The front page of Thursday’s New York Post contained a headline calling on New York City to end coronavirus lockdowns “now.”

“The Big Apple is dying,” the article by David Marcus, the Federalist’s New York correspondent, lamented. “Its streets are empty. Tens of thousands have been plunged into poverty. Our leaders have no plans, no answers. New Yorkers have already learned to socially distance. Businesses can adjust. The elderly and infirm can continue to be isolated.”
