Here’s the thing: New Yorkers were out and about this weekend. Clearly it depends on the neighborhood, but Murray Hill, the West Village, downtown, Central Park were poppin’. Popping! But everyone will return to their homes and their lockdowns and not go back to work. And somehow this is OK?
People flock to NYC-area bars, beaches as ‘quarantine fatigue’ intensifies
Lockdown-weary New Yorkers ditched the distancing to get social instead this weekend — transforming parts of the Big Apple into a raucous, late-season Mardi Gras.
Yet the city’s COVID-be-damned attitude was nothing compared with the scene in Belmar, NJ, a beach popular with Staten Islanders and Brooklynites.
Huge crowds waited shoulder-to-shoulder on the boardwalk for their turn to buy beach badges.
“The line for beach badges was like four non-socially distanced blocks long,” tweeted Jarrett Seidler, who described the boardwalk as “obscenely packed.”
Outside popular bars on the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side, the East and West Villages and in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, The Post found booze hounds arriving for the takeout cocktails and then staying — and staying — to sip drinks on packed sidewalks and soak up the lively scenes.
“How are you going to drink with a mask on?” one reveler, hairdresser Akeem Kelley, told The Post.
His mask dangled below his chin as he stood outside the Upper East Side’s popular Dorrian’s Red Hand bar — where crowds exceeding three dozen people, nearly all unmasked, were found in the early evenings of Friday and Saturday.
“They don’t care about us,” said Ann Trent, 72, of Manhattan, on Saturday.

The virus is essentially everywhere now, so we have to take common sense precautions and use effective medicines (HCQ as an example) treat the people who get sick.
The virus can’t be stopped now, and it has to die the death that a virus dies.
Tyrants, who release viruses to exploit the death and fear for political power, can be stopped.

People are starting to realize that they outnumber the tyrants. If the tyrants get too ugly the people will realize that they also outgun the tyrants. At that point, the police will be forced to pick a side….
