If you can survive Brighton....😉
You will be fine in NYC. If you put on the local news, you will hear hysteria by both the media and local/state politicians. You will also find crowded subways and buses because we still have to commute. Not everybody telecommutes. Some think that wearing masks will protect them and you’ll see that from time to time on mainly women in their 20s and 30s. Hand sanitizer is difficult if not impossible to find so if use it, bring it from home. I wash my hands all the time too. I also carry hand lotion because of the resulting dry skin from all that hand washing.
I appreciate your saying that you would go to Switzerland. I do really want to go. I can’t allow my exuberance make me reckless which is why I started this thread.
Have a great trip.
