Governor Cuomo: "The apex is coming. We know that."
Governor Cuomo is outside speaking as the Comfort arrives. Helicopters overhead are giving the scene a surreal feel.
Didn't hear it well due to helicopters, but Governor Cuomo just said something about [being ready?] "before the storm hits".
Has anyone seen these in places besides New York City? I assume they are still there; can someone from the area confirm? What, if any, part might these play in this?
2017: NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) –"Mysterious metal towers are popping up at local tunnels, and soon they’ll start appearing at bridges, too. But even people on the MTA board in charge of the towers can’t say why they’re being used or what’s in them, CBS2’s Dave Carlin reports.
Jose Lugo said the tall metal towers quickly appeared up after the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel tolls booths came down.
“We don’t really know what’s the purpose of this,” he told Carlin.
It’s a $100 million MTA project shrouded in secrecy, with 18 of them for tunnels and bridges. So what are they exactly? The MTA’s man in charge of the bridges and tunnels, Cedrick Fulton, dodged Carlin’s questions Wednesday.
“I said no comment,” he said.
“It’s a bit mind-boggling that the MTA is approving $100 million for what appears to us to be big, decorative pylons,” says John Kaehny, the leader of the watchdog group Reinvent Albany. “What we’re asking for is transparency from the MTA.”
CBS2 demanded answers from MTA Chairman Joe Lhota.
Carlin: “Some of your own board members say they don’t know the specifics.”
Lhota: “The base of these new pieces that are going up include whatever fiber optics are necessary for those Homeland Security items.”
In other words, anti-terror technology. Could that one day include facial recognition? We don’t know and Lhota won’t say.
“I’m not at liberty to discuss that,” he told Carlin.

WHO press conference: "We do not recommend the wearing of masks in the public, unless you yourself are sick."
He isn't older than Trump, but West Virginia Governor Jim Justice [68] is quite large, and I think someone he was in contact with did test positive a few weeks ago.
Some countries like China and Italy have been cremating the bodies, making any future determination as to cause of death impossible. I even read that in China, they are immediately sealed up in a body bag, and it is prohibited to ever re-open it. At one of the press conferences, someone said that there is no chance of infection from a dead body.
Mayor de Blasio: "My job is to always tell you the truth."
