Sodom destroyed by Fireballs — Mardi Gras destroyed by Viral Balls. Pause & think about it. The entire world has become one habitual, chronic, grotesque Mardi Gras. Man adoring man, technology, entertainment, sports, lewdness without relent. Saturated in filth. Antichrist.

Whose idea was it to let Mardi Gras go ahead with a million people gathering in New Orleans?!

Mardi Gras. Lots of complaints that Trump’s actions in January were too late, but then there’s New Orleans holding one of the world’s biggest block parties on February 25th.

Cuz they are all out of shape

Could it have any correlation to huge crowds on Bourbon street while everyone else was social distancing?

So QUARANTINE the town and let the rest of us go back to work!!!!!!!

People have been reporting on this for days now. Why is WSJ recycling so much old news?

How was the Mardi Gras Parade this year? Attendance up or down?

Was it a high new or new low to Mardi Gras during a Pandemic ?

Makes sense since its literally a swamp.

The mayor needed to shyt it down long before this.

Poverty kills

I expect the south to blossom in death rates. Between the obesity, poor diet, poverty, diabetes, heart disease, alcoholism.... oh yeah the numbers are going to go crazy in the next two weeks.

Comorbidities. Comorbidities.

What are the city’s hygiene levels like?

God should please have mercy

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son!

If the GOVERNOR had stepped up and canceled Mardi Gras instead of trying to make money from it and now complaining the federal government didn’t tell them! STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

We want to hear from you. REAL PEOPLE REAL. EMOTIONS.

If you understand that diabetes, heart disease put you at extreme risk and then look at the demographics and you will learn that this area of the country has a very high rate of diabetes and heart disease and therefore they are at high risk... its terrible..

They didn't listen and I am sorry this is happening to this beautiful city.

Here is some analysis. Mardi Gras. Lesson over.

gee....isn't that a shame == as part of the FoxNews family...you share in the blame for this, but whatever, right? its just a bunch of peasants down there, right?

Curious what percentage of the affected population here are smokers and/or significantly obese...

‘Mardi Gras during a pandemic’ effect.

The mayor should be held accountable

But Mardi Gras was great fun....

I don’t believe the numbers...

Probably should stop deep frying everything they eat.

Republican stronghold.

Poor health...

New Orleans grocery store owner helps his hometown as it faces new stormBurnell Cotlon spent his life savings to open the only grocery store in the Lower 9th Ward a decade after Hurricane Katrina. Now, during the coronavirus pandemic, he works nearly 17 hours a day to make sure it's stocked with groceries and vital supplies. How can we help him? How can we donate to him and his store?
