Someone who died? What's the current % of positive tests, where to get one in the first place, you must be showing symptoms that fit certain parameters? Like ~4ish% positive?

B-Man Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 NYC prisoner released by state over coronavirus charged with robbery by Larry Celona & Jorge Fitz-Gibbon Original Article A Bronx man released from prison by Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month amid the spread of the coronavirus has been charged with beating and robbing a 62-year-old man — who was so scared of getting the ailment he refused to take the money back when cops made an arrest. Daniel Vargas, 29, was being held on $50,000 bail on robbery, grand larceny and assault charges after allegedly approaching the elderly victim on Valentine Avenue in the Bronx shortly after 8 a.m. Tuesday, according to a criminal complaint. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Google Helps New York Reboot Unemployment System After Crash New York state’s labor department has been working with Alphabet Inc.‘s Google to reboot its unemployment filing system after a deluge of claims spurred by the Covid-19 pandemic caused it to crash. The state has received roughly 810,000 unemployment insurance claims since March 9, of which about 600,000 have been processed, Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa said at a Thursday briefing. “It’s a volume issue that we’ve never experienced,” she said. Last week alone the state received 347,573 claims, a 2,580% increase over the same period in the prior year, according to state labor department data released Thursday. The number of phone calls to the unemployment insurance filing system increased by 16,000% in peak weeks of the pandemic, and website traffic increased by 1,600%, compared to a typical week, the department said. </snip> The state labor department and Office of Information Technology Services have worked with Google using its Cloud technology to upgrade the system and improve its reliability. The reboot took place Thursday between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. It includes a new online application with fewer questions, DeRosa said. The online system closed at 7 p.m., so applications will begin being accepted again at 7:30 a.m. Friday, according to the governor’s office. </snip> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuomo and Trump spar after NY governor says don’t 'pass the buck without passing the bucks' By Brooke Singman | Fox News New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and President Trump clashed Friday after Cuomo demanded the president provide the funding necessary for the state to reopen the economy amid the coronavirus ciris, warning not to "pass the buck without passing the bucks." The battle of the New Yorkers started Friday when Cuomo, during his press conference, complained about funding while discussing the president’s set of guidelines titled "Opening up America Again,” which passes the decision on when to move to each phase to governors and local officials. "The federal government has passed three bills to address this crisis. Of those three bills, the state governments have gotten precisely zero, zilch, nada in unrestricted aid," Cuomo said Friday. ”That is passing the buck without passing the bucks.” “Don’t ask the states to do this without the funding,” Cuomo added, saying that putting the onus on the states without the funding necessary to have a successful reopening is “the opposite of the buck stops here.” https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cuomo-warns-trump-not-to-pass-the-buck-without-passing-the-bucks-for-reopening-of-economy-amid-coronavirus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copied from my answer to you in the stats thread: Not to sound harsh, but I would say absolutely NOT! Problem in a nursing home, and probably the main reason we have so many infected, is that most of them have a single tied together air system. So even if you only have one infected, lock them in their room, it WILL spread through the air system. Their not isolated systems like a hospital ward or even a darn hotel. We are really really screwing up in nursing homes and we don't need a Cuomo multi-million dollar study to find out how.

In my own case, both parents suffered long illnesses and we took them home for the last year or so of their lives. I know with a lot of people that isn't possible but I'm a firm believer in that Honor your Father and Mother thing still holds especially later in life when they in turn need you. But regardless, we were a55 backwards in all of this, locking in healthy people who for the most part would be asymptomatic when we should have focused more on the vulnerable to keep the disease out of there altogether. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
