This is just nuts, 50k deaths now and we'll double Italy's deaths tomorrow after only 2 weeks have gone by since we passed them! Hopefully this curve drops dramatically or 100k by August is a lock.
this is what i came to post earlier before i got sidetracked by the disinfectant injections video <Lmaoo>
 
There's people out and about all over bruvva

"Essential workers" packed on the subways etc

The "lockdown" is just closing down businesses and wrecking people's finances really. Not preventing transmission.

P.S. A. Cuomo allegedly has nipple rings and likes getting choked
I'll say up here, some places seem like a ghost town but other places are unusually busy. Convenience stores up here are packed to the gills all the time now. The shutdown has basically just shifted traffic from some places to others up here.
 
The really crazy thing is a few crowded cities are the vast majority of cases.

But we are to busy griping about something stupid Trump said to figure out what to do with overcrowded cities and mass transit

Tokyo, Moscow, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing, are all bigger than NYCs subway; Mexico City, Paris and London are around the same size. Granted we don't know much about China's real numbers but are any of the other cities and their states/provinces doing as bad as New York? What in the hell happened here?

The numbers here simply do not lie. Anywhere we have mass transit we got fucked. Even the ones shuttled from NJ spread it over there.

The numbers are frightening in regards to mass transit.

But how are the other cities/states I listed numbers so much lower than New Yorks? Seoul has 628 cases, Mexico City has 2815, Moscow has 3572, London 18000, Paris 17000.

NYC - 146 000!!

How in the hell does that work?

There was a time in February when DeBlasio told people to go out and live a normal life and enjoy the city. They also went to fewer subway cars causing more people to cram in.

I always go on here about the danger of this being low. I believe the stats but I also don't mind doing this if the precautions do help.

There were a ton of people out today on trails biking and walking, it was a gorgeous day. I hope every out ends up ok. It's just my brother and my girlfriend I'm seeing during quarantine. I hope all the older people out are ok. I'll be listening to local news over the next two weeks.

I know in Seoul they wear masks and are sticklers for social distancing even on subways. I've actually heard the Moscow railway is much cleaner and well ventilated. But their cases seem to be spiking now.

But it really does not matter. For some reason here mass transit seems to be Satan in regards to spreading this

Federal prison tensions rise amid COVID lockdowns; activists want releases
Link

Efforts to contain the rapid spread of COVID-19 in Canada's federal prisons have led to an increase in tensions that have prompted correctional officers to use force on at least two occasions in recent days, according to a prominent prisoner rights group.


Release violent prisoners, what could possibly go wrong?

We're still about two weeks out from the big wave. They're going to regret this decision.

Your sentence structure is atrocious, try this:

"Not sure there could be a more intellectually dishonest assertion than you actually wanting to understand what's going on"

And you're wrong, my question was not rhetorical. NYS has more infections than any country in the world (outside of the US) and mass transit is not the only factor.

20% of NYC having antibodies is huge. Assuming the new R0 is correct (4-5), they're 60% away from herd immunity. In rural areas you're probably looking at sub-5% immunity; not even on the map in terms of being able to return to normal life eventually.

Perhaps.
I'm guessing they can put the field hospitals back up pretty quick if need be and turn around to NYC if need be, for that matter. I hope it won't be necessary.

To my knowledge this the first time a Provincial leader has set out the eventual goal.

There are constant questions directed to the Premiers, and you will here regular people as the same things to each other constantly, about when we will lift this or ease that. I have been trying to explain to them that’s before you can theorize a timeline, you need to have a goal, and so far none of our leaders has explained a goal, so “how long until we get there?” Is unanswerable.

He’s going to catch a lot of flak for this, though, because any position is attackable, and so it’s safer politically to have no position at all. Combine that with the fact that almost every young professional I talk to or hear from thinks the plan is to stay in this state until there is a vaccine and it has been fully disseminated, and any information to the contrary is absolutely going to be seen as deviating from the current safe path to take unnecessary risks for morally reprehensible reasons (ie money over lives).

The other argument that gets put out is that there is no argument that Hers Immunity will actually work, so it is a deadly gamble to take. That being the case though, we may as well give up on this lock down, go about our lives and let the chips fall, because there is no other way this ends.

Honestly, with the amount of infections there herd immunity may be more of a default than a decision. :( I'm unclear what the current consensus is on this approach.

I would think that we should stick to a national strategy rathan than a provincial one else we risk them interfering with each other.
