that the cluster boundaries were driven entirely by data. However, he acknowledged that some were critical of his decision.
Nine ZIP codes have seen test positivity levels rise above 3% on a seven day average, de Blasio said. The city is also watching a dozen other ZIP codes that are nearing that number, too. The mayor proposed shutdowns based on those ZIP codes, but Cuomo instead issued the orders on a tiered cluster system. The closer to the center of the cluster, the tougher the restrictions.
In response to Cuomo's order, four Orthodox lawmakers from Brooklyn — state Sen. Simcha Felder, Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein and New York City Council Members Chaim Deutsch and Kalman Yeger — wrote a letter Tuesday to the governor accusing him of a"duplicitous bait and switch" by clamping down harder on houses of worship than they said they anticipated.
The restrictions mark the first rollback in the reopening of New York City, once the epicenter of the virus and later heralded for its response in stamping it out. The new measures also come after the city had just reached two major milestones in reopening: the return of indoor dining and the start of a new school year with students present for in-person classes several days a week.
Horrible timing for something like this. This is an L for Cuomo, could’ve been handled much smarter than this. All this does is give fuel for the trumpians
Are there saying they are above the law and more important than the rest of us. Religion was invented to control people. We need to tax religion and stop the insanity.
Man was created alone to teach you that whoever kills one life kills the world entire, and whoever saves one life saves the world entire.
Congrats, NYPD, for not escalating the situation.
But somehow Cuomo blames all this on Trump

Members of Orthodox Jewish community protest in Brooklyn after new Covid-19 restrictionsMembers of the Orthodox Jewish community protested and set items on fire in Brooklyn, in New York City, hours after the state announced strict new coronavirus-related restrictions. Restrictions were put in place just before a major Jewish holiday. Better than businesses. Cuomo said last month that he will only close schools if the infection rate is above 9% now suddenly the “red zone“ is above 3%... Just changes his mind whenever he wants, just like when he was OK when tens of thousands protested for weeks, at a time when NY had 100 deaths a day
