They are about to “discover” a new more dangerous strain of covid in New York City. Then they’re going to repeat 2021 the way they did this last year.
America’s descent into dictatorship an authoritarian government continues.

Is Cuomo refusing Communist Chinese such as computer hackers arriving to help their comrades at Tech corporations, defense plants and university research centers?

Countries surrounding the UK have already stopped incoming flights. This new strain started in Sept. so it’s likely already here and everywhere.

They'll rebook for Logan, and rent a car and drive to Manhattan.

They haven't posted border guards at the GWB (yet).

Why wouldn’t the British Government require the same thing for passengers flying from New York to the British Isles?
