???, I think it’s pretty sad, very sad situation indeed...shoving peeps into their apartments wasn’t good either, and not allowing peeps to walk open beaches is even more ridiculous... cellie...

It’s all sad
But to me the nursing home fiasco was number one
But a very close second is having built up a great icu capacity and vastly increase hospital capacity
Only to dismantle it as you say we may see another wave and you can’t open anything because your still short on hospital capacity and icu capacity
They are literally reducing the amount of capacity they had built up.
And then have the balls to say we havnt yet reached the goals
I’m so beyond fed up with the elected officials

Life maybe but not here
Interesting turf wars going on all over the country, but this one is probably the biggest from NY Times:
Beach Towns Have a Message for New York City Residents: Go Away
Annoyed by the city’s decision to keep its shoreline closed, officials in nearby areas are limiting beach access to keep outsiders at bay.
In the Hamptons, the locals have put up barricades to limit parking and deployed enforcement officers to ticket outsiders. Jersey Shore towns have banned short-term leases and Airbnb rentals. The Suffolk County executive’s office taunted Mayor Bill de Blasio: “Do your job. Figure out a plan to safely reopen your beaches.”
Since the coronavirus pandemic began, tensions have repeatedly flared over whether too many New York City residents have decamped to outlying vacation areas, potentially taking the virus with them. But now the region appears on the brink of a full-fledged (and nasty) battle over beaches, touched off by the city’s decision to keep its shoreline closed.
In normal times, the Memorial Day weekend start of beach season sparks a mass migration from the city to Long Island, the Jersey Shore and, to a lesser extent, Connecticut. But Mr. de Blasio’s delay in opening the city’s beaches for swimming — on Friday, his office suggested they could reopen in June — has led to a backlash from local officials in those areas.
The officials say they fear that their shorelines will be overwhelmed by an exodus of sun-starved New Yorkers blocked from their own beaches, which can in normal times attract a million people a day.

It will be tough for citidiots to bribe at my town beach as they never work alone and they are mostly political hires (GOP). There is a bicycle path that goes by it now but very few racks for them. I think the city peeps are just going to have to get up early and be part of the 50% capacity at Jones Beach and Robert Moses State Parks but even more likely, just wait out Duhblazio and go to the city beaches when they finally open. Jones bused people from the city anyway, but I don't think those buses are running.
