COVID and the Rest of the Country
In his COVID-19 briefing on Monday, Governor Andrew Cuomo reported that the rate of COVID-19 infections is now increasing in thirty-nine states and the District of Columbia.
Cuomo also announced a new requirement for people arriving by plane in New York--not just New York City but any airport in the state--from any one of the high risk states. (There are now nineteen.) This new requirement was inspired by the asymptomic passengers who landed at the Albany airport from Georgia and tested positive for COVID-19 four days later.
Every passenger arriving at any airport in New York from one of the high risk states must complete a form indicating where they came from and where they are going. Failure to submit the form will result in a $2,000 fine and mandatory quarantine.

The virus will continue to be spread locally if people don't learn the proper way to wear the mask effectively. Yesterday, I saw a man at the post office standing at a desk filing out an envelope. He was not wearing a mask. When he was done writing, he turned towards me and put on a mask. Why the hell didn't he wear it the entire time he was in the post office??
ReplyDeleteToday, I was at Herrington's hardware store. Right next to me in line was a man with his nose sticking out above the mask.
The situation will deteriorate in Hudson if people don't get their act together.
I hear you. Can't be sure but folks' half hearted compliance is a message of not believing how serious it is. They're in NY, so they have to bring the mask around everywhere. To be sure there are some who just don't understand how to wear one effectively. What troubles me most, who's in charge to remind them to wear it. The store staff, employers, family? Certainly not another hapless customer who can get treated nastily. The is a long slog, we've got to do better.
