Two weeks to flatten curve.
Remember that? It was several months ago now.
The deal elected officials struck with the American people was to trade lockdowns for hospital capacity. The fear in the early days of the COVID pandemic was that hospital capacity would be overwhelmed if we didnt lock down, curb activity, and so forth. So we got two weeks to flatten the curve.
New York City built a hospital into its Javits Convention Center. President Trump sent a Navy hospital ship to handle the expected caseload.
None of that capacity was needed. Way back in June, CNN declared that New York had flattened the curve. The Javits no longer has a hospital, and the Navy ship went away. We flattened the curve. To hear the media discuss it, despite New York (city and state) being the site of thousands of COVID deaths, theyre the example the rest of the nation should follow.
Well, Mayor Bill de Blasio has altered the deal.
He tweeted:
"We've made great progress on COVID-19, but we're not done until we hit zero. Heres a look at the numbers:
332 new reported cases
61 patients admitted to hospitals
Citywide positive tests are at 1.93%
Practice social distancing, wear face coverings and avoid large crowds."
The likelihood that we ever get to zero cases is, well, zero. Coronavirus is a virus. Once virii hit human populations, they tend to come and go seasonally. Despite all the promising news weve heard about vaccines lately, vaccines dont mean the virus cases zero out anytime soon if ever.

>>Zero what?
Zero jobs left.
Not done until we hit zero? That could have many interpretations.
For example the reign of the Ceausescus in Romania wasn’t done until their heart rates hit zero after being executed by a firing squad.
hope you like the taste of state control gone mad!”

They’re OK with it. Even the ones who left the city. Trust me, they are literally incapable of recognizing the madness they voted for.
In their pursuit of utopia liberals always leave a path of destruction in their wake.
This statement by Wilhelm is actually quite useful.
Its time to shift the debate to is zero new SARS CoV 2 infections achievable, and if yes what is the cost, and if X is the cost, does the reality of COVID justify the cost?
Too many politicians are issuing zero new infection policies without ever having to justify either the THEORY (can it be done at all) or the PRACTICE (what is the cost and does COVID as it actually exists justify such a cost?).
After nine months dealing with COVID I do not believe any level of social intervention can bring about eradication.
And their souls have been psychedelicized
Time!
We already unofficially have two governments. Soon we will have two presidents.
THIS.
He is sick and its readily apparent to most everyone in the country except for the voters in New York City. Hes their guy.

yep. let them eat cake.
Zero what?

De Blasio’s poll numbers.
Very good point!
The real-life escape from New York continues.......
He’s putting a knife in the heart of what little remains of NY City.
Why in the HELL dont they recall this Marxist!!
True colors
“Are we going to go through this all over again the next time there is a virus going around?”
If there is a Republican president and it’s an election year, then yes.
The virus will remain on the earth for the next 10,000 years at least. Does this mean New York will be locked down forever?
Please voters, get rid of this clown. He’s a dangerous clown at this point.
Sounds like New Yorkers are effectively state owned slaves. No constitution applies. Watch them vote themselves in deeper.
Actually you should stay and fix your own state instead of moving to another state bringing your problems with you. Yes you may be conservative but not all refugees are. Also the influx of refugees to other states is stressing the new states infrastructure and causing skyrocketing raising property prices.
boy I hate to break your heart but what I do or won’t do is none of your damn business :)
When is he out of office?
