If you were wondering why Puerto Plata was trending on @twitter. This is today in #PuertoPlata. The mayor of that city in flagrant violation of social distancing rules welcomed a man carrying a cross who believes that by placing said cross in the sea that it will end the #coronavirus. This is SO Sad.

Not All Superheroes Wear Capes
S/O to Dr. Craig Spencer & @coed.studios for this incredibly moving homage to our healthcare heroes on the frontlines.
#HealthcareHeroes #HealthcareWorkers
Here we go again. It is more than despicable that these right wing crazies keep invoking Rosa Parks for their reckless endangerment of other people. This is nauseating.
This is Houston city council member Michael Kubosh explaining why he is at a restaurant open for dine-in service in flagrant violation of the Harris County's stay-at-home order:
.
"Sometimes civil disobedience is required to move things forward, and so that's why we remember Rosa Parks."
If you still support this clown you are just as bad as him. It boggles the mind how far this country had fallen in the first term of Donald Trump. We have over 50,000 deaths, more than every other country due to #COVID. Over 26 millions folks unemployed.

We Will Survive & Vote That Monster Out of Office
By Led Black
Yesterday I received a call from my mother to inform me that a close family member had succumbed to the novel coronavirus. This woman that had been my mother’s confidante for more than 50 years became one of the 540 people that died in NYC yesterday. It is infinitely sad that a person that had so much life still left in her had to die alone in a hospital but beyond that it is straight foul. She did not have to die. Her death and the deaths of so many people are the fault of Donald Trump. Tyrant Trump has their blood on his hands.
S/O @dana.meryl.berger for sharing this awesome video of her grandmother speaking straight facts.

Uptown Love in the Time of Coronavirus: Clap Because You Care
By @led_black
I think I speak for many in this neighborhood and throughout this great city, when I say that the 7 pm clapping and noise-making sessions for our courageous healthcare heroes on the frontlines is the highlight of the day, every day. This simple act of stopping whatever you are doing and showing appreciation for those real-life superheroes provides a comfort and solace that is hard to describe. We owe them a debt that we can never repay. The same can be said of all the “essential” workers who keep this society running and who do not have the privilege of working from home.
The timing of the daily appreciation manifestations could not be any better as they usually start after the daily Trump propaganda briefings are over. Tyrant Trump has turned what is supposed to be a medium for crucial information on the nation’s fight against the novel coronavirus into a political rally whose primary goal is the reelection of Donald Trump. Let me state this as plainly as I can, America will not survive a second term of Donald trump.
Our lives have changed profoundly. We no longer venture outside except for necessities. The once lively Alto Manhattan is eerily and uncharacteristically quiet. When you do go out you can see the fear and despair in the eyes of your fellow New Yorkers. The gnawing uncertainty of what tomorrow will bring and the inability to meaningfully interact with one another is testing our collective sanity.
And then at 7 pm, at least for a spell, we are not alone. We are united and the clouds over this city briefly part and we can see a brighter day on the horizon. The eruption of joy and togetherness provide the sustenance we all need to survive the pandemic. We are truly all in this together.
Great nations need exceptional leadership in times of crisis. We don’t have that at the federal level where it is so badly needed. The American Experiment is in trouble. This is an existential

I went to get milk last night and this happened...lots of people around NYC have been yelling out their windows or clapping at 7pm for frontline workers, this guy/gyal in my neighborhood took it a step further to show their appreciation. Using big speakers they performed a little concert for everyone on the block. Socially distanced and responsible you can see one person after another stop in their tracks to listen observe or record. Its was a pretty special moment for those of us who have been stuck inside for over a month already, and a great indicator of what makes New York such a special city.

🤬🤬🤬 I’m so angry.
First off, thousands of @NYPD officers have the coronavirus and are spreading it all over the city.
Secondly, they continue to harass people and put their hands all over the. and send them to Rikers where they have a breakout and social distancing is impossible.
I just spoke to the brave woman who filmed this, @org_taee. She’s an essential worker as was everybody else who was forced to be there. Here’s what she said:
“We were all standing on the platform waiting for the downtown 4Train to come due to MTA cutting the amount of trains that were running. So the police started telling everyone to spread out which was impossible so this gentleman decided to be our voice and tell them we couldn’t spread out because the platform was crowded. So he said to the police officers if you think we should spread out then you guys spread out and that’s when all the police rushed to him and tried to arrest him all because he was stating the truth we had nowhere to move, we still had to board a packed train, so social distancing wouldn’t even mean anything at that moment honestly. We were all just trying to get to work.”

