Pledging to reopen fully July 1, the strangely unimposing six-foot-five NYC mayor, Bill de Blasio, declared this “the summer of New York” at a news conference Thursday.
“We’re all going to get to enjoy the city again, and people are going to flock here from all over the country to be a part of this amazing moment,” said de Blasio.
From all over the country? Sounds like a plan. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? Now, don’t misunderstand me. I am as much for reopening as anyone; having both been infected by Covid-19 and vaccinated, I am a walking antibody—for certain strains, anyway. We should open here in New York and enjoy the summer; it will not be long before another strain starts to spread and brings all the fun, albeit temporarily, to a halt. Particularly if the unvaccinated continue to act moronically.
