"It was the Republicans who believed it was a hoax." Laissez-faire public health at its finest.

Liar I understand the tweet may be fake, but this nonsensical rant by Schumer against the ban isn’t. https://t.co/srluhhJ5KV — shan_phil (@shan_phil) March 28, 2020

Educate yourself on how these New York politicians told everybody to go out and party. They denied the seriousness of the WUHAN death virus. We will not allow you freaks to rewrite history: Message 32636658

Flashback: De Blasio, NY Commissioner Told People to Gather in Groups When Coronavirus Outbreak Started

In the next clip, state Senator John Liu (D-NY) said that “there’s really no need to panic and to avoid activities that we always do as New Yorkers” and “[d]iseases originate from anywhere or from particular places in the world.” And then in the third clip, Liu’s Senate colleague Brian Kavanaugh insisted New Yorkers take to the streets for Chinese New Year festivities. He also warned “it is very important that we ensure that we don’t have misinformation and many in the media have been covering this issue as if it’s, you know, a terrible plague that people have to avoid.” Carlson saved perhaps the best (or worst?) for last: Mayor Bill de Blasio (D). Geraghty’s piece laid out a meticulous timeline of his Baghdad Bob-like statements, but Carlson stuck with two great examples. Unfortunately, he didn’t include de Blasio’s infamous YMCA visit (click “expand”): On March 2nd, this March 2nd, Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted this: "Since I’m encouraging New Yorkers to go on with your lives + get out on the town, despite Coronavirus, I thought I would offer some suggestions. Here’s the first: thru Thursday, go see "The Traitor"…If "The Wire" was a true story + set in Italy, it would be this film." That’s right, go to a movie theater immediately. You must. A week later, de Blasio was still encouraging New Yorkers to live it up and mingle in large groups. On March 11th, which keep in mind was barely two weeks ago, de Blasio was still insisting that: “If you’re not sick, you should be going about your life." That very same day, the NBA announced it was suspending its whole season. Italy was already several days into a national lockdown, but the mayor of one of the world’s most crowded cities was telling everyone to carry on and so the Chinese coronavirus was just a racist myth. Soon after that, people in New York inevitably started to get sick, in some cases very sick. In some cases they died and then suddenly de Blasio was on Meet the Press shrieking that Donald Trump had abandoned the city. ‘It was their fault. It’s all their fault.’ That line almost always works, which is why de Blasio did it. The media play along and move on to the next thing and no one remembers what actually happened. Will that happen this time? Maybe not. This time might be different.
