Today, as the hospital ship USNS Comfort entered New York Harbor with the mayor on hand, maybe he should have stuck around to provide a reminder about the city’s social distancing guidelines:

Groups of people are ignoring #SocialDistancing and gathering in the few spots where you can get a glimpse of the #USSComfort. Police told people to disperse.#Comfort #NYC #COVID19 #coronavirus #NewYork #PIX11NEWS pic.twitter.com/6i6jA1a7dk
