There is an emerging story that is being hidden under the carpet by everyone.
New York has passed California for the number of cases, and New York is _not_ reporting the total number of tests.
I suspect (cannot prove at this point) that they are in the process of surrendering (as we saw from Sacramento County yesterday) and can no longer successfully track and trace, particularly within NYC.
That was to be expected because the first case commuted to Grand Central Station.
My views on this subject have been rather obvious and irritating no doubt, but the word of the day is going to have to be:
Quarantine.
Not Voluntary quarantine.
Military Quarantine. Kurt Russell stuff...
No arguments from me with this.
Military quarantine, but no Kurt Russell stuff.
My new axe to grind on this disease is unsourced and speculation at this point. However, I think the logic is sound.
The US has a major health issue that makes us much more vulnerable to CV serious illness and deaths than China, S. Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Italy.
That is obesity.
I leave it as an exercise to think about what that means for the numbers....
