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."

If you have a job requiring regular COVID tests, then the cost of the stupid tests is prohibitive. I understand why they are rushing to get them.

Same. I’m 100% sure I had it. Had lung issues, loss of taste, the whole works. All tests showed negative. Had a close relative have it and was exposed.

Sounds like my sister.

And you simply cannot talk reason with her.

When someone has CNN on almost 24/7 as background noise, they are going to be brainwashed idiots.

If you lived in my area, you would have been welcome at my home. Unvaxxed very welcome. Branch Covidian Cultists not welcome.

It was just my mother and I. We were also cooking for my neighbor/cousin and his invalid wife.

Things were going all right (which was unusual) until I cooked my macaroni and cheese. Since we were cooking for two extra people, I added more macaroni.

Being the disaster area that I am, I added too much macaroni and we ended up with seven quarts of Mac and Cheese. I’m not exaggerating.

I thought it was hilarious, but my oh-so-perfect mother wasn’t amused. At least it tasted good and my neighbors and my dogs enjoyed plenty of Macaroni and Cheese, lol. My dogs and I will still be eating on it on New Years’ Day:)

Sadly, my sister also lives in fear of the China flu. My family is extremely dysfunctional, so her fear of covid-1984 wasn’t the only reason she didn’t attend.

That takes the cake!

Has she always been this neurotic, or has the vax messed with her brain?

Wonder what it would be like on FR if we had just one day where ‘nothing’ related to covid, shots, data, etc. wasn’t posted......that other things were really happening in the world.

Well get this......”A major Sydney hospital ‘incorrectly’ told more than 400 people on Christmas Day their Covid test results were negative when they were actually infected with the virus”

In NYC you could giveaway "FREE DEATH KITS" and get the same result.

Koolaid drinkers. These are the people who will champion shuffling others off to covid concentration camps. Very sad.
