Man's power over Nature is really the power of some men over other men, with Nature as their instrument. —C. S. Lewis The question of overtreatment of seriously compromised neonates with life-prolonging hardware is, in the end, a weighing of values—a moral judgment. The most pressing issues of our time, it has been said, are not matters of engineering, but of human values. And, didactic opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, I am prepared to argue that moral judgment is not monolithic. A system of values is not the same everywhere and for everyone. Nor is it an unchanging construct over time—even throughout one's own lifetime. Piaget,1 Kohlberg,2 and Rest3 have all made a strong case for the view that differences among people, in the way they evaluate moral problems, are determined, largely, by their concepts of fairness. A sense of right grows more discerning with age and is influenced by the amount and the complexity of social experience. Let me explain what I am getting at, by relating the growth of my own social experience as a rescuer of extremely small neonates. It began 47 years ago, when I was on the housestaff at The Babies Hospital in New York City. On January 27, 1945, a premature neonate was born in a small hospital in the Bronx, at 5½ months of gestation; birth weight was 600 g. The obstetrician was astounded that this extremely small girl breathed spontaneously and he was even more amazed to find her still alive the following day.

Abstract In the midst of widespread community transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in New York, residents have sought information about COVID-19. We analyzed trends in New York State (NYS) and New York City (NYC) data to quantify the extent of COVID-19-related queries. Data on the number of 311 calls in NYC, Google Trend data on the search term ‘Coronavirus’ and information about trends in COVID-19 cases in NYS and the USA were compiled from multiple sources. There were 1228 994 total calls to 311 between 22 January 2020 and 22 April 2020, with 50 845 calls specific to COVID-19 in the study period. The proportion of 311 calls related to COVID-19 increased over time, while the ‘interest over time’ of the search term ‘Coronavirus’ has exponentially increased since the end of February 2020. It is vital that public health officials provide clear and up-to-date information about protective measures and crucial communications to respond to information-seeking behavior across NYC.

AbstractAcute Kidney Injury (AKI) is among the most common complications of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Throughout 2020 pandemic, the clinical approach to COVID-19 has progressively improved, but it is unknown how these changes have affected AKI incidence and severity. In this retrospective analysis, we report the trend over time of COVID-19 associated AKI and need of renal replacement therapy in a large health system in New York City, the first COVID-19 epicenter in United States.

The Long Crisis explores the origins and implications of one of the most significant developments across the globe over the last fifty years: the diminished faith in government as capable of solving public problems. Conventional accounts of the shift toward market and private sector governing solutions have focused on the rising influence of conservatives, libertarians, and the business sector. The Long Crisis, however, locates the origins of this transformation in the efforts of city-dwellers to preserve liberal commitments of the postwar period. New York faced an economic crisis beginning in the late 1960s that disrupted long-standing assumptions about the services city government could provide. In response, New Yorkers—organized within block associations, nonprofits, and professional organizations—embraced an ethos of private volunteerism and, eventually, of partnership with private business in order to save their communities from neglect. Local liberal and Democratic officials came over time to see such alliances not as stopgap measures, but as legitimate and ultimately permanent features of modern governance. The ascent of market-based policies was driven less by a political assault of pro-market ideologues than by ordinary New Yorkers experimenting with novel ways to maintain robust public services in the face of the city’s budget woes. Local people and officials, The Long Crisis argues, built neoliberalism from the ground up. These shifts toward the market would both exacerbate old racial and economic inequalities and produce new ones that continue to shape metropolitan areas today.

This is the first study to examine the fiscal effects of the New York property tax levy limit, using variation from the degree of fiscal stringency across school districts and over time in its first five years of implementation. Based on a difference-in-differences estimator coupled with an event study specification, we find that the tax limit has imposed a real cap on many school districts; that is, at-limit districts' total current expenditures per pupil are significantly lower than what they would have spent absent the limit. For those affected school districts, this expenditure gap does not come from spending on teacher salaries or fringe benefits but rather from other instructional salaries/expenses, central administration, transportation, interfund transfers, and undistributed spending. We also find heterogeneity in the constraining effects of the tax limit across different need-based groups of school districts.
