After being dragged by Independence Day walkers on social media, a man nicknamed “COVID Corey” apologized for potentially putting hundreds of Fire Island fans at risk of contracting the corona virus.

New Yorker Corey Hannon, 27, is one of the hundreds that seems who spent this weekend partying on the Long Island coastline – many of them seem to have left their masks at home.

However, a beach visitor found himself in hot water after publicly revealing that he was still recovering from the estimated COVID-19 case – the same day he left for Api Island. Hannon has not yet responded to The Post’s request for comment.

“F – k, you, Miss Rona. I think I have recovered,” he wrote in the July 4th Facebook update, which has since been removed.

Over the weekend, he is share video messages via Instagram which seems to be directed at an “evil troll” in particular, after the sick and maskless Hannon was seen among the other partiers.

“Everyone knows I have COVID,” he said. “I sat in my king’s bedroom and quarantined myself for eight days. . . and now I’m out celebrating. So go alone – k. I hope you all get f – – king COVID. “

In an effort to clear his name on Sunday, Hannon offering an eight minute video apology along with a timeline on Facebook, where he revealed that he had not received COVID test results before his Fire Island outing – which meant he could be in a virus upheaval on July 4.

“Because I failed to mention the date of my COVID timeline here the date is: June 22 – starts to feel sick. June 30, tested for the first time. July 3 left my apartment for the first time. July 4 went to the island of fire (12 days after my first symptoms), “he wrote, in addition to his extended apology.

Guidelines established by World Health Organization country that patients with coronavirus symptoms must isolate themselves for “10 days after symptom onset, plus at least 3 additional days without symptoms (including without fever and no respiratory symptoms)”.

By Hannon’s own account, he claimed his symptoms had subsided on June 30 – only eight days after his first symptoms.

“STILL WAITING FOR TEST RESULTS AND NOT POSITIVE TESTED FOR COVID TODAY,” he added. “Deep sleep.”

Hannon hopes to explain himself in the accompanying video where he started, “I’m sure you have all been waiting for this.”

He continued, “I apologize for the misunderstanding that I described on my social media. I apologize for the video posted to my story that everyone hopes. . . will get COVID. That is a video that should not be in my story. That is a video sent to a mutual friend. “

Hannon concluded in his statement, “I am not a murderer. I am not a bad person. I have made many mistakes in my life and I think I have paid the price for them … Cancel our culture that must be ended. The message I received, the threat death … is being followed, was derided from the train last night. That’s not good. We can’t tell people to kill themselves. “

Like 39 states in the US report an upward trend in the new COVID-19 case, the former flight attendant and fitness trainer was far from the only Fire Island traveler who failed to cover social distance.

“F – – k your mask. F – – k distances your social distance. F – – k of your vaccine, ” write one revelation like that, who was attacked in comments by his attitude.

One response compared the coronavirus with the HIV / AIDS epidemic, and claimed that “young gay men” had the privilege of not remembering the last time the community was in a health crisis.

“When the AIDS epidemic began, people did not initially understand how the virus was transmitted,” the commentator wrote. “We have just seen that many young gay men are infected and die in terrible ways. We, millions of people around the world, now understand that coronaviruses are highly contagious, and this picture makes me think that the people depicted are young enough to not remember how vulnerable, precarious, and valuable their strange life has historically been, especially in relation to transmission life-threatening virus. There is no PREP for Covid – at least not yet. “
