Sure explains to me how this thing spread so fast. I unfortunately live in NY, we went from 900 cases to 70,000 in only 11 days. My brother lives in New York city and said the streets have been abandoned, so how is this spreading so fast unless it’s being done deliberate? Perfect virus to spread, where it can last for days on a surface.

“so how is this spreading so fast unless it’s being done deliberate?”

My guess is health care workers (Nurses,Some doctors,technicians and aides etc) coupled with a highly developed public transit system. Exposed all day to concentrated amounts of infectious patients.

Once they leave work they break protocol, if they haven’t done so during work ie: remove gloves,gowns, don't change shoes etc and get on a subway touching multiple surfaces along the way. Railings,seats and overhead straps perfect medium for transmission in a crowded environment.

Did you watch the video of the subway?

The filmer said "We're all gonna f***in die".

Easiest way to spread it....have 5 or 6 people stay at home in same space with someone who is infected with covid 19.
