  • The City of New York Office of the Mayor New York, Ny 10007
    THE CITY OF NEW YORK OFFICE OF THE MAYOR NEW YORK, NY 10007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 29, 2020, 4:15 PM CONTACT: [email protected], (212) 788-2958 TRANSCRIPT: MAYOR DE BLASIO HOLDS MEDIA AVAILABILITY ON COVID-19 Mayor Bill de Blasio: Good afternoon, everyone. We've got a lot to go over here and we're all feeling very heavy hearts as we deal with such an extraordinary challenge and we think about the New Yorkers that we've lost and we think about what's ahead and I'm going to go over a number of things now that update you. Understanding the challenge but also understanding that New Yorkers will get through this together and it’s hard to explain that balance sometimes that we're dealing with something absolutely profoundly different than anything we've dealt with before, extraordinarily difficult and invisible and confusing, but we will get through this together. That is something that comes back to just the pure strength of this place and our people. But in the meantime, we will go through a really tough, tough journey and it all comes back to, as always, needing to work with the federal government in particular to get the help we need. And I'll give you some updates starting there. There was confusion yesterday obviously when President Trump mentioned the concept of quarantine. I think a lot of us were confused, thought it was something that would be in so many ways counterproductive and obviously unfair to so many people. What ended up happening was a CDC travel advisory, something much different – not a lockdown, something much more consistent with what we've been actually saying and doing in the city and state already, which is telling people to stay home unless they have an essential reason to go somewhere.

NEWS CULTURE SPORTS VIEW HERE ARE THE JEWISH PLAYERS AND SPORTSPEOPLE LOOKING TO DOMINATE THE 2015 MLB PLAYOFFS By Daniel Koren - October 8, 2015 # 13832 ! 0 The 2015 Major League Baseball playoffs are officially underway, with Toronto setting the stage for the first game of the playoff season as the Blue Jays, playing their first post-season game since they won the World Series 22 years ago, take on the Texas Rangers. As the city’s Jewish members are well aware of, the Blue Jays’ own outfielder Kevin Pillar is a member of the tribe, who showed off his pride by wearing his ‘SuperJew’ undershirt when the Jays clinched the AL East division title. But aside from Pillar, there are several other Jewish athletes and spokespeople actively looking to win the 2015 World Series championship, including a distinguished cadre of owners, players, general managers and presidents of baseball operations. While we pay homage to them with this list, we must also acknowledge that there are far too many Jews in the MLB to mention them all, from batting and pitching coaches to communications directors. As only one team will prove triumphant, there is no doubt that there will be a very tough road ahead for all of you. Allow us to offer these words of encouragement, as spoken by the world’s most interesting man: For the thousands of baseball fans who look forward to this time of year more than anything else in the world, enjoy the wonderment that is the MLB playoffs.
