“#Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s latest COVID-19 crackdown makes no sense<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n It\u2019s perfectly reasonable for Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio to aim to rein in a COVID-19 surge in several city hotspots. But their plans so far don\u2019t make much sense \u2014 unless they intend merely to provide maximum protection for teachers\u2019-union members. Kids and parents clearly lose out.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the gov suspended in-person classes in nine city ZIP codes, calling blanket closures necessary because some schools hadn\u2019t done enough testing, and \u201cbetter safe than sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n

By that reasoning, he might as well close the whole state. You never know, right?<\/p>\n

Fact is, most schools have had few cases of COVID, if any. Much of the uptick has involved the Orthodox Jewish community, yet Cuomo\u2019s closures aren\u2019t limited to troubled yeshivas; they also include public and even Catholic schools as well.<\/p>\n

Cuomo \u201csays he is governed by the facts,\u201d notes the state Catholic Conference\u2019s Dennis Poust, yet \u201cwe have not had any significant COVID issues\u201d in Catholic schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re following all the guidelines,\u201d sighs John O\u2019Brien, principal of the Good Shepherd Academy in Brooklyn. \u201cNobody\u2019s been sick. And still we have to close.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel my children are being penalized,\u201d fumes one parent. It\u2019s tragic \u2014 even more so because Catholic schools have invested heavily to allow kids to return safely.<\/p>\n

Cuomo\u2019s logic is badly inconsistent: On Monday, he nixed de Blasio\u2019s shutdown of non-essential businesses, in part because \u201cZIP codes can include communities that have a low infection rate.\u201d Schools, too, sir.<\/p>\n

The next day he rolled out his own plan for shuttering \u201cnon-essential\u201d businesses \u2014 even as he says the real issue is \u201cmass gatherings\u201d (and the economy is on life-support).<\/p>\n

Cuomo also talks about the lack of enforcement of existing rules and says he\u2019ll send in state task forces to force compliance. Will that be as uneven and arbitrary as the State Liquor Authority\u2019s ham-handed work? How many public workers are remotely prepared to handle the challenges of ethnic communities? We fear this is just another bid to big-foot de Blasio.<\/p>\n

All in all, the governor seems more intent on looking decisive than on getting results.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
