Punching Bag Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Since this Erie County / Western New York / (((((( Downstate New York ))))) [social isolation] thread perhaps owner could rename it? https://www.newsbreak.com/new-york/buffalo/news/0OhsGWCs/founder-of-tarantino-foods-dies-of-covid-19 https://www.wkbw.com/news/local-news/founder-of-tarantino-foods-dies-of-covid-19 Quote The original founder of Tarantino Foods on Bailey Avenue has died of COVID-19. Family members say 99 year-old John P. Tarantino Sr. tested positive for the virus Tuesday. He passed away on Wednesday evening. My sister worked there and he unknowingly had virus. She caught it from him when she helped him on with coat. She fortunately caught a mild version of the virus, did not require ICU and is home in isolation. 21 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I am wondering at how the "need Federal partnership" will play out Probably as well as NFL / NFLPA partnership. Whatever cannot be agreed to in agreement will be settled by repeated lawsuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen your other post and question why he was anywhere but his house completely isolated. My grandpa is in his 90s and he refuses to not go to the grocery stores. Tough to tell a guy in his 90s how to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know to his last day he was working on selling items to hospitals, nursing home, etc. at half price since restaurants cancelled orders, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be morbid, but practically speaking, your grandpa needs to think through what medical procedures he would and would not want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be morbid, but practically speaking, your grandpa needs to think through what medical procedures he would and would not want. That's already been decided. He wouldn't even go to a hospital if he got it. Like you said morbid, but he is very content with everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to wonder if people are saying screw it and just working The guidance I found online is a bit ambiguous. As essential, it includes Construction, Including: skilled trades such as electricians, plumbers other related construction firms and professionals for essential infrastructure or for emergency repair and safety purposes I guess if they claim the deck is an "emergency repair" or that it would be unsafe to leave it in a partly-built condition, that would be allowed. The thing is, unless NY is unique, local municipal building inspectors generally want to inspect stuff like that - they want to inspect the holes and footings for the deck, for example. So the local municipalities must know and approve. Upstate New York is a bit concerning. It looked for a while like Buffalo was really flattening, onto the "every 2 weeks" line and below, but now it's had an uptick and back onto "doubling every 11 days". I hope this is a testing capacity increase or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 There are absolutely some businesses that are violating the stay at home orders. A friend of mine’s work got in trouble. He works collections and his place was still allowing everyone to work - in an enclosed building. No windows, where about 100 people sit crowded together. I believe someone blew them in because I saw on social media that the police showed up and shut them down. Now he’s working from home. If you know a business is violating the orders and putting people’s lives at risk, you can report them to the NY attorney General (I’m not telling anyone to do it or anything, just providing the info): Attorney general - 212-416-8700 Email - labor.bureau@AG.NY.GOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many places in upstate NY the amount of testing has recently increased significantly, which may be the cause of the increasing numbers of cases. I have been tracking the number of hospitalized as a benchmark. In my area (Oneida County, the heart shaped county in the heart of New York) the number in hospital has been hovering around 30 for over a week. I will get worried if that number goes up. https://hoccpp.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/d88f4e10d59d4553b24c3add5abcbb0b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the amount of testing goes up, the cases will increase - but I think if the amount of disease is actually constant, one would expect the cases to jump up, but the slope to then stabilize at the same slope, just at a higher level? That doesn't seem to be what's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you're talking about this graph. Any idea what was up with the big spike on 4/24, which looks like it was a one day thing followed by a modest increase? What I was looking at is this kind of graph: At the point where I was commenting, it looked as though the Buffalo area had transitioned onto a higher slope, not just a jump up in numbers. But now it appears to have done just what I was saying, and jumped up on the date that ~corresponds to the testing jump you noted, but then settled back down onto the same slope of doubling every 13 days. Phew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew. likely that results from week ends are underreported and do not hit the chart until mid-week when entered to system. this roller coaster is pretty consistent the last week is much bigger which coincides with availability of more tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
