Not to mention the tax base.” Well, thank goodness we have public sector unions to protect the most essential workers of all!!! 1 1

So...why are we still in lockdown until June 13? ...something seems to be contradictory............ Phase 1 of reopening starts in Rochester area, but 'by no means are we out of the woods' Brian Sharp, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Published 9:47 a.m. ET May 15, 2020 | Updated 3:22 p.m. ET May 15, 2020 Monroe County had more active cases of the novel coronavirus and more residents hospitalized as it began a phased reopening Friday than at any point in the pandemic. The local numbers drove an uptick in hospitalizations for the nine-county Finger Lakes region. But while acknowledging "some surprises, if you will, in the last few days," Monroe County Public Health Commissioner Dr. Michael Mendoza said Friday that the data show no evidence of a surge. Regional numbers have declined overall, since peaking last month. The Monroe County curve has flattened. The number of patients in the ICU has remained steady. "By no means are we out of the woods," Mendoza said, adding: "We need to look at the next weeks and months, frankly, with a lot of pause, a lot of thoughtfulness." Gov. Andrew Cuomo has pointed to data as driving the decisions to begin reopening some manufacturing, construction and other businesses here and in select regions across the state. https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2020/05/15/phase-1-reopening-ny-coronavirus-cases-hospitalizations-going-up/5191995002/ State, local beaches may open Friday before Memorial Day weekend WHECTVUpdated: May 15, 2020 01:56 PM Created: May 15, 2020 11:54 AM ALBANY, N.Y. (WHEC) — State and local beaches and lakeshores may open Friday before Memorial Day weekend, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday. The governor stated that in order to open, each location must meet these minimum conditions: Mandating no more than 50% capacity, by ensuring controlled exits/ entrances, limiting parking. Prohibiting group contact activities, including sports (e.g. volleyball, football). Keeping areas of social gathering closed (e.g. designated picnic areas, playgrounds, pavilions, arcades and amusement rides). Enforcing social distancing measures for both employees and visitors. Requiring masks to be worn of all employees and visitors when social distancing is not possible. Closing concessions. Ensuring staff levels are adequate to achieve these measures and enforce crowd control. Cuomo also announced that while beaches run by cities, towns and counties may open on Friday, May 22, they can also decide to remain close. Locally, the City of Rochester has said that Durand-Eastman Beach and trails have always been open for passive recreation. Durand has not been open for swimming the past couple of years and "nothing is changing from the city's perspective." 3

Businesses are opening back up and people are doing what they can to return to normalcy. But the bad decisions made by politicians in the hardest-hit areas, specifically New York, should not go unnoticed as we start to pull away from the pandemic. 1

He said it with an impressive combination of coldness and glee, looking like some kind of hard-faced Caligula-like character. Let them hate me so long as they fear me. Here's the NBC YouTube: Reporter: "...I mean, seriously, they have to pay for their food, they have to pay for their buildings, even, you know, month to month, and they're not getting any income...

Don’t bail ’em out. Let them live with their choices. What a load of crapola. The reason they've collected less is because of the delay in income tax filing. They are talking about 2019 income tax revenue which has what the ***** all to do with Coronavirus? Quote The Empire State collected $3.7 billion, or $7.9 billion less than the previous April. Personal income-tax revenue fell more than $7 billion from last April, a drop that was primarily due to the delayed tax filing deadline. 2

As for Cuomo , If he has said that , it will be one of the few things I’ve agreed with him on thus far. Perhaps he has recently come around to admitting that reality. While I’m sure anyone would want it to be untrue, it’s just the fact we must deal with. 1

Joe Miner Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 11 hours ago, B-Man said: Vulnerable people are going to die has been a true statement this whole time and is true in almost any dangerous situation. The problem arises when another person's actions or decisions directly place vulnerable people in those deadly situations. Words like culpability and negligence might come into play. 1 3
B-Man Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 GOV. CUOMO EXCUSES HIMSELF New York has been by far the worst center of Wuhan virus infection in the U.S., and it seems clear that New York’s governor, Andy Cuomo, has done a terrible job. Among other things, he went out of his way to force New York’s nursing homes to accept residents who had tested positive for COVID-19, an absolutely irrational act that killed thousands, which he has since rescinded. Nevertheless, even as his incompetence cost thousands of lives, Cuomo has adopted a pose of moral superiority, aided and abetted by the press: “If it saves just one life,” Cuomo notoriously said, damaging and, in many cases, destroying the lives of millions of New Yorkers was worth it. But facts are inexorable, and Cuomo has now changed his tune. In a press conference today, he urged universal forgiveness: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Sunday addressed the state’s early response to the coronavirus outbreak and said “nobody” should be prosecuted for the those who died, noting that “older people” were most vulnerable. The governor has been criticized for a decision in March, which has since been reversed, to send patients back to nursing homes after they tested positive for COVID-19. More than 4,800 people died from COVID-19 in nursing homes in the state between March 1 and May 1, according to a tally released by the Cuomo administration on May 1. Cuomo has called nursing homes a “feeding frenzy” for the coronavirus. “Despite whatever you do, because with all our progress as a society, we can’t keep everyone alive,” Cuomo said. Huh. Interesting that Andy “If it saves one life” Cuomo should finally figure that out. More at the link....... 2
