Terrified by the coronavirus, Liz and Ken Frydman fled their apartment in Manhattan for the relative safety of their country house in Connecticut.

That’s because Andrew Dice Clay wasn’t a caricature.
He really was typical of seventies and eighties New Yorkers.
The same a-hole paper that has been ripping/mocking Trump voters for years is now worried about stigmatizing groups? F them.
Yup, the old Pace commercials were great...until Campbell’s Soup (based in NJ) bought them out
Now we are finding that they really are just a third world sh!thole.
We don’t want them in Western NY state either.
If we are honest, much of the country already felt this way.

Exactly right. Its not so much about them spreading the virus, its more about them infecting other states with their destructive liberal disease.
We have the same problem with Californians here in Arizona
Boo hoo. They came here to Florida and we see how that worked out.
Outstanding.
