Indeed, why panic with only 1.3 million *confirmed* cases and 76,000+ dead in about two months, much higher totals than we would have seen if Trump had had the brains and guts to take COVID-19 seriously when he was first warned about it. That would make the unemployment rate even higher. The interesting thing is in New York, the people who stayed home fared worse than the essential workers who carried on normally, just taking a few precautions. The folks that stayed home caught it from someone who *didn't* stay home. I guess it was either from a delivery person or they think "home" is not leaving that infected apartment building they live in. (going to get the mail, empty the trash etc). The interesting thing is they did worse than the people who were still going to work every day. Greg, someone in every household needs to venture out into the real world. Folks still eat and ****, needing food and toilet paper. The ones that ventured out brought it home to the rest of the family. It's simply proof that venturing out can be dangerous. Wouldn't it be more dangerous if everyone ventured out? All of those essential workers venture out every day and spend their whole day face to face with the public, yet it was the ones who stayed home who ended up in the hospital in far greater numbers. I see 3 possibilities. 1. They got infected in their apartment building because they were not following the sanitary protocols. 2. They were infected by the delivery people. 3. They lied and they didn't stay home. I suppose it is also possible that they had other visitors who brought them the virus too. You failed to list 'family members' who returned from the outside - either working or shopping or whatever. Do you think the wife and kids should isolate themselves from dad any time he comes home? Give me a break! Perhaps but I assumed when they said "stayed home" they meant the family stayed home. Even so, the infected member who didn't stay home should have hit the stat. Well, obviously the entire family can't always stay home. What do you mean by 'hit the stat'? If you mean the 33% who didn't catch it at home, you're probably correct. But, if the rest of the family had *not* stayed home, I'd bet the number of cases would be dramatically higher. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

Well, obviously the entire family can't always stay home. If you are talking NYC, why not? They will deliver just about anything right to your apartment there, even before the virus. What do you mean by 'hit the stat'? If you mean the 33% who didn't catch it at home, you're probably correct. Of the other 33%, 24% of them were in some kind of nursing home, assisted care or some other congregate facility. (2% homeless and 1% inmates). But, if the rest of the family had *not* stayed home, I'd bet the number of cases would be dramatically higher. Since they were highest in the country, I am not sure how much higher it could be. I still would have expected enough "essential workers" would be infected to make the chart. That even surprised me. When you look at how many people in New York are essential there should have been more who went to the hospital. Maybe employers imposed stricter protocols than a New Yorker would do on his own. They do tend to be a "Fugetabout it" bunch who are not real good at following orders. |
