Mask On, Mask Off: NYC Mayor Adams Discovers That 'Karma Is A B*tch'

New York City Mayor Eric Adams contracted the novel Coronavirus Sunday after attending a "super-spreader" event in Washington, resulting in more than 60 positive cases.

The first-term Democrat woke up with a rough voice Sunday and took a PCR test that came back positive, spokesperson Fabien Levy said in a statement. Earlier Sunday, Levy had tweeted that Adams had taken a rapid test that came back negative but took the extra test out of an abundance of caution.

Adams has no other symptoms but has revoked all public events for the week, including an interview on MSNBC and an event at Coney Island Sunday.

In the meantime, he will be taking antiviral medications and working remotely, Levy said.

New York City has been experiencing a steady resurgence in virus cases over the past month. It’s now averaging around 1,800 new cases per day - not measuring the many home tests that go unreported to health officials. That’s triple the number in early March when the city began relaxing masking and vaccination rules.

Adams’ past week was full: he spoke at the National Action Network convention on Wednesday and attended that night’s gala, appeared in-studio on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ on Thursday before joining Robert De Niro at the ReelAbilities Film Festival, went to the New York Yankees’ opening day Friday and was in Albany on Saturday.

And on April 2, Adams was in attendance for Washington’s annual Gridiron dinner, rubbing shoulders with Washington’s elite - at least 67 of whom have since tested positive for the virus, according to various reports.

The super-spreader event has been responsible for dozens of high-profile cases, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Reps. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Joaquin Castro, D-Tex., Senator Susan Collins, Jill Biden’s press secretary Michael LaRosa, among others.

More than 600 people attended the dinner at the Renaissance Washington Hotel. Guests were asked to show proof of vaccination.

The dinner had been called off in 2021 and 2020 because of COVID. Most attendees at the dinner, which included members of Congress and other Administration officials - were maskless.

The Gridiron Club dinner is an off-camera, off-the-record event for members of the media. Politicians and other a-list figures are invited to its annual dinner.

The event features a Republican speaker, a Democratic speaker, and a speaker representing the sitting Administration, along with a series of sketches performed by club members.
