That is true. Our governor doesn’t believe in statewide bans on almost anything.
Trump threatens to quarantine NewYork and several other states. Cuomo calls it Anti-American and Anti-Social, threatens legal action against the Feds. So much for those demanding a federal quarantine when states threaten to sue, even those most in need of that action.https://www.the-sun.com/news/604376/andrew-cuomo-new-york-coroanvirus-slams-donald-trump/
I fear we are going to see a larger death-rate in the US than China, hopefully not as bad as Spain and Italy. The reason, we can't handle the sick. One of the reasons China was able to both mitigate the spread and limit the death rates, is that they tested widely, and isolated the sick within the medical care system (right away). That allowed them to monitor their condition, and limit spread. In Italy and Spain, they can't do that, and are instead sending people to isolate at home. This doesn't allow them to monitor their conditions, so when the virus ramps up, they don't have time to treat it, and it continues community spread. Germany, where things have been comparatively better, has more nurses per capita than any of the nations, so they can care for and monitor patients right away. That so far has led to a lower mortality rate, despite them having one of the highest rates of smoking in the world. Right now, we are leaning toward the Italy/Spain model, but with more testing. Sadly, that means the likely outcome is a higher mortality rate, just not as bad as Italy/Spain, because we are testing more.
Well there is a lot of questions about the legality of that. And a federal quarantine would mean shutting everything down.
Which is why those demanding that action do not have all the correct information at their disposal. Everyone is an expert at the moment in a situation this country has never faced before in these conditions. By that I mean air travel, car, products shipped overnight, freedom of movement and international exposure within hours. This is new territory, but the blame game by all sides is sickening.
I cannot believe you trust China’s numbers. Story today showed many times the runs delivered to hospitals than deaths reported. No way our death rate will be higher than China if the real numbers are used.
Who cares if China has more than we do?I don't believe them, either. So cool ... we're only No. 2 maybe.We have a f%ck-ton of infected people, numbers growing, as are number of dying. Getting worse and worse in several states, including those in the south and midwest. So maybe we're only No. 2. Huzzah! Let's open for business!
Why a travel advisory for NY, NJ, and Connecticut. Why not in Florida, Louisiana, and other places equally or harder hit than Connecticut?The addition of Connecticut seems completely random.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
@benorlin: *asteroid approaches*SCIENTISTS: If we don't stop this, it will destroy Earth.PEOPLE: Oh no. How many people has it killed so far?SCIENTISTS: None yet.PEOPLE, SUDDENLY ARMED WITH STATISTICS: Why, that's fewer than traffic accidents! Fewer than vending machines! Fewer than
Gonna get way worse before it gets better.The death toll of the coronavirus outbreak has reached 2,000 victims in the U.S., doubling within the span of two days.Hopefully the stay-at-home orders will start bringing down the numbers in 2-3 weeks. The problem is that many states are still business as usual.
Many of their own people don’t believe it either cuz they know if they ask the wrong questions, they could end up like dr #1 or in jail or both. So just shut up and help support your local wet market. Heard the salamander is going fast ...smack my lips. We got da “meat”
So, an underbritches guy moonlights as an epidemiologist who can’t get tested and he has all the answers from how screwed up the leadership is to where this disease is going...I think I’d rather hear what jockey is doing with their new line of crotch less panties
Because I know people from Wuhan, and they can report on the actual situation and the methods used to contain/suppress the spread. They are consistent with what China's government reports, and they aren't fans of the Government. Also, we aren't even reporting all the actual deaths. When a person dies of pneumonia despite testing negative for flu and other respiratory diseases, we are not testing for coronavirus. We say death by pneumonia. We don't even try to track down contacts and others that may have been infected. We just move on.
I thought this was a good analysis of the road ahead. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/03/29/coronavirus-strategy-economy-plan
