On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) said the city is “going to need a shutdown, and I think the sooner the better.”
Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “The numbers are already going, as we all know, in the wrong direction, so why wait until after people gather to celebrate the holidays, Christmas, New Year’s, Kwanzaa, folks are celebrating Hanukkah right now, why not do it now?”
De Blasio responded, “Wolf, I think there’s certainly an argument for that. Look, the state of New York makes this decision. I’ve had this conversation several times with Gov. Cuomo, he’s going to make the ultimate decision. But what I would say is, we’ve seen the numbers go up, we are concerned about our hospitals, protecting the ability of hospitals to serve people. Clearly, we are going to need a pause. We’re going to need a shutdown, and I think the sooner the better. I suggested Christmas as sort of an obvious point. When the shopping’s over, and you know, a lot of things are closed down at that point anyway, it’s a very good time to stop activity. But, if it was something the state wanted to do even sooner, I would certainly support it as well.”
Blitzer then asked, “How long do you think a shutdown might be necessary?”
De Blasio answered, “What our health folks always say is it takes between two and four weeks to really see the effects of any kind of restrictions. So, the sooner we start, the sooner we will reap the benefit. But I think that’s the right way to think about it, somewhere between two weeks and a month is typically when you can have a real impact and knock down the infection rate substantially.”

Two should be - Two Soldering Irons
“Two sold’ring irons”....that would work!
It’s time to drag this b*st*rd out of Gracie Mansion and throw him in the Hudson River.
He will be mayor of a ghost town.
Bands won't play no more.
Isn’t NY where they TAX/charge people who are leaving?
Yeah.. I advise that no-one go to Texas... the jackalopes are vicious and will eat you alive!
We will find out soon enough.
I think NJ is doing something similar.
When you sell a house, you py some sort of stipend to the state which it refunds if you buy another house in the state. If you leave, you lose the money. Or so I’ve heard.
NYS, however, is infamous for hounding people for years who have left the state.
If the jackalopes don’t get you the chupacabras will. And if anything is left I’ll throw it into a mess of cactus.
Yup, forgot about that.
We should put up warning signs all around the borders of Texas warning people off!
;)
New Yorkers reply to Comrade DeBlasio - “You need to shut up, shut down your Marxist dictatorship and take that red City Council (some Red Chinese influence could be hidden there) with you”.
Louisiana doesn’t want them either.
These people and others like them -- elected and unelected to positions of trusted authority -- aren't just tyrants, they're sadists ... and sadists must be stopped ... at all costs and in any way possible. There is just no other way. They're simply not going to stop behaving like this on their own!
He's just there to drive the real estate prices down for his CCP masters.
