Here we go! Despotic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has declared a state of emergency ahead of potential COVID-19 spikes this winter due to the already-circulating Delta and newly-identified Omicron variants of coronavirus.
It raises alarm bells for our freedoms.
The declaration, which goes into effect on Dec. 3, will allow the state to acquire pandemic-fighting supplies, increase hospital capacity and fight potential staffing shortages. It would also allow the state Health Department to limit non-essential and non-urgent procedures at hospitals.
“We continue to see warning signs of spikes this upcoming winter, and while the new Omicron variant has yet to be detected in New York State, it’s coming,” Hochul said.
Long Island Hospital won’t cancel any elective surgeries. They have no intention of doing it.
The move comes hours after the governor said her office was closely monitoring the new variant, which was first sequenced in South Africa earlier this week.
In her release Friday, Hochul again urged New Yorkers to get the jab, noting that just under 10 percent of adults in the state hadn’t gotten at least one shot.
“The vaccine remains one of our greatest weapons in fighting the pandemic, and I encourage every New Yorker to get vaccinated and get the booster if you’re fully vaccinated,” she said.

It’s possible that the “Shots” have so focused immune systems on the original SARS-COV-2 virus that they may have rendered many people’s immunity systems less functional against variants. This is what happens when you let Lab Rat Bureaucrats and Politicians control medicine.
All we have been doing for the 12 months with a Leaky “shot” is supercharging variant development like we did with over prescribing antibiotics in the past. It’s amazing how the so called smart people never learn from their mistakes.
The problem isn’t SARS-Cov-2 and it’s variants; it’s Big Blue Cities. Where was the virus the worse? In high density population centers, i.e. the Big Blue Cities. What we really need is a Density Tax. We need to tax people living in areas where the population density is over 1,000 per square mile. The Tax needs to be 1% of income for every 1,000 people per square mile above 1,000 per square mile. That would make the average tax in NYC over 25%. In Miami, it would be 12%, in LA it would be 7%, in SF it would be 18%, and in Chicago it would be 11%. In a place like Jacksonville, Florida it would be 0.25%, in Dallas maybe 3% and even in Mesa, Arizona the tax would only be 3%. I firmly believe that High population density makes people stupid and in many cases insane or Large Cities just attract the stupid and insane. I suspected the Founding Fathers knew this so they crated the Senate to try and keep Mob Rule under control. All Large Big Blue Cities have high crime and high poverty, so it makes sense not to have Extremely Large Population Dense Cities. A density tax makes sense because when there is a real catastrophe the cost of recovery is far higher in large population centers. Basically, Big Blue Cities are continually in a state of emergency. In America, over 80% of the population lives on only 3% of the land in the US. The only reason for this is the Federal Government centralizes services in Big Blue Cities and there is no reason for this in today’s modern world.
If Covid doesn’t kill us, the left will try and scare us to death!
Have you ever heard the term, “Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.”? While I’m not defending Cuomo and am glad for any punishment he receives, those in NY who wished to get rid of him got their wish but power mad tyrant Kathy Hochul replaced him. I want Puppet Biden gone as do most of America but at the moment communist Harris will replace him.
According to the latest findings, the O variant was contracted by 4 vaccinated people in Africa.
The South African medical community is outraged by the fear mongering by world leaders and WHO that this new variant is deadlier and more transmittal than other variants, based on their research, it’s not.
