His stubborn refusal to take the coronavirus seriously may have caused thousands of deaths.
Americas COVID-19 devastation is disproportionately a story of New York States devastation, and New York States devastation is overwhelmingly a story of New York Citys devastation. Theres a case to be made that New York City mayor Bill de Blasio is the single individual in the United States who is most to blame for the catastrophic loss of human life.
I refer you to a grueling investigation by Charles Duhigg in the New Yorker that painstakingly compares the responses to the outbreak in Seattle and New York City. Seattle, paying heed to warnings from scientists, acted quickly to stem the outbreak; de Blasio, despite having several weeks after Seattle announced its first case to prepare for the deluge, shrugged at the virus and even advised people to go out and mingle. As of April 26 Seattle appears to be in good shape: King County, Washington has had 5,739 cases and 400 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins University dashboard.
New York is another story: 17,126 deaths in the city, 22,009 deaths in the state, and nearly all of the states deaths are in the metro area. Thats out of 53,755 deaths in the entire country. New York City, with less than 3 percent of the U.S. population, has more than 30 percent of the countrys fatalities. Gotham has been crushed so badly that the Johns Hopkins coronavirus dashboard lists only four countries (Italy, Spain, France, and the U.K.) with more deaths than the city. The worst-hit country, Italy, has only about 50 percent more deaths from the virus than New York City despite having more than six times the population.

Hes second gen thoroughly corrupt.
I couldn't take living in the hell he made of the city, jamming it full of illegals and Chinese taking over neighborhood after neighborhood, remaking them into what they left back in China--ghettos. I could no longer tolerate getting into my car and immediately entering bumper to bumper hell--even for a short trip to the grocery. And then the separate hell of circling the block several times to find a parking space upon my return, often a couple blocks from my home. I bought a collapsible wagon to keep in my car to carry groceries and other heavy purchases so I wouldn't have to carry them for blocks. And now, with the new law releasing criminals immediately upon arrest and his asinine response to COVID, I am SO glad I left.
