Now, that's a real kicker. Besides Western New York is great and has a storied history and should get monies.
Sorry, but I don't agree.....

Health experts believe De Blasio and Cuomo's actions
Created the virus problems in NY. They should have cancelled parades, concerts, all big public events in February once the first cases appeared. Instead they encouraged residents in March to ignore the warnings in other states. Similarly in New Orleans experts
Say Mardi Gras should have been cancelled, but it wasnt.
Now New Orleans has a problem like New York.

Even today subways are still not practicing social distancing in NYC?

Good night.
I read them and he's making sense. You're making your point as well but your position is deeply flawed.

Even though we are in a crisis. Those that be in media, academia and journalism want to bring back identity issues to the forefront prior to coronavirus outbreak in America. I feel sorry for anyone doing black, indigenous LGBT or women's issues during a major crisis like this.

With that said. Controversy starting to boil over due to a evangelical Christian organization who built a field hospital in Central Park. The head of the organization made LGBT and anti Islamic remarks or what we call now as hate speech in the past. City council will monitor if this organization will turn away LGBT covid patients, but I highly doubt the organization will turn people away due to orientation in a time of great need.

With that said. I know their is a time to be woke, and a time not to be woke. It is hard for woke people to find forgiveness and even worse to forgive when times are necessary such as this.

Great idea! I'm putting him on ignore as well. It's like some troll virus infected him in Baltimore or the Russian troll farm and it wants to infect more people so he comes here to spread his verbal diarrhea.

I understand people's concern about this organization. I figure the city did some math and figured that potentially saving hundreds of New Yorkers from death made it worth it to look the other way on this organization's prejudice.
