Queens Borough President Donovan Richards on Thursday, Jan. 13 called for the establishment of an NYC Office of COVID Recovery to create a more streamlined and centralized approach toward fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.
The NYC Office of COVID Recovery would strengthen and expand the city’s COVID-19 testing apparatus, improve language access for city residents, foster communication between city agencies and elected officials, and partner with community-based organizations to distribute vaccine incentives and more, according to Richards. The agency would also oversee the Test & Trace Corps, which is currently operated by NYC Health+Hospitals.
“As Omicron surges and COVID-19 cases continue to rise nearly two years after the start of this unprecedented pandemic, which has killed more than 10,000 of our Queens residents and devastated our borough’s economy, we understand that we need to take control of our response to COVID-19,” Richards said during a virtual media roundtable. “COVID-19 won’t be just a memory anytime soon, we need to brace ourselves and organize for our new normal going forward.”
According to Richards, the NYC Office of COVID Recovery would alleviate unnecessary administrative burdens from both the NYC Department of Health and the NYC Health + Hospitals system.
“Over the past two years, it has felt like the ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Squid Games’ when it comes to organizing our response, whether it’s inter-agency or working through elected officials,” Richards said. “If we are going to beat COVID-19 once and for all, we want the public to get shots in their arms, we want people to social distance and wear their mask, but we also need a government that would function at the highest level.”

This guy is a moron. Just what we need another bloated city agency pissing away people's money. A bloated patronage mill for political hacks.
COME ON MAN!
Richards is just another NYC DeMoRat.
New York needs leadership like Gov. Glenn Youngkin or the great Florida Man.
JQ you are posting great pictures of these clowns. LOL...
More city payroll and patronage jobs!
Is his Honeymoon over ?
He is also running a new Leftoid command center for FLAT EARTH & BIGFOOT!
New York is a Shithole run by Marxist Dems.
I'm moving soon and will live in the great "Free" State of Florida.
Desantis has future president written all over him.
Youngkin keeping his day one promises makes me cautiously optimistic for our Great Republic.
Let's Go Brandon !
He's trying hard be AOC !
“If we are going to beat COVID-19 once and for all"
We already did. It's over.
"we want the public to get shots in their arms"
Except we know the shots are useless after a few months, and then actually make things worse after that. To say nothing of the many thousands who have died or been severely injured by them. But sure, jabs for all!
"we want people to social distance and wear their mask"
Completely useless. Two serious mask studies were done, and both showed masks have close to zero effect. And lengthy mask wearing creates its own health issues.
"but we also need a government that would function at the highest level.”
If the government had done absolutely nothing from the start, we'd all be much better off and fewer people would be dead.
Another haymaker from the nuts running NYC !
Hmmmmm.... let's spend some more money on a useless project that'll employ his friends and political cohorts.
God, what an imbecile the people of Queens elected to a dopey do-nothing post.
Tucker did a segment on the availability of therapeutics to white people in New York. It was shocking.
Pathology begins with a lie we tell ourselves.
It looks like mandates are disappearing by inaction even in blue areas, if only by soft civil disobedience.
Hey Donnie,
Nearly 4-in-10 Illegal Aliens Refusing Coronavirus Vaccine as Americans Hit with Mandates.

President Biden’s strongest supporters are most likely to endorse the harshest punishments against those who won’t get the COVID-19 vaccine. Among voters who have a Very Favorable impression of Biden, 51% are in favor of government putting the unvaccinated in “designated facilities,” and 54% favor imposing fines or prison sentences on vaccine critics.”

