Lockdown again nyc9/8/2023 ![]() In any case, between vaccinations and past exposure, roughly 95% of America has significant COVID immunity: Serious cases will be rare the most vulnerable should get booster shots authorities should stockpile treatments that’s about it. ![]() Sensible voluntary action did all the good to be done. So protective efforts should have a laser focus on protecting the vulnerable - the opposite of what our disgraced former governor did.Īgain: Data across states and countries show that mandates and lockdowns made no difference in the long run. Plus, Omicron is milder (as viruses become over time).ĬOVID risks are overwhelming to older people (plus others with compromised immune systems). Hochul have said restrictions will be loosened if case numbers remain low. Also, a lot of New Yorkers had survived COVID already and were protected that way. No, those lives were primarily saved by vaccines. Despite less and less stringent rules, the virus is not killing more people.Īt Omicron’s peak, New York saw a staggering 90,000 new cases per day - but deaths were only around 90. Since then restrictions have gotten progressively looser and looser - through the winter 2021 surge, through Delta and most recently through Omicron. At the peak of that surge, we saw around 10,000 new cases per day, with around 1,000 deaths. We experienced the brutal and deadly surge of spring 2020, with harsh restrictions implemented by Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio. Over that period, New York tried every restrictive measure short of China-style “don’t leave your home” tactics to “slow the spread.” And not a one had a notable effect on our COVID outcomes. We’re now more than two years into COVID. But bringing back restrictions won’t do anything. Lift the vax mandate for everyone, Mayor AdamsĬase numbers are not going to stay low. nothing.īut Adams and Hochul - taking their cue from federal health bureaucrats, despite their dismal record these last two years - still say the loosening of restrictions is conditional on future case numbers staying low. That’s precisely the wrong attitude. The test going forward: As case numbers climb, the city and state should do. And Mayor Eric Adams is ending the last, worst schools mask mandate - for kids under 5 - as of April 4. Happily, New York’s leaders seem to get it. The New York Times tells you that the 2020 shutdown worked and vaccine mandates saved lives, but the same piece also claims that the school closures were less than a disaster. Look: It’s now clear that much of what New York (state and city) did these past two years was a mistake. ![]() But the threat just doesn’t justify major disruptions to fight it. Yes, New York may well see another COVID surge, with Omicron’s BA.2 subvariant a likely candidate.
