The best day for NYC is when DeBlasio and his faux bisexual wife are out of our lives forever. I don't care how it happens. Despicable humans.

p.s. I really do get the strong impression that he shares with Trump that he loathes management chores and if forced to do them they discombobulate him, as the New Yorker quotes Cuomo staff, gets "psychotic". He likes politicking and sloganeering for the ego-gratification, wants the cheering throng. Not really to work, working not for him, stresses him out, messes with his head, can't make decisions. Schmoozing, that's the thing he likes. And going to the Brooklyn gym, which he can't do no more, pisses him off. And making pay-to-play deals with the guyz.

Management, that's for the deputy mayors and the individual borough presidents who have their own payola and nepotism going on. He thought the was just gonna be a figurehead with budgets of $860million here and there for program ideas of Chirl's...

Only if Chirl can do it in Brooklyn.

He can't go to his Brooklyn gym anymore, but he still goes to Brooklyn, has the motorcade take the two of them all the way to Prospect Park in Brooklyn all the time for exercise--apparently they just can't stomach either Carl Schurz Park which Gracie Mansion sits upon (5 blocks long and right on the East River) and Central Park (about 7 blocks away) just has so many Manhattanites using it or something. He must have had the impression he was going to be the mayor of Brooklyn and was shocked to learn when he won that he would be in charge of 5 boroughs?

He's got his own pestering "media" in the form of "Darren," it seems, just discovered his tweet work today:

I live right near Prospect Park. It's a nice place to exercise at distance. Today, I ran into @nycmayor @billdeblasio w/ @nycfirstlady there.

But they live 11 miles away *inside* another park and force a 4 SUV entourage to drive them non-essentially to Bklyn for recreation (1/n) pic.twitter.com/4BLjSotw2n

de Blasio opposes opening streets for all, esp 4 those who don't happen to live near a nice park, aren't chauffeured in fossil-fuel convoys to Park Slope

They tend to be poorer, working class, POC.

@NYCMayor no, I won't "give it a break." You don't get a break. We don't get a break.

You can't change the past & will always have blood on your hands.

If I were you, I'd be working night & day to help those in most dire need. Maybe start with your inadequate homeless services. pic.twitter.com/i71ulg7Hvl

New York Put Recovering Virus

New York Put Recovering Virus Patients in Hotels. Soon, 4 Were Dead.

The deaths revealed lapses in the monitoring of people sent to isolation, a critical part of the city’s efforts to slow the outbreak

By Ashley Southall & Nikita Stewart @ NYTimes.com, April 24

When Robert Rowe Jr. was discharged from the hospital this month after testing positive for the coronavirus, he needed a place to stay so he would not put his 84-year-old father at risk. New York City health officials put him up at a three-star hotel in Midtown Manhattan.

The room was provided under a city program that was intended to protect recovering patients’ families and roommates. Case workers are supposed to check on the patients twice a day by telephone.

But on Saturday, Mr. Rowe, 56, was found dead in his room at the Hilton Garden Inn on West 37th Street, nearly 20 hours after a city worker last phoned him, though it was unclear whether he picked up.

Two other men sent to the same hotel — Julio Melendez, 42, and Sung Mo Ping, 64 — also died last weekend, and a fourth man in the program died early this month at a Queens hotel.

The deaths exposed holes in the way the city monitors isolated patients and underscored the difficulty in containing the outbreak in New York City: how to keep people who have been infected or exposed to the coronavirus from passing it on.

“This was his city, and it failed him,” Mr. Rowe’s sister, Andrea Rowe Crittenden, said. “New York failed him.”

Borrowing from the experiences of some Asian cities, health officials in New York have made isolating infected people, especially those who live in cramped homes and homeless shelters, a critical part of their plan to combat the virus.

Since the three deaths at the Hilton Garden Inn, Mayor Bill de Blasio has stepped up efforts to monitor people staying at the hotels, placing security guards and emergency medical technicians in inns with five or more patients and screening guests to determine if they need a higher level of care. He also announced plans to hire a chief medical officer to oversee the program.

In addition, the mayor promised an inquiry to determine how the victims wound up dead after receiving the all-clear from doctors at three different hospitals and while being monitored by the city [....]

There's very little difference between how de Blasio and Trump mishandled the coronavirus. Both massively downplayed it, misinformed the public about its risks, resisted the advice of health officials before being forced by public outcry to implement any sort of response. https://t.co/FT4iUktYzC

Wow. Ex-CDC head says if DeBlasio had listened to Health officials and implemented stay-at-home orders ten days earlier casualties from Covid-19 might have been 50-80% fewer. https://t.co/bs3ohbuToa

de Blasio has cut funding for Summer Youth Employment, education, climate, even Vision Zero, while INCREASING funding for a bloated NYPD & planning expensive, frivolous, risk-creating follies like Macy's fireworks and a parade. pic.twitter.com/pMDFqkmbVH
