There are 10 new coronavirus cases in New York City, bringing the total to 46, according to Mayor Bill de Blasio, who said Wednesday he is considering canceling the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

“Right now 46 cases, that’s important for sure, but it’s still a city of 8.6 million people,” de Blasio said on PIX 11 morning news Wednesday.

The city is “nowhere near” implementing containment zones like the one scheduled to go into effect in New Rochelle, de Blasio said.

46 cases? Lets just shut down the city for a month.

They will cancel, it’s what the woke people do.

Cancel it de Blah blah. Take CONTROL. You were born for this moment.

What’s Wilhelm gonna do with all the Long Island teenagers that will come into the city to get drunk if there’s no parade to entertain them?

Back in my drinking days, the two days I refused to decorate the mahogany were St. Pat’s and New Years eve.

The LGBT community will be deeply saddened......

No agenda to hijack.

I went out last night, visited two night clubs. Everyone was talking about the nice early spring weather. People were yakking, dancing, drinking, playing pool, throwing darts, hugging and having their usual fun. I heard no mention of you know what.

It was great.

New York city should open its doors to all since it is a sanctuary city. New York needs more non vetted illegals with the virus to fulfill their needs.

but but but but cancel St. Paddy's for just the flu bro?...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Ireland already cancelled it.

First rational thing DeBlasio has said lately. I will be out all weekend celebrating SPD in NY/NJ and will be hoisting several on Monday, parade or no parade.

Denver, the capital of the KCCP (Колорадо Советская Социалистическая Республикa, aka Commierado, canceled their St Patricks Day parade. Ofc we have a black mayor. Hmmmm. Maybe it was a wascist decision against white folks.

[davidb56]

He’s a douche bag. Let the citizens decide if they want to go parade around. Whats next...banning super size soda?

[shanover]

We are going to laugh about this episode in time. This is about crisis and control.

[Libloather]

Have the parade without his approval.
