CHRISTINE SCHULTI CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY EXECUTIVE WONDERS WHY GEORGE LATIMER DID NOT CALL FOR GOVERNOR TO RESIGN SOONER.

Posted on August 4, 2021 by John Bailey

CHRISTINE SCHULTI, Republican Candidate for County Executive issued this statement on the ongoing Governor Cuomo situation Wednesday.

“I stand with all the women who have been humiliated, demeaned, and assaulted by Governor Cuomo, as
confirmed by the Attorney General’s independent investigative report, and I call on Governor Cuomo to
immediately resign.

WPCNR CAMPAIGN 2021. Special to WPCNR from the Westchester Republican Party. August 4, 2021:

Christine Schulti, The Republican Candidate for County Executive issued this statement on the ongoing Governor Cuomo situation today:

Sadly, I am not surprised that it took until now for Mr. Latimer to break his silence and condemn the
Governor’s behavior. After a decade in Albany as one of Cuomo’s closest allies – and given how
pervasive Governor Cuomo’s behavior is now known to have been – one wonders what Latimer knew
and when he knew it.

George Latimer’s reputation as one of Andrew Cuomo’s top enablers is known
and he is now working overtime to distance himself from the disgraced
governor. Westchester voters won’t be fooled. George Latimer is Andrew
Cuomo’s handpicked County Executive. During George Latimer’s inauguration,
Cuomo even bragged that he was sharing a “secret” and boasted of his invitation
to Latimer for coffee at the Governor’s Mansion, where Cuomo recruited
Latimer to run for county executive.

While many courageous Democrats called for the Governor’s resignation months ago, George Latimer
remained silent until the very same day President Biden, the entire Democratic Congressional
Delegation – and even Cuomo’s own Lieutenant Governor – stated the obvious and repudiated him.
Simply put, Latimer was the last man in line to break with his closest political ally.

Westchester voters should also know that Latimer has chosen to ignore: the Moreland Commission
(Cuomo corrupted his own anti-corruption commission), a $5 million book deal to profit from his alleged
“leadership” during Covid, Cuomo’s senior associates indicted and incarcerated, renaming the Tappan
Zee Bridge and worst of all the 15,000 senior deaths (and subsequent coverup) following Cuomo’s order
to place Covid patients in nursing homes, for which he should be prosecuted. After a decade of
swimming comfortably in Albany’s cesspool, George Latimer has failed to demonstrate any leadership
on any of these vital issues.

(Editor’s Note: Governor Cuomo has long defended his sending covid patients back to nursing homes, saying nursing homes were asked if they could care for their own patients coming back from the hospitals. If the nursing homes had said they could not care for these patients, they would not have been sent there.)

COUNTY OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES NEW MASK GUIDELINES TO COUNTER GROWTH OF CORONAVIRUS CASES

Posted on August 4, 2021 by John Bailey

Westchester County has re-established a mandatory mask mandate for most County facilities and County Executive George Latimer is making sure the message reaches the Spanish-speaking community.

You can view the full message here

Latimer said: “We have a large population in Westchester County that does not speak English and we want everyone in our communities to know and understand these requirements, so we can continue to stay safe and healthy. I am proud the County has reached an 80% vaccination rate and we want everyone living here and visiting here to know when they should mask up.”

At all Westchester County office buildings, unvaccinated employees and those who visit will be required to be masked at all times. Those who are vaccinated, will need to be masked in all common areas.

At all County beaches and County pools, masks will be required when patrons go to concession stands, locker rooms, bathrooms and other locations regardless of vaccination status.

MONTEFIORE HOSPITAL AND WESTCHESTER COUNTY SETTLE ONGOING MEDICAL COVERAGE OF COUNTY EMPLOYEES DISPUTE. MONTEFIORE WHITE PLAINS HOSPITAL WILL NOW ACCEPT UMR coverage.

