Dr. Jay Varma, who led the city’s coronavirus response as senior adviser to then-Mayor Bill de Blasio, admitted to the pandemic promiscuity in secretly recorded conversations published by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder.

“It’s so funny,” Varma said on tape, “because I did all this like deviant, sexual stuff while I was on TV.”

Varma said in another recorded conversation he and his wife rented a hotel room to host their own secret sex party with Ecstasy. “We … had to be kind of sneaky about it because hotels didn’t want people gathering there,” Varma said, adding his profile as the city’s lockdowner-in-chief called for extra discretion. “It was fun!”
