As New York’s coronavirus death
toll grows, new evidence
shows we’re bending ‘the curve’

Staying at home is working. That’s the message that New York’s most powerful politicians and health experts have delivered this week as data from the Empire State’s hospitals show the tsunami of coronavirus cases is beginning to slow down, even as the death toll soars.  “Where do we go from here? First, keep doing what we’re doing. Stay home because that works,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters during his daily briefing in Albany on Friday. “We are flattening the curve, we must continue to flatten the curve.”  Cuomo’s presentation included new stats that showed how the slowdown was helping.

Comments:

Someone needs to ask Governor Cuomo, how many of the 7,844 coronavirus deaths could have been avoided if he allowed the use of the anti malaria drug to physicians in NY to treat the elderly and patients with underlying conditions at the very beginning of contracting the virus. Probably a lot. This man has some explaining to do.

Maybe if they would actually count ONLY those who died of the Virus, their count would be much less!

Reports from the UK say that more than half the fatalities would not have made it past 12/31 anyway. Situation here cannot be very different. We need to get honest non-political answers to two questions.(1) How many really died because of the virus? (2) Was it worth it?

It’s interesting how few facts this article gives, and it’s not even the deceptive rag known as the new york slimes. What a lousy mayor. What a diseased city. As usual the rest of us have to pay for their lack of competence and integrity and abundance of greed and malice.

This could just mean that most of the susceptible people have already been infected. Of course, that's too simple for high-powered bureaucrats and government officials to consider! If fewer susceptible people remain to be infected, the curve will naturally ''bend.''

"bending the curve" - good "jockeying the numbers" - bad As poster #2 says, we need a true count of people who die of ONLY corona virus, not of something else PLUS corona virus. I was surprised when Dr. Brix, a prominent member of the covid-19 task force, was quoted as admitting, in effect, that this is what is being done, and done without autopsies.

Could Cuomo be held libel for deaths by refusing hydroxychloronique/zpack combo? The ‘anecdotal’ numbers of people helped are growing. Civil lawsuits from wrongful death could keep him busy through campaign season..

105,380 people died from (not with) abortions in New York in 2017 according to most recent survey done by the liberal Guttmacher Institute. Just throwing that data out there for some perspective on how good New York is at preventing the deaths of vulnerable people.

This should effectively kill the persistent push by liberals for mass transit around the country in places where it is not needed. For example, if Los Angeles and Houston had no choice but to jump in a cab that had about 30 different sets of germs, or to get on a subway or railcar with polls held by hundreds of people over the last two days, maybe they would be in just as bad a shape as New York City. Too many bodies on too little land is not a good thing!

Well, at some point with or without any measures, the curve would bend on its own. So this claim (which will be made ad nauseam by all the dictator wannabes) is an absolutely worthless assertion. I believe that it might be instructive to look at (1) Sweden, and (2) the handful of states in the U.S, that didn't go with the most extreme measures, to see where their curves started to bend. It was very notable that those non-conforming (non-panicking) states had significant pressure put on them to conform, almost certainly because the governors of the other states didn't want to have any comparison problems down the road. Should be most interesting.

It wasn't a tsunami and nothing is soaring. Even in NYC the virus count and the death toll is far lower than predicted. This is nothing but a fluff article that took three people to write.

In Kansas, 50 dead, a bit under 1,200 cases known. Over 11,000 negative test results. Less than 300 hospitalized in the entire state in a population of 3 million. One person in 10,000 hospitalized. One person in 60,000 has died of Wuhan flu. OK, it seems like our staying at home has things pretty well under control here. We need to start getting back to normal. Soon.

Along the lines of what #11 said.... I wonder if the spread of the virus in New Your CITY is caused largely by huge crowds of people cramming, cheek-by-jowl, onto the subway trains? This just seems to me to be plain common sense. The media yap-yap-yappers blather on about "why isn't California seeing the same rate of infection as New York?" Look at the 'county-level' data in New York, it appears to me that the bulk of the cases are in new York CITY. Outside of that area, the numbers are pretty low. Shut down the subways. There'll be a BUNCH of media squalling, but the people in charge want to 'bend the curve'?..... I think THAT is the KEY to reducing the rate of new infections in NY CITY, the 'Belly of the Beast'.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
