NY coronavirus death toll jumps as Cuomo delays presidential primary
[NYPOST] New York’s coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...corpse count jumped by 209 Saturday, according to Gov. Andrew SonnyCuomo, who announced the state’s presidential primary election will be moved to June 23 amid the worsening crisis. The state’s death count climbed to 728, up from 519 on Friday, the governor said. And the number of infected jolted to 52,318, an increase from the day before by 7,681, he said. 728÷52318 = 1.3% death rate, which is pretty good compared to worldwide averages Earlier Saturday, the city said the total for the five boroughs was 29,158, with 517 dead. The data show that residents of the Big Apple are dying every 9.5 minutes.  The presidential primary was originally scheduled for April 28, and will now be linked to elections for congressional and legislative elections previously scheduled on that date."I don’t think it’s wise to be bringing a lot of people to one location to vote," the governor said. State election officials asked for the move on Tuesday. The state is also delaying the tax filing deadline to July 15, matching the move on the federal level, he said. Posted by: Fred 2020-03-30 |
