Nearly 19 percent of New York City s 4,000 EMS workers were out sick on Saturday as those who were left on the job had to deal with a surge in calls as the Omicron variant spreads.
The system, NYC Health + Hospital, asked FEMA in October 2020 for compensation of $864 million to cover the costs of the first wave but FEMA only agreed to $260 million at first.

A 33-year-old man was shot inside of a West 3rd Street business in Mount Vernon on Monday, May 31 before managing to flee the area on foot as he sought assistance from other parties in the area for treatment of gunshot wounds.
After the victim fled, the shooter, later identified as Bronx resident Santano Williams, age 42, exited the business and began walking away, at which point he was confronted by Eastchester resident Gladstone Dankin, age 33.
According to police, Williams was confronted by Dankin and the two exchanged gunfire in the street. Neither was struck by the bullets and both fled the area on foot.
