New York and New Jersey has more deaths than California Florida Texas and Georgia combined. All the states everyone wants to criticize.

This. 100%. They got hit first that is all. Now they are done. Other states got hot later and will soon be done too. What was disastrous for New York is the number of deaths. They have more deaths than California Florida and Arizona combined! They are now at herd immunity and honestly I think many New Yorkers are traveling and socializing too. It’s just not spreading there. Anymore.

They're "done" because they've kept indoor activity closed down. Open the bars and indoor restaurants back up, start having some Knicks games and concerts at the Garden, and let's see how "done" they are. Herd immunity my azz.

+1. I am amazed and grateful for scientists and researchers, every day.

Not sure about the herd immunity. I haven't heard anything definitive (though I hope that you are correct!!).
BUT as a NY'er and a lifelong Democrat, I am honestly stunned at Cuomo's (and DeBlasio's) mismanagement of the virus situation. Even more shocking is the fact that he's publishing a book glorifying his COVID response. I know this thread isn't for political commentary, but I did want to agree with your sentiments

But here is some very positive/good news:

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nyc-school-deal-made-gyms-reopen-today-so-whats-next-cuomo-gave-a-hint/2597661/

Further good news is that now that NY seems to have flattened (or at least lowered the curve drastically), other states can use our data as a case study for how they should proceed.

We are not opening up bars or MSG yet, DW!
Our leaders are moving very slowly in reopening process

+1. I am amazed and grateful for scientists and researchers, every day.

+2. Very interesting, especially the part about vitamin D.

"Interestingly, Jacobson’s team also suggests vitamin D as a potentially useful Covid-19 drug. The vitamin is involved in the RAS system and could prove helpful by reducing levels of another compound, known as REN. Again, this could stop potentially deadly bradykinin storms from forming. The researchers note that vitamin D has already been shown to help those with Covid-19. The vitamin is readily available over the counter, and around 20% of the population is deficient. If indeed the vitamin proves effective at reducing the severity of bradykinin storms, it could be an easy, relatively safe way to reduce the severity of the virus."

So that means all the people who spent time at the beach this summer, should be well prepared?

Thank you for highlighting this! I bought a bottle of vitamin D early in COVID and haven’t been very good about taking it. I’m pulling it out now to start taking it again!

I stopped taking my vitamin d supplement and now realize how foolish I've been

Not necessarily if they have darker skin or wore lots of sunscreen.

It could be a coincidence of geography (i.e., proximity to NY), but it could also explain the difference in case fatality rates between the NE and South/Southwest. CFR has started to tick up a little in some southern states, but remember, people there go outside less in peak summer, when it's so brutally hot.

Meh. It's very, very, very difficult (although people still try to) to ignore Sweden. COVID is rapidly dying out in Sweden despite not shutting down or not wearing masks.

I've spent time in NY recently and people are not behaving any differently there than in Maryland or Virginia or Pennsylvania or California where most indoor venues were also closed. There's still crowds outside, packed parks, and of course all the protests and whatnot. Lots of people queuing up for takeaways.

NY and Sweden are in similar positions because it's pretty clear both reached some kind of immunity threshold.
