New York, California, and Washington have many more cases than anyone else. If you can get builds done in those cases quickly (NY will likely use dorms that are already standing and just modify them), then the Corps can move along as other states pop.
Corpse of Engineers can’t even wipe their dam r-sez with the hundreds of millions they spend on the problems they create.
What are they going to do in uncharted viral waters?
Chino should call out the national guard
Army corps of engineers??? That’s not only pointless it useless
I gotta figure that NY metro area will end up being the hardest hit in the end, due to population density and the use of mass transit. I hope we can get this behind us as quickly as possible but it seems only logical that NY area will see the fastest and widest spread of Covid19.
CA and WA are hit first, mostly because these are places where incoming flights from the far east land, and the population of Asian community. Just, statistically speaking, more likely to have social interaction with someone who recently came back from the hot spots. WA appears to be the most deadly spot, in part because it spread around one particular home for the elderly who are at higher risk of death.
The two curiosities are why it it Iran and Northern Italy so fast and hard. For Italy, I read it had something to do with Milan importing a lot of textiles for the fashion trade from China. But Iran? And in Iran, the disease seems to have spread among the upper echelons first, the elite, the political class etc. What’s the nexus there? Seems suspicious.
Generally speaking the less dense the population, either city by city, block by block, or house by house, the less likely for contagion. That the US, outside of the cities, is not very densely populated and that we are food and energy independent could be are saving grace if this thing gets out of hand and we have to “blockade” Asia and Europe for several months. But I hope it all blows over quickly and every takes proper precautions.
