The replacement of New York City's health commissioner, Dr. Oxiris Barbot, comes as the city braces for a possible resurgence of the coronavirus.
The head of New York City's health department has resigned. Dr. Oxiris Barbot is leaving one of the country's biggest health departments in a city, of course, that got hit very hard by COVID-19.FRED MOGUL, BYLINE: Hi, there. Good morning.MOGUL: Well, yesterday, Dr. Barbot released a resignation letter catching Mayor Bill de Blasio and his team off guard.
MOGUL: Now to be fair, Noel, this was when the very first cases were appearing in New York. It was a couple weeks before anyone would be calling for sweeping lockdowns. There was very much a message out there of Keep Calm and Carry On rather than warning New Yorkers about the possibility that what was happening in New York or Italy could arrive here. But she seems to have been on the wrong side of that message.
MOGUL: Right. Clearly, she was part of the team. Clearly, she deserves some portion of the credit. It's hard to, you know, apportion credit for reducing the spread, apportion blame for the extent to which COVID-19 took off, especially in communities of color, especially in congregate settings like nursing homes.
