[ April 23, 2024 ]
New York and the “pandemic”, the city was a shadow of itself as the lock-down dragged on (from May thru September). But, people NEEDED to socialize, to share more than the silence of a locked-down solitude; not everyone was okay with this New Normal.
The city-noise, dimmed for so long, was broken nightly at 7 pm by banging pots and pans thanking essential workers. But, eventually, this nightly cacophony faded away, replaced by MUSIC.

Even though the lock-down dragged on, MUSIC was resurfacing at the restaurants’ outdoor seating, teasing us with a NYC that once was.
But first, video (May 25, 2020) Two months into the 15 day lock down, the compliant New Yorkers, out of work and stuck in-doors, managed to ‘make noise’ every day at 7 pm . They were banging Pots and Pans for the “essential workers” and then, dutifully, headed back in doors.
June 2, 2020 (video) Midtown Manhattan. At this point we were three months into the 15 day lock down as stumbled upon an early evening bagpiper enjoyed by everyone passing by.
Sept 12, 2020 (video) Restaurant Row. 6 months lock down (not 15 days as promised) The musicians and singer at two of the restaurants had paused as I started filming, and then started up again with a happy couple dancing in the middle of 46th st. (nice)
Sept 27, 2020 (video) 6 month lock down. Found some buskers (New Orleans style) next to the still shuttered, Rudy’s Bar and Grill. AND then more great music on Restaurant Row. It felt like Jazz Night in the city.
Sept 28, 2020 (video) Saw what looked like a commercial rehearsing for the very popular Hold Fast Sports Bar on Restaurant Row.
However, even with these flashes of life , the lock down paralyzing this once vibrant city continues. Sad. Frustrating. Infuriating.

New Yorkers should feel privileged that they weren’t in a long-term care facility, where Governor Fredo sent THOUSANDS of assassins.

POOR FOOLS, THEY STILL BELIEVE THAT POTUS TRUMP CREATED THE CHICOM VIRUS, WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY THE NIH, THE OBAMA REGIME AND THE NIAID UNDER DR FAUCI THAT HELPED THE CHICOMS IN THE WUHAN LABS THAT THE OBAMA REGIME FUNDED WITH MILLIONS OF AMERICAN TAX PAYER DOLLARS CREATE THE VIRUS WITH AMERICAN HELP, MATERIALS, RESEARCH AND MONEY. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE RESEARCH BEING DONE HERE IN THE USA UNDER THE OBAMA REGIMES NIAID WAS ILLEGAL SO IT WAS SHIPPED TO CHINA FOR COMPLETION.

It’s not normal for people to live in isolation. It’s unhealthy. It’s in our DNA to be around people. Books, entertainment via movies or youtube etc.. and pets are temporary substitutes. You also need people contact and hugs etc.. Not having people contact, makes people crazy and leads to depression and drug overdoses. From what I can see people are getting fed up with it and starting to ignore these draconian rules.

Absolutely true. I live way out in the woods in southern Oregon. No family, no visitors, just total isolation. It’s been a hellish year for me. My health is declining and I can’t even get an appointment with a cardiologist, have waited nearly 6 months and still waiting. NOBODY should be this alone.

I live north of Seattle. Went there a couple months ago. Had to see what it was like. I won’t go there again.
Many street level businesses shuttered, boarded up. Streets quiet — this on what was a beautiful late afternoon in August. What would normally have been streets full of workers, tourists, visitors … it was eerily quiet. Cars were few. It was surreal.
New York City will likely never come back. Nor will Seattle. Or many of the major downtowns which have been abandoned.
Tragic. And criminal, what has been done to this country, to so many tens of millions of Americans.
