Broadway is dark, the city’s 1.1 million public school students are home from school, and the Big Apple’s 27,000 restaurants will close their doors to diners Tuesday — but none of those warnings could keep Mayor Bill de Blasio from a trip to his favorite public gym in Brooklyn on Monday morning.

“Text I just received (from someone who is definitely not making this up): ‘I just walked by DeBlasio [sic] going into the Y to work out so YOLO?'” a Twitter user named Teddy Goff wrote at 10:08 a.m.

Hizzoner went to the Prospect Park YMCA, a rep said, noting that he arrived around 9 a.m. and left about an hour later.

The mayor’s continued gym-rat routine — which includes a 12-mile drive from Gracie Mansion to Park Slope with his NYPD detail — had some of his former staffers fuming.

“He went to the f–king gym? Jesus!” said one shocked ex-staffer.

Rules are for the little people.

[goldstategop]

He’s a Democrat and is entitled to flout the rules. Rules are for the Little People, doncha know.

[blueunicorn6]

Why, it’s almost like the Democrats are just using Coronavirus to try to score political points.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Rules are for the little people.

Besides, if you're important enough to break them, you'll probably get a special cleaning of the equipment. Special, like you.

[Old Yeller]

You would think with the hundreds of millions that he and his wife stole from government coffers, that he would have built himself a private gym.

It’s good to be the Kommisar ...

De Blastio for President! ( sarc.)

[Bob434]

predicted that ya he was gonna do this- and he’ll likely force restaurants to open up just for him and his family-

[dowcaet]

I know. Imagine that. In a time of crisis when the nation needs to unite the Democrats are playing politics. Thank God they put nation above party! 😷

[ConservativeInPA]

Law for thee, but not for me.

[Jaded]

Rules are only for the little people.

[treetopsandroofs]

Perhaps he was worried about the home exercise equipment...

[Magic Fingers]

What?

[Beowulf9]

Yes, and De Blasio knows the inside scoop!

[shadeaud]

Wait till the summer when he closes all the beaches and pools ( except for the antics by Chris Christie in Jersey}

[HIDEK6]

I knew this would happen.

Hey butthole! “We” all have to make sacrifices.
