Bugout! A Novel Coronavirus Novel Ch. 18

What are they?

Some kind of Jew, Vic said.

They live here?

Yeah, from New York originally.

That big outbreak was in a Jewish part of New York.

Yeah, New Rochelle.

Is New Rochelle in the city?

It’s a suburb about 25 miles north of the city.

The Poconos are having all kinds of trouble with New Yorkers crossing the Pennsylvania border. Bus companies and commercial vans are showing up loaded with people from New York City.

Coming to Hazleton, Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, too, Vic said.

There’s Dominicans in Hazleton.

What’s in Wilkes-Barre?

Just blacks, I think. Are there black Dominicans?

They’re different from regular blacks, Vic said.

How about Mexicans?

They’re not black, they’re Mexican.

No, I mean where they at, the Mexicans?

Everywhere, Vic said..

Any Puerto Ricans?

I’ve seen their little fringed flags hanging from rearview mirrors at the Walmart parking lot, Vic said.

Any Ricans in the Poconos?

Mostly Brooklyn blacks and Hispanics.

Are Puerto Ricans Hispanic?

Latinos they call them.

Latinos aren’t black.

I heard some Cubans are, Vic said.

Cubans are coming to the Poconos?

All from New York.

So what do we do about it?

We need to think about this getting worse and one day they all invade like a plague of locusts, Vic said.

Like the Mexicans did in Hazleton.

They were Dominicans.

The mayor said Mexicans.

He was lying to get publicity for himself, Vic said.

We could open carry deer rifles in public.

Want to put together a neighborhood watch?

If you want.

Who do we get to join?

Recruit on Facebook.

My wife uses social media all the time for cat pictures. She can help us with that, Vic said.

A New Yorkers keep out page.

What about New Jersey?

That’s a whole other problem.

There’s a lot of Jews in New Jersey, Vic said.
