Maybe because dumb a** Cuomo JUST ordered the buses and other mass transportation to actually be cleaned every day.
Because Seoul doesn’t have a power mad wanna be Pol Pot liberal/progressive mayor?
I bet the mayor of Seoul didn’t force nursing homes to accept elderly and positive Covid-19 patients either.
There are financial incentives for checking the box.
There are two essential questions posed.
Why are coronavirus cases predominately in Democrat controlled areas?
Answer: Democrats control metropolitan areas. High population densities lead to widespread transmission.
Why does Seoul only have two reported deaths?
Answer: One is that there are only two reported deaths. There may be many more either hidden by family or by their government.
Secondly, South Korea placed draconian procedures and laws after their MERS outbreak. When the coronavirus appeared in South Korea, widespread testing was mandatory. Citizens could not refuse. Citizens that tested positive were immediately detained and isolated - imagine hospital prison. Anyone who tested positive had their mobile phone data and credit card data seized to track past movements. Anyone they came into contact with was paid a special visit from government medical squads. If they tested positive, see above. Hot spots like that mega-church were shut down. All members isolated until they tested negative twice.
Third, they might have gotten lucky. There are now over thirty strains identified. Some are less virulent, less severe.
Why Do Democrat States Have the Highest Number of Coronavirus Deaths?.
Subways the went to fewer cars and less cleaning now they went back to more cares and started to disinfect them to little to late,democrat logic at work.
Liberal apologists expect us to believe that it has to do with population density, as if New York is more tightly packed than South Korea.
Very interesting.
I suspect that the difference is culture.
As of today, South Korea has had 10,804 cases with 254 deaths for a death rate of 2.35%. A total of 9,283 or 85.9% of the South Korean cases have recovered, with 1,267 cases remaining active.
Many Asian countries take very seriously the threat of infectious disease, since they still actively remember SARS. I think that South Koreans immediately started practicing social distancing and wearing face masks when the news first hit about the new virus in China. I also think that they managed to keep the virus out of nursing homes, so their most vulnerable people were never exposed. In addition, the rate of obesity in South Korea is low, which is probably another factor in how they kept the death rate so low (obesity is one of the conditions that increases severity of Covid-19). Note that much of this is conjecture based on my knowledge of Asian cultures; I would love to see expert analyses of how South Korea handled the pandemic.
New York City, OTOH, is run by Democrats, who are experts at getting elected by appealing to emotions without having any real qualifications for performing the job of an elected official. (AOC is a prime example of that!) So when the crisis hit, NYC did not have anyone competent to make the right decisions. There is also the American culture of “me first” which is all too prevalent, especially among the young. Their attitude is, “Why should I have to be forced into social distancing when it’s only old people that are dying (and the faster they die off, the better)?” So, the spoiled brat culture is a factor in the spread of virus in highly Democrat places.
Third World hygiene. Next question?
Why Korea? I don’t know.
Why Democrat states? Urban crowding.
The decisions democrats make are always based on a political agenda, which is why their decisions always have destructive consequences. When decisions are made without political considerations, but solely on what is best for the public, they have a very high percentage of success.
“Are Democrat states over reporting deaths”
Duh. If the feds will give them money for it, the Dems will over-report anything.
Since democrats vote the dead... this might help Biden.
Seoul, having suffered other Chinese viruses in the recent past, may actually have more immunity to the latest corona virus. As for New York and California, there is no doubt that political correctness in the form of open borders and cultural celebrations of minorities in defiance of being prudent caused them more suffering. It only takes one bad decision in the beginning to mushroom into something really big when you have exponential growth.
Also, why wasn’t Rome overwhelmed?
The democrats blocked the needed medicine.
It was plain murder.
All politics all the time with democrats.
Never vote for a democrat as you can literally lose your life!
How are they counting their deaths. Are they counting every death of someone who has covid as a covid death or are they calling it something else. When these type things come out they need to ensure they are comparing apples to apples.
Same reason blue states are blue. They cheat and game the system.
According to some nurse reporting videos I have seen, NYC is committing severe malpractice with patients in it’s hospitals. The last one I saw made me tremble.
It’s easy... SANCTUARY POLICIES
Because of the epic failure corruption, arrogance and incompetence of these two idiots in NY
