NYC faces 'explosive' coronavirus spread from cold weather, schools
Fox News ^ | 8-29-20 | By Audrey Conklin

A combination of colder weather and students' return to school, however, could change that, according to a Wednesday report from Politico.

Adding to my list of reasons why NYC is doomed. The only thing on the list of why NYC isn’t doomed is wishful liberal thinking.

Good. The faster it spreads the faster we’ll build community immunity.

How do they know? Are they planning on making it happen?
It’s all supposition.

The solution is obvious:
1. Masks shall be worn from here to Kindom Come.
2. Keep the businesses shut.
3. Seniors are locked up forever.
4. Buy hand sanitizer by the barrel load.

They didn’t gain control, it burned through.

No leveling the curve at all.

By the time it gets cold in NYC again, Trump will have been re-elected for a second term.

Might be an especially cold winter for some!

The solution is obvious:

Live free or die.

Live free until you die.

Don’t die for want of freedom or you haven’ really lived.

I don’t give a crap about it. I cared back in February or March, but by April, we knew the truth.
