Mayor De Blasio Tweets He Will Keep New York Under COVID-Unism Forever; "We're not done until we hit zero."
PJ Media ^ | 09/29/2020 | Bryan Preston

“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 didn’t 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, they’re 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. Here’s 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 we’ve heard about vaccines lately, vaccines don’t mean the virus cases zero out anytime soon if ever.

It’s like calculus. You can approach ‘zero’ but you cannot achieve ‘zero’....................

Zero population lol

Some good news for red and swing states though...

Even my family members from NY and NJ are thinking of packing up.

And they are Very Conservative.

A lot of conservative upstate NYers moving too.

Don’t be so sure that all you are getting are liberals.

Or even the majority are liberals.

A LOT of conservatives I know are packing their wagons.

They tell us it will never “go away”, yet they demand we stay shut down until it goes away?

“We’re not done until we hit zero.”


Perfection is the enemy of excellence.

Then again, I’m sure he’s just being political and doesn’t believe a single word he says. If he does, he is a true idiot.

America does not recover from this. We already unofficially have two governments. Soon we will have two presidents.

This was his intention, and that of the dems, from the start.

He is sick and its readily apparent to most everyone in the country — except for the voters in New York City. He’s their guy.

This should alarm all of us.

We will never get to “zero”.

And if we did declare success in eradicating coronavirus, what of other virus and illnesses? Was this whole thing a dress rehearsal for government to assume dictatorial powers over us in perpetuity? There will always be some virus or illness going around. Are we going to go through this all over again the next time there is a virus going around?

The only reason covid cases would hit zero in NYC is that everyone will have left to find a job.If the building has rodents, then you destroy the building in DeBlasio’s book.

Now that the city has been cleared out. “Escape from New York” can be a reality.

Yep, not the United States any longer. In fact, we are more like multiple countries within a country. Eventually something will have to give.
