COVID positivity rates in parts of New York City are back over 20% as the 5th wave of the pandemic spreads throughout the state, driven by a highly contagious new subvariant.
The rolling seven-day positivity rate in Long Island City now stands at 21.3%, according to the latest data posted by the city. Large swaths of Queens near or top 15% as well, along with Manhattan neighborhoods like the Financial District and Lincoln Square.
Citywide, the transmission rate has risen to levels last seen in late January, up almost 20% in a week and almost 90% in a month.
It's endemic and NEVER going away. I don't care what blue areas want to do, I don't live in one. I wish them the best. Just don't force your mandates on me and we are fine.
I think it is a lot more complicated. Besides, per the article, "...Dr. Ashwin Vasan told CNN all options could be on the table -- including the return of a mask mandate -- if things continue getting worse..." <emphasis mine> That means, there is no mask mandate currently.
Further, "...as more people get infected, fewer people are ending up in the hospital. Hospitalization rates in the city have dropped in recent days and are now back to where they were in early April.
As is typical now, hospitalization rates are essentially flat among the vaccinated (boosted or not), while soaring among the unvaccinated...." <emphsis mine>

Bottom line, get vaccinated--it's your best bet.
If only they mandate masks, again, they can prevent COVID from spreading!
You libs haven’t learned a single thing in 2 years.

They will move or try to move to your state next. It's not like Leftist's can control themselves
Isn't most of the people in NYC are already vaccinated against covid?
Well, their beloved Governor Cuomo offed enough of them when he was forcing infected people into nursing homes you would think they would learn their leadership was incompetent into controlling anything.
They can shove the covid up the whazoo.
I’m done with it. I will not acknowledge anything covid related.
Just totally done and over this crap.
