Ask HN: NYC with autoimmune disease, what should I do?

I'm 30 years old with an autoimmune disease that puts me at high risk of COVID19. I'm otherwise very healthy -- vegetarian, yoga instructor, runs marathons, sleeps 8 hours, non-smoker. I'm isolating well in my apartment: haven't left in 10 days, and work well as a software eng. My main concern is if I do get infected (which is likely [1]), my immune deficiency suggests I'm very likely to become a critical case and need hospitalization, yet the lack of healthcare resources in NYC is appalling [1].

Should I leave NYC? How? Where should I go?
