The current headline is: "Cuomo begs businesses to return to NYC after devastating shutdown"

The article is full of some funny quips, too:

> "So let me get this straight..when Republicans have been saying this that means they are science deniers trying to kill people, but when @NYGovCuomo finally says this today then he is a genius who should write another book about his incredible leadership?" Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., tweeted. "Did I get that right?"

> "Brilliant strategist... it's incredible that no one thought of this months ago!" Donald Trump Jr. joked in response.

Don Jr.'s quip is only funny if you are laughing -at- him.

There was a pretty good reason not to encourage employees to come in to the office in NYC months ago.

Neither of those quips is funny. They show what should be an embarrassing level of ignorance if not outright stupidity. The state of the world even six months ago was COVID vaccines were only available to the most vulnerable groups. Six months ago clamoring about states opening up and people returning to offices was asinine. Six months ago a small enough portion of the populace was vaccinated that the danger of COVID spreading was the same as the preceding six months.
