over a dozen I think so we're doing it
again today at 6:00 p.m. the sweet trend
started in Italy where people have been
on lockdown because of the corona virus
pandemic for weeks
in addition to applauding health care
workers and first responders Italians

out every day yeah

message for a city beleaguered by the
virus and the couple says they plan to
do it every day of the quarantine to
help remind people New Yorkers are tough
