COVID-19 Map worldwide, with statistics

Not open for further replies.
As of 26 May, fully 26% of all Covid-19 deaths in the US occurred in the four counties which contain New York City. (New York State accounts for 29%.)

Quotable quotes (emphasis added):

"The secret of our success* has been communications and transparency." NY Governor Andrew Cuomo (* Now that's "chutzpah"!)

"You pick the 26,000 people who are going to die!" Andrew Cuomo (directed at President Trump for not immediately sending New York State 30,000 ventilators which subsequently were never used.)

"If you isolate, your family won’t get infected!" Gov. Cuomo, 13 April

"Shocking. ... We thought maybe they were taking public transportation ... but actually no, because these people were literally at home." 7 May (on 66% of new cases having been in home isolation.)

"I’m out of business [of making judgments] because we all failed. The models were all wrong. [I'm] out of the guessing business." Gov. Cuomo, 25 May

Governor [Cuomo], it’s a professional honor to work with you. Your state has already shown what can be achieved when policies are driven by science.” Samir Bhatt, Senior Lecturer, Imperial College

If you want to laugh and cry at once, watch (if you can stand it) the daily gabfests featuring future car salesman MN Governor Tim Walz, the young (i.e. clueless) mayors of Minneapolis / St. Paul, and the stately MN Public Safety Commissioner. "Can't we all just get along? These outrages are mainly by white supremacist outsiders. We're better than this. This ... has ... to ... stop. Minnesota Strong!".

I did not realize that Antifa and BlackLivesMatter were white supremacist organizations!
 
My church held services today, great turn-out, happy, thankful, inspired, and 99% unmasked.

Some of y'all might not understand, but life is happier when death holds no fear.

Like most of the country, we live in a rural area with almost no presence of corona. (41 cases in a county of around 70,000 folks) No deaths.
The county to the east of us has NO cases.

Pardon us if we're a little pissed about most of our small businesses closing and going belly up. Also excuse our lack of trust in our state government which hasn't been able to provide unemployment benefits for about half of the people who have been out of work for around two months now.

And why do I get the feeling that some folks would be more satisfied if this pandemic would hurry up and get worse like it's supposed to?:rolleyes: jd
 
"The city urges everyone to exercise caution and stay safe while participating in demonstrations, including wearing masks and physical distancing as much as possible to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The city has made hundreds of masks available to protesters this week."

Mayor Jacob Frey, Minneapolis


I now realize he didn't mean gas masks.

Were they soaked in ether? They should have been. That would make for a quiet riot (pun intended).
 
Please explain?? jd

We are learning that in a health crisis there are many who are "weak" - more correctly, vulnerable. Vulnerable segments of the population (old, black, fat and other complicating conditions etc). Vulnerable jobs - jobs with little security, no support, no sick pay and 'gone in the flashest of flashes'. Vulnerable businesses - inability to adapt, over-leveraged, no capital buffers, poor supply chains etc. And people running around with placards arguing we should "sacrifice the weak." Yup they're being sacrificed. Never let a crisis go to waste.
