I posted in OT because it shouldn't be a political discussion. Hopefully mods will moderate it as such.Should you post political threads in the Politics and News sub forum?
Less than 1% positive infection rate in NY currently. And people are still railing on Cuomo. I'll take 1% and have kids take their chances at school... because virtual learning was a real f'n disaster last year. Plus they still get rec and gym. Staying at home everyday is for the birds.
I mean we did go out to the park, neighborhood runs and biking, but that won't work in the winter and the thought of "what can we do today to change it up?" was getting old.My kids have been hitting the backyard pool.

Yeah. I feel bad for Cuomo considering how front and center he was when NYC was in the midst of crisis. He was dealing with nonsense from the White House and the media speculation inciting more panic...or not enough panic.Less than 1% positive infection rate in NY currently.

BTW, I'm immuno-compromised (no spleen) and still feel this way.
I'm not ever in NYC much, but from the Times Square Cam, it's probably 30% of what it was. But obviously not supposed to be big on tourists now.Yeah.

How's NYC these days pertaining to public gatherings and restaurant dining and public transit? Is it 20% of what it was prior to March? 50%? 70%? I'm just curious how much people are still in hiding. In the South, people are FINALLY understanding, but Texas, Florida, and Georgia are the only states really peaking. The others are going to take more infections and deaths before herd immunity is achieved.
Many schools with young children end up with infected staff, who infect more children. It's just like the nursing home issue...you can't stop the spread easily when people are that close and sharing the breathable air.
Lots of places give you this data, but generally I've only seen it at the state level or county level, not the city level.
