New York state now has more confirmed coronavirus cases than any country in the world
- Thread starter .Detective.
- Start date
- COVID
Why NY alone and not any of the other large trading and transportation states like California, D.C., or Georgia?
Never stop talking about how Donald Trump promises "1million tests by the end of the week" on March 3. The US wouldn't reach 1million tests until the end of month.
My friend legit heard somebody say that here in Ohio. Said the only true protection from it was in the arms of Jesus.
I hope all textbooks in the future will be digital so this will follow him for all time.
We toppled that a long time ago. Only 2000-3000 H1N1 deaths were actually confirmed. That 12k figure you see cited a lot is a backwards-looking estimate based on statistical modeling
The US total is probably in the 30-50k range, or even higher. We aren't doing any testing post mortem, so anyone who is hospitalized with an unknown respiratory illness and dies doesn't get counted unless a diagnosis is made before death
Yep - it'll take until at least January of 2022 to get updated mortality data for 2020, much less detailed causes of death. We'll be able to infer...which might be all we're able to do.

I have lived here all my life and it's always one disaster after another. I'm just so tired. I just want boredom for the rest of my life. I'm sick of something always happening.
and all I hear are police sirens now. I'm in Brooklyn in a somehwta hard hit area. my office closed and I'm working from home but my girlfriend has to go work everyday.
I'm filled with dread and anxiety and weariness every single day since this happened, what if she catches it. What if my mother? or her mother in the Bronx? A diabetic who loves to guilt trip my girlfriend into visiting her. I hate that woman....
cant we just one decade where nothing happens? Just a super boring decade of nothing...

Rochester still (mostly) hanging in there. For a major metropolitan area, things could definitely be a lot worse over here. I'm still going into work 3 days a week since my job is considered essential, but afterwards, I almost always just head directly home
We often brag about not needing a car to get around NY and I suspect that is the culprit in why so many NYers have this thing. Damn near everyone uses or has friends, family and or co-workers that use the MTA daily thus this thing got spread all over the city like wildfire.
DC is trending towards bad right now (although the District is projecting a peak around June/July).
But anecdotally DC started social distancing early on - minus some instances around the Mall and Southwest Waterfront,
I am in NYS and so is most of my family. My mom is an essential worker and is, as of yesterday, a confirmed case. Losing her would devastate me. I'm in a more remote/rural area than her, but I know we've still been hit and I know people who are likely infected. Things are still going to get worse from here.
Because it is run by shitty machine politicians and NYers are dying for it. Rather than have an effective beuracracy with effective leaders loyalty matters before capabilities.
I don't like the Trump administration either, but I'm not sure how anyone can magically make this go away. Devastating viruses come along almost every 100 years or so. It sucks.
Yea, it's everywhere in the city. My boss, his wife, and their newborn all had it, and they definitely spread it to other cast members of their other Broadway show.
All my coworkers were super nervous when we got the texts, but so far I've had zero symptoms for weeks. Just trying to keep myself from as many humans as possible.

So sad. :( Heart's with NYC. Hope the impact ends as minimal as it can given the scope of the crisis they're facing.
Singapore, Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo, are not perfect petri dishes to infect a lot of people very quickly?
The NYS/C government absolutely fucked this up. Cuomo refusing to allow to city to issue shelter in place, Cuomo reducing 20000 hospital beds, BDB selling the city's stockpile of ventilators that Bloomberg bought, BDB telling people to go to their favorite bars and restaurants to support small businesses. The beuracracies being the definition of unprepared and innefective despite the city having a larger budget than most states. Residents of the city just generally being arrogant unhygienic slobs.
I'm surprised that MI is double what we have in IL... (so basically Chicago). Thankfully I can work from home, but I assumed that it was going to be bad because of people needing to take the bus or the L (our trains) for work.
I'm just shocked at the difference between Chicago and New York...
Doesn't cali have a testing backlog?
Probably strike Tokyo from your list.
The fucking mayor still gets driven everyday to Prospect Park to take a stroll.

Don't remind me of De Blasio. I've given up on his ass a long time ago. Both him and Cuomo allowed this to explode.
While there are certainly cultural and societal reasons for why NY and California appear to have differing impacts from coronavirus, and this is just a snapshot of two cities within those two states, something like this cannot be ignored:
On the same day the Mayor of SF is telling people to get ready for a prolonged lockdown, the mayor of NYC is telling people to get out and go see a movie.
California has not been immune to being impacted by coronavirus, and the true scope is probably not yet known, but leadership, at the state level and of the two major metropolitan areas, acted relatively swiftly and exercised smart judgement, something that cannot be said for a lot of other places around America.
Agree 100%. DeBlasio waited way too late to order stay at home and close the schools when other cities and states already shut down. Plus the reports of idiots packing the bars and restaurants in NYC just before the shutdown made things even worse.
Cuomo and Blasio are criticized for taking it's sweet time ordering a lock down or even telling people to get ready for one.
Anyone who had to use our public transportation, especially during rush hours, should have known it was gonna be bad in NYC.
I posted this on the main thread but some are not following social distancing still. My cousin's gf just came over and I dont believe she washed her hands when she came in. Also apparently there her mom and herself were in quarantine at one point because her moms place had a confirmed case. Both their results came negative but i suppose my cousin gf feels she is immune or something. Christ I really wish she wouldn't come here just for everyone's sake I mean she can still get it or we could get it and pass it to her. It's just not safe. Either way, I'm boned of anyone in the house gets the virus as much as I try to be super safe about it. Sorry for my rant. Wish more people cared.
Michigan is on further lockdown after tonight until May 1st (almost definitely to be extended again in a couple weeks) and dumbfucks are still coming from down state to my area so I'm 100% expecting the number of cases in my county to jump significantly after the next couple weeks. We're not getting out of this anytime soon because so many people don't give a shit.
I think when you start comparing populations to confirmed cases of the disease, that becomes more evident. Honestly, it's kind of unnerving next to the US right now.

This website seems to let you sort data over population; take a look for yourself.
I wonder if American's will start rethinking the fantasy of "big city life" after this? I've always thought packing so many people into the least amount of space possible was a recipe for disaster. Those old high-rise apartments where you're basically living in a box stacked up on top of each other, all taking the same cramped old elevators, riding the old & filthy public transportation options... it never seemed ideal to me.
I hope with all my heart it only starts getting better.

There are pros and cons when it comes to health.
I can walk to a world class hospital with specialists that can tackle any problem that I might come in with in a quarter the time my parents can drive or get an ambulance to take them to the shitty local hospital where they'd then have to catch a helicopter to a better facility.
People where I grew up are heavily dependent on cars but in the city I live in now, I know tons of people who walk and bike to work every single day. I also have much better access to good, healthy food than they do. These factors contribute to the overall health of these communities. Obesity and heart disease are less of a factor.

They're claiming that they brought in new hires to do that, but the video I watched had a prison bus parked right next to the mass grave, clear as day.
NYC isn't even that big or dense compared to some of the cities out there in the world... that have way less corona cases. And the densest parts of the city actually has the lowest infection rates. Right now the highest death rates are in Queens, Bronx and Staten Island, which are more suburban / low-rise in nature.
Blame how poorly this crisis was managed and how nonseriously people took this a few weeks ago and not the fact that it's a big city, which made this a lot worse but isn't the root cause.
