If this was a good, state-wide random sampling, I'd bet my 401(k) that the number is a least double in NYC and the immediately surrounding suburbs like Rockland.

More than likely, let's say 5 million total in NYC and surrounding suburbs. With 15,500 NY deaths to date from Covid, that would make the virus survival rate 99.7%. It's not very neat where you can just define what happens within the NYS borders though.

Possibly a plateau up here or a statistical adjustment as testing as been increased...

You know
I’m not a huge fan of what he said or how he said it

many med procedures kill life
Kemo comes to mind
So does radiation therapy
And many medications in certain doses are poisons

Medicine is part art part science many times it’s not simply what you do
But how you do it

What is the correct way to approach something like this?

[[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]We know now that 64 percent of those who have died in New York were aged over 70. Of patients hospitalized with the disease, 94 percent had underlying conditions such as obesity or diabetes. Did the models include a scenario in which we focused efforts on protecting the elderly and infirm while allowing the young and healthy to keep the economy ticking?

I'd guess you'd run a Sweden "Let It Run Wild" Model's data on the entire population and put in some "protection" factor in for the elderly. Your thoughts?

No idea about the policies of every individual country in the world, how is Sweden doing? Can anyone claim they are the "Best" or "Worst" country in their results or should we include or exclude them in the EU reporting?

Sweden is basically Laissez Faire, no closures, schools open, allowing the disease to run its course. so I'd consider that a control, and some factor could be factored in for managed and careful car for the elderly.

Our plateau continues, although we've just hit 50 deaths and are just about to break 1,000 on diagnosed cases (990) state wide. Right now cases are resolving at the same rate of new infections, a very "flat" curve...

can understand how many states' populaces think this whole thing is a farce looking at your numbers. the Massapequas alone have a thousand positives.

Suffolk county Golf courses scheduled to open Monday, Nassau courses already open, both with restrictions.

I am not ready to try that public setting yet.
Any thoughts?

Should be good IF, everyone is practicing social distancing, you wear a mask, and you use a disinfectant wipe to wipe off the flags, sand trap rakes and anything else you may touch that don't belong to you...

There’s no reason to be close enough to them outside
Anyone can play a round without getting within 25 feet of a soul of thats their worry

I’ll concede if you wish to Wear one when checking in and paying, it could be helpful and most likely legally required

but once your on the t box you can be plenty separated

They should understand Maine living IS social distancing...

Maine: 1.5 million people over 35K square miles or 43 people and a few moose per square mile

Massapequa NY: 24K people in 4 sq miles or 6K people per square mile
