NYC health officials PUSH for face masks to be worn indoors and in crowds as all five boroughs enter 'high' Covid alert

New York City health officials have pushed for face masks to be worn in all indoor areas and in crowds amid rising Covid cases.

Writing on Twitter Friday, health chiefs reminded residents of the guidance and recommended that they use a high quality N95 mask.

All five of New York's boroughs are now in the 'high' alert level for Covid, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), meaning masks are recommended.

It comes amid the arrival of Omicron variants BA.4 and BA.5 which experts fear will spark a surge in infections across the United States.

'To help slow the spread, all New Yorkers should wear a high-quality mask, such as an N95, KN95 or KF94 in all public indoor settings and around crowds outside.'

Ya viruses don’t typically escalate upwards in their spread or virulence after 2.5 years.

How was the seaweed? I’m thinking of going in the spring, but I’m not sure if I should check out the Bahamas instead.

In Punta Cana, it was pretty bad. Our resort had a water barrier set up and raked the beach constantly. If a priority is to spend a lot of time in the ocean water, it's just not a great time to go.

However, the sand/beach and weather was awesome, the resort and food were the best of the several we've been to, and we took a private excursion to Seona Island, which included the most amazing water, marine life, snorkeling, and local cooking. Highly, highly recommend visiting it if you hit the DR.

Natural selection would actually argue that a novel (engineered) virus should increase in transmissabilty and decrease in severity of infection over time, which is exactly what appears to be happening.

I've seen 50-100 kids and parents recently with new CV19 infections. I haven't heard of anyone with a hospitalization or life threatening case in many months.

Which resort did you attend? I’m looking at Secrets Cap Cana and Secrets Royal Beach, but I’ve read mixed reviews on how aggressive the vendors can be on Royal Beach. I definitely want to hit up that island. Seems like most people recommend that excursion.

My house is on our second tour 1.5 years later. It's about the same. Bad cold. Less of a hacking cough this time.

Dreams Royal, which is connected to Secrets. We went over there several nights for shows/ night life. There are an abundance of vendors, but the beach patrol is vigilant and keeps them from pestering or being too aggressive. They actually have to have a license, and I got a great deal on cigars, had my daughter's hair braided, and picked up a couple of shirts for my boys.

Pro tip: we talked to a couple one night and they actually said they preferred the food at Dreams over Secrets. You can go back and forth. The main buffet is ridiculously good, unless you are a super-picky/nonadventurous eater. Carving station, made to order omelets, Ramen bowls, poached eggs over Spanish omelet (my breakfast go-to), shaved Italian meats, local cuisine (roasted chicken, fish, rice and beans, grilled fruits and vegetables, Caribbean fresh fruits - dragon, star, mango, papaya, etc), extensive salad bar, etc. All the sit-down restaurants were very good, and only the hibachi required a reservation. The hibachi dinner was tasty, but it was hot AF in there, which spoiled it for me after a long day in the sun.

I would go back in a heartbeat.

Oh, and let me get you the name of the tour guide we used for Seona. He was awesome and we are actually staying in touch. Much better than going on one of the booze cruises and not much more expensive.

I got covid in May. No one else in the family did. I had a little aching and headache for about a day, but the coughing lasted a few weeks. It wasn't serious, but my family put the most fear in me talking about pneumonia. I quarantined mostly in a single room.

Did you go to the eco water park? It is tiny and they need to add more stuff, but we had a blast at it.
