NY Governor Andrew Cuomo said in today briefing that NY death for May 6th (yesterday) was 231 which was improving. He's a BUST! According to worldometer (where CDC update the reports) shows more than 700+ people died in NY yesterday and 400+ today so far. Why would he lie something like this - not cool. 

Cmon man. I'm not a fan of Cuomo but thats weaksauce.

This must be way old. We’re over 75,000 deaths. We were at 33,513 deaths like a month ago lol. Not saying it’s not accurate but definitely outdated.

Yeah it's old data but pretty clear that this is primarily only affecting the very old. Have them stay at home while we develop herd immunity and we should be good to go. I'm not injecting myself with a rushed vaccine. I'd rather get the virus.

Study: Coronavirus appears to die quickly in direct sunlight

“What we have found so far is that sunlight seems to be very detrimental to the virus,” Dabisch explained. “And so within minutes, the majority of the virus is inactivated on surfaces and in the air in direct sunlight.”

Nursing homes have been the site of many super-spreader events. When testing was nearly unavailable, nursing homes were given priority for test kits. As a result, this data is going to skew to the very old. Age is certainly a risk factor, but there’s an inherent bias in this sample, and if people draw the conclusions that this disease really just kills the elderly, that bias is potentially very dangerous.

Oh you haven't heard? It's now been stated after, I believe it was senator Rand Paul, was walking around without a mask on be cause he said he tested positive for it. The doctors have quickly said not so fast we are not sure how long anyone who has contracted the virus us immune, if at all, due to there being many strains. This is becoming bullshit.

I believe young people are definitely getting it, my good friend of 25 and his entire family got it. Everyone beat it besides his grandpa of 85 years. He was good after 12 days. It has a low mortality rate for those under 65-70.

That is interesting I was under the impression that if you already had it you had the antibodies to not get it again and that you're no longer contagious, just like any other viral disease. If not I hung out with my buddy who had it a few weeks after he had it. I must be asymptomatic then?

In general yes but there always exceptions.This could behave like mono, where you carry the virus for life and it can be reactivated through environmental stressors. We just don't know yet.

Too bad it doesn't work well in high population in the northeast since the summer is not hot up there and I have been hearing a year without summer this year in the northeast so not good news.

That's the great question now. I'm kinda getting tired of information overload and what is true what is not. I'm getting tested next Friday with my wife (who thankfully tested negative at the time of her test last week) for the antibodies to see if we were ever positive or have immunity. I, like you, am hoping that if you I can had it you will be immune.

The data you cite has no information about mortality rates. It’s just a list of total deaths by age group, without even the context of a date. Without reliable mortality rate data and an aggressive testing plan, it’s hard to imagine that people will want to come running back to work.

Markets are going up and up. Everything I thought I knew about investments has been thrown out the window. I guess the only thing that maybe makes sense is all of the future earnings are "factored in" to the current market? Consumers drive the economy, corporate earnings are going to be the lowest in nearly a generation.

Stop paying them to stay at home and watch how fast they come back to work...

The POTUS was butchered over saying something similar. I for one am hoping to see this to be true - plus the added vitamin D from sunlight helps the immune system. Get outside people!

CNN really is fake news, just reading this is facepalm

https://www.cnn.com/business/live-news/stock-market-news-050820/index.html

Headline- Here's why growing paychecks is bad news

 

American paychecks just got a whole lot bigger. That's not the great news you'd expect it to be.

Hourly wages were up 4.7% from March to April, significantly higher than the 0.3% average monthly increase from the previous 12 months.

Paychecks grew by nearly 8% from a year ago, way more than the average 3.5% yearly increase Americans have been getting over the past year.

The reason for the giant pay increase was a negative one: So many people in lower-paying services jobs have been among the first to get laid off or furloughed.

Paycheck growth was a strange quirk in the jobs report: More high-income earners stayed in their jobs than low-income workers, skewing the wage data higher.
