USA: New York City

On 17th March I got four postcards: one from the USA and three from Germany.

The card from the USA shows New York City. New York City is a city on the East Coast of the USA in the State of New York. It is the largest city of the USA, an important financial centre, a global city and the seat of many international concerns and organisations such as the United Nations. Furthermore it is a centre of art, commerce, creativity, education, entertainment, entrepreneurship, environmental sustainability, fashion, media, research, politics, sports, technology and tourism and has been described as Capital of the World or as The City that Never Sleeps. In recent days however the city has been petrified by the coronavirus and large event are cancelled or postponed. It is currently the worst-affected part of the USA, which itself has the most confirmed active cases in the World and ranks third in the number of total deaths from the virus.
