According to the New York Post, over 6,000 cops were home sick as of Tuesday. The numbers have been steadily rising in recent weeks. Last Tuesday, about 2,700 officers were home sick, with over 300 COVID positive.
On a typical day, about 1,400 officers call in sick, which is between 3 and 4 percent of the entire force of 36,000 uniformed officers. Of the more than 6,000 officers (17%) who are currently out, 3,000 have flu-like symptoms and over 1,300 have tested positive for COVID.
Many officers are being forced to work during the upcoming Holiday weekend, apparently as a result of the high numbers
According to the Daily News, the NYPD has canceled all regular days off for uniformed cops, including December 31st and January 1st. However a department spokesperson refused to confirm that the cancelled off-days are a result of the high number of officers out sick.
88% of all NYPD employees are fully vaccinated.
Really? I wonder how that can be if there’s a vaccine mandate on them. Maybe faucci can give us all an answer
The “vaccines” are so effective…I keep on reiterating the fact that the more people will get “vaccinated” the more likely covid-19 will be abolished forever and ever….but not before EVERYONE has taken their 50th booster shot.
So 1/6 of NYC police force shall be spared from mandatory חילול-שבת in Times Square come New Year’s Eve
Here in Monsey we can be out 75% of the police force and still be safe. Our police line on the county tax is basically a charity
Lazy bums
In the old days, if an NYPD cop called in sick, a police surgeon would personally go to his home, to verify that the cop was actually ill; how times have changed!
