Is this a trick question? Or....
Well supposedly it made it's way to NY in mid Feb and it we really didn't start testing till mid March, and that's when we knew the number of infected was high.
I'd imagine it would be slower for other states since they're not as dense as NYC.
My friend legit heard somebody say that here in Ohio. Said the only true protection from it was in the arms of Jesus.Man...it really sounds like you don't have faith in the healing power of Jesus.
I hope all textbooks in the future will be digital so this will follow him for all time.
We're at our peak or close to it.
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 modelingPretty sure America just topped the 1 year total for Swine Flu deaths, too
Trump administration just breaking a whole lot of records this year, huh
The true tragedy of Georgia, Florida, and LA won't be known for years
Always was. See the fuckery involved with the vietnam war.Trump doesn't want "high numbers" and by not testing it feeds into the right-wing narrative that COVID-19 is a hoax.
Death has become political. This is the country we live in now.
Why NY alone and not any of the other large trading and transportation states like California, D.C., or Georgia?

yup. perfect petri dish to infect a LOT of people, very quickly.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.
Singapore, Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo, are not perfect petri dishes to infect a lot of people very quickly?yup. perfect petri dish to infect a LOT of people, very quickly.

Doesn't cali have a testing backlog?Why NY alone and not any of the other large trading and transportation states like California, D.C., or Georgia?

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.
Cali and San Francisco have effective leadership.
The fucking mayor still gets driven everyday to Prospect Park to take a stroll.

Cuomo and Blasio are criticized for taking it's sweet time ordering a lock down or even telling people to get ready for one.Why NY alone and not any of the other large trading and transportation states like California, D.C., or Georgia?
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.I still say that is only because we(USA) are not testing nearly as much.
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.

This is incredibly sad
New York hires laborers to bury coronavirus victims on Hart Island potter’s field: report
New York City has hired laborers to bury coronavirus victims in its Hart Island potter’s field, as the death rate in the area continues to break records each of the last three days, Reuters re…thehill.com
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.I wonder if American's will start rethinking the fantasy of "big city life" after this?
