New Yorks coronavirus outbreak has violently erupted over the past few days, and the state is now driving the national epidemic while on the West Coast, public health experts are wondering if an early and aggressive response saved California from a similar fate.
California reported some of the earliest coronavirus cases in the United States in late January. And in the first week of March, California and New York were neck and neck on cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. But over the past week, New York case counts have doubled every few days, and the state now has nearly 10 times the cases California does: 38,000 to 4,200.
Infectious-disease experts say early maneuvers in California, especially in the Bay Area first discouraging people from gathering in crowds and then ordering them to shelter in place may have had a dramatic impact, even if they came only a few days ahead of those in New York.
But other factors may also be in play. New York is testing far more people three times as many as California and therefore identifying more cases, for example. And its possible that whats happening 3,000 miles away could be Californias future.
New York may just be three or four days in front of us. Were going to see an increase in the number of cases here as well, said Dr. Warner Greene, a senior investigator at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco who specializes in HIV but is studying the new coronavirus. Days matter they really matter. You think youre fine, youre absolutely fine, but this thing is just waiting to explode.
But we went into shelter in place quicker; we got people apart quicker, Greene said. That could be a contributing factor ...

I went onto CA’s state department of health website. Could find info on criteria for testing, on number of tests given, completed, outstanding, negatives.

The two communities with the largest numbers are Elmhurst and Maspeth. Elmhurst is heavily hispanic while Maspeth is old line Archie Bunker country. Neither home to a large LBGTQWERTY population.
Public transportation.
You can assume anything you want - you don’t know where I live, so your statement is BS and non-responsive to the point. Can you defend NYC, or do you just want to continue to deflect?
Because they have an idiot of a governor who basically let it happen.
Agenda 21 is NOT sustainable...
Not even the coronavirus can thrive in California.
Deflection speaks volumes.
It means there is no argument against the statement, so you deflect or attack the messenger.
And some people do both.
Subways
320 peeps/sq.mi. at my compound.
I should consider moving farther out.
think NY got seeded heavily by Italy.
BINGO!!! And my cousin was in Italy in September. Got as far north as Florence. Was astonished by the overwhelming number of Chinese tourists and by their failure to recognize your personal space.

Biden.
No,
So you share my frustration. Prayers for both of them.
DC is way out front in pop density. NY is 12th and Cali is 17th as of 2015.
Yep - need to determine if there is an ignore feature on Free Republic for situations like this....
They had great leadership didnt they /s. Smh.
