Cuomo And De Blasio Warn New Yorkers To Prepare For “Full Shutdown” Amid Fears Of Overrun Hospitals
gothamist ^ | 12/14/2020 | Jake Offenhartz

Posted on 12/15/2020 7:04:21 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Governor Andrew Cuomo told New Yorkers to brace for the possibility of an imminent shutdown, and Mayor Bill de Blasio urged city residents to work from home if possible, as coronavirus cases and hospitalizations continued to climb across the state.

On Monday afternoon, hours after a Queens health care worker received the first COVID-19 vaccine in the country, Cuomo offered his most dire warning in months about a virus that once again threatens to push hospitals to the brink. "The increase in hospitalizations could overwhelm some regions if nothing changes by January," he said. "If we do not change the trajectory, we could very well be headed to shutdown."

We know that can be easily overcome....just get a ship....and build 10 portable hospitals.

Seriously, we know we can easily increase that. Cuomo is just looking for money.

President Trump should send the hospital ship back to New York.

If you walk around Manhattan ( not recommended), you will note that New York City is already been shut down. They really don’t have to woory about congestion and crowding. People for many reasons unrelated to COVID have deserted the city. Cuomo and DeBlasio are just positioning themselves for athe major portion of the coming Democratic Federal largesse to subsidize their corrupt fiefdoms. Republican states will be drained but not the swamp.

Again, just in case you’re too ****ing stupid to understand this, I’ll put it in plain English, point-by-point:

You cannot get an EUA for anything in the United States if there is a safe and effective treatment that already exists. You must go through regular order and procedure, proving your proposed new treatment is both safe and effective.

Ivermectin is known to be safe; nearly 4 billion doses have been dispensed worldwide over the last few decades and it is listed as an “essential medication” under WHO guidelines. There’s the “safe” component of the requirement.

We have known it is effective against Covid-19 for months. The first evidence emerged in the spring when it was first tested in Broward FL by one medical group. That led to repeated studies with 24 trials having reported out at this point including 10 RCTs, and every one of them has found benefit in all stages of the disease — pre-exposure prophylaxis, post-exposure prophylaxis, early symptomatic disease, hospitalized but moderately ill and critically ill. This is wildly more scientific evidence than many other drugs in common use today have required to be approved. In fact many drugs are approved after only one random controlled trial; Ivermectin has, at this point, ten all of which have returned statistically significant results. The evidence is that if used early it is nearly 100% effective in preventing progression of the disease and even if not used until late (critically ill) it is anywhere from 50-90% effective in preventing death.

THIS HAS NOT BEEN CONSIDERED BY THE NIH OR FDA BECASUE IF IT HAD BEEN AND THEIR POSITION THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE USED OUTSIDE OF CONTROLLED TRIALS WAS REVERSED THEN ANY EUA FOR A VACCINE WOULD BE ILLEGAL AND “WARP SPEED” WOULD HAVE TO BE IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN.

I REMIND YOU THAT IVERMECTIN IS A CURRENTLY APPROVED DRUG WORLDWIDE, HAS BEEN IN USE FOR DECADES AND THUS DOES NOT REQUIRE “NEW” APPROVAL IN THE UNITED STATES.

And oh, by the way, Ivermectin isn’t a “little effective” as prophylaxis either, which is where this can really make a difference by cutting off transmission. An Egyptian study showed 80% effectiveness as prophylaxis and an Argentinian one showed 100% effectiveness. The latter study report is on the NIH site so Fauci knows ******n well it’s there and that it works, and the latter, in particular, showed zero adverse (side) effects indicating against it’s use.

Ivermectin

Ivermectin has shown strong anti-viral and anti-inflammatory effects in numerous controlled and observational studies, reducing covid mortality even in severe cases by up to 90%.
A first meta-analysis showed that ivermectin is highly effective in prophylaxis, early outpatient treatment and even late-phase inpatient treatment of Covid-19.
Based on these results, the US Front-Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) recommends ivermectin for covid-19 prophylaxis and early treatment.
In a study of 33 “long covid” patients, treatment with ivermectin resulted in complete resolution of symptoms in 94% of patients.

Now that Biteme is supposedly official declared the winner; I would think that it would be over; since one of the objectives of all of this was to get rid Trump. /Sarc

Perhaps if you hadn’t squandered the field hospitals and USNS Comfort we might actually believe you.

People are dropping dead EVERYWHERE, haven’t you heard?!

Wait, what’s that? You don’t see people dropping dead everywhere? What? COVID is barely as deadly as the flu?

Hey, who you gonna believe? The media, or your lying eyes (and brain)?

Put your mask on, go home, and stay there, peon. Oh, and just for good measure, hang some sheets of plexiglas up in your house.

I was in NYC two weeks after 9/11.
Drove down 5th Avenue at 4am and it was empty.
Really strange feeling ... like sci-fi, Twilight Zone eerie.