Our Long National Nightmare Continues
This imbecile recently said, “I want to come way under the models. The professionals did the models. I was never involved in a model. But—at least this kind of a model.” That this amoral sociopath had the unmitigated gall to inject a classless remark about women during a “press conference” about the pestilence that is consuming the planet speaks volumes about the type of monster we are dealing with. If you still support Trump at this point, you are a monster too. Sorry but we can longer afford to mince words about our situation. We are days away from feeling the full brunt of this pandemic and this moron doesn’t have the decency to stick to the script and comfort a nation that is suffering needlessly because of his colossal ineptitude.

“I’ve never felt so ... physically and emotionally burdened in my life.”
This is what it’s like to be a doctor at the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States. Dr. Kamini Doobay is an ER doctor at the NYU Hospital in New York, the hardest-hit state in the country with at least 827 deaths and more than 53,000 confirmed cases.
Dr. Doobay says people of color are especially vulnerable to COVID-19, as the “already segregated” U.S. healthcare system “often close[s] the door on this group of people even before COVID.” She called on authorities and healthcare leaders to make sure people of color are not neglected in the fight against the new coronavirus.

UNITED through LOVE ❤️. Thank you Governor Cuomo @nygovcuomo for your love, leadership and being THE PRESIDENT we need right now. Everyone is looking to you for your unwavering guidance and you haven’t faltered. You’re right, we are strong and love will carry us through.
_
Governor Cuomo just issued an executive order requiring all hospitals in NY, both public and private, to allow women to birth with the support of their partners. All hospitals will need to comply with the latest health guidance by the NY DOH. This past week NY Presbyterian and Mt Sinai made the decision to ban labor support people from the delivery room, that included both partners and doulas. With this new order, birthing people will not have to endure labor alone.
_
Thank you for listening to your constituents and protecting the safety and experience of childbirth in NY hospitals by allowing partners to be present for hospital births.
_
Hospitals need more Personal Protective Equipment for their staff so they remain safe. All hospitals have a screening protocol in place for anyone entering and that goes for the the L&D unit as well. There are strict rules in place that must be followed to protect everyone on the unit. We are thankful to everyone working in our healthcare system and pray for their continued safety while they serve on the front lines.

We would be remiss if we did not send our heartfelt thanks to Governor Cuomo for providing such honest, humane and competent leadership in these dark days. In contrast to the moronic behavior of Tyrant Trump, Cuomo has provided much needed comfort and coherence to a nation in the throes of the coronavirus.
This quote from him, puts it best: “Realize the timeframe we’re expecting, make peace with it and find a way to help each other through this situation because it’s hard for everyone. And the goal for me – socially distanced but spiritually connected. How do you achieve socially distanced but spiritually connected?” Amen

NYPD Out Here Towing Cars In A Pandemic
By @led_black
This occurred this morning at 10 am on Cabrini BLVD near the entrance to Fort Tryon Park. While the car was not the regulation 15ft away from a hydrant it was far enough that it was not necessary to tow. Taking someone’s car during these perilous times is unconscionable.
Some poor soul, when they find out their car was towed, will have to shell out a few hundreds bucks just to get it back. This is tough in regular times but during a pandemic.
@nycmayor this is simply not right.

After the first case of covid-19, the disease caused by the new strain of coronavirus, was announced in the United States, reports of further infections trickled in slowly. Two months later, that trickle has turned into a steady current. This so-called exponential curve has experts worried. If the number of cases were to continue to double every three days, there would be about a hundred million cases in the United States by May. That is math, not prophecy. The spread can be slowed, public health professionals say, if people practice “social distancing” by avoiding public spaces and generally limiting their movement. Still, without any measures to slow it down, covid-19 will continue to spread exponentially for months. By creating simple simulations, we can see how to slow it down. Go to the link in our bio to see more simulations. (Video by Harry Stevens/The Washington Post)
