On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Dave Chokshi stated that while COVID cases and test positivity have seen steep increases, “we have not seen the same thing with respect to the markers of severe disease, particularly hospitalizations.” And hospitals are currently in “a solid position” with hospitalizations well below the peaks from the spring of 2020 and last winter.
Chokshi said, “We’ve seen cases and test positivity increase sharply, but, as yet, we have not seen the same thing with respect to the markers of severe disease, particularly hospitalizations. Right now, there are about a thousand people hospitalized with COVID-19 across New York City, that’s about a quarter of where we were at the peak of last winter’s wave and less than a tenth of where we were in the spring of 2020.”
Co-host John Berman later asked, “As of now, the hospitals not being taxed, capacity is okay as of now?”
Chokshi responded, “Yes, that’s correct. We’re watching it closely. We’re making adjustments as we need to. But right now, we are in a solid position.”

Well… Duh! They should have paid more attention to South Africa’s experience with Omicron and less to the functional idiot Fauci.
This is so funny....Debasio’s just not going to let anything ruin his Departure Celebration. So all is good.
Give ‘em a little more time to make up the lies and get the lamestream the memo
The Omicold.
Oh Nooooes!!!
What’s important is for the headlines to switch 180 degrees every so often.
They will claim they didn’t have a run because most people were vaccinated.
You have to support the message and the agenda. That position is a little too high profile to be allowed to wander off the ranch.
But wait....This is the WINTER OF DEATH....according to Biden.
I bet his phone is ringing off the hook.
If Omicron is a mile cold, what’s up with the distress over hospital capacity? Do people with mild colds get admitted? I don’t think so.
Must be why Hochul is trying to lock everything down.
He may get a call from the gov.
From the town cryers one would think EVERY case requires hospitalization and ventilators.
Scared rabbits hardest hit.
This guy needs to get back on the plantation to help ramp up the fear. What a let down.
All you hear about is how the number of infections is up and hospitalizations are up. They won’t tell you that Wuhan/moronic virus is sending very few people to the hospital, and is more like a mild cold. The facts being omitted/suppressed tell the tale, and make it clear that the intention is to promote fear through propaganda.
