From the New York Daily News:
Alarming uptick in NYC’s COVID rate prompts de Blasio to launch mask crackdown
Clusters of coronavirus in Brooklyn and Queens have raised the city’s infection rate to an alarming new level, Mayor de Blasio said Tuesday, adding that the city will respond with strict mask enforcement and other steps in COVID hot spots.
Outbreaks in predominantly Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods and other parts of Brooklyn and Queens pushed the city’s overall infection rate to 3.25%, after months in which the rate had been around 1%.
Two things come to mind, First - there is no word as to how many of these are false positives. There have been recorded cases of up to 90% of COVID diagnoses being false. Second - the critical number is not being mentioned at all. How many people are dying from supposed COVID infections. The mortality is dropping and the CDC stated that in all but less than 10% of COVID deaths, there was an average of 2.6 other co-morbidities contributing to the death. Heart attack and COVID is counted as a COVID fatality. Same thing for Cancer and COVID. In some cases, a shooting homicide and COVID have been counted.
Which leads to this draconian bit of rule-making:
Steps announced Tuesday include fines of up to $1,000 for people who refuse to wear masks in these neighborhoods: Gravesend/Homecrest, Midwood, Kew Gardens, Edgemere/Far Rockaway, Borough Park, Bensonhurst/Mapleton, Gerritsen Beach/Homecrest/Sheepshead Bay and Flatlands/Midwood.
Masks do nothing except force the citizenry to submit and comply. The guy is in over his head. Gotham needs another Guilani to bring it back from the dead.
