Former NYPD commissioner bashes de Blasio over ‘atrocious,’ ‘outrageous’ bid to enforce social distancing
“I think it’s atrocious. I think it’s outrageous that the mayor would put the cops, the men and women in law enforcement in a position to do this,” Kerik said, adding that the order “contradicts everything you want to think about with regard to community relations.”...
...”I think the mayor forgets [that] the mayor is responsible for New York City,” he said. “Not the president, the mayor.” Kerik noted that former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani kept a plaque on his desk that read “I’m responsible,”....
“[Giuliani] had to prepare for the crisis. He had to work on the response, the rescue, the recovery, the investigation ... not just calling out the president and saying ‘You will give me this,’” Kerik said...
Kerik added that too many political leaders don’t feel the same accountability when they order extensive lockdowns and business shutdowns, specifically calling out New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a former Goldman Sachs employee with a net worth of millions of dollars.
“[He] doesn’t give a damn about the people in New Jersey that have to live paycheck to paycheck,” Kerik said of Murphy, adding, “these mayors and governors are breaking people — mentally, financially, professionally.”

...While it’s clear there are numerous causes of the second-week crash, doctors still can’t predict which of their patients will crash. Age may play a role, but crashes are occurring in young patients as well. Patients with underlying medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and obesity seem to be at higher risk.
Nevertheless, doctors are taking action, instituting new precautions to prevent the second-week crash...
