I’ll never forget making a wrong turn on my way back into the city and ending up driving through the bronx for a while when Covid was in full swing. Almost no one was masked and people were having big gatherings in parks. Just seemed like it wasn’t gonna go well.

It was def a problem but as someone who worked in Harlem, Queens and The Bronx every day during the pandemic, midtown/downtown was WAY worse with people disregarding masks at the height of the pandemic. Although, funniest thing I saw was 3 people sharing a hookah at like 830 AM on the block in the Bronx...like why the fuck are you up that early to smoke hookah?

Ah haha! Gotta get that morning buzz I guess. Shame about midtown too. I really didn't get out much then and was further uptown so I never saw that area.

Our doors unmasked and our door gatherings have never been unsafe.

If you're outdoors hugging each other, touching each other in any way, having a bbq where infected folks are touching their faces/nose/eyes and then stuff that other people then touch, well then it's not exactly safe, is it?
