New York governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City mayor Bill de Blasio are continuing the shutdowns and ruining the state and America’s once most vibrant city. Despite the goal – preventing hospitals from being overrun – long having been over-accomplished.
While a few people initially seem to have missed the bait-and-switch tactic of tricking them into compliance by requesting a two-week break to “flatten the curve” and then keeping them under house-arrest for months with ever-changing goal-posts, many now realize they have been lied to, and their lives ruined in the process.
As the Post fittingly writes: “In mid-March, we were told we have to endure a lockdown to ensure that hospitals didn’t get overrun. We did. The hospitals were not overwhelmed. We turned the Javits Center into a hospital. We didn’t need it. We brought in a giant Navy ship to treat New Yorkers. We didn’t need it.
We were told we were moments away from running out of ventilators. We weren’t, and now the United States has built so many, we are giving them away to other countries.”
