[WA-03 Democrat]

3. It's sad that people cannot gather because a virus was mishandled so badly by

Dump, I am happy to see Times Square not packed.

4. I really don't find it sad.

What I would find sad is if the Square was packed with people. What better way to send out this past year with respect to the 345K that died and the front line men and women that were there to do their best to save them.

This photo shows respect.

16. That's what I was afraid of.....

a pic of tons of people (mostly young folk, of course) having a grand old time while ignoring the COVID.

I agree - respect - and perhaps a wave of common sense and maybe even some respect for SCIENCE!!!!

GOD BLESS our health care workers - they have made a new year possible for so many.

17. I was thrilled to see the empty square.

Thank you!

My niece is an ICU nurse and a front liner. I don't know if I could handle half of what she has.

20. Governor Cuomo

He did his job well.

23. I agree, sheshee.

I find this heartening. New Yorkers get it and they are not going to contribute to the problem, they will do their best to stop it from spreading. I admire their collective respect and cooperation for their fellow citizens, first responders and healthcare workers. Well done, New Yorkers!

24. Happy New Year, smirky.

25. Happy New Year, sheshe!

5. It's better that there isn't a crowd.

It's sad that there can't be a crowd this year, but at least people have enough sense not to gather - so in that sense it's not sad at all.

[Skittles]

[Thekaspervote]

7. I was expecting to open this and find 1,000s of ppl..that looks good ppl staying home

[procon]

8. I don't see sad, rather a positive sign that most people

are finally paying attention to public health earnings to stay home.

This is a good thing.

[Squinch]

[underpants]

10. I'd been wondering what was going to happen with this

[Totally Tunsie]

11. This is good news.

I'm watching Anderson/Andy on CNN tonight to see how they're spinning the "festivities". Will there be cardboard cutouts?

[Trueblue Texan]

12. Not sad. Cause for real celebration. At home.nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Not sad at all. Smart.

14. It was sad for me because I have the memories of New York down town.

I'm a New Yorker of sorts.

[IcyPeas]

15. I'm surprised it's THIS empty

I thought a few hundred would show up at least.

[keithbvadu2]

27. Moh, thank Goddess. I was afraid that I was going to see a crowd. While the reason for the

empty is sad, the fact that the Square IS empty is encouraging.

On the other hand, even in normal times, I always found that scene disturbing.are those people f'n ?NUTS?????
