  1. Maybe our national debt means very little in the grand scheme of things? Since we are the most powerful country in the world. The weakening of our dollar won't occur when the entire globe is also experiencing a weakening of their own currency. The USA GDP is so large that when we do bad the world does bad and vice versa. We are on our own little shielded island.
  2. There are not rent/mortgage cancellations. Mortgage payments are allowed to be added on to the end of the loan. Rent I am not sure about. What are the laws for this in NYS? My dads tenants are not paying, I know that. Do they get added on to the end of the lease?
  3. It looks like it only has democratic support, doubt it gets passed.
  4. This is the type of thing to jump start the economy. Americans love to spend. The recession will be short lived if something like this passes. Corporate earnings will come back stronger then ever. The only negative is an increase in national debt.
  5. In the last 10 years I've never had the flu in the summer. I think I caught the common cold 1-2 times though.
  6. I guess the same way in which the flu season exists all year, but really only emanates itself in winter. Maybe that's due to more people inside in winter, more close contact, or the virus having a tough time surviving outside in comparison to indoors. However it may be Australia has 95 deaths in the last 3 months, while New York with a population of 19.5 million has almost 25,000.
  7. So explain the 95 deaths? Their stay at home orders are nearly the same as ours. Have a friend that lives in Adelaide. Feb-April here is equivalent to August to October here. August to October here is quite warm compared to the latter.
  8. Wolf you're in a legit perfect spot. You get pounded in winter, retain snow, and get solid warm/sunny summers. Pretty close to towns/cities too, 20 or so minutes?
  9. Australia has 25 million people and only 95 deaths. I believe sun and warmth kills this thing quick. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/australia/
  10. Only 300 new hospitalizations from Fri-Sat, it's going down quicker than I thought. Once the real warmth gets here I believe it will go down even quicker. https://covidtracking.com/data/state/new-york
  11. 20 degree disparity over the course of very few miles. I would highly prefer Syracuse over Watertown if I lived around there.
  12. Found my answer, love reddit The "recent drop" in U.S. pneumonia deaths is actually an always-present lag in reporting https://preview.redd.it/112zudxyqrr41.gif?format=mp4&s=9f04aa55a4658ddbb14350af64f0591fc4d7979c
  13. Yeah I used to mountain bike there a lot back in the day, haven't been in awhile though.
  14. Social distancing is pretty much done here. Chestnut ridge had about half of erie countys population at it earlier today. Luckily I have a secret trail no one knows about where I can walk freely with my dog and no one else.
  15. Numbers declining quite rapidly in NYS. Would be surprised if Cuomo extends pass May 15th.
  16. The CDC just posted this on their FB page. Wonder if Trump forced them to? He has 6 months until election time, can't have a pandemic going on during that time. Wouldn't look good on him. According to the latest CDC COVIDView report, increases in hospitalization rates for COVID-19, which are cumulative, have started to level off. The hospitalization rate is highest among adults 65 and older and similar to what has been seen during a comparable time period during a recent high severity flu season: https://bit.ly/2ViFflZ
  17. @OSUmetstud Thoughts? https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.26.20079244v1
  18. Interesting https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/comparing-covid-19-deaths-to-flu-deaths-is-like-comparing-apples-to-oranges/ In the last six flu seasons, the CDC’s reported number of actual confirmed flu deaths—that is, counting flu deaths the way we are currently counting deaths from the coronavirus—has ranged from 3,448 to 15,620, which far lower than the numbers commonly repeated by public officials and even public health experts.
