New York’s little survey from 5/6

Anybody happen to see it? Can’t make it up because the Gov posted the results himself.

66%, yes 66%! Of 1000 patients who recently tested positive for Covid were, wait for it, Sheltering at HOME!!!

I’ll let the fact checkers find the chart for us.

They are going at this totally backwards. Anybody diagnosed should be admitted and put on O2 right away.

Think through it. Nearly the entire population is sheltering at home, therefore people sheltering at home will make up a disproportionate share of any sample.

Sheltering at home is not a causal issue, it is a correlation. If 75% of Polaris owners are sheltering at home it doesn't mean sheltering at home causes people to buy a Polaris.

It just means that someone else is bringing the virus into them. Loved one, health care giver, delivery, etc.

Yup, completely 100% agree.

Honest question: Then how did the 66% that stayed home get the virus?

Yes, meaning we didn't stop the virus. Its going to continue to flow through our communities. We can either take this thing head on and get on with life, or keep kicking the can down the road. Yes, people are going to keep getting it, and some will die. But, in the mean time, we have 33 MILLION people unemployed. The cure is costing us more than the virus.

Living in a 20 story Building may have something to do with it. Just like a big Hotel the air keeps recirculating.

That's why its a big City big Building problem. Mass transit is a get sick mode of transportation also.

X2 but then the gov of Michigan said hotels and motels can open but small resort cabins can’t! Go figure!
