New York City looks to reimpose COVID-19 lock down orders

After letting his subjects have a little perceived freedom over the Summer Mayor Bill de Blasio wants to reimpose the draconian COVID-19 lock down orders which ground New York City to a halt for most of the year. Here is more:

New York City’s mayor said Sunday that he has asked the state for permission to close schools and reinstate restrictions on nonessential businesses in several neighborhoods because of a resurgence of the coronavirus.

The action, if approved, would mark a disheartening retreat for a city that enjoyed a summer with less spread of the virus than most other parts of the country, and had only recently celebrated the return of students citywide to in-person learning in classrooms.

Shutdowns would happen starting Wednesday in nine zip codes in the city, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.

About 100 public schools and 200 private schools would have to close. Indoor dining, which just resumed a few days ago, would be suspended. Gyms would also close.

These governors, and in this case this mayor, are not willingly going to give back this power to shut down businesses and schools, this power to steal a person’s job and livelihood, this power to restrict people’s movements and right to worship without a fight. They have grown addicted to this power and it is going to take people to stand up and say enough is enough or this is going to continue.
