These people have lost their minds.
During a recent interview with CNN, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) called for another shutdown of his city.
According to Breitbart, during his interview with host Wolf Blitzer, de Blasio stated, “Wolf, I think there’s certainly an argument for that. Look, the state of New York makes this decision. I’ve had this conversation several times with Gov. Cuomo, he’s going to make the ultimate decision. But what I would say is, we’ve seen the numbers go up, we are concerned about our hospitals, protecting the ability of hospitals to serve people. Clearly, we are going to need a pause. We’re going to need a shutdown, and I think the sooner the better. I suggested Christmas as sort of an obvious point. When the shopping’s over, and you know, a lot of things are closed down at that point anyway, it’s a very good time to stop activity. But, if it was something the state wanted to do even sooner, I would certainly support it as well.”

Perhaps the mayor should not get a paycheck during the shutdown.
