Good News New York's Daily Deaths Toll Falls for First Time

Hopefully this is the same trend that's being seen in Italy.

New York State’s daily deaths fell for the first time, but Governor Andrew Cuomo said it’s too soon to draw any conclusions. U.S. troops may soon be directed to wear face coverings.

New York reported 594 new coronavirus deaths on Sunday, fewer than the 630 it reported on Saturday, Governor Andrew Cuomo said at his daily press briefing. The state has 4,159 fatalities so far.

There are 122,031 positive cases in total. New hospitalizations also dropped, to 574 from 1,095, Cuomo reported.

It's smart for the Trump team to be overly aggressive in their language and estimates. This way people will be very cautious until May. If most of the States are really flattening the curve, you can start opening things up again while keeping certain States under quarantine. That looks like New York, New Jersey, Florida, Michigan and Louisiana right now.

I doubt we will ever know the true death total from this virus.
Just tell us how many people are in the hospital or have died solely because of covid 19 and did not have any underlying health conditions.

.3 percent maybe 🤓

Tell us how many people have caught the disease, suffered through it without medical care, and acquired immunity. They don't like to talk about things like that.

Ummm... Today isn't over yet? What are they talking about? Are they only counting till noon?

They dont count them as cured? Here they are talking about becoming immune, testing donor blood for it and so on but are still not sure if it will be a permanent immunity. And saying how many has suffered through it is hard to say because many dont experience any symptons or very mild ones and wont go get tested, but can still infect others because they are not aware and take things lightly

This if true is good that social distancing works and when the rates fall we can begin to look over the parapets , in the West that is. But we'll have to keep going for as long as it takes to burn it out. Could b a while . As far as the 'weaker health systems' go coronavirus has gotten to all of them and has started to get a grip , they're about 2 weeks behind but on lock down anyway.

The problems that many poorer countries are having right now include clamps on social media and news posts with information like predictive studies being labelled fake news , combined with the fact that many of the poorest must go out to work to eat , and it's adequate food that will rapidly become a serious problem for very many people , along with the virus spreading through close quarters, very close quarters .

Even today Burundi has seen bodies left out in open streets by troops combing for them through urban sprawl , no one knows if they're Corona victims or not . Heads of state in third world countries , and surprisingly the general public too are viewing the pandemic coming head on towards them with bravado . You have to think of it like they do , a virus which may or may not kill you is just an only one of the problems of day to day life.

Unfortunately given the hospitalisation rate we re likely to see mass tragedy in the coming months , whether lock downs avert this is touch and go even here. At well over 100 000 confirmed in New York over just month and global figures climbing past a million this week , c19 is out there in force . It's a very infectious and serious disease when it's put one in three cases in hospital in Italy , viral pnumonia ( if that's what it is) is not easy at all to contain.

We must stay on top of this but it's already making the shape of the global economy very different as we look on at the pandemics development. Good examples of huge changes is for example mainstream clothing retailers taking 2.4 billion of business away from Bangladesh , putting many many seamstresses immediately on the breadline there, before the wave even arrives in force.

Lockdowns become very hard to endure and enforce after several weeks and it needs about 12 weeks, the incubation period being anything up to 21 days, and given the troublesome possibilities which reinfection / reinfectiousness bring in.

Dare i day it?

Trump right again

If your incubation period is brief before getting sick or take two weeks, does it have any indication of the anticipated severity of the illness?

They don't tell us things like that either.

Most of them are not even in the statistics. They don't exist for the actuarial tables.

Germany is planning to issue certificates to their citizens who have done just that. Those certificated will be exempt from any further quarantine measures.

The Germans are well known for the scientific approach to things. I admire them.

This is called naturalized immunity, and is an age old biological fact, not just in humans.