"Two weeks to flatten the curve, to prison camps and take Social Security or jobs from people who won’t take a experimental fake vaccine. Injection of children is just beyond evil.
How much more evidence do people need that unelected Globalists and Big Monopolies like Big Pharmacy have a sinister agenda .
This is a sinister war against mankind , where Governments are in collusion with this sinister attack on many Countries.
The evidence shows they bribed hospitals to kill thousands of people by mal practice treatment and suppression of valid treatment, which is still going on.
Fake news with censorship of dispute or facts regarding the expiermental fake vaccines injury and death toll is evident. Biden pushing the Agenda of these murdering Psychopaths.
The fraudulent narratives are breaking down but that won’t stop them from proceeding with this pre planned assault on US and other Countries.
Just so sinister and obvious now."
Get yer jab! Safe and effective!

Not much faith Donnie will be a good leader for the Sheeple of Queens.
Many of these Dems are unqualified for any postion, watch this Biden appointee fumble.

Mass Formation Is Real !
@"Tucker did a segment"
Tucker is a pimple on the arse of humanity.
What an ignorant self important twat he is....
Went to Steinway Piano, a great manufacturing resource and treasured contributor to the legendary cultural scene that puts NYC on the map and which has kept manufacturing moving employing many immigrants and people of color during this difficult time and ...
he talks about schoolkids.
Ah-huh.
So, who are the fascists?
DEMOCRATS! The democrats a major threat and it shows!
I've long thought that "progressivism" is a religion. Now they're OK with punishment for heresy. Poll Shows Democrats Favor ARREST, Internment Camps For Unvaccinated And Those Who Question Vaccine. Man, this is such an extreme case of "buyers remorse"for regular Americans.
@"Tucker did a segment on the availability of therapeutics to white people in New York. It was shocking."
If you are a Fat Old White Guy.. you are screwed !
Queens Borough President is a total waste of tax dollars. All they do is provide noise to the headlines.
As for this COVID19 command center, how about DOH/MH takes the lead. Or maybe or Emergency Management Department..... o wait, de Blasio took that away and created their own emergency coordination at the Mayor's Office. What a debacle that was. Mayor Adam's isn't impressing me either. Seems to spend more time on focusing on his theatrical PR event/speech instead of providing action. I have feeling he is another joke to this city.
Can any one here look into how bloated City Hall/Mayor's office is?
Will Dr. NPC Doofus be the chief medical officer?
ID RATHER HAVE THE MOBSTERS RUN SHIT AT LEAST IT GETS DONE.
Demorats motto, "Get in line or get sent to a camp."
You folks in NYC keep putting them in office; give up and move to another leftist state like Conn. whatever and New Jersey.
Will Dr. NPC Doofus be the chief medical officer?
Doofus?? Awww man, I'm hurt. Deeply hurt by your razor sharp wit.
The unresponsive white leadership has been failing American government since the formation of these UNITED STATES of AMNESIA and ENTERTAINMENT. Now, enter the DemonRat-entrenched, establishment-rigged herd of second tier, Black failed leadership, which signals the end of competence, humanism and face-to-face and voice-to-voice leadership as we know it.
This is THEIR time for morally bankrupt colonozation (or rather, a Black-foisted INVASION) that erroneously symbolizes what a totally useless, hyper-inflated and majority Black administration look like——and heaven forfend if anyone of color (languishing at the bottom of this empowered-idiot driven hierarchy) should need even basic help and or assistance——and let's not even talk about the remnants of Causasian stragglers who are still barely surviving in this nonfunctioning city of civic fail. Right now, it would be easier to find a Snow Leopard grazing in my New York City backyard than to find even the narrowest, infinitesimal examples of help from this Black coup of illusiory power.
And thanks for nothing, Über coward Bob Holden, for derogatorily suporting nepotism and lawlessness by the latest, totally corrupt 'Joker du Jour' in City Hall named Eric Adams (he will soon be impeached, I predict). Your approval of Adams' multiple examples of government tyranny will soon implode into countless manifestations of what vigilantism on a grand scale looks like from rank-and-file objectors who must rely on taking matters into their own hands for justice to prevail. Also, Wayward Bob: Your OWN feckless, unaccountable and sycophantic days of abusing public trust are seriously numbered!
Those immaculately cleansing, midterm elections can't arrive soon enough!
