I've said it before. New York has a hapless Governor and a clueless Mayor. They're running around wailing about the ventilators they need and don't have while the not using what they already have on hand.
In the mean time, they are allowing the Chinese virus fire that is COVID 19 to continue to spread unabated through the city. This is something else I've said before. NYC has an Achilles heel.
Mass transit.
Mass transit is the blood of the city. The city cannot live without it. It is used not just by commuters, but by all kinds of essential personnel. It has to used in far more wise way.
This is a video of the current subway service in the city.
A fed-up straphanger went off the rails on social media over recent packed city subway cars, trashing the MTA for its alleged shoddy service and posting videos of stuffed trains in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.Someone says“We’re all going to f–king die,” the woman says in a YouTube clip shot Friday. “Packed. And then you continue to say 6 feet away from each other. How is this possible?
“How is this possible with the MTA?” said the woman, who described herself as an essential health care worker who commutes from the Bronx to Queens. “Last week, the trains were empty. And now, this week, it’s packed. This is (a) death trap, and we have to go to work. And you have people waiting 20 minutes, a half-hour in between, because MTA workers are sick.”
“Gov. Cuomo, how serious are you?” she said. “The MTA has to be addressed.”Damn right.
Because the subway service has been cut back, the cars are jammed as is seen. This is counter to the necessary 6 feet of social distancing needed to help "flatten the curve."

Who knows? Maybe this will put a damper on the “new urbanism movement’s” push to drive us out of our cars and suburbs and pack us all into public transportation and “high-density” apartment buildings.

Need some traffic?
Don’t live in a city you need to take a sardine train to get to and from work. People should excape and move to suburbia especially get away from the Democrat rulers.
If I were in a place like this and couldn’t work from home I would try to bring a sleeping bag to work and just stay there.
No! We have enough of those bastards here in PA!
Their biggest failure is denying life saving drugs while they run their little clinical trials- (Yet his brother, apparently, gets the drug possibly- He kinda let slip that he was having nightmares and hallucinations- but some say this is a side effect of the Hydroxy drug- dont’ know for sure if he’s getting it, but very likely he is-)
From Cuomo’s EO:
No pharmacist shall dispense hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine except when written as prescribed for an FDA-approved indication; or as part of a state approved clinical trial related to COVID-19 for a patient who has tested positive for COVID-19, with such test result documented as part of the prescription. No other experimental or prophylactic use shall be permitted, and any permitted prescription is limited to one fourteen day prescription with no refills.
Wailing about the ventilators they need and don’t have while the not using what they already have on hand.
Hey Tony says we agotta maka money to you no talk about it.
Shhhhh, they will bring their voting habits with them.
This virus threatens to make election demographics change vastly.
Looks like NYC is getting a head start on herd immunity by keeping the subways running.Can’t think of a better way to infect the herd than to put them in crowded cattle cars
It’s not just mass transpo.
It’s the neighborhoods filled with illegal multifamily dwellings that pack people in like sardines in a can.
“This is counter to the necessary 6 feet of social distancing”
How does that matter with all the contaminated surfaces that everybody touches in a subway?

Identity Politics Lied. New Yorkers Died

New York Citys Latina Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot was warning that “even brief contact with the police or indirect exposure is associated with lasting harm to people’s physical and mental health”. “We as a public health department have really been trying to frame criminal justice system involvement as an exposure,” Barbot’s epidemiologist, Kimberly Zweig, claimed. Zweig had a degree in epidemiology, but her focus was entirely on PTSD and stress. Not on disease. Why was New York City so badly unprepared for the arrival of the coronavirus? The answer was radical politics. And Barbot and Zweig embodied the public health mismanagement of a radical administration. (Excerpt) Read more at frontpagemag.com ...
