so yeah as this thread said multiple times health departments weren't counting people who died in nursing homes; the real death rate was easily over 3000 at the peak and is probably at least a 9/11 per day once we get the revised numbers in a month

It wasn't about not going to work or out to park or shopping or whatever it was 2/3 people were sleeping in thier own beds at night and not at an old folks home or homeless shelter or jail or something. It's 2020 if something sounds exaggerated take ten seconds and read the article because it probably is.

No, it's literally just people who didn't leave thier home and either end up living in a group setting or becoming homeless. Your response is exactly what the headline is trying to force on people by being entirely misleading.

I'm trying to parse your response and I don't get what you're saying here. Someone in a group setting that didn't leave was exposed because someone else brought it in and exposed them. In a strict enough lockdown, you should get pretty close to 100% of cases being people who stayed home because that's going to be everyone anyway.

It took less than a minute to open the article, read it, copy/paste, and post this.

quote:

Hospitals were asked to document where their most recent COVID-19 patients had been staying before admission, Cuomo said, and 66 percent came from their own homes.

About 18 percent came from nursing homes, 4 percent from assisted-living facilities, 2 percent were homeless, 2 percent had been at other "congregate" settings, fewer than 1 percent were prison or jail inmates, and 8 percent were classified as "other."

"This is a surprise," the governor told reporters at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in Manhasset, New York. "Sixty-six percent of the people were at home, which is shocking to us."

Yeah but you didn't keep reading:

The governor said it was “shocking" that 66% of new coronavirus hospitalizations are people who are either retired or unemployed and not commuting to work on a regular basis.

It's not they're talking about people who literally live at home, it's that they're talking about people who don't commute to work.

can't wait to reach the peak so this post from the future makes sense.

haha, they're already projecting this many CV19 deaths per month and they're being extremely, wildly optimistic in doing so.

I mean Cuomo is literally misrepresenting this information, in order to confuse people, in that very statement that you quoted. It's not that surprising that people are confused by this, they're trying to confuse people.

These are two different things.

Like the point is that some high percentage of people who have been infected have no reason to go outside of their house except for basic necessities, which is a totally meaningless statement in a state that's in lockdown. Because nobody is hermetically sealed in their homes so everyone has some chance of being exposed or coming into contact with someone who's been exposed, and it doesn't matter if you're unemployed or retired or whatever.

reminder that the flu number of 60k includes 45k deaths they just "assume" was the flu, which is fair and probably correct

New York is locked down so most people who get sick now are going to be people who "stayed home." They still had to be exposed to it somewhere because it's not like it's hunting you through walls or whatever the gently caress.

The results from a new set of surveys by Morning Consult found that 14 percent of American adults would not get a COVID-19 vaccine if one were available and 22 percent aren’t sure if they would. In a separate recent survey, currently undergoing peer review, political scientists Kristin Lunz Trujillo and Matt Motta found that 23% of U.S. respondents said they would not get vaccinated against COVID-19.

The article switches in the second part to talk about how most people getting sick are not front line workers but isn't clear about it so people read it as 'wow, 2/3 of the people who get this are observing stay at home orders and not leaving home at all' when that isn't what the data says or what the article is actually saying, though it is certainly what it is implying.

Yeah, response to this thing has turned in to a proxy war for politics in some frustrating but occasionaly delightful ways, especially for all the people that are usually 'I'm the sane moderate who thinks the truth is in the middle' types having crack ping moments about republicans openly being a death cult that wants to murder service workers.

i listened to cuomo's entire statement. seemed to me like he was implying that most of the 66% of people who said they "stayed at home" and still caught the virus were old people who did not socially distance.

not to defend the cuomo, gently caress him, but didnt seem that unreasonable. of course the media takes it out of context and distorts it

When I come into work the store is being sanitized and new plastic sheets are being hung, we're all wearing appropriate gear and are a skeleton crew to keep interaction down. Customers are limited and routed through the store and are also fully protected ppe or wait outside patiently while we fulfill their order. People that come in are grateful and polite and cautious. I feel like a hero helping out my community in such a challenging time.

I don't think your reading of the article is correct. The article mentions group settings, but the 66% that Cuomo is talking about and the 66% in the headline is specifically referring to people who are unemployed or retired. It's using those as proxies for "no reason to leave home." The end of the article mentions it too:

quote:

“This is a surprise: Overwhelmingly, the people were at home,” Cuomo said during a briefing on Long Island. “We thought maybe they were taking public transportation, and we’ve taken special precautions on public transportation, but actually no, because these people were literally at home.”

He's saying "they were at home" because they didn't have to take the subway or whatever to get to work. This is dumb for many, many reasons so I doubt we really disagree about much here though.

A vaccine will take over a year to be tested, authorized, manufactured, and distributed, at minimum. You should be skeptical of any vaccines that come out early.

well, they only exist to be worker drones/slaves for the ruling class, so if they're unemployed, they have no purpose to exist or do anything. bing bong
