The the mayor of New York proposed conscripting healthcare workers and deploying them to areas in desperate need of medical assistance against their will it made me wonder what he himself was doing to combat the spread of the virus. Was he driving delivery trucks or cleaning rooms in hospitals? Was he putting himself on the line?
The answer is stunning. He himself should be held responsible in part for the spread of the virus. In mid-March, when the pandemic was very real in New York City hospitals, he resisted the closing of schools. Parents were already keeping their students home when on March 15th he finally made the call. His own staffers were ready to quit he was so slow to act. He went to the gym the day he closed gyms. On the eve of closing bars and restaurants he encouraged people to go out one last time and celebrate. He resisted closing Broadway, and he was still giving out movie recommendations in March.
He bears responsibility for worsening the spread of disease, and now he wants to force people to come and bail him out? Without PPE or a plan to keep them safe? All while he is making no visible sacrifices himself? I wish I could say it is unbelievable but he is just an example that idiocy is not limited to one political party.
