All eyes are on our hospitals right now, as they battle to save lives. But for most of us who contract #coronavirus , the battle will take place somewhere else: home. You likely have many questions about this. Here are some answers. 1/

NYC has lost 23,283 souls to this pandemic. But for the first time since March, we lost none today. Thank you to the healthcare workers, essential workers and everyone who made this possible. There will be more pain and hard work ahead. But we've done something extraordinary.

There have been NINE anti-Semitic attacks in NYC in the past week. And now this horror tonight just outside the city, in Monsey. This is a full blown crisis. None of what we are doing is good enough.

Motive remains unclear after 5 stabbed during Monsey Hanukkah celebration

A man attacked a Hanukkah celebration at a rabbi's home in Rockland County late Saturday, stabbing and wounding five people before fleeing in a vehicle.

Mailboxes are being removed from West Harlem. We need an emergency intervention to prevent the gutting of these essential services our neighbors rely on. Our fundamental right to vote is also on the line. The Post Master General must resign. #SaveUSPS #SaveThePostOffice

Big news being lost in the craziness this week: NYC's vaccine mandate for public sector workers is in full effect, 92% of staff now vax'd, and all City services are operating without significant disruption. So yes, vaccine mandates work.

NYC is scheduled to restart *indoor* service in bars & restaurants in a little over a week. Yes our curve remains flat (for now). But how can we ignore what's happening in 29 other states? How can we ignore the mountain of evidence of greater risk indoors? Let's not rush this.

Like so many of my fellow NYers, I have just tested positive for covid. My symptoms are mild. Since I have thankfully been vax’d and boosted I am confident I will be fine. I am grateful to everyone who has made that extraordinary thing possible. Be safe out there folks.

NYC’s healthcare system is being pushed to the limit. And sadly, now so is the city’s system for managing our dead. And it, too, needs more resources. This has big implications for grieving families. And for all of us. 1/
