The New York Times published an infographic on just how many New Yorkers left New York City during the COVID crisis, and where they traveled to.

In March, the United States Post Office received 56,000 mail-forwarding requests from New York City, more than double the monthly average. In April, the number of requests went up to 81,000, twice the number from a year earlier. Sixty percent of those new requests were for destinations outside the city.

This map of New Yorker destinations matches rates of outbreaks nearly perfectly, with the exception of the New Orleans outbreak, which can be tied to Marti Gras.

The Miami outbreak had almost nothing to do with spring break on a beach and everything to do with New Yorkers bringing the infection to Miami.

Many of the Left, Congresswoman AOC being a prime example, have talked about how poor New Yorkers were the hardest hit by the virus, demonstrating the systemic racism and iniquity of the country.

A plot published in the print edition of the NYT sheds some light on this, nearly one-third of wealthy New Yorkers fled the city to be sick in other locations.

The phrase “rats leaving a sinking ship” comes to mind.

What is so absolutely grotesque about this is that while the media and politicians were clambering for lockdowns, the sheer arrogant ballsiness of New Yorkers to ignore stay-at-home orders and spread the virus outside the city was the cause of most of the problem.

Last week I reported how Hawaiians are not happy about the lockdown.  Yesterday The Guardian reported that a tourist in Hawaii from New York was arrested for violating quarantine and taking pictures of himself on a beach.

New Yorkers believed themselves to be exempt from the rules.

While the New York-based media has been attacking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for Florida’s COVID deaths, it was rich New Yorkers who brought the virus to Florida and spread it.

This is the same media that gave New York Governor Andrew Cuomo a pass for the near deliberate infection of thousands of nursing home residents with terrible policies, then undercounting those deaths with more terrible policies.

More elderly have died of COVID in New York City nursing homes (4,800 reported) than all COVID deaths in Florida (1,900), yet DeSantis is the bad guy and Cuomo is the hero.

CBS is reporting:

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Sunday addressed the state’s early response to the coronavirus outbreak and said “nobody” should be prosecuted for the those who died, noting that “older people” were most vulnerable.

“Despite whatever you do, because with all our progress as a society, we can’t keep everyone alive,” Cuomo said.

 Cuomo continued to stress the point that older and more vulnerable people were “always going to die from this virus.” He said when talking who is accountable for deaths, the most important thing was to make sure “you can have a situation where everyone did the right thing and everyone tried their best.”

New Yorkers spread the virus across America.  Where New Yorkers fled to, outbreaks followed.  New York policy towards treating the infected needlessly killed thousands of elderly and sick people and the Governor who created these policies says nobody will be prosecuted because those people were going to die anyway.  I’m surprised he didn’t end that statement with “fuck ’em.”

To make matters worse, since the COVID Marys who spread the disease are mostly the most upper crust of the NYC population, the movers, shakers, and millionaires who donate big sums to politicians, it is unlikely that anyone else will go after them for what they did to the rest of us.

New York City killed the United States economy and thousands of other Americans with the arrogance of not obeying the quarantine and shelter-in-place they demanded the rest of us.

Forget bailing out New York.  New York should bail out the rest of the United States.

And if Trump wins the election in 2020, he should have the DOJ prosecute Andrew Cuomo, Bill de Blasio and the rest of the NY/NYC government for what they did that murdered thousands of New York’s most vulnerable, tens of thousands of other Americans, and the whole of the American economy.

I have to say I have not been giving my local bird poop catcher enough attention and they show it. Yesterday’s editorial sound more like the complaints of a defeated ex-girlfriend  when she sees you with your beautiful wife walking down the street.

Our advice is cynical, but justifiably so. For long too long, the coronavirus pandemic has been one long trust exercise, one in which just about everyone Floridians looked to for guidance and leadership failed to have our backs.

The Editorial board keeps pushing this narrative because they feel sure it will stick. And it will do so as long as Governor DeSantis is busy dealing with the urgent problems of the state, but I have the feeling that once he gets a chance, the Media won’t be happy with what he has to say.

