Kids...

Fifteen children in New York City have been hospitalized with symptoms compatible with a multi-system inflammatory syndrome possibly linked to the coronavirus, according to a health alert issued by the New York City Health Department on Monday.

The patients, ages 2 to 15 years, were hospitalized from April 17 to May 1, according to the alert.

Several tested positive for Covid-19 or had positive antibody tests.

Specialists in the UK recently warned that a small number of children were becoming ill with the rare syndrome that could be linked to coronavirus. The Paediatric Intensive Care Society UK (PICS) warned about a small rise in the number of cases of critically ill children, some who had tested positive for Covid-19.

Fled...

The New York Times reported that researchers tracking the genetic makeup of the virus now believe that many scattered outbreaks in localities around the U.S. had their roots in New York, where city residents fled lockdown orders and likely spread the disease.

"It means that we missed the boat early on, and the vast majority in this country is coming from domestic spread," Kristian Andersen, a microbiology and immunology professor at Scripps Research, told the Times. "I keep hearing that it's somebody else's fault. That's not true. It's not somebody else's fault, it's our own fault."

"We now have enough data to feel pretty confident that New York was the primary gateway for the rest of the country," added the Yale School of Public Health's Nathan Grubaugh.

Prospect...

New York City mayor Bill de Blasio was caught walking almost 11 miles from his home in Manhattan at the weekend, whilst encouraging New Yorkers to snitch on neighbours not adhering to stay-at-home measures.

De Blasio was seen strolling through Prospect Park in Brooklyn with his wife.

Critics say the mayor’s visits to Prospect Park are unnecessarily jeopardizing the health of the staff who drive and accompany him to and from his mayoral residence, Gracie Mansion on the Upper East Side – located within Carl Schurz Park.

The mayor's actions also contradict his plea to New Yorkers to limit non-essential travel under COVID-19 stay home orders.

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.

Wrongdoing...
