Did they all go to Del Boca Vista?

I feel the flight from NYC will be swift and damaging.

I live in a rural Appalachian county. 99.99999998% white. No muslims and maybe 5 black families in the entire county. I see hispanics at the gas station on the highway passing through.
We rarely look our doors only when we go on vacation-our town of 400 people are all gun owners and watch out for each other.

That being said over the last 4-5 years big city easterners have been buying up plots of ground and building homes.

We have a husband and wife who just build a house near us on 15 acres. Retired from DC both worked for the federal gov’t and both liberal as all heck.

Our little Shangrila is being discovered.

I have no idea what DeSantis is doing. I don't watch TV or take a newspaper.

I heard at one point he had roadblocks up at the borders to try and stop anyone carrying the virus but I have no idea if that is true, was effective or is still happening.

I just know what I see from my property. When you live next to the highway, it is not hard to spot a car from the big city versus what folks around here drive. They might as well be from a foreign country.

Lots of ‘em are moving to Florida... which could really mess up the State if they changed registration from New York to Florida...

I think you forgot to engage your “New Normal” setting.

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

If Governor Corleone Cuomo can claim that New York's pandemic came from Europe just because that strain went from China to Europe to New York, can we now call what these escapees spread "the New York plague".

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.

Stupidity, ignorance and stupidity

I’m sure the NYS Dept. of Taxation and Finance is adding staff to harass all the people moving out.

No worries, Cuomo just promised New Yorkers not to worry the state is going broke, he assured his powerpoint audience that Congress will most assuredly give him the 52 billion he says he wants.

Is there a single person here that wouldn’t have done the same thing?

Upper East Side is the lone bastion of GOP-friendly territory in Manhattan. So the city will get even darker blue.

But where are they going?

Some high end zip codes in California have had 10-20% price increases in homes since March.

Those zips, also, have had minimal documented cases of the Corona-19 and minimal hospitalizations/deaths from it.

I hope it is like “The Mask of the Red Death” for them.
