Here we go again.
Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order Friday to postpone elective hospital surgeries — something that hasn’t been done since the worst of the initial coronavirus outbreak last year.
Hochul said she made the move to deal with staffing shortages and boost bed capacity amid an anticipated “spike” in new cases and the emergence of the new Omicron variant in South Africa. The strain is named after a letter of the Greek alphabet.
“We’ve taken extraordinary action to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and combat this pandemic. However, 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.
“In preparation, I am announcing urgent steps today to expand hospital capacity and help ensure our hospital systems can tackle any challenges posed by the pandemic as we head into the winter months. 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.”
The edict curbing non-essential surgeries will kick in for hospitals with a limited capacity — defined as at or below 10 percent of available staffed bed capacity.
The new protocols will take effect on Friday, Dec. 3, and will be re-evaluated based on the latest COVID-19 data on Jan. 15.
Maybe Kath can ask Uncle Joe to send another battleship hospital to the Intrepid dock. Maybe we'll use it this time.

Book deal too ?
I'll Go to Florida or the great state of Texas for medical treatment !
Let's Go Brandon
Oh Wilbur Ms Ed is at it again !
Just a coverup for hospitals not having sufficient staff, thanks to Herr Hochul's orders banning the dirty unvaxed.
Typical Democrat politics: (1) create a problem via stupid policies (2) exploit the fallout of your stupid policy to implement more stupid policies. Repeat.
@"I'll Go to Florida or the great state of Texas for medical treatment !"
Please stay there. Oh, and Fuck Donald Trump Too!
Moderate Kathy lolz
Democrats have forced hospitals to fire so many health care professionals for refusing the Vaxx that staff shortages at all NYC hositals are critical.
>>>I'll Go to Florida or the great state of Texas for medical treatment<<<
I don't know about Texas but sure not Florida.
People think NYC is bad ?
Florida's climate attracts drug addicts, homeless, poor and problem then anywhere in this country including California.
--And from what I hear Florida wont give you Medicaid unless you own a home and are unemployed. If you die or get sick Medicaid recovery then takes the house.
Ask most bummy people where they are going when moving or getting evicted, near every time "Florida" The stupid always thing the grass is greener.
Florida is good for crooks and rich people with assets hidden in IRAs and trusts.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — New York State Assemblyman Patrick Burke (D-Buffalo) is proposing legislation that would give health insurance companies the option to deny coverage for any COVID-related treatments.
"I know we're all tired of this pandemic and it's largely being perpetuated by variants of COVID that keep sprouting up and they're mostly sprouting up in unvaccinated populations," said Assemblyman Burke.
I'm introducing a bill that allows insurance providers to deny coverage for Covid related treatment to those who refuse to be vaccinated. Do your part or pay your own way. Freedom isn't free.

Practicing medicine without a license and qualifications Bill Gates?
That's also a crime you sicko.
My wife bacame permanently disabled in April 2020 because they wouldn't take her in the emergency room with symptoms of a stroke, because they were only taking COVID patients.
She's such an idiot. Why don't you just halt all international travel again and close the borders again instead? I love how the dumbocrats love to welcome illegals but wouldn't even let us go to a restaurant for only 2 hours to eat. Oh and biden restricted travel from parts of africa....remember when trump tried to restrict travel from China and he was called a "racist" and "xenophobic" by the idiot media? What a bunch of hypocrites these dumbocrats are.
Don't forget the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax for 4+ years for the brainwashed sheeple !
"She's such an idiot" Yes but the Sheeple like it in NY !
Communist PoS.
The CDC says this variant is not even in the US yet, She is using the state of emergency to take away our rights! Plus there is no tests for any of the variants. How do we know if we have it? Are they lying to take away our rights?
Dagorigger superspreaders are incompetent in any sentient language or activity, be they Italian, Irish, Polish or Hispanic, because they got their upper instead of lower brain trimmed at birth. That's why we nned more Asians, they can read. Superspreaders complaine "I don't like to READ".
@Superspreaders complaine "I don't like to READ".@
Racist pig apparently "YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE".
TA commie.
Bad news Governor, a Federal judge just blocked the vaccine mandate for health care workers NATIONWIDE.
Let me quote the judge
“If the executive branch is allowed to usurp the power of the legislative branch to make laws, two of the three powers conferred by our Constitution would be in the same hands,” Doughty wrote. “If human nature and history teach anything, it is that civil liberties face grave risks when governments proclaim indefinite states of emergency.”
That is exactly right. Now think about this a bit.
While you at it Merry Christmas and is called a Christmas tree not a holiday tree.
Holiday tree exists in some disturbed minds.
For the rest of us Happy Hanukkah.
