Seriously???

COVID-19 DEATHS: NJ- 15,946, HUDSON COUNTY- 1,510 

Here it is, folks: a Hoboken ELECTED OFFICIAL making light of CDC recommendations to mitigate spread of a DEADLY VIRUS, one that's wrecked our local, state and national economy, killed our friends and neighbors, upended our children's education, and in general, caused great stress and suffering.

If only we had a hammock.

That's it folks; politicians being public role models as they are (in pandemic times, we sure need them) if a Hoboken Councilman "social distancing" in a hammock will put a grin on my face and bling around my neck, I'm buying.

Dr. Fauci has got nothing on Hoboken.  Who wants to wear a mask and clothes and stand six feet apart when we can swing in a hammock, mask-free with bling-bling?

This proposal from Hoboken's First Ward Councilman is very appealing. A budding entrepreneur might want to consider motorized hammocks.  A motorized hammock would allow social distancing at the supermarket, restaurants and events like weddings and  bar mitzvahs.  Large ones could fit a whole family! 

In fact, the hammock- virus mitigation method appears to be catching on-- and it was only posted on social media yesterday! 

 Ooooh Jim... you little minx.

Who did it better? 

You know, Jim is very uptight.  I begged him to take his shirt off but he said, "That is undignified conduct for a public official. I want to be taken seriously."   Then I asked if he'd swap out the tie for some bling. "I don't own bling," he replied.

What the hell is wrong with him?   

Anyway, before you buy your Social-Distancing Hammock, here's some food for thought. Yesterday when a Hoboken Councilman was showing off his "Hammocks in the time of covid social distancing" technique, 3 new coronavirus deaths were reported in New Jersey.  Oh, and 2 deaths due to coronavirus were reported in Hudson County last week.

So while Hoboken officials swing away in their hammocks, mask-less, making light of coronavirus prevention, local residents are sick and dying. 

While DINO Council members vote "NO" on Hoboken's ability to enforce wearing masks, they recommend hammocks to "social distance." 

What a disgrace.  Yes, I just returned from southwest and central Maine, and let me tell you: everybody I saw out in public wears a mask, no matter where they are, alone or not.   Everybody.

In frigging Maine.  One of America's lowest population-density states.  And in population-dense Hoboken?  Spoiled adults need to be punished to do the right thing.  But the council has tied the City's hands.  Then has the nerve to joke about "social distancing" from a hammock.

So, if you 'got' the satire, it is obvious which council members are taking this pandemic seriously and which are not.  Nero fiddled while Rome burned; Councilman DeFusco swings in a hammock, dispensing idiotic advice.   

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: swinging in a hammock will not protect you from coronavirus, nor is it necessarily "social distancing."  If your hammock is on a desert island, maybe.  But unless it is a GIANT hammock, it is possible for someone to stand within 6 feet, and spew coronavirus in your face, which you will inhale because you are not wearing a mask.  

Lastly, before the complaining begins...
