This is what a smart reaction to increases in the virus look like, or they could just ignore the hotspots and wait for the death toll to increase. I know, I know, lets just rely on people taking personal responsibility, get big gubermint put of the picture an all will be fine.
Yeah, it's genius. There's no way anyone can cross zip codes for nightlife or shopping.
For reference, my office building has it's own zip code.
So the mayor will force more people to go without making a living. More business owners to lose their life's work. I trust he has at least forgone his paycheck and that of any of his staff during these "lockdowns".
Same happened in largely Hasidic Lakewood, NJ - after the recent high holy days were celebrated.
Murphy has been more concerned with telling people who point out the fact that these folks live by their own rules & endanger others in the neighboring towns (but has called other groups knuckle-heads) is anti-semitism. For the same reason you stated - Hasidic population in Lakewood votes as a block. They voted for him in the last election & he wants them to vote for him again.
The folks who live in Lakewood and the surrounding towns in Ocean County are not happy.
The area around Kiras Joel (spelling is off I know it) is having the same issue right now as well...I still have friends that live the next town over..... they ignore building codes, safety requirements, stiff businesses that are non Hasidic (most now require cash upfront when dealing with this group) and wont pay taxes!

These zip codes are hot spots, although residents can cross borders there is likely some reckless behavior going on in those areas. The other option is to do nothing and just let the virus increase.

Killing the economy, keeping people from gyms, socialization, quarantining the healthy. Its a recipe for disaster.
Will it be fine without violent politicians wielding destructive power? Yes. How has it gone with other respiratory illnesses over the centuries?
But conservatives told us that New York had already achieved herd immunity.
