NYC Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot Mocked Coronavirus Fears in February — Today NYC Leads Nation in Most Cases and Most Deaths

34

NYC government is a failure. It’s one thing on auto pilot, it’s another when the city is challenged. And this is a serious challenge. The low ICU bed count is a result of poor planning and wasted public funds on nonsensical PC projects. They’ll try to blame Trump but NY is very badly managed.

NYC Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot Mocked Coronavirus Fears in February — Today NYC Leads Nation in Most Cases and Most Deaths

By Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit,  March 23, 2020:

This didn’t age well… at all.

New York City Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot mocked the fears of coronavirus and told New Yorkers to attend the annual Lunar New Year Parade in Chinatown back in February.

That was back on February 9, when the coronavirus was already ravaging Hubei Province in China.

The was AFTER President Trump banned air travel from China.

Yet this New York City official was mocking the threat facing her city!

France hijacks Chinese virus supplies going to the UK and now ….

Macron’s France SEIZES Lorries Carrying 130,000 Masks to British Hospitals
JACK MONTGOMERY21 Mar 2020

The move followed hot on the heels of French border guards seizing another heavy goods vehicle carrying hand sanitiser to Britain the day before. The incidents triggered a diplomatic spat between the two countries as Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) struggles against the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

Italy Seizes Thousands of Respirators Bound for Greece
in Coronavirus Fight

CHRIS TOMLINSON 25 Mar 2020

Italian authorities have seized a shipment of 1,840 manual respirators and other supplies in the port of Ancona that was heading for Greece in order to help fight the ongoing Wuhan coronavirus outbreak.

The seizures were carried out by the Guardia di Finanza (GdF), a police division under the authority of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, under a prohibition for companies to sell medical devices overseas during the coronavirus crisis.

it is not coming, it has already arrived in L.A.and Frisco among other metropolises governed by LibTard Commiecrtats. Can we ban LibTards as public health menaces? Maybe if we encourage all of them to hug a Chinaman the LibTard menace will self-correct in a Darwinian thinning of the moronic.

Typical Liberal idiot, they downplay serious threats and over-exaggerate minor issues. You’ll get the same result with Islam, today they treat it like there’s only a few bad apples, but in 20-30 years from now, NY will look like the Gaza Strip or Libya.

And in fairness she wasn’t alone, many did underestimate how contagious Covid was. However they should’ve watched the madness going on China and Italy to realize if we didn’t get a handle on it fast, it’ll happen to other places as well. Every single day matters, doing nothing would lead to over a billion infected in 60 days.

One reason Trump holds the USA together than spending all on complete shut does as we would be playing into China’s hands with turmoil in USA as the economy collapses.

NY Gov Cuomo is holding his ‘briefings” every day, berating the Fed Govt for the lack of supplies in his state. He shouldn’t. He’s the governor, it’s up to him to ensure his state is ready for any emergency. DiBlasio is doing the same thing; two whiney babies.

Cuomo will be the candidate for the Dems. They’ll find a way to get rid of BIden. Many people are saying how “presidential” Cuomo is..

Dont care who you are, dont care about american politics. Stumbled across your post… All i saw from Australia looking at the US 1 month ago was POTUS downplaying threat of Corona Virus. We all forsaw what would happen to your country and people. Blind freddy would’ve seen it coming. The reality is that Trump cares more about the US economy more than lifes. Say what you want, thats the truth. Americans downplayed what was a global threat , deliberately. Your government (both parties) have failed to protect the people.

Baloney. Chances are good that people have been carrying this virus for many months before there was even a name for it. We can’t just shut down our economy for 6 months or longer. A better course of action would be to isolate those most at risk.
