Now 4.

NZ has a population density of 46 people per square mile.

NYC has a population density of 26,403 people per square mile.

Do you think that makes a difference?

NZ also did not have 3.4 million travelers from China and Europe enter their county between December and February.

No doubt they had advantages
They are an Island, huge advantage
They depend on tourism, disadvantage. 4 million visitors a year.
Good article on how NZ is doing it.

About 106k worldwide deaths reported
US closing in on 20k
WTF
We have almost 20% of deaths on the planet??????
The virus is kicking the USA's butt

Apparently one of the ways the death tolls are more accurately accessed is when the statisticians start looking at the difference of people dying during more normal years compared to this one.

But that won't happen until later.

I'm not sure if it's in just one state or more, but I know people dying at home weren't being tested for the virus. So that's an undercount. But they would be picked up in increased death toll count when it is finally compared to other years. As long as the years they choose don't have an aberration of unusual death or it has one they can account for.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Welcome back Shrek. I had a computer go kablooey. Went on line. Bestbuy.com. Clicked a few times. Less than $200 got a new laptop via curbside pick up at local store. No Best Buy nearby?

Holy moly, there's a Best Buy like a mile away from me. So I was suffering all this time for nothing when the solution was right under my freakin nose?! Geez, that's unbelievable! I gotta pick up a new computer ASAP. Thanks for the tip!

I've been saving up some anti Cuomo stuff for you, by the way!

Oh hell here goes....

He had the opportunity to buy ventilators a few years ago to prepare for something like this and did not.
The social distancing rules here (mostly NYC) are a failure because of all the exceptions.
There how do you think the pizza workers get to work in Manhattan? SUBWAY
How do the dry cleaners get to work in Manhattan? SUBWAY
How about the banker that should not be allowed in and should work from home? SUBWAY
Tree pruners that work in Central Park? SUBWAY

I could go on and on. The pictures of crowded subway cars are real. The poor, mostly Black and Hispanic, are suffering the brunt of Cuomo's malfeasance.

He can say Trump should have shut down the country sooner, and maybe he should have, but Cuomo had the right, and yes, the obligation, to shut down NY sooner. I mean, NY State will soon see the most deaths of any country if it were to be classified as such.

EVEN HIS DOOFUS brother was not practicing social distancing, and put his own mother at risk! And somehow the liberal media makes them out to be stars!

Andrew C. is so into himself it is ridiculous. He is, and ALWAYS has been, asll about the power.
His brilliancy has just closed all the golf courses in our area. It was ONE activity that could be accomplished easily using social distancing guidelines. And he decided to crush another small business group FOR NO RATIONAL reason!

I honestly can't even watch that guy on TV anymore. He and Gabbin Newsom have gotta be the worst governors in the country. And I mean THE WORST!!

I love New Yorkers, but man why do they vote for so many losers?????
