Early look at data from 100 New York hospitals shows that 66% of new admissions related to the virus are people who were at home, Cuomo said.
Quote:
"This is a surprise: Overwhelmingly, the people were at home," he added. "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."
Quote:
Overall, some 73% of the admissions were people over age 51.

Staying home makes you feel safe, but does not make you safe.
I always assumed you were in H-Town by your handle. I read the bbc everyday, and was surprised to see that the UK had the highest death toll in Europe, passing Italy.59 South said:
Great thread. I'm in the UK, and the politicians here are absolutely frozen in fear with no idea what to do next. They played it off too long and now regret it. None of them want any more blood on their hands.
There is no exit plan from the 'stay at home' rules. It is just a full on government propaganda machine at this point:
'You're all doing a great job. Keep going. Stay at home. Save lives. Protect the NHS.'
It has gotten very tiresome and created a big split between people who have just started ignoring the rules and those drinking the propaganda koolaide and media fear porn. Some are literally demanding to keep schools closed until a vaccine is in everybody.
The politicians are in a no win situation at this point with the easy lowest risk policy of 'keep going'. It is both fascinating and unbearable at this point. So be glad most of you guys are in Texas.
For a good Twitter rabbit hole go check out Boris Johnson's tweets from the past few days. Then read the comments. It is fascinating.
In my London borough there are around 660 cases out of 280k+ population. They also made a large field hospital which hasn't been used at all because most regular hospitals are well below capacity. The old folks homes are however being crushed.
BS. If that were the case, we would have catastrophic deaths in each and every one of those facilities and not just hot spots here and there.cone said:
we have to admit that's easier said than done
we've utterly failed to protect long term care facilities to this point
but there's no reason not to make it the focus
Really doesn't sound that much different from Texas TBH.59 South said:

Agree w/Cone.
It seems that the likely reasonable approach is "open with masks/stand apart"
