Well yeah, millimeter wave spectrum will fry your brain if you put it in a cell phone, but I don't see a linkage to Wuhan virus.

Is this about Huawei building out 5G networks in UK and EU?

LA doesn't have nearly the density of huge apartment building complexes. If you look at how this thing jumped over the Hudson River, Bergen County was the first but is not now the center of the outbreak, which has moved to the very densely packed Newark.

I reuse mine, but it's not made to last a long time. I've looked at studies that tested virus survivability on them, and they show about 6 hrs. To be safer, get 7 and label them by day of week. That should last you a good while. Check out the video above of making your own mask from used shirts. Will last as long as you have laundry detergent.

If Ignatious' piece is propaganda, the truth is probably scarier. The chemical lab release has to be closer to the truth than not if they ran with the story. Accidental release or not, that's pretty nasty stuff.

That's the data through yesterday. Cuomo is playing fast with the numbers, because his figures don't match the daily statistics that the state puts out.

2,935 is the total to date in NYS, not a daily number.

I don't find this line of thinking as offering much value at this point or in the future. The primary determinant should be whether the underlying condition still be triggered if Wuhan virus didn't exist. Resources need to be planned based on the case, severity and mortality. There's been talk about Italy overstating its Covid cases, yet data also shows that total deaths in Lombardy are running 50% higher than in prior years. That's pretty clear conclusion of the virus's impact.

Both. The death rate should lag the infection rate by about 7-10 days. BTW, NY new case growth seems to be peaking.

What's the source of the data, because it doesn't correlate with the other trackers.

Don't know if graph smooths out the reported numbers on 4/1 and 4/2, but in the official reporting there was a spike on 4/1 and a drop of 180 deaths on 4/2. Even if you average out 4/1 and 4/2, the number is promising

I think the primary goal is to keep your germs contained, not so much to keep others out. If both people are wearing masks, the transmission risk is greatly reduced

Shocking advice

Where are the glaring headlines that daily Wuhan virus deaths declined by 36.8% in NYS yesterday? I know that one day does not make a trend, but notable nonetheless.

That's 100% of the reason why NY and North Jersey exploded, in addition to not heeding directions in early-mid March.

Possibly, but unlikely because you'd see a spike in deaths in South Jersey. You can track it here.

You don't have to worry as much being in the Pennsyltucky part of NJ

Or is it because despite of a blanket stay at home order, states outside LA, NY & NJ are not growing at pandemic rates? At this point of the infection cycle, NY & NJ were growing at 40%. The rest of the country is growing at 10%. Seems to me that other areas took the threat seriously and are practicing proper viral hygiene.

Last I heard is that the trains are clensed every 24 hrs. Won't matter, because trains are still crowded due to curtailed service. The hope is that nobody ventures out if they have an inkling of a symptom.

Were you in NYC between March 13 and March 22 to witness this compliance with the recommended practice?

I believe it just opened up yeterday.

I've never argued that we don't need both. I argued that too many people focused on the lack of testing as the primary reason for the rapid spread, instead of hammering away at keeping proper hygiene. Cleanliness and separation would have been far more effective, especially with a novel virus for which the tests didn't exist. It only took the officials 2 months to start constantly preaching it.

Which gets back to the main point of the effectiveness of testing vs practicing good hygiene in stemming the spread. How do you test asymptomatic people? Do you mandate that every citizen take a test once a week? Or do you hammer away at cleanliness? Why did CDC reverse its position on masks?

In an idealized state, which will never exist for each new virus. He also doesn't address who would be subject to the test, not the obvious point that if you have symptoms, to stay away from others.

Point me to where Fauci said that testing would slow the spread in the US?
