New York Has Most Covid19 Cases In The Entire World

Trump should move back to Trump Tower.

That NYC is a cesspool and overpopulated.

Besides Trump, it says that Cuomo and DeBlasio fucked things up in the beginning by not taking the virus seriously.

DeBlasio was urging NYorkers to go out and have a good time still in early March. The NYC health commissioner was telling us to do the same.

She was the worse. She should be fired.

New Yorkers also infected the innocent people in other states.

NYC is infected because of transplants. Fact.

It's the buses and the subway.

NYC is one, if not THE, most popular tourist destinations in the world. Someone could have come here and spread covid-19.

The hasidics?

Like most tourists it came to see a show and ended up standing in the middle of the sidewalk blocking everybody with its fat fucking ass

NY is heavily populated and everyone is stacked on top of one another.

Easily spreads like wildfire

Manhattan, the most populated and congested borough, is the least infected. Queens, Bronx, and Brooklyn each have twice the cases.

People are more on top of each other despite not having as many people. If that is even true anymore.

That maybe hospitals are upcoming patients who had comorbidities and tested positive for Covid-19. Just to get a little more money from Medicare/-caid.

Perhaps even false positives but they died of something else. A lot of doctors have noticed a decrease in say sepsis patients or things people usually did from.

So tired of all these news stories randomly choosing stats for NYC one day and NY state the next. Everyone is conflating the two - now because NY state has a random number that lets them say the “most”, suddenly stories are about NY state and not NYC. This number mania for clickbait is becoming tiresome.

From the NY Times:

N.Y.C.’s death toll soars past 10,000 as count is revised. New York City, already a world epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, sharply increased its death toll by more than 3,700 victims on Tuesday, after officials said they were now including people who had never tested positive for the virus but were presumed to have died of it.

The new figures, released by the city’s Health Department, drove up the number of people killed in New York City to more than 10,000, and appeared to increase the overall United States death count 17 percent, to more than 26,000.

“We wanted to be honest about the bigger picture we were seeing,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said on CNN on Wednesday morning. “And it’s horrible for those families but I hope it says to us, `Never underestimate this disease.’”

The numbers brought into clearer focus the staggering toll the virus has already taken on the largest city in the United States, where deserted streets are haunted by the near-constant howl of ambulance sirens. Far more people have died in New York City, on a per-capita basis, than in Italy, the European country with the most deaths.

If I can make it there, I'll make it ANYWHERE!

And into the middle of March. He didn’t want to cancel the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and that was on the 17th!

Too late for that, Mayor, you already did.

A per capita comparison of a city versus a country? This is dumb. Do a per capita comparison of NYC versus Milan or something.

R17, it can't be an obesity problem in NYC. There are NO fat people in the entire city, so that is irrelevant.

It's the elevators. Everyone presses the button. And evereyone stands in close proximity. And due to NYC's density you can hardly avoid using elevators.

NYC tested most aggressively, than most other cities. If you don't test, you don't know that you have these many positive patients. In addition to that is the population density, subways and the amount of visitors from all over the world . JFK has the maximum passengers flying in the country.

Years of mismanagement under democrat machine politics. They can spend millions on a failed solar power plant, but nothing on ventilators that their own auditors say they need. When they don't have them, blame the President again.

Boris, take your lame attempts at trolling elsewhere r24.

Some people have been saying this virus has been here since December. We even have a thread here someone started about a terrible strain of cold they got that they couldn’t get rid of, then went on to describe a lot of the symptoms of COVID.

To add to r23, what about New Year’s Eve in Time Square? Yikes.

R25, Comrade R25, I'm sure your comments are appreciated within your party cell. You should be receiving commendations from Comintern shortly. Keep up doing their work!

It says that China lied as Chinese cities are way bigger than NYC and they didn’t lockdown for a while.

Once again - testing numbers/“cases” are meaningless. The random, disparate and inconsistent testing criteria between cities and countries has made “cases” a pointless number. Deaths are the only vaguely reliable statistic.

The minorities have been affected the worst and they have a lot of underlying health issues...

Just think how many people wash dishes, the cooks, immigrant workers...are crammed into tiny houses and apts, and they take the subways and spread it that way..

Uber drivers, young working adults who share apts with roommates, I even know people in their 40s who share apts with others...

It hit the poor and immigrant communities much harder than wealthier areas of NYC. As correctly noted above, Manhattan has fewer cases than Brookly, Bronx and Queens and Manhattan is way more dense. I have a feeling when they look back on this they'll find better healthcare is needed in these areas and that these communities are in poorer health.

De Blasio and his administration will not come out of this looking good either. His telling NYers to go out right up to the night before the lockdown was recklessly insane. Whatever sliver of a political career he had going into this year died with how he handled the virus.

The contributing factors will also be correlated to differences in diet and exercise, but you’re probably right that “better healthcare” and societal issues will be the focus instead.

So glad I took the ferry to work instead of the Path and subway trains! It cost a lot more, but it was worth it. That probably protected me from CV.

I think poorer areas live in more dense living quarters and are more reliant on subways and public spaces. A 2BR in the Bronx may house a family of 5. In Manhattan it could be a single couple. Richer tend to be better informed and educated which means they may have taken actions sooner and more cautious earlier. Then the working from home thing - that professionals in Manhattan did early - is huge. The nurses and CVS clerks “essential” workers are also more likely to come from the Bronx and Queens.

I can just imagine what sick things you did to him once you got him to work, you sicko.

[quote] Years of mismanagement under democrat machine politics

Yet the previous mayor, who was a Republican, ruled for 12 years.

New York has decided to include home and nursing home deaths that seem like covid-caused but never tested.

No other city has done that--so that NYC's seems especially high in comparison

The CDC now requires it, r37, so expect to see numbers increase all over the country.

I just want to know, why do we have to listen to Cuomo every day. I don't hate the guy but honestly, what is going on?

It gives people a sense of comfort that someone other than de Blasio is in charge.

to be honest, I haven't been listening to his pressers for a few days now...too depressing.

You would'nt expect anything less from the greatest city in the world.

One of the largest international shipping, transport, economic and cultural centers on entire planet is now also the center for a global pandemic.

I wonder if we will ever be able to solve the mystery of why this occurred.

You'd think quaint Ham-on-Wye, Wessex, would be the center of something like this.

Weird how Trump cleared-out of NYC right before the pandemic began. And Florida is doing fairly well with it.

50 NYC Department of Education staffers have died from coronavirus

New York state has developed its own coronavirus antibody test

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that the state's Health Department has developed its own coronavirus antibody test.

"New York state Department of Health developed their own antibody tests, and that test is going to be very important, and it's in our control, because we'd actually do those tests. We don't need a private lab. We don't need anybody else. With those tests, it will go to about 2,000-per-day capacity, and that is a finger prick test, so it's not terribly invasive," Cuomo said today during a news conference.

Cuomo added that the state is pursuing Food and Drug Administration approval that "could get us to 100,000 people per day. To give you an idea, that's then 500,000 a week."

Some context: Antibody tests — also known as serology tests — aren't meant to diagnose active coronavirus infections. Rather, they check for proteins in the immune system, known as antibodies, through a blood sample.

Their presence means a person was exposed to the virus and developed antibodies against it, which may mean that person has at least some immunity — although experts are not sure how strong the immunity may be or even how long it will last.

So, does this mean NY won't share the information with other states?

Also, why no follow up on that Abbott Labs (Illinois company) testing that was supposed to have been rolled out that would provide faster testing results?

Bloomberg was a Republican? I could really tell that from his presidential run.

We can’t make that statement because we don’t know the REAL figures in CCP-governed China.

we're the best!
