Hizzoner didn't want this info released, but finally had to relent.

At last, some numbers that begin to make sense.

Two areas of Queens—Corona and Elmhurst—have led...

So the borough of Corona leads the world in coronavirus infections, you can't make this stuff up. Later generations will probably think the virus was named after this afflicted borough.

[mewzilla]

Are these areas packed with illegal multi-family dwellings? Code violations allowed to continue because Kaiser Wilhelm wanted voters, uncaring if they were packed in like sardines?

Flushing is in Queens. Who lives in Flushing? Mostly Chinese immigrants who often travel to and from China.
And what did DeBlasio do when the Chinese New Year parade in Flushing came up?
He encouraged everybody to go to them parades, thereby helping make New York City the worldwide epicenter of coronavirus. You can't make this sh*t up.
Yet Cuomo and DeBlasio have the nerve to constantly blame President Trump for their own incompetence nd screw ups. The President doesn't run New York City. Cuomo and DeBlasio do.

Well I’m on my way
I don’t know where I’m going
I’m on my way
I’m taking my time
But I don’t know where
Goodbye Rosie, the queen of Corona
Seein’ me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard

I grew-up in Elmhurst!

I’d love to be able to read the story in full, but it says I have to subscribe. Oh well...

Big Asian communities there and in the next town over called Flushing, commonly referred to as “Flu - Shing”

RE:”Two areas of Queens—Corona and Elmhurst—have led the city in reported infections, with 947 and 831 as of March 31, respectively, the data show. Both neighborhoods are heavily populated by immigrants who live in close quarters, often with multiple families sharing a dwelling, said City Councilman Francisco Moya.
Dr. Mitchell Katz, the chief executive and president of NYC Health + Hospitals, said it is difficult for some people to isolate and maintain social distancing to slow the spread of the virus, especially in the hardest-hit neighborhoods in Queens. “You may have multiple families living together in a very small apartment, so it’s easy to understand why there’s a lot of transmission of Covid occurring,” he said Wednesday. “

Yep

[montag813]

Violations of housing and zoning laws by illegals accelerated the spread of disases. What a, uh, surprise.

[bert]

——social-distancing guidelines have proved difficult to implement.-—

Hmmm..... difficult to implement or just ignored?

[Old Yeller]

I figured Queens would have a high infection rate. What’s that you say? Oh, Queens is a burrough?

[mewzilla]

BTTT.

[tinamina]

According to the 2000 census 21% of Queens population was Chinese. It’s probably a lot greater now especially in Elmhurst neighborhood, although there is also a high Hispanic population as well. Why isn’t the news doing its job and reporting this? Oh I see. Racist thoughts.

[1Old Pro]

Neighborhoods with LOTS of people, lots of foreigners, lots of illegals, and Democrat elected officials. 2 + 2 = 4
