Ignore the hype about Coronavirus. Go to Chinatown. Enjoy the Lunar New Year..
I recall reading about New York City's director of health, or some such, making the above statement. His statement seemed to reflect the cavalier attitude of New Yorkers, but I can't find the thread/reference.
Can some Freeper post the link? Thanks.
I believe that quote should be attributed to Madam Pelosi.
I believe these are the links you are looking for:

NYC still won’t shut down subways or other mass transit.
No subways in LA.
Clarice Feldman mentioned it this morning, the name is Bardot.
Here is an excellent rollup for the Daily Signal that includes the one you’re looking for:
Oxiris Barbot, Mark D. Levine, and the MTD all had tweets about getting out. I saved local copies of these pictures from FReepers, but I don’t recall the threads.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hmmmm... Moon worshipers.
That is ONE advantage of the "car" part of our planet. They are and will be safe in their own snug, virus-free cars.

breathe it in, let it fill your lungs.
that’s what the nazi gas chamber guards said as well.
Pesky reality breaking through. The new serfs need a way to get to their “essential” jobs. The shut ins don’t mind them being canaries in a coal mine.
This explains it

NYC's first Latina Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot is being blasted for her response to the coronavirus ....as NYC becomes the epicenter of the pandemic. Despite numerous warning signs, Barbot failed to take drastic measures. As the global outbreak heated up in January, Barbot repeatedly assured New Yorkers their risk was “low,” and to resume normal activities with only basic precautions such as washing hands.
On Feb. 2, with the city’s first suspected coronavirus case under investigation and China’s death toll skyrocketing, Barbot touted upcoming crowded NYC Chinese New Year events. “As we gear up to celebrate the #LunarNewYear in NYC, I want to assure New Yorkers that there is no reason for anyone to change their holiday plans, avoid the subway, or certain parts of the city because of #coronavirus,” she tweeted.
Five days later, she declared the city had little to worry about. “We’re telling New Yorkers, go about your lives, take the subway, go out, enjoy life,” she said. Barbot gave the city a false sense of security instead of tackling the harsh reality with aggressive measures. We should have taken more drastic steps early. Now we’re paying the price in lives.
On March 4, with COVID-19 cases emerging in Westchester County, Barbot dismissed the threat of infection by casual contact, saying, “There’s no indication that being in a car, being in the subways with someone who’s potentially sick is a risk factor."
At a City Hall press conference on March 5, with “only four confirmed cases” in NYC, Barbot said the city was urging people who arrived from certain countries with rising cases to self-isolate, but everybody else without symptoms should not have to quarantine. “No need for it,” she said.
Another silver lining. The mass transit/ban single family housing jerks look like the idiots we knew them to be. Maybe we stop any new High Speed rail projects too.
