I've gotta say, in the absence of competent presidential leadership on the mitigating the spread of and treatment for coronavirus, it's really comforting to see our local government picking up the slack. I mean it. Thank you to all: the Mayor, his staff, OEM, CERT and everyone who has been apart of this rapid response team. Hopefully, testing will become available soon for both symptomatic and a-symptomatic residents who want one.
In the meantime, the City of Hoboken, Office of Emergency Management, and the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) have opened up a COVID-19 hotline for Hoboken residents.

ReplyDeleteGetting serious about COVID-19
You know who isn’t taking this serious? Our First Ward Councilman who is sharing his activities on social media that are completely against CDC guidelines. He’s putting the people of Hoboken at risk by taking public transportation to use a public gym in NYC or go to large gatherings after the city made a tough call to put public safety first. Here’s a #newidea, run along Hoboken’s beautiful waterfront. And let’s not forget he’s an employee of CBS that also reported confirmed cases of covid-19. That’s definitely the selfish leadership I am looking for in my city leaders. *sarcasm* When will the First Ward wake up and vote him out?
