Of the 8,627 deaths in New York since the first mortality on March 14:
60% were men, 40% were women
83% of the deaths were among those age 60 and older
No matter the age, COVID-19 is a serous illness for many people with underlying chronic disease.
7,568 (88% (was 81%)) of those who died had at least one chronic disease, with the top three identified being:
Hypertension - 64% (was 65%)
Diabetes - 43%
Hyperlipidemia - 22% (was 23%)

I just inventoried my seeds and cleaned up some pots to plant them in.
Can’t wait to get going.
Let’s hope we all have great gardens this year. And also that we won’t end up really needing them.
As noted before, my suggestion is to ignore this FReeper. They have been called out twice for making statements and asserting them as fact, without providing references.
True, but I also have no intention of being caught off guard again.
I sure hope so! I planted a little earlier and had to cover my tomatoes Friday night. I have to do it again one night this week too. We lost another chicken yesterday to a fox or coyote. Still hoping to snare him.
Scott Gottlieb: Coronavirus Would Have Been ‘Far More Deadly than Spanish Flu’ If It Appeared in 1918
I’ll repeat what I’ve posted before. I did NOT plan on the shutdowns. I assumed, foolishly, that our CDC would do things like Taiwan, and SG. Cases would be caught, tested and they and their contacts quarantined. ‘We’ expected to be working from home for a while because we’ve done that before.
We prepped with the supply chain disaster in mind. Ie, what do we use on an everyday basis that comes from China at some point. And also ‘what can we stash at home and avoid trips to the store with germy people’?.
I’ve stashed and rotated TP for over a decade so I always have enough of that. It’s the other stuff I miss. We only really eat out once a month or so, but it’s been 2 months since we did that. Not a biggie for sure.
The pictures of panic/hoarders and empty shelves just made me rethink my garden’s size. Every picture of empty shelves made me mentally add a cpl rows to my garden. This year we’re going to try to feed the chickens for a while with what we grow. I’ve got dent/flint corn, soybeans (I think these need to be cooked first), pumpkins (the seeds are antiworming for chickens) and other small grains (sorghum, tef, millet, etc). Also for this fall, mangels and sugar beets, winter squash of all kinds and barley and wheat to plant in Nov.
Let’s hope the crazy ends at some point way before Nov.
ALTHOUGH, I expect a lot of crazy just before the election. That’s what we were really thinking of prepping for in the first place. Antifa false flag stuff is still a concern of mine.
Boris released from hospital. No way that happens without some drug. They are claiming he was put on oxygen but no details of drugs used

Yikes. Hope you catch the culprit too.
We lost a chicken last year. Something dug under the chickenwire hubby had buried in the ground around the perimenter. Not sure what it was but we replaced the perimeter buried wire and doubled the width. No issues since.
we hope to rechicken this summer, late summer, if the panic hoarders haven’t wiped out mcmurray.
Whatever we have is climbing over, and we have a live wire. It’s very upsetting. We’re about to run another life wire. We’ve lost several this spring.
:(
We’ve enclosed our entire run in chickenwire. Buried around the perimeter out to about 2ft away, around the sides and over the top. We have a hawk problem and a digging critter problem. Probably a fox or a raccoon.
We were going to build another run this summer and still may if this is ‘over’ by then. Hubby’s work assumes that since he’s not ‘wasting time’ with the commute, he can just start work when he’d normally *leaves* for work and work until he normally gets home. Plus he’s on call. Their work has been cray-z since this started. The only good thing is it’s daylight outside much later now and still time to get things done when he ‘gets home from the office’.
The percent 40-59 hospitalized in MS is ‘enlightening’.
That’s the demographic that won’t ‘die’ necessarily.
Just spend weeks in the hospital.
Those businesses don’t need managers or supervisors in the meantime.
I’m so sorry about your dog :(
My shepherd passed last week. It sucks.
