Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Monday night that he does not anticipate New York City fully reopening until September despite declining hospitalization rates and deaths.
The city is on lockdown along with the rest of the state until May 15 at least, after which point is must meet seven requirements set out by Gov. Andrew Cuomo before it can reopen.
…
New York City currently meets three of the four criteria; it is lacking in free hospital beds and does not yet have the number of contact tracers – people to track down everyone who has come into contact with new COVID-19 cases – that Cuomo is insisting on hiring before it can reopen.
What do you mean you don’t have free beds? We gave you a fucking medical ship with 1,000 beds and you guys sent it back!
President Donald Trump said the US Navy hospital ship Comfort would leave New York City as soon as possible after Gov. Andrew Cuomo said it was no longer needed in the city’s fight against the coronavirus.
The USNS Comfort was deployed to New York City on March 30 to help the city’s hospitals as they struggled with a tidal wave of coronavirus patients.
The 500-bed US Navy hospital ship Comfort is leaving NYC after treating just 179 patients in 3 weeks
And another 1,000 bed in a military field hospital in Javits Center is being closed because they are not sending patients their way.
Sao they piss away 2,000 beds and then bitch they don’t have enough. And if New Yorkers are fine with that, please do not come crying for the rest of the country to bail them out with our taxes so they can by Starbucks and Sushi to survive.
This scene from Escape from New York makes more and more sense every day.
I think somebody is intoxicated with power to the point Narcan may beed to be employed.

Less than 20% of eligible voters actually voted in the last NY mayoral election. NY Voters, this is what your apathy has wrought, deal with it.
So they shut down the country on one or two “projections” that proved to be faulty at best. And they removed our freedoms without any study, analysis, or consulting the will of the people. But now we have to meet their “critiria” (aka demands) before they’ll grant us back our freedom and livelihoods?
Been seeing conflicting info on the hospital ship. I’ve seen that they were only admitting non coronavirus patients when come packaged up with X number of weeks of any required meds (I think it was one or two weeks). If that is true, yea no shit they didn’t treat or admit hardly anyone, that’s a pretty high bar to cross.
