Turn your common sense It won’t be 100k death I am in great NYC area Just follow the rules It is a lot of peoples not educated and not following the rules unfortunately However numbers going to improve!!!!
Again, repeat after me. Something that is contagious and kills people is different than something that isn't contagious and kills people. If you can't acknowledge that basic fact then you're either a moron or a troll. I don't think you're a moron, but you're clearly a troll. Speaking of trolling, how about you give us the whole Cuomo quote, you know, the part where he actually said "And it depends on what we do. It is our actions that is flattening the curve. Why were all those projections wrong? Because our actions have been better than the statisticians believed. So we can flatten the curve. We are flattening the curve. We have to maintain it, but the human cost here, the human toll, the suffering is just incredible. It's just incredible." Or in other words, his point was exactly the opposite what you're attributing to him. If you can't have an intellectually honest discussion, then just STFU. Who knows what you're trying to accomplish or why you get your jollies out of trolling, but your kind are not wanted here or really anywhere.
I do not need to see charts and graphs of the difference between COVID deaths and the other causes you mentioned, because the one major difference is that the others are CONTROLLABLE by us. Through legislature and legal ramifications. Alcohol is a controllable variable. Make DUI penalties more substantive. Distracted driving is a controllable variable. Slap on a penal penalty for it. We can CONTROL those causes. We can control (or try to abate) the artificial causes of premature deaths that are of our own doing. But the virus is NOT in our control. We cannot litigate it away, we cannot rationalize it, hell, we cannot even detect when it is a threat to a local community due to it's asymptomatic behavior. We can only do our best to stave it off. New York started to stave off the second-hand-smoke issue with the clean-air act of 1990(?), which said no smoking in public areas indoors. Then they were one of, if not the, first states to implement hands-free driving rules, to prevent accidental deaths from distracted drivers. Comparing the controllable causes of death with the "uncontrollable" is apples and oranges, IMHO.
You silly boy, you can not ban a virus. Oh wait, you actually can, with a lock down. And you obviously didn't get my examples, because those are not CONTAGIOUS.
Love seeing how Trump makes lefties to become Federalists all of a sudden. And the most magnificent Dr Fauci is vouching for Trump now. The sheep still don't get that the leaders of our choice will dump us regardless of their yesterdays persuasions... or ours for that matter. Traders, my ass...
They will. They just added 3700 extra death to the NY state numbers. Now that is what I call improvement!!! The 100K by the end of the year can and will be easily done.
If they do re-open and if Corona flairs again, no make that when it flairs again, I hope Chumpie gets re-elected. He and the ignorant Reps "deserve" it. The rest of us are just along, for the ride to hell.
You can reduce automobile ACCIDENTS by lowering speed limits to 5 miles per hour. If an average of 35,000 people die in car crashes each year, you could easily lower that to under 2,000 by reducing speed limits to 5 mph. That’s a 95% reduction. You can reduce the spread of viruses (not just coronavirus but the flu too) by mandating shutdowns. The question remains though, at what cost?... There is an economic cost to both scenarios. There is a loss of freedom of movement in both scenarios. What is the right number of deaths compared with loss of economics and freedom is the right amount? Is it good to reduce Coronavirus deaths at all costs but not the common flu? If we can reduce pneumonia deaths by 50%, with a total lockdown from Dec-April every year would that be worth it? Please explain why COVID is different than reducing other types of virus deaths with lockdowns.
Ok clacy why don’t you travel to NY by moto..wear no mask...or any other protective measures and visit all the hospitals and old folks homes and cheer up the sick? If you get sick go to one of them churches that refuse to lockdown. Generally car wrecks are not contagious.
