Recognized...

Thousands of employees at a hospital in the epicenter of America's fight against the coronavirus are being rewarded for their hard work.

More than 4,000 hospital staff -- including doctors, physician assistants, nurses, and facilities and food service teams -- at NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst were surprised with a three-night complimentary vacation, Hyatt and American Airlines announced Friday.

The two companies collaborated to treat the frontline workers with free round trip flights on American Airlines to Hyatt hotels in select destinations across the US and Caribbean "to help them recharge and reconnect with their loved ones" once they are able to.

Grandma...

Most of the new cases of coronavirus coming into hospitals in New York state are people who are older, not working and predominantly at home, Governor Andrew Cuomo said.

The findings were the result of a three-day survey of New York hospitals and 1,300 patients.

Among the key results:

Most are from the New York City area

Most are 51 years old or older

They are predominantly minority and non-essential workers

Only 3 percent in New York City have been taking public transportation

Only 17 percent were employed (the rest are unemployed or retired)

84 percent are staying at home.   Just a thought.

Samaritan...

The bureaucrats pestered the group "Samaritan’s Purse" for information about its cultural practices. Four local Democratic members of Congress — Reps. Jerry Nadler, Carolyn Maloney, Adriano Espaillat and AOC  sent a letter to Mount Sinai expressing their “concern” about the group’s efforts and demanding to know how it had received permission to operate in Central Park.

Mount Sinai pointed out that “the virus kills people of every religious belief, ethnicity, gender identity and sexual orientation” and that Samaritan’s Purse treats all patients.

But that wasn’t good enough. A well-practiced culture warrior, Johnson was the group’s most vehement, and least gracious, enemy.

Well, I'm not sure if the politicians are really concerned more about the life and death of the New Yorkers or just to be in the news.

I hope that the politician have prepared the city for such a difficult pandemic as they all realized the danger and let the fault pointing at a later time when the cost is clear.

New York State has the largest number of death in the Country and that wasn't just a bad luck. Just a thought.

Beef...

Wendy uses fresh beef for their hamburger, and many restaurants ran out of it.

Sniffing...

Trap...

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s five years in office have been marked by a thriving economy locally and nationally. New York City is expected to bring in $92.2 billion in revenue next year – up about $14 billion from de Blasio’s first budget, enacted in 2014. 

But the mayor once again played the role of cautious fiscal steward in his preliminary budget presentation, saying that the city’s finances face an “unusual level of uncertainty” due to a number of outside threats.  

NYC became a death trap for New Yorkers because of the planned condense population acted by politicians and by Covid 19.
 

As a result of the Covid, the city will lose 500,000 jobs.  Some businesses may also move out of the city due to the stay at home /Shelter in place interruption to business, and
many may have fled the city due to Covid 19 trap by going outside the city and the State.

With that 20,000 Death of Citizens in NYC alone due to Covid 19.. NYC became a death Trap.

Bugle...

Andrew Cuomo took the blame off of himself and instead partially blamed the media and experts.

 "Where were all the experts? Where was the New York Times, where was the Wall Street Journal, where was all the bugle blowers who should say, 'Be careful, there’s a virus in China that may be in the United States?' That was in November, December.”​ 

 The governor said that he wished he had acted sooner in responding to the spread of the virus.

"I wish someone stood up and blew the bugle. And if no one was going to blow the bugle, I would feel much better if I was a bugle blower last December and January," he said.  

New York Times Metro Editor Jorge Arangure responded on Twitter, saying the Times wrote 450 stories about coronavirus between January 9 and March 1.

Meanwhile, the governor revealed that 31 percent of those tested in New York City have antibodies present, indicating they were exposed to the virus. The statistics show much lower numbers in more rural parts of the state.

Full Service......

A strip club in Houston won a temporary order from federal court to resume business this weekend under the governor’s reopen order, drawing the frustration of local officials tasked with enforcing new rules amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Club Onyx opened just after midnight Friday, claiming it’s a full-service restaurant and that strippers there were merely “entertainment.” The governor’s order allowed restaurants, retail businesses, malls and movie theaters to open at 25 percent capacity.

A federal judge approved a temporary restraining order against the city of Houston, which means a strip club can stay open as a restaurant.

Club Onyx filed the suit today after being shut down last night, just hours after they opened under Gov. Abbott's phase I plan.
