"New Year's Eve" - Postcard

Once again, the New York City Dec 31, 2022 New Year's Eve Celebration / Times Square Ball Drop will happen, just like it did in 2020 and 2021. Because neither covid-19 nor even a New York City "Tridemic" that is "overwhelming healthcare systems" can interfere with the money to be made at this annual event. In 2020, despite covid-19 cases in New York City being significantly higher at the end of December 2020, compared to September 2020, the Ball Drop occurred, but the "Never Forget 9/11/2001" memorial service (in September 2020) was cancelled.

So, unsurprisingly, in 2022, despite a month or so of dire headlines warning everyone about the "Tridemic", the Times Square show will go on: COVID, Flu and RSV Hit NYC – Here's What Top Doctors Say on ‘Tridemic' Woes - "A triple threat of overlapping illnesses -- COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza -- is overwhelming healthcare systems"

Despite New York City having daily record breaking numbers of covid-19 cases, higher than they've ever seen before, even at the previous "height of the pandemic", their Dec 31, 2021 New Year's Eve Celebration / Times Square Ball Drop will happen, just like it did in 2020. I knew they wouldn't cancel it this year.

This year's "scaled back" New York City New Year's Eve extravaganza will be fifteen thousand (15,000) double vaxxed / triple vaxxed people converging in Times Square, wearing masks. Last year, despite covid-19 cases in New York City being significantly higher at the end of December 2020, compared to September 2020, the Ball Drop occurred, but the "Never Forget 9/11/2001" memorial service (in September 2020) was cancelled.

I know who you are
I know where you're coming from

Call Me - Blondie (from The Conjuring)


Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
So go downtown

Downtown - Petula Clark


In a New York minute
Everything can change

(In a) New York Minute (Everything can change) - Don Henley


I Will Survive Covid-19 (dancing to a bossa nova in Times Square) - my variation on the Gloria Gaynor lyrics

(sung to the tune of I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor)

At first, I was afraid, I was petrified.
Kept thinking you might kill my loved ones, or maybe me.
But then I found out how Boris Johnson ignored the Rules.
And I grew strong, and I learned how to ignore you.

And now you're back... as Omicron.
I just walked in to see the news and their latest hysteria.
I should have bought that Pfizer stock.
I should have bought Moderna too.
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me.

Go on now, go. Go see Fauci.
Just turn around now, and go see Daszak and Bill Gates.
Weren't they the ones who helped censor lab leak stories?
Did they think they'd fool me?
Did they think I'd believe their lies?

Oh, no, not I.
I will survive.
Unless their Big Pharma profit making clot shot kills me first.

My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon" offended me, but apparently some thought it was "funny" so, I too, can make cartoons that others might find offensive.) My piece and words are also free speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Well, it used to be, prior to the ascension of the US Government Ministry of Truth dictating to Social Media Platforms which of their users need to be banned for "misinformation" as defined by the Government.)

"Martini Playing Card" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Three Muses challenge theme was "CARDS, Christmas or Playing card." I went with a New Year's Eve theme.

I'll be reading the news, to learn what New York City decides to do about this year's (Dec 31, 2021) New Year's Eve Celebration / Times Square Ball Drop. Last year, despite covid-19 cases in New York City being significantly higher at the end of December 2020, compared to September 2020, the Ball Drop occurred, but the "Never Forget 9/11/2001" memorial service (in September 2020) was cancelled. I wonder what, if any, influence the "Winter of Death" Narrative will have on the Ball Drop.
