Mayor Bill de Blasio gave a shout out to New Yorkers Friday night, saying, “We asked them to do something unimaginable” – social distancing in the most crowed place in the country. The Mayor appeared on HBO’s virtually reconstituted Real Time with Bill Maher just as things in the Big Apple – the epicenter of the nation’s coronavirus pandemic – were looking a teeny bit brighter.
“Hospitalizations … are growing less. The use of ventilators was sky high. Now it’s lower,” he told Maher. “We are still seeing more cases each day than the day before. But “folks in this city did something mentally and logistically tough … and that’s why our health care leadership believes some of these numbers are slowing down.”
