I got tested Sunday. In Times Square. In the cold rain. I got there at 8:45 a.m. I was done by 10:45 a.m. When I left, the line was probably 300 people long. My two hours were going to be six hours for them.
Judging from what I saw on New York streets Tuesday morning, testing lines are beginning to approach gas lines during the oil embargoes in 1973 and 1979.
But wait, everybody — here comes Joe Biden to save the day, like Mighty Mouse. He’s going to open testing sites! Federal testing sites! There are going to be 10 — count ’em, 10 — whole sites in New York City beginning this week!
Whoop-de-freakin’-doo! More than 8.5 million people in the Naked City, and 10 new whole sites are being opened up as the Omicron virus spreads like wildfire! It’s like bringing a water gun to put out the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire.
