So where do you fall on this matter? Are you a "Doomer" or are you just cheerleeding for the virus?

I am asking because certain elements of the political fringes are hoping the virus destroys the economy for an election advantage, and it is not at all lost on my observations that the media sources you keep posting as evidence are known to be aligned on one side of this fringe... Care to comment?

I am a "Realist" - one who is desperately trying to understand the severity of CV19 because I fall in Category 1 - most likely to die from CV19. I am taking all the precautions recommended by the experts. I am trying to live some semblance of a "normal life" but will make what ever sacrifices are asked of me.

I wish we had a "wartime" president (like FDR) instead of a real estate salesman. I wish Andrew Cuomo was president. I wish people would take S-I-P seriously as opposed to a two week vacation.

I use MS Edge as my browser so it's home page is where I get access to news and such:

I try not to post Opinion or Analysis pieces. They are not news. I do not have an agenda when it comes to politics. Frankly the subject boors me. Never in my life have I been interested in politics. I think in the last 30 years I have gone to the polls maybe 3X to vote for anyone. One definitely sticks out. Lynbrook High School wanted more money - a lot of money. It was put to the voters to say yah or nay. Voters said nay. LHS didn't like that so somehow they were able to hold another vote. Voters once again said nay. So LHS used some buried in fine print law that allowed them to sidestep the voters and got their money. And I got a $3000 per year increase in my property taxes.

Lee,

Excellent. Good Man!

What's in Lees pockets leaving the house:

Wallet - check
Keys - check
Cellphone - check
Pocket knife - check
Magnifying reading glasses with case - check
Lipstick sized flashlight - check
Clean snot rag - check
2 Pair of rubber gloves - check
Surgical mask - check
Half a dozen disposable alcohol wipes - check
Cigarettes - check
Cigarette lighter - check

Leaving the car - backpack with 10 reusable plastic bags for bagging groceries*

OK Alex - all set, let's go!

*NM has a ban on plastic bags but somehow the ones Walmart sells (really heavy duty) slipped through the ban. Bought 20 of them for $2.00. Keep 10 in the car and another 10 in the closet to replace any that rip or tear.

As is the case with any drug. Two grams of almost any drug will kill you.

Maybe it is time to "thin the herd." You can apply that to any demographic you like.

We can talk statistics and overreaction, etc, but anyone here want to be the first to volunteer?

To make sure you are not taking that quote out of context I was referring to businesses not human life.

OK, who wants to be the first to volunteer their business/job.

Coronavirus cases in New York State now top 10,000

Quote:

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Saturday morning that the number of coronavirus cases in the state has increased by more than 3,000 and now tops 10,000.

The state has conducted 45,437 tests, he said, and now has a total of 10,356 coronavirus cases.

"The more tests you take, the more positives you find," he said, adding that New York is now conducting more tests per capita than China or South Korea.

The governor also said that because the federal government on Friday declared New York a "major disaster" the state is eligible for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) aid. He said FEMA is now helping to get temporary hospitals up and running in the state.

New York City alone has 6,211 cases, an increase of 1,800. Case number increases are slowing in Westchester County while they are growing on Long Island.

The state's rate of hospitalization is now 15 percent of coronavirus cases, the governor said.

Cuomo said the state anticipates that between 40 and 80 percent of New Yorkers will be infected with coronavirus, however, authorities hope to spread out the rate of infection in order to not overwhelm the state's health system.
