crossed 700 dead in the US... almost 54k cases. NY is roughly half of that, but it's everywhere... NJ: 17, Cali: 11, Michigan: 9, Louisiana: 11, Georgia: 12, etc
Olympics canceled... we'll see if the numbers skyrocket now, or they have a secret sauce...

By Easter he'll be back to calling it a hoax and a coup attempt and half this board will tag along.
Do you know how warm it was that day? That's like perfect transmission conditions, but yeah, no explosion. However, many feel where the virus has its best chance of transmissibility is in close contact situations. Not like shaking hands close contact, but being in close proximity for hours or days.
Dr. Paul Auwaerter, the Clinical Director for the Division of Infectious Diseases at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine echoes this finding,
“If you have a COVID-19 patient in your household, your risk of developing the infection is about 10%….If you were casually exposed to the virus in the workplace (e.g., you were not locked up in conference room for six hours with someone who was infected [like a hospital]), your chance of infection is about 0.5%”
He's already laid the groundwork to pin responsibilty for the recession on the cities cities and states, accuusations of disloyalty to the country aren't far off.
I would say Germany is handling their situation very well. 159 deaths/33K cases for a .05 mortality rate (bad flu season). Our population is 4x the size. Per capita: US: 175, Germany: 159. We each reported our first case around the same time.
i could very well be wrong because i'm not read up on it well, but posters here were saying germany has been somewhat monkeying around with the reported deaths... citing pneumonia as the cause of death when it started wit covid, etc
Not saying we're doing bad, just pointing out that while NY might be in the lead here, this thing is everywhere. Prolly gonna get worse before it gets better.
And now we're up to 779 deaths just like that... ... definitely another record day here in the US.
EDIT: gonna wait for worldometers to confirm, but
Looks like NY is breaking at the seams... 100+ today...
Besides this “It's a lot of money but less than the $750 million he threw away on a boondoggle "Buffalo Billion" solar panel factory” what are you seeing that’s edited? The RCP article is attributed to the exact same other and includes every line the NYP article does.
Cuomo made a poor decision in 2015 and is trying to blame others. He needs to shut the up. He’d been doing a good job up until this point.
People congregating at Zilker Park like it's a holiday. Oy.
What I quoted has been left out, for some reason that's apparently fairly partisan, lol
Hey look, I don't like Cuomo, stated so in another thread a few days ago, but nobody saw this thing coming in '15. And we're here now, NY clearly needs all the help they can get. Frankly, it's pretty clear the buck stops with him.
I feared for them. As I've said many times, check all the boxes. The "brightside" is we're not seeing similar explosions in the other major states, which will hopefully mean other states can potentially aid New York.
I'll give you another bright side. New York's death total didn't increase from Sunday to Monday, so that "sudden e" was probably delayed information finally being tallied.

This means perhaps New York saw 50 deaths Sunday and 50 deaths Monday and then they all got tallied just today. Have a hard time believing no one passed Sunday to Monday.
We'll see tomorrow. Adding 5k cases a day would certainly spell a lot of trouble.
RCP on mobile is a disaster to read so it took me a sec to see what you pointed out. Not sure why it’s missing as every other paragraph appears there and removing that one paragraph doesn’t change the gist of the article.
I just find it stupid for Cuomo to try and blame Trump when Cuomo chose not to restock his own state’s supply. The two of them seemed to be working fairly well up until this, pointing fingers now does no one any good.
If someone has the ventilators now and won't let them go....
The narrative works a lot better if we skip over the detail that even the federal government skimped on it too back in the day, and we're about to find out what other states skimped on it also. But, frankly, nobody was expecting this in '15. The last big one we had on this was a 100 years ago.
I do agree that politicizing and pointing fingers doesn't help. Not for Cuomo, not for Trump (who made a sport out of that). Cuomo and/or any other governor can only look at the federal government now, hopefully he gets the help he needs, not because of him, but because of his cons uents.
Yes, let's hope NY is in the 50ish range. That will quell some fears it's not exponentially increasing.
Could be. The stats can be fudged innumerable ways.
Encouraging. From that report, the virus likes a specific range
In a new paper published on the open-data site SSRN, the researchers found that all cities experiencing significant outbreaks of COVID-19 have very similar winter climates with an average temperature of 41 to 52 degrees Fahrenheit, an average humidity level of 47 to 79 percent with a narrow east-west distribution along the same 30-50 N” la ude. This includes Wuhan, China, South Korea, Japan, Iran, Northern Italy, Seattle, and Northern California. It could also spell increasing trouble for the Mid-Atlantic States and -- as temperatures rise -- New England.
