(5,083 are presumed to also be coronavirus deaths. If those are included in national deaths, which I am not sure of, then 26% of all deaths in the US are from the five boroughs of New York City.) Expect those numbers to change a bit. Cases are coming down in New York and going up in other areas.
May 14, 20205 yr repugs are attacking the whistleblower again today. it's what they do to protect their orange overlord.

Stay away from me. And yes, we do need to spread out infections. The states that have reopened are seeing their numbers sky rocket. It shows risk calculation is prevalent in policymaking. An ugly side, but it does exist. Your skyrocket claim isn't substantiated by data currently. Florida and Georgia have been on the decrease despite opening. Now it is early and can take 2 weeks for new numbers to reflect.

(We are out and its out just about everywhere here for reasons) I noticed both of them removed the one direction requirements to their aisles. Probably because they didn't want to be shot over forcing them to only go one way in an aisle

They won't show the raw numbers and just the other day released a graph showing a steep decline, but conveniently leaving off days, and putting other days completely out of order to achieve that decline. It's a sheet show down here.

Initial outbreaks in the US were due to larger crowds, like Mardi Gras (which is why New Orleans was so bad) and the biotech conference in Boston. New York City is the biggest, densest urban area in the country. It will always have a disproportionately high rate of cases and deaths. Other areas like almost all of the Great Plains states (such as Kansas to North Dakota) will never even things out that much, because those states lack the raw population numbers, and the dense environments that fuel the spread.

Yeah true the initial projections probably didn't consider that New York City was different than Zeona, South Dakota.

My concern with my neighborhood is that we do have a large migrant population and for whatever reason, that community was not following protocol. Even today, while I do see masks (they arn't allowed in without them), they are still entering through the exits, going up aisles the wrong way (when that was still in effect), etc. So for the most part, people have been great. More polite than normal even.

I know a few people didn’t follow it, but most did and helped create order in the store. It’s now more chaotic.

I still see people walk in without them and you can't tell they know they shouldn't be doing that but they can't stop themselves from being selfish arseholes

The point is that while the percentages may change, they are not going to change much. There is not going to be another city, or even state, that equals New York City's numbers, unless we have a second wave, in which case New York City would skyrocket for a second time as well.

Georgia just reported 461 new cases overnight... https://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/coronavirus/article242728906.html Florida and Georgia, as of yesterday, declined 14% and 12% respectively over the past week. I don't find new cases to be the end all be all, too many variables. Hospitalizations over the next month will tell us a lot. At the end of the day, I don't see anyone offering an effective way other than we've got to learn to live with the virus.
May 14, 20205 yr Spain, Italy, Belgium, Tehran, Ireland and UK have densities more in line with the top 10-30 US areas than NYC and they are all getting wrecked. I am firmly in the camp that believes that when we fully reopen, we are going to see brutal outbreaks in places like Kansas City or Nashville. These red state capitols have the perfect mix of pandemic rebellion and population density to get smashed. I don't understand why Fox News and the Trumpsters continue to double, triple and quadruple down on stupid. We already know what happens when countries reopen, its happening across the world. I don't understand how anybody thinks it is positive to peddle stupid shite like "social distancing is bogus" and "masks inhibit my freedom". That stupid shite needs to be killed every time somebody says it, killed with UV light and Lysol injections. But hey, whatever, we are going to reopen. Everybody will get to bet their lives on their cockadoodle denialist theories.
