Restaurants and Bars Account for Less Than 2 Percent of New COVID-19 Cases in New York
Newsweek ^ | 12/11/20 | NATALIE COLAROSSI

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that private gatherings account for the vast majority of new statewide cases, while less than 2 percent are coming from bars and restaurants.

Cuomo referenced a statewide contact-tracing data set, which collected information on how new cases have spread from September to November. According to the data, 74 percent of new cases have come from private social gatherings.

The troubling information in this is that 74 percent of new cases are coming from household gatherings and living room spread," Cuomo said. "In many ways, you can understand what happened. You close bars, you close restaurants, you close theaters, you close stadiums, you close mass gatherings. So where do people go? They go home."

...

At 7.8 percent, the second highest reason for the virus' spread was attributed to health care delivery, which includes any necessary service in hospitals and medical facilities across the state.

But bars and restaurants, which have long been considered a high-risk area for the virus to spread, accounted for only 1.4 percent of new statewide cases.

Gyms, hair salons and barber shops are also very low-risk areas, each attributing for less than 1 percent of new cases.

...

Nonetheless, the governor announced that starting Monday morning, all New York City restaurants will be shuttered for indoor dining.

Oh my God we’re all going to die. Shut the schools, shut the restaurants, shut the theaters, shut everything.

Most humans are social critters.

They’re going to gather...

If they can’t gather in commercially cleaned, frequently sanitized bars and restaurants they will gather in private homes where cleansliness is a crap shoot.

Solitary confinement would be the only option to truly “stop the spread”.

This mentality that the virus can be contained by keeping people isolated has always been flawed.
The second that first case left Wuhan - it was over.

Given the New York governor and NYC’s idiot mayor, one must always remember one of the lesser known rules of the multiverse.

There are two kinds of science: real science and the ‘science’ that liberals want us to follow.

One produces progress. The other? Well, think of an idiot standing in a bucket trying to lift he/she/it/whatever up and thinking it’ll work.

In addition, remember that the media lives at the very bottom of the already very stunted liberal technical prowess.

"private homes where cleanliness is a crap shoot."

- scientific method?

Probably some very fancy computer models. After all they do such a good job with global warming climate change. /s

For once with Covid, Cuomo was probably correct:

“The troubling information in this is that 74 percent of new cases are coming from household gatherings and living room spread,” Cuomo said. “In many ways, you can understand what happened. You close bars, you close restaurants, you close theaters, you close stadiums, you close mass gatherings. So where do people go? They go home.”

Bars and restaurants accounted for only 1.4 percent of new cases.

Gyms, hair salons, and barber shops .. less than 1 percent of new cases.

Therefore, democrat governors and mayors from NY, NJ, CA, CO ... are closing them first.

Following science, they say (lie)..

Restaurants and bars are responsible for 2%; obviously they need to be shut down further.

I mean if we can save just one life, all measures should be taken.

For the good of the country’s health all restaurants and bars should be be burned down to eliminate any trace of virus.
