Cops had to step in Friday as a crowd mobbed a Brooklyn corner where the city was giving away free at-home COVID-19 tests. 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. Photos from the scene showed members of the crowd raising their voices and pointing fingers—and cops tried to calm them.(Snip)Angry New Yorkers have already been very vocal about delays at the sites, reporting long lines and inconsistent availability

NYC - - where crowds used to get excited about World Series games - - Broadway shows - - hero parades - - Coney Island thrills - - Christmas displays - - but now - - "covid" tests are all the rage.
Shameful. Disgraceful and shameful. I'm delighted that I don't live there any more. I couldn't possibly fit in - - with these scared, delusional little commies.

Continually testing yourself for a disease when you have no symptoms is mental illness. Fight over free tests is childish and mean.

I grew up within a short walk of that corner, got out in 1970 and never looked back. It should be part of the Prospect Park Zoo. The pictures look like someone is throwing peanuts into the cages.

If you’re not sick why in the world would you want to get tested?

Can somebody answer a simple question? What the hell good is getting tested for this cold like Chinese created virus? What exactly good does testing do anyway?
NYC is full of brainwashed, fearful idiots.

Tough cal for the bipocs -- riot at the corner for covid tests, or swarm and smash at the handbag and jewelry store.

FTA: “”Meanwhile, Omicron is raging throughout the Empire State, with 38,835 cases on Thursday alone — shattering the prior day’s record by some 10,000 cases.”
‘Omicron’, a so-called variant of SARS-CoV-2 (which should have been sequentially labeled as ‘Xi’ by WHO, because they didn’t want to upset the ChiCom dear leader of this very regime that unleashed this pox on the world, BTW) has demonstrated to be no worse than the common cold-with no reported deaths. 38k cases? Who cares.

Maybe I'm stupid, but I'm over masks, lockdowns, and vaccines. The past year has proven to my satisfaction that masks and lockdowns don't work, and a "vaccine" that requires a booster after six months, and another booster after that isn't very effective, so why take it in the first place except to enrich Big Pharma.
Remember ten months ago when the assurance was two jabs and we could go back to normal? Now it is three jabs and you can still get infected, but maybe you won't get as sick as you would have (BTW - hard to prove or disprove). Now they're talking about a fourth jab. When does it stop? I know Big Pharma would like to continue it as long as possible, but I think I'm stepping off this merry-go-round. If I die from COVID, everyone has my permission to gloat.

I always enjoy it when New Yorkers display their Schiffy attitude elsewhere and are rudely reminded that their antics are not acceptable in polite society. They deserve each other.

Finding a white person in that crowd would be like playing "Where's Waldo?" They are obviously used to getting free stuff on demand.

It's FREE!
And why would you want one? You are either sick or not. If not....why in the world would you get a test? If you are sick....stay home, and again, why bother?

Are New Yorkers ever not angry and vocal, with tempers flaring? And why are People of Color called minorities when per the photos the scenes may as well be somewhere overseas?
