From the Daily Mail:

REVEALED: 66% of New York state coronavirus hospitalizations are people staying at HOME and NOT essential workers – which begs question: Does lockdown even work?

The majority of people who are still being hospitalized with the coronavirus across the state of New York are staying at home and are not essential workers, new data has revealed, prompting the questions of whether or not lockdown even works or for how much longer it will be necessary.

In a study of some 1,000 new patients admitted to New York hospitals over the last week, 66 percent were staying at home and 18 percent had come from nursing homes, meaning they either became infected by going out to get groceries or other essential items, or from seeing people outside of work.

Or… people locked down in buildings with recycled central HVAC and common hallways, stairwells, elevators, laundry facilities, and mail rooms spreads the virus more than being outside walking past a person who is infected.

New York’s apartment culture is apparently  far more dangerous than living in a single family home and going to work in a mid size Middle American town.

Everything about this virus shows that New York City is the infected asshole of America and the rest of the country should not suffer because of the way those people live.

From The New York Times:

Travel From New York City Seeded Wave of U.S. Outbreaks

New York City’s coronavirus outbreak grew so large by early March that the city became the primary source of new infections in the United States, new research reveals, as thousands of infected people traveled from the city and seeded outbreaks around the country.

The findings are drawn from geneticists’ tracking signature mutations of the virus, travel histories of infected people and models of the outbreak by infectious disease experts.

“We now have enough data to feel pretty confident that New York was the primary gateway for the rest of the country,” said Nathan Grubaugh, an epidemiologist at the Yale School of Public Health.

During crucial weeks in March, New York’s political leaders waited to take aggressive action, even after identifying hundreds of cases, giving the virus a head start. And by mid-March, when President Trump restricted travel from Europe, the restrictions were essentially pointless, the data suggest, as the disease was already spreading widely within the country.

Acting earlier would most likely have blunted the virus’s march across the country, researchers say.

“It means that we missed the boat early on, and the vast majority in this country is coming from domestic spread,” said Kristian Andersen, a professor in the department of immunology and microbiology at Scripps Research. “I keep hearing that it’s somebody else’s fault. That’s not true. It’s not somebody else’s fault, it’s our own fault.”

Geneticists have analyzed and shared more than 2,000 samples of the virus from infected people. As the virus infects new people and replicates, it picks up mutations along the way. These mutations typically do not change the behavior of the virus, but they can provide a signature of a virus’s origin.

Most samples taken in Texas, Ohio, Louisiana, Idaho, Wisconsin and many other states carry distinct mutations that can be traced back to viruses introduced into New York.

Over all, Dr. Grubaugh estimated, infections spreading from New York account for 60 to 65 percent of the sequenced viruses across the country.

So New York spread the virus to most of the rest of the United States because New York failed to lock down much earlier.

The Mayor and Governor have exacerbated the problem through every ridiculous possible policy.

They forced nursing homes to take sick patients creating elderly death centers.

They kept the subways open  creating underground transmission tubes.

Then the New York based media forced the rest of us to lockdown because of New York’s mishandling.

Lastly, volunteers who traveled to New York to assist their hospitals have to pay income tax in New York from employers out of state.

When all is said and done, New York will have destroyed any and all good will it has from the rest of the country.

Next time, the rest of the US will just watch as New York burns and all we do is make sure nobody escapes to spread whatever it is to the rest of us.

Reader Roger G. just dropped this one in my mailbox.

The Miami Herald is now begging for handouts in order to keep their special brand of “journalism” alive. The move comes as no surprise, it’s long been known the paper’s local community has lost interest in what the Herald has to say, and it’s advertisers have lost confidence in the newspaper’s ability to influence readers.

Newspapers like the Herald have been in financial trouble for years. Though advertisers have been pulling the plug for a while, the panicked, coronavirus-caused economic slowdown has exacerbated the problem to the point they have now resorted to begging for cash from local residents to help support the Coronavirus Local News Fund.

The Miami Herald has turned to begging to support their biased reporting and fear-mongering

I had to check the individual donations to find out when did the begging fund raising began: 3 days ago. And at time of posting, they had “showered” with close to $14,000 or about $5K a day.

Your tax-deductible gift can ensure we continue to report on the coronavirus and all of its impacts across our diverse communities. We aim to raise $350,000 to keep our reporters digging for information on your behalf, our visual journalists capturing the images and our editors fine-tuning the work to deliver essential news and information to you.

I have no idea about donations, but I thought the Herald was a for-profit corporation (I know, they suck at it) and as such they shouldn’t be able to get tax-deductible “gifts.” If a reader knows the details on how is that done, please share in the comments. It will be much appreciated.

Anyway, to the Miami Herald reporters and editors, I am sure some out-of-town rich individual will buy you devotion donate enough so you can continue to be a propaganda tool for the left the top newspaper in Miami Dade county (coughBloomycough.) But in case that does not happy, I leave you with this:

From CNN:

Dozens more children hospitalized in New York with rare symptoms that could be linked to coronavirus

If there was one nice thing to say about COVID-19 it is that the virus spared children. We can’t sat that as much anymore.

In an advisory to health care providers, state officials said 64 children in New York have been hospitalized with a condition doctors described as “pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome.”

Some of the children had persistent fever, toxic shock syndrome and features similar to Kawasaki disease, the state health advisory said.

Kawasaki disease causes inflammation in the walls of the arteries and can limit blood flow to the heart. While it’s usually treatable and most children recover without serious problems, it can also be deadly. It mainly affects children under age 5.

One of the things that we learned is that the Coronavirus seems to have mutated in Italy into a much more virulent strain and that strain is causing all the problems in New York.

It may be that the New York strain mutated again into a child killer.

There is also this news from The New York Times:

Travel From New York City Seeded Wave of U.S. Outbreak

If NYC has a new child killing strain of Coronavirus, and New York is what caused the US outbreak, then the only thing to do is bomb the bridges and tunnels and isolate that human petri dish from the rest of the country in the next 90 minutes.

If that fails, thermo nuclear weapons may be the answer.  Nothing kills a virus like high intensity gamma radiation.

It might be a necessity step to save Middle America’s children.
