New York has more than 10,000 coronavirus cases and over half of them are patients younger than 50, governor says

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday that the state was reckoning with a significant rise in the number of coronavirus cases, the majority of which were identified in residents younger than 60. Cuomo announced there were 10,356 confirmed cases across the state, 6,211 of which are in New York City, and 54% of which are from patients who are between 18 and 49 years old.

“38 percent were notably younger — between 20 and 54.”

RUN from those kinds of statistics, they are done that way to hide details that can make a lie of a “younger” claim.

When they lump people into an age “20 and 54” category, they are INTENTIONALLY not showing you just how many are actually between (a) “20 and 25”, (b) “26 and 30”, (c) “31 and 39”, (d) “40 and 49”, and only lastly “50 and 54”. Additionally they even hide everyone below 54 as if they are all “young”. If they do not tell you age group numbers in 5 to ten year increments, numbers in those increments are too small, so they prefer lumping them all together. It is not a transparent way of reporting the numbers. It is done to hide numbers.

Swine flu under Obammy in 2009: 60 million with the flu. 300,000 in hospitals. 12,000 DIED!!! Yet the commie MSM did not tell us. Go figure!

....

Exactly!

And FR’s resident pearl clutchers were NOWHERE to be seen during Swine Flu! Isn’t it interesting that they are now eagerly following the Fake New’s lead on COVID-19? Check out their sources for the latest hysteria concerning this! I guess CNN, Reuters and other Leftist rags are now go to sources for the latest hysteria! My how things change in just 10 years!

"The Johns Hopkins COVID-19 ledger says New York has 60 deaths.
If Cuomo is telling the truth about 10,000 infections, that means New York has a 'Case Fatality Rate' of 0.6%.

That's better than Switzerland, which has one of the lowest CFRs in Europe.
"

That's true, if all of the infected live through it!

I goofed on my #24 Comment.

I said just 7% of the infections in Washington state were in people under age 60.

Wrong!

Just 7% of the DEATHS in Washington state are for people under age 60.

Okay knock off the real math when you post!

The Johns Hopkins COVID-19 ledger says New York has 60 deaths.

If Cuomo is telling the truth about 10,000 infections, that means New York has a “Case Fatality Rate” of 0.6%.

That’s better than Switzerland, which has one of the lowest CFRs in Europe.

I’m seeing that we had 85 deaths reported today. Total deaths from 216 to 301.

Pretty steep increase, it looks certain the death toll will be in thousands.

Yes it does. The world is rapidly changing.

This past week has been consumed with getting my teams working virtual with Google Meet and Zoom. Now we are setting up a web portal for our clients to order our product and services online.

We live in interesting times.

From whence did you receive your 99.5% prophetic utterance?

Please provide a clinically referenced source.

If you don’t have one, please provide an apology and retraction with a quote of you’re ad hoc statistic, because THIS SITE REQUIRES SOURCES.

Thank you in advance

That’s not correct.

Went from 256 to 302 yesterday. 46 total deaths.

On the negative side, there have already been 23 reported for Sunday (GMT) and we’re only a little over an hour into it.

I drove to NYC on March 16. I was the only car in the Holland tunnel. It was creepy. I kinda joked to myself, I am the lone survivor....

Returning home the next day was treacherous. There were so many truck drivers on the thruway. I had to drive slow to let them pass. Some obviously were doing overtime because they were driving below the speed limit.

The mortality rate for people under 40 years old is 0.2%. The mortality rate for 40-49 year old is 0.4%.

Which according to my calculator, means a survival rate of 99.6%. (100 - 0.4 = 99.6%)

The mortality rate for an 80 year old or older jumps to 14.8%.

Something that would have to be guessed at since you are never going to be told until years later when looking at data..if then.

This does hit men more than women so that might be part of it..but you do bring up an interesting point.

Could be a lot of HIV people in that group

More or less than the swine flu in 2009? (12,000, in case you forgot).
