Five percent of New York City's population has fled since the coronavirus pandemic gripped the city, new smartphone data reveals. From March 1 to May 1, about 420,000 residents of the Big Apple left, particularly from the wealthiest neighborhoods, reported The New York Times. While there was relatively little change in some zip codes, others such as SoHo, the West Village, Morningside Heights, the Upper East Side, the Financial District, Midtown, Gramercy and Brooklyn Heights emptied by at least 40 percent. Meanwhile, Manhattan's overall population fell by almost 20 percent.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy — they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money of their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby

You know those lights were bright on Broadway
That was so many years ago
Before we all lived here in Florida
Before the Mafia took over Mexico
There are not many who remember
They say a handful still survive
To tell the world about
The way the lights went out
And keep the memory alive

-Billy Joel Miami 2017

SOB’s vote for garbage like Deblasio and Cuomo, then when the SHTF, they bail. Bunch of filthy rats running from a burning dumpster fire.

Isaiah 5:9 In my ears the Lord of hosts has sworn, "Surely, many houses shall become desolate, Even great and fine ones, without occupants.

Isaiah 6:9 And He said, "Go, and tell this people: 'Keep on listening, but do not perceive; Keep on looking, but do not understand.'
Isaiah 6:10 "Render the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes dim, Lest they see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed."
Isaiah 6:11 Then I said, "Lord, how long?"And He answered, "Until cities are devastated and without inhabitant, Houses are without people, And the land is utterly desolate,
Isaiah 6:12 "The Lord has removed men far away, And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.

God is far better at comments than me.

“And they took the virus with them, seeding it all over the country”

So? You’ve already been exposed to it.

Why do people seem to think that exposure to the virus is instant death so they think they know if they have been exposed? The gaslighting of the population was far too easy.

Let's see... we can stay here, during a period when the only people on the street will be criminals, or we can leave our secure highrise and move out to our country homes... hmm...

Historically, those who have the means evacuate themselves from plague centers. And yeah, I’d be one of those.

I would imagine where they have their summer residences: the Hamptons, Catskills, Cape Code, Marthas Vineyard, Nantucket and Florida.

" SOB’s vote for garbage like Deblasio and Cuomo, then when the SHTF, they bail. "

Or they move to red states to escape the destruction democrats ALWAYS bring in their wake. Then they vote democrat again, which causes them to have to escape to another red state-lather, rinse, repeat.

“Why do people seem to think that exposure to the virus is instant death so they think they know if they have been exposed?”

Maybe they have heath conditions.. A high BMI (over weight), hearth issues, diabetes, cancer, smoke their entire life, and over 65.

No issues or worries for me....
