Cops in New York City were called to a Brooklyn corner after a mob swarmed a spot where the city was giving out free at-home COVID-19 tests.

According to the New York Post, on Friday, "tempers flared as the larger-than-expected crowd descended on Flatbush and Church avenues, one of five spots in the Big Apple where city health officials were doling out tests amid a surge in demand over the holidays and lack of supply."

"We've opened new city-run testing sites in all five boroughs and have been handing out at-home #COVID19 tests to those waiting in line," Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted in the morning. "Our teams are working tirelessly to get you what you need."

Are these people really that gullible and are freaking out to the barrage of fear porn spewing forth from their TVs?

Or do they have to show negative tests to access certain places?

Either way, that’s just pathetic.

Well, this is sciencey. From NYS...

New York shortens quarantine time for grocery, restaurant workers and more

Headline leaves a bit out: The "more" includes fully vaxxed healthcare workers, including workers who have the coof.

I’m sorry to hear you had to deal with that.

I hope you got to spend Christmas with more reasonable people.

The yutes got confused and their Black Friday instinct kicked in.
They tried to muscle in and score some free stuff

Why should people without any symptoms be tested?

For some so they can keep their job or travel.

So, they gather in a crowd to fight over tests and spread the bug even faster

Wait a minute, New Yorkers are now selfish, aggressive and out of control? Didn’t see that one coming.

I live in DFW and we know nothing of this insanity.

I just got back from spending yesterday and today there with close friends.

Nobody checked anybody’s vax status and nobody was wearing pieces of dirty laundry on their faces.

My sister uninvited me for Christmas due to the fact that I’m not vaccinated.

That's nothing. My sister-in-law thought she was coming to my house today and was expecting me to submit to her mail-ordered swab before coming in. She and her family got to stay home instead. This was ostensibly for my elderly in-laws who were already here and mingling. We're all vaccinated, BTW.

Sorry for you.

Hope she doesn’t worry now that little Covid cooties can hitch onto the backs of pixels and go into her laptop or smartphone. I won’t mention it just in case.

I know someone (vaxxed) who got sick as a dog with Covid and took two home tests. Both were negative.

If she’s listed in your will maybe it’s time for an update.

Wouldn’t want you having any gain from my expected untimely demise.

She’s not, nor are my nephews, though she doesn’t know it.

The question is for the people who make those rules. None of it makes sense.
