So anybody want to comment on the second wave starting around Asia while Western countries haven't even hit the peak of the first one?

Jane, I can tell you about Thailand. Large numbers of Thai people have been living, working, or pursuing education in other countries. Now that universities and businesses in those countries have had to close due to Covid-19, these people are "stuck" far from home.
The government has been providing flights to bring them back, often from places where the pandemic is hitting much harder than it is here. Despite precautions it's pretty much inevitable that some infected people will arrive causing an increase in risk, so this has to be carefully handled. I think other Asian countries are dealing with this same problem.

New York is out of control!

What happened there?? 102,000 cases?

This was always coming. Wait until all those countries without an health service lose control. Need a bigger wall than the one Trump is building!This virus is one hell of cocktail tool!

But who's is it? / Who is ultimately responsible?
China alone?
China & N Korea?
N Korea (note their threat of something for Dec/Xmas)?
Iran & N Korea?
Iran?
Russia?
USA?
Suggestions?

From Guardian Live Feed :

- 7.23pm : " The number of Funerals in Jakarta increases sharply. "

Nearly 4,400 burials occurred in the month; 40% higher than any month since at least January 2018, according to a Reuters review of statistics from the city’s Department of Parks and Cemeteries.

Jakarta’s governor, Anies Baswedan, and some public health experts suspect the number of infections and deaths in Jakarta has been significantly under-reported due to one of the world’s lowest rates of testing.

" It is extremely disturbing. I’m struggling to find another reason than unreported Covid-19 deaths. "

- 10.33pm : "Falklands confirms first case"

The patient has been hospitalised since 31 March and developed a range of Covid-19 symptoms, tested positive for the virus, and is now in a stable condition and being cared for with necessary isolation procedures.

From White House Briefing : " Centers for Disease Control (CDC) now recommends that Americans use non-medical, cloth face coverings to help prevent the spread of the virus. "

"From recent studies we know that the transmission from individuals without symptoms is playing a more significant role in the spread of the virus than previously understood," Mr Trump said.

"With the masks, it's going to really be a voluntary thing," he emphasised. "It's voluntary, you do not have to do it. I don't think I'm going to be doing it."

He notes the CDC is not recommending the use of medical-grade masks, as those should go to health care workers.

We already had it. Everyone who is getting bad symptoms now was infected before lockdown.

There are more of us that are already infected and in about a week give or take, the rest of the infected will find out by their symptoms getting worse or manifesting if they didnt yet.

Thank you.

Sunny Rainbows to you

My wife and I went out and wore our masks. She wasn't too hip on the whole mask idea, but she also didn't fight it either. I'd say about 10-15% of people were wearing masks. I didn't feel odd at all wearing mine, but people did stare, not something I experience often.

One lady, who had on mask, asked us where we got ours.

You’d think people would have more sense than to trust the official chinese figures.

It wouldn't be complete without them.
We can trust, or not, but they have to be included.

NYC is so tightly packed.... a lot like Wuhan. Everyone uses public transportation.... When it first hit the US I knew NYC would get hit hard.

Google prepared this report:

In first quarter of 2019, an average of 2055 people died per day in New York State.
On the day April 1st, 2020, 498 people were reported to have died in New York State from CV19.
I find it hard to believe "the morgues are overwhelmed" by a questionable 20% increase.

Can anyone find a good statistic on how many people died in New York State in March, 2020?

If CV19 was a bioweapon, it was an extreme failure.

I'd bet when true numbers are known, less people will have died per day in NYS during the "pandemic" than in most previous years.

It's over. We lucked out this time. CV19 could have been much worse, but it wasn't.

It is time to end the shutdowns.

Last Week: NYC Rape down 40%, Other Sex Offenses down 60%

Only car theft seems to be up, and one more person was shot. (9 vs 8 same week last year)

Could you provide me with where you were able to obtain the first quarter 2019 deaths for NYS? I tried a quick search and I was unable to find it (I could use some assistance).
Thank you in advance.

(have to click in to get to NYS specifically)

From my post on Page 328: (Each line is a source link)

Italy Annual Deaths / 1000 popl = 10.7
Italy Deaths from CV19 / 1000 popl = 0.23

New York State Pop = 20.1M
New York State CV19 deaths = 6507
New York State deaths from CV19 /1000 pop = 0.323
New York State 2019 Q1 deaths /1000 pop = 9.2

I am having trouble finding my way back to the NYS 2019Q1 table on CDC.
Here is a direct link to 7.2/1000 in 2017 from NYS www.health.ny.gov...

a reply to: Oleman

Do you have a source for your first quarter of 2019 in NYS that says 2055 people died per day? I've googled and I'm having trouble finding that info

Edit to say that I found that it's about an average of 420 people per day in NYS. Your number is wrong.

From your link it tops at 920 in a quarter (that's in a 3 month period). So where you came up with over 2K people dying per day..... I'm lost.
