| Here's How Much New York City Is Skewing America's Coronavirus Numbers |
| 2020-05-10 |
| Nut grafs: [PJMedia] The thirteen New York City area counties of Queens, Kings, Bronx, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, New York, Hudson, Essex, Middlesex, Richmond, Bergen, and Union have 351,044 confirmed coronavirus cases, roughly 28 percent of the U.S.’s total of 1,244,119. These counties also account for 23,921 coronavirus deaths, roughly 32 percent of America’s total 74,844 deaths (these numbers are likely inflated due to the practice of funeral homes writing "COVID-19" on death certificates even without a confirmed coronavirus death). If the New York City area does account for between 60 and 65 percent of coronavirus cases elsewhere across the U.S., that represents between 535,845 and 580,499 cases. That means only between 312,576 cases and 357,230 cases came from other entry points, including hotspots like Seattle, Wash., or Miami, Fla. In other words, only between 25 percent and 29 percent of all U.S. coronavirus cases originated from places other than the New York City area. The vast majority of U.S. coronavirus cases either happened in the Tri-State Area or came from the Tri-State Area. |

| #12 Any transmittable disease. Had they not thrown out that historically tried and tested protocol, hundreds of thousands would be alive today because AIDS/HIV would have been shut down early. They threw away those protocols because of political influence, not science. And Fauci was a key figure when those decisions were being made. |

| #11 Most politicians are lawyers. They understand well the maxim "Never ask a question you don't already know the answer to (or might have an answer you don't like)." What's going on here is that simple. |

| #10 They threw away those protocols because of political influence, not science. Science is what scientists do. And, by now, most of these disagreeable fellows been driven out. In fact, nowadays most universities perfected the methodologies for spotting these pests in their larval phase (students). |

| #9 We did it with TB and other maladies. One thing we didn't do was quarantine the healthy. And we still shouldn't. |

| #7 - that the best way we have to deal with viral diseases is isolating the infected. Any transmittable disease. Had they not thrown out that historically tried and tested protocol, hundreds of thousands would be alive today because AIDS/HIV would have been shut down early. They threw away those protocols because of political influence, not science. |

| #6 I suppose we will be extinct in any case some day, whether it's now or in 30 million years. I prefer to wait, of course.... |

| #5 Viruses will always be with us and a part of us. Not necessarily. We can become extinct. We will, unless we get our shit together. For now, CV19 is - a gentle remainder - that the best way we have to deal with viral diseases is isolating the infected. |

| #4 /\. Indeed. |

| #3 I disagree. Viruses will always be with us and a part of us. Fear, panic and anxiety are the true problem. I see this every day. The brown shirts have willingly embraced the day. Power to confront others or report on them is a power they enjoy. The numbers are so bastardized to be grossly inaccurate. |

| #2 The most important thing to remember about CV19 pandemic is that it's just starting. |

| #1 We don't have a coronavirus problem in this country. We have a New York problem. De Blasio certainly and probably Cuomo as well are criminally negligent. |
