I'm not sure where I stand on this issue. I can see why he wants the marathon to go on - people have traveled from all over the world to be in NYC for the marathon, and it is something positive that New Yorkers can focus on during this mess.

However, marathons are extremely strenuous. Some people are going to probably faint or become injured. For the marathon to go on, it will have to be policed and there will have to be EMTs and ambulances on duty in case someone needs medical care. I don't think that police officers and EMTs should be focusing on a marathon over millions of people who are homeless, without power, without food, needing medical care, etc.
