DIE also applies to disease, apparently. It seems parading around the “sanctuary city” title and shouting about a “right to shelter” has some unforeseen consequences when your guests bring a slew of communicable diseases.
Ah. Just bill the taxpayers when they’re released from the hospital after that bothersome bout of Ebola.

The city will spend nearly $30 million on “disease detectives” and other health pros in preparation for nightmarish potential outbreaks — including new COVID-19 variants, mpox, ebola and polio — The Post has learned.
“New variants of COVID-19 are likely to emerge in the fall/winter, along with other infectious disease outbreaks such as polio and Ebola, causing extensive strain on personnel if temps are unable to be utilized to support NYC’s response activities,” the agency said in public notices.The solicitations came amid the city’s exploding migrant crisis, with more than 125,000 people having poured into the Big Apple since April 2022.
Earlier this year, city Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan warned about half of the migrants entering the city were unvaccinated for polio and that many were coming from or passing countries with high rates of infectious tuberculosis.
