"The coronavirus pandemic's impact on New York is an issue that Bernie Sanders has to consider"

I don't really like citing the Post, but a quote is a quote:

“The coronavirus pandemic’s impact on New York is an issue that Bernie Sanders has to consider,” (NY Democratic Party head Jay) Jacobs added. “But it’s up to him. "If he stays in the race, we will hold a primary.”

NY Democratic leader floats nixing state’s presidential primary

sure, I'd agree with that for some cases and it's not ok. On the other hand, I'll point to such a post and ask how something ridiculous like this shouldn't get pummeled.

....even one of the remaining 27 primaries - not one.

Unless he pulls a Rosie Ruiz one can't possibly win by dropping further back in each and every primary.

....are in NYC and Westchester County. I think I heard up to 50% of all cases in the US are there (that might have been an exaggeration)

It's a shame that people will be forced to risk their health or even lives to vote in a primary that won't change the final outcome.