REPORT VIOLATORS
Rather, residents, workers and businesses bear an even greater responsibility to protect themselves and others around them now that lockdown has ended. Any failure to follow and enforce the county’s well-vetted guidelines means an increase in coronavirus cases, exactly the wrong direction in which to go.

Yes, the Herald wants you to be a Karen. And I bet you anything they will hit us with deep inside pieces of “investigative journalism” showing locales where they found tables separated only 5 feet 11 inches which will guarantee the return of the Black Plague for Miami Dade.  It is the Ex Girlfriend telling anybody your newly acquired wife is a whore and will step out on you before the month is over out of pure spite.

One question for the Miami Herald: Aren’t you guys due for another round of permanent vacations for the newsroom? Inquiring minds want to know.

I was just checking twitter when I came across this jewel from the Miami Herald:

The horror! The plight! That is like being in a cell! Damn you Trump!  I mean, how come they are not allowed to use the passenger cabins with all the space and the goodies, huh?

Wait… what’s that?

Aren’t those crew members in the balconies of passenger cabins? And wasn’t this posted mere seven frigging minutes before the other tweet?

And then they wonder why we don’t trust them and call them fake news.

Just when you think the Kingdom of Cuomo cannot get any lower, they open a new shaft and go down.  Too many old farts from nursing homes dying? Move the frigging goalposts.

New York has omitted an unknown number of coronavirus deaths in recent reports regarding residents of nursing home and adult care facilities, the New York State Department of Health acknowledged in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

In early May, those reports quietly began omitting long-term care residents who died of coronavirus in hospitals. Even so, New York still leads the nation with 5,433 reported deaths at nursing homes and adult care facilities as of Wednesday.

EXCLUSIVE: New York Admits Knowingly Undercounting Nursing Home Deaths After Quietly Changing Reporting Rules

When everything else fails, fudge te numbers. Lie.

New York’s coronavirus tracker “currently does not include out of facility deaths,” NYSDOH spokeswoman Jill Montag told the DCNF. “Deaths of nursing home and adult care facility residents that occurred at hospitals is accounted for in the overall fatality data on our COVID-19 tracker.”

And have a good excuse if you get caught.

Montag told the DCNF that the state is opting to not disclose out of facility deaths “in order to maintain consistency and reliability in the data as presented, and to avoid any potential for double-counting.”

Bullshit. The numbers were making His Excellency Cuomo look bad and that might be fatal for his chances at the Presidential nomination come the convention.

Of the nine states with the largest coronavirus outbreaks at long-term care facilities, according to a New York Times tracker, New York is the only state that omits the deaths of residents who died at hospitals from its reporting.

And that is just now, in the past two week that they decided to their version of Common Core statistics.

The NYSDOH did not respond to the DCNF when asked if it disputes that the state is omitting at least 479 adult care facility residents that died from coronavirus at a hospital in its reporting on long-term care deaths.

The department also did not respond when asked what the health benefits are of concealing the deaths of long-term care residents who died in hospitals from its reporting on long-term care coronavirus fatalities.

I am they hard at work trying to come up with another excuse/explanation and probably blame Trump while at it.

And don’t forget: We (the rest of the country) are supposed to bail the city from its financial burden acquired wile sleeping at the switch and encouraging people to ignore Coronavirus and mingle in the streets.

From the Twitter:

Three million new unemployment claims were filed last week bringing the total to more than 36.5 million.

The entire time the media cheered on the lockdown saying “if it saves just one life” and shaming anyone who wanted to reopen as “wanting to kill grandma so they can get their hair cut.”

But 355 journalists get laid off from their lying fish-wraps and it’s a bad week.

The media: “To hell with those millions non-essential peasants, they can watch Netflix and enjoy their $600 a week in government benefits.”

Also the media: “355 of us were laid off, it’s a disaster, the sky is falling.”

Next time a media enterprise needs to clean house, I’m happy to contract my guillotine services.  Severed heads don’t  require severance pay.
