I've Been Thinking:
NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio announced that the city will start fining people who are not wearing masks.
The mayor is particularly targeting Hareidi communities, but other communities and neighborhoods are also being inspected.
Until now many Hareidi neighborhoods have been totally non-compliant - to the point that they believed that COVID was over and that they had herd immunity.
But things are changing. People have begun to wear masks.
The fines can be up to $1000.
Over the past few weeks NYC is testing at 3% positive of all tests. That is a huge increase after months during which the positive rate was way below 1%.
Hopefully, the fines and the threat of fines and the presence of inspectors will jolt more and more people back into wearing masks.
It’s all about compliance – that’s how we save lives.
