      Everyone watching this is seeing them. Everyone that googles "NYC Empty during Coronavirus lockdown" sees them. Contracts are signed and agreed to for advertising. You can't just decide to turn them off.

      Actually at times like these, those adverts can serve as some sort of a moral boost, kinda like saying that even though the roads are empty, doesn't mean that the city loses its charm or liveliness. It can give hope to people that better days are coming and they just need to hold on.

My father already got extra cold and flu medicines just in case. To most it will be flu like with coughing, fevers and muscle aches. If your breathing is short or feeling difficult then consult your doctor or medical provider asap. Strange to say this but I am going through this with everyone that's reading my comment.
