Maybe you could you just hire @MaraGay?

"Surge in cases for a few weeks...The answer is vaccination" - I would love to see the evidence for this projection
Also, you cannot vaccinate your way out of a surge; see @celinegounder

"NYC continues to lead the way in this country in terms of huge #s vaccinated"
He is now providing 1 dose #s again
1 dose provides 30% protection against severe disease w Delta; is there anyone who thinks 1 dose is a big help for Omicron?

.@katie_honan @emmagf Per his mandates:
* ask why they didn't enforce staff mandate on Nov 18
* ask for specific #s re what # & percent of NYC school staff have 2+ doses *confirmed and uploaded*

@katie_honan @emmagf 112 city run sites for 8+ million people
Do the math (& someone correct me if I'm wrong):
if open even 10 hours/day (high estimate)
1,120 hours of testing available per day
67,200 min
5 min per test (major hopium here)
13,440 can be tested per day
Again, check my #s

Q&A Andrew, NBC
"probs w long lines for testing- asking about scaling down by 20 sites. Why was decision made given that even without Omicron there was going to be a surge in testing demand"

"we did not expect omicron to move quite this quickly", @NYCMayor
Can someone ask which agency, and who, is doing these projections?
And ask for copies of those estimates?

Andrew NBC on omicron mild - Is conclusion premature?
@NYCMayor "absolutely right to say it's preliminary... we are seeing certainly right now in our hospitals, much better outcomes than we would have feared"
Again, hospitals lagging indicator; this is irresponsible.

Now @NYCMayor talking about @TheGarden Billy Joel concert: REALLY?
Not even required to have 2 shots to be at concert (not until 12/27, I think) - how is this safe???
@billyjoel, WHY are still you doing this concert?

"we immediately beefed up the situation room"
Translation: we immediately beefed up with The Situation's abs video?
"I really want to emphasize how safe the schools are," @NYCMayor
If you need to double SR staff, maybe you should be asking hard Q's re why so many cases?

.@NYCHealthCommr - trying to say all transmission is community, not in schools
This is what we are being asked to believe:
Covid spreads when people share indoor air *except in schools* where Covid Cancelling Fairies kiss and hug the virus out of the air

.@aeis17 another great q about where these "couple of tough weeks" estimate is coming from
Amanda- take a look at Europe numbers. hard to square his A with what's happening there
To mayor, "your laymen's analysis deserves a medical degree" - yes, Mitchell Katz just said that

In sum, I expect public servants to be
💡competent
💡honest
💡willing to admit & take responsibility for mistakes
💡focus on how they can improve public services, not brag about how they are the "gold standard"
Failing on all 4 dimensions
