He said he woke up and the indicators were strong for another day.
"But based on the really good indicators we've seen today, and for days and days before that, I'm very comfortable now saying we will start Phase 2 on Monday"
"Get on your mark, get set, cuz here we go -- on Monday, we'll be ready to take a big step forward for our city."
For those keeping track: Mayor said yesterday he was being cautious and it wasn't Monday, then @NYGovCuomo said it was Monday.
"I don't know if it was my police gut feeling" @NYCMayor says on Fox 5 of the Columbia protests being "different"
"It was materialized that there were outside agitators," he continues, but neither he nor the NYPD have been able to provide details.
"We have identified some"
The mayor has moved on from saying "outside agitators" infiltrated Columbia's protests to saying there could be a bad professor out there "radicalizing" students.
Asked about getting migrants to work, @NYCMayor again reiterates that the city needs lifeguards, which is true, but him repeating it shows he has no idea how his own @NYCParks certifies and trains lifeguards.
In short, it's too late to become a summer lifeguard.
Waiting with at least 100 other members of the media for presser to update on mass shouting at BK subway station. @NYCMayor is on day 3 of COVID quarantine, and Dep Mayor Lorraine Grillo is here. We are waiting on @GovKathyHochul whose lt gov turned himself into police today
First Dep Mayor Lorraine Grillo: says she’s been speaking with @NBCNewYork on the phone since this happened to assist law enforcement
.@NYPDPC: this is not being investigated as an act of terrorism, and there are no life-threatening injuries.
At 8:24 am a man on Manhattan bound N put on a gas mask and green construction vest, began shooting as train entered 36th St
Last night's storm was complicated in that climate change is making these events stronger and more frequent -- but there is plenty of basic governmental failure that makes things worse.
So we have @NYCMayor and others deferring only to climate change and not their own failings
On 183rd St. in Queens, a mother and son died when rushing water flooded their basement apartment. The foundation collapsed, making it harder for FDNY to rescue them, officials said.
Jennifer Mooklal lives across the street and said her home has flooded her entire life.
“For politicians and the governor to say that it’s global warming, it’s not global warming,” she said. “It’s a sewer issue that they don’t want to acknowledge.”
.@NYCMayor kicks things off a little differently -- he's starting with the daily indicators and giving the 7-day rolling average of Covid-19 positivity rate
First question for @NYCMayor on @InsideCityHall is about the uptick in Covid-19 cases in certain neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens. MAyor says there will be "a lot of close work with community organizations" to get people wearing masks, socially-distanced
.@NYCMayor says he spoke with community leaders in one neighborhood late Saturday, who he said were committed to getting more compliance
.@errollouis says there are 8 Zip codes in the city that are over the 3% threshold to close pubblic schools.
Mayor says it's 3% on a 7-day rolling standard that the city set as a standard. The city overall is 1.9% -- higher than it's been in the last weeks.
