To: Its All Over Except ...
Oxiris Barbot has been behind the curve the whole way down - 4 weeks ago she was telling New Yorkers thatthis wouldn't disrupt their lives, that the virus couldn't live outside a host for more than a few minutes, here's a quote:

"This is not transmitted like measles," said New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot. "This is totally different."

Unlike measles, a person can't contract coronavirus through casual, short-term exposure, according to Barbot.

"If someone is ill" with COVID-19, exposing others requires "prolonged exposure to their secretions," or droplets, from the infected patient, Barbot said.

Wait for Maggie Halberman to pick up on some of these quotes.

But where has Cuomo been on what they said?

The CDC botched things up badly, the WHO gave a doomsday scenario that destroyed markets and overplayed things with “garbage in, garbage out” projections, when it seems that Dem Birx is more correct than others that this isn’t all the way over to one side as a doomsday scenario, but neither should we go all the way over to the other side and throw caution to the wind.

In NYC, your filling an ethnic quotient (black, woman, Hispanic, gay...) is the only thing that's important--not your qualifications. That's how you get idiots like this in positions way over their head. According to Wiki, "...she became the first Latina to head the city’s Health Department..." BINGO!
