New York City’s Health Department recorded the city’s first death of a person under 18 years old, though details about the person’s exact age were not disclosed. There have been 914 coronavirus deaths in New York City, the department reported Monday.
More than 1,200 have died of COVID-19 across New York state, and 9,500 people are hospitalized with the disease statewide. More than 66,000 people statewide have tested positive for the virus, including more than 38,000 in New York City.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday that he expects the crisis to stretch through May. “For the weeks ahead, let’s not kid ourselves, it gets a lot worse before it gets better,” de Blasio said on NBC’s “Today.”
The virus, which causes the disease COVID-19, has spread rapidly across the globe. It causes mild symptoms in many of those infected, but it can cause severe symptoms or death for some, including older adults and those with underlying medical conditions such as respiratory ailments. Relatively few deaths among children have been reported.
Gov. Cuomo to Lawrence O’Donnell: “This is government at work. It is not theoretical. This is all practical, this is all real, this is all experience, this is all competence, this is all capacity… That is the real test of government.”
Current Occupant to the nation: " This is aspirational."
See the difference, America?
So much for being pro-life, Donnie.
If Trump and Pence don’t get their asses in gear then I swear an army of PTA/PTO Moms are going to rise up and take over. (not joking)
The health and science writer from the NYT told Rachel last night that the DoD needs to step in and deal with what’s going on. It made me feel very uncomfortable about that suggestion but the military does know how do logistics, and apparently no one in the Trump WH does know logisitics.
Covid-19 knows no age, ethnicity, social status, or political party…Rest-In-Peace.
So the Greed-Over-People Party’s OK to KAG (Kill American Geriatrics) for Wallstreet & Young is at best misguided!
Not everyone is on the Cuomo bandwagon. I generally ignore much of what Ryan Cooper writes,
but he did make some valid points when pointing out that Washington’s Inslee is what real leadership looks like.
Cuomo and de Blasio were behind the curve, not in front of it.