Posted on August 4, 2021 by John Bailey

WPCNR COUNTY CLARION-LEDGER. Special to WPCNR August 4, 2021:

WPCNR has learned the long medical coverage standoff between Montefiore Hospital, new owners of White Plains Hospital refusing to honor United Medical Resoures UMR the Unithed Health Care affiliate, coverage held by county employees was not accepted initially by the Montefiore insurance network has been settled.

County employees were notified by the county that Montefiore has settled with the county and now the Montefiore-owned White Plains Hospital will accept county employees medical coverage. The agreement “restores in-network access to all eligible County employees, retirees and their dependents who have UMR coverage.”

Covered county employees are now able to continue to use their UMR insurance card, by telling providers they are part of the “UMR Westchester County Government Plan” when calling to make appointments.

WPCNR CONTINUING COVID REPORT. By John F. Bailey Comment on the NY Covid-19 Tracker and Westchester County Covid Tracker Trends August 4, 2021:

A lesser percentage of Westchesterites were newly infected with Coronavirus Tuesday: 2.2%–139 of 6,448 tests conducted. The number of new infections was 8 less than Tuesday at a much lower infection rate.

This shows another dynamic of a 117 new cases a day spread which Westchester has averaged the last 10 days. As you go up in amount of testing, the infection percentage may go down but, with more persons infected previously, the spread continues at approximately the same rate. As County Executive Latimer said Monday the virus spreads at 7 times the number of infections.

That happens because each new person according to the Johns Hopkins Center modeling of the virus spread 1 new person spreads the disease to 7 people over 10 to 14 days before symptoms of covid appear. The newly covid positive person (who is not aware of it because they are not sick yet) is a carrier to infect others if they do not quarantine and especially if they do not mask.

The last 10 days saw the Third Wave strengthen after infections the week of July 17 through 24 rose significantly above the 1.1% infection rate (which controls and stabilizes virus spread) through Sunday the 24 of July to 1.6% raising infections from 50 a day to 75, 439 infections that week.

Since July 24, beginning the next day, Sunday July 25 through 10 days through yesterday August 3 produced an average 2.4% infection rate among an average 5,000 tested a day in 10 days of testing new persons testing positive. Counting yesterday, the August 3 infections posted today new infections in 10 days have mounted to 1,170 new infections in two weeks of growth.

On Monday, August 2nd, 147 new persons tested positive for the first time the county has had over a thousand new infections in a week since April in the second Wave of Covid.

August 2 was he first time the county has passed the 1,000 infection mark in a week’s worth of tests roughly since April 24 when 150 of 10,000 tested tested positive, when we were on the way down in infections. In the 9 days from April 13 to April 22, 2,389 were found positive, however the infection rates were much lower.

What I as an observer notices is the high spread 3.2% rate on low test numbers. If 3.2% of 4,570 test positive, and 147 get infected as of Monday. What if you tested 10,000 as we were doing in mid-April?

If you take a 3.2% infection rate applied to 10,000 you come up with 320 infections. If the 3.2% goes up to 3.5%, 350, if we hit 4.0% big new case numbers multiply: 400 a day.

This is disturbing. Why? Because 10 days before April 24–when Westchester recorded 150 new cases at a 1.5% infection on 10,000 persons, we experienced a 2.9% infection rate on a test field of 12,000 persons the number infections was 346. This tells you what will happen if this infection rate isn’t dealt with — by masks, new restrictions. It will just keep expanding.

Right now some one in your town, or city in the county has to pay attention. Perhaps the leader of the County or any county. Or just perhaps The state house and the new governor if Governor Cuomo is inpeached, can tear themselves to focus on this Third Wave gaining more robust by the day.

Masks, yes. Vaccine proof for entering restaurants, bars, events. Yes. Vaccinating all teachers in New York City. (Who knew only 60% of NYC teachers were vaccinated? That has to be done otherwise you cannot open the NYC schools if you do your are whistling past the graveyard.

If your school district does not have fully vaccinated staffs, teachers and administrators, your district will see so many infections the first month you will have to shut down. God help the schools in NYC. They have had 5 months to vax the teachers and administrators. It
