big time after the virus has gone. We too can breath fresh air here also.
4:20 I'd rather they keep that advertisement there than risk the lives of workers (and their family) family taking it down
HUH.?
I was out two days ago trying to find a bike and luckily I was able to find one. They really do seem to be selling out. The Walmart I went to the Walmart worker said they stock up and within an hour sell out.
Obviously people still don't get it.....people will die from the stupidity and selfishness of others !!!
Thanks for the tour.
I've haven't been to NYC for 30years. I moved to P.R It sure looks different no bike lane when I lived in.nyc.
Born snd raised in Harlem
REALLY GOOD POINT !!! WHY ARE THE DISPLAYS STILL ON , THEY COULD SAVE ENERGY BY CUTTING BACK ON ADVERTISING THINGS THAT NO ONE CAN BUY IN THE SHOPS JUST NOW .
I now why nobody is outside it’s the day we’re Animal Crossing new Horizons came out 🥺❤️
Come to Williamsburg Brooklyn, its a fucking party at McCaren Park.
I'm too social distancing but from NY and now in Clearwater, Fl for 27 yrs.
thank you for sharing this. I hope we can look back at this and learn a lot.
And homeless? Still 100’s in a dorm...
