Hoops Removed at Legendary NYC Basketball Courts as a Coronavirus Precaution
by Angi Gonzalez Brooklyn
(snip) -- "The basketball court at Rucker Park in Harlem is considered hallowed ground for some of the greatest players in the game.
On Thursday, it was empty, which seemed surreal for people who live in the neighborhood.
Earlier in the day, the hoops at the Rucker Park court and at 79 other basketball courts across the city were removed at the order of Mayor de Blasio.
Most of the people who spoke with NY1 on Thursday about the decision were not pleased.
This was true even with the knowledge that the move was made in an effort to promote social distancing amid the spread of the coronavirus.
“I know we have something serious going on. We have a virus and it’s getting a lot of people sick, especially in NYC, but the kids need stuff, they need activities,” said one woman. “I can see that they are doing it for people’s safety and health, but I just think it’s unfair,” said a 17-year-old girl. On Wednesday, the Mayor announced his plan to remove the hoops. He said the courts selected for removal were chosen based on information from the NYPD and NYC Parks Department."

Mister, you don't have to tell me.
For one, I am--like you, I think--of that era.
For two, I got the Complete Bob Dylan CD set for Christmas, really too much to handle, an unbelievable testament to talent, drive, compulsion, creativity, and (most impressive) an unending tribute to the music he started out with, folk, carnival, harmonica, horn and cymbal...
Three, I drove six hundre miles last weekend just to thumb my nose at the storm troopers...it's damned hard to charnge CDs in these newer cars, and even harder to get Dylan's disks out of the flimsy plastic sleeves.
At any rate I played Dylan until I hoped someone would tie him to the tracks!
But...I figure six months house arrest---for the CDs I mean---and all will be well.
You heathen! You apostate! You heretic! You are commanded by your state's petty tyrant not to appreciate science, but to unconditionally worship "the experts"!
As your penance, go have yourself whipped (by someone using a whip attached to a six-foot pole, of course ... It's "for your own good" doncha know!)
What is wrong with a little cocktail of vibrio cholerae between friends?
Absolutely. The dude to JabBa's right is the sign linguist, then there's the Mayor and the top administration criminals; all the guys with yellow pinnies are the food cart people to keep the obese 400 llb JabBa in slop.
I’m shitting my brains out trying to figure out what the answer could be.
Chicago was up 20some percent in shootings in March, though down in kills. We’ll have to see what April brings.
Speaking of cholera, did you know that cholera can increase the volume of stool to 20 liters a day?
Surprisingly enough my hand didn’t fall off???
Were there more killings or Corona deaths in Chitown?
Das’ raycis!
Sadly, all answers are draining and stinky.
It’s how Cholera kills you. It wrings you out like a sponge. You can actually save someones’ life from Cholera with an IV for three days but you have to be a damn Maestro of IV Fluids.
lol. Nice!
Look at the bright side. People stocked up with toilet paper. Sadly, they are fighting the last war.

LOL...... I appreciate your past.
I’ve seen the videos of cops going after people even out alone as a violation of the “stay at home” order. Threatening to arrest a lone paddleboarder. I don’t know of golfers in trouble, but it has probably happened.
For the next 20 years we are going to hear that whitey didn't give blacks any health care when the virus hit.
No ball washers???
Don’t they know that can lead to fungal infections?
