As far as New York goes, get back to me in two weeks, okay? Let's compare notes then. I'll be thrilled to be wrong.
That is incorrect. That can take the age and races of those of the 700+ who were infected and adjust for the US population. Indeed a Stanford professor did just that and estimated 0.05% to 1% death rate for the US population. What you are talking about is the R0 (ability to spread), which will be higher on a cruise ship than most cities.
I believe the single most effective mechanism in the world for promoting widespread transmission of a viral or bacterial pathogen is the New York City subway system. You can introduce a virus anywhere in the world, and within one week I guarantee you it will be all over the NYC subway.
Why is the New York COVID-19 curve youre showing there so steep? Because the NYC subway system is still operating EVEN RIGHT NOW.
This whole thing is a fiasco. Let these urban dumps that function like open sewers lock themselves down and use the military to prevent anyone from escaping. The rest of us have no reason to abide by these stupid restrictions.
it’s just the flu bro. Why worry?
