N.Y. Gov Declares State of Emergency Over New China Flu Variant, Even Though No Cases Yet in New York
 [PJMEDIA] Just in time for Christmas! New York’s governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency for the Empire State after the news that the Omicron variant appeared in South Africa, even though there are no cases of it reported in New York State.The first line of Hochul’s blurb regarding her state-of-emergency declaration reads, "Governor Kathy Hochul today announced urgent action to boost hospital capacity and address staffing shortages ahead of potential spikes in COVID-19 cases this upcoming winter." Maybe firing all those heroes filthy, unvaccinated healthcare workers two months ago wasn’t such a good idea. In fact, it was downright idiotic. It makes me wonder if she got her COVID acumen from reading Cuomo’s "COVID leadership" book. Or perhaps she just wants to beat Cuomo’s serial-killer toll of 15,000 dead New Yorkers. Hochul seems a bit too eager to flex her totalitarian muscle. If there are no Omicron cases, why worry? In her blurb, she claims that "It’s coming" and mentions "warning signs" of COVID spikes. New York is currently averaging 27 China flu deaths per day. Florida is averaging zero. Again, lockdowns don’t work. Hochul’s declaration means that the Department of Health will have the authority to limit the number of non-essential health-related procedures in hospitals with limited bed capacity, which is 10% or less. Grandma’s new hip is going to have to wait. Hochul claims that the order will also expand hospital capacity rates and allow New York to acquire anti-COVID supplies faster. The state of emergency will begin Dec. 3, 2021, and will last thru Jan. 15, 2022, when it will be re-assessed. Hochul’s blurb goes on to tout mask mandates and vaccinations for kids. It pushes people to get fully vaccinated and then get the booster (even though Israel found out that 50% of their new COVID cases were people who were fully vaccinated). It also claims that her administration is...ready...this is hilarious...looking to "combat vaccine misinformation campaigns." Seriously, that’s part of the blurb.
