Governor orders a halt to all elective surgery “out of an abundance of caution”

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.

“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.[Guessed]

“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. 

Related: Biden didn’t ban Africans effective today because Dr. Fauci and other medicos said it was too soon to impose a ban when so little was known about the new variant. JoJo’s political handlers, however, argued otherwise, so he’s going for Monday. “Plenty f time to come infect our country, Biden (might have) said, “but hurry!”

Biden did say, “We need to lead the way with science — not … hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering.” Of course, he was running for president at the time, which made it acceptable to our media lickspittles.
