Great - let's hope those numbers are accurate and continue heading down.

Awesome! Less spreading of the virus at testing clinics. I like that

Hospitalizations and deaths (outside of NY region) trending down for past 2 weeks. nY region (NY NJ CT) taken out as numbers are so large hard to see trends

I must wonder if it hadn't been for NYC metro region would have we even noticed there was a pandemic rather than just an unusually bad flu-like season that made the nightly news a few times.

Was recently wondering the same.
NYC seems to be the biggest outlyer when it comes to our numbers. If we take NY out of the equation, how bad are things in the rest of the country? If anyone has that data it certainly would be interesting to see.

Not sure if it's because NY state is poorly managed, or because it's simply very congested... Or something else... Or a mixture of a few different things...

Just overall curious about this.

The rest of the country's cases, hospitalizations and deaths are going up when you take NYC out of the picture. NYC's decline in those things is what's keeping the rest of the country stable. Take them out, and the curve is still rising.

Where can I find this info? Would be interesting to see. Is there a clear and updated graph somewhere?

No, because it isn’t correct. https://twitter.com/michaelcburgess/status/1260663989144563716?s=21

Yay! Good news!

This is the tweet: (determine it how you wish)


"Nationwide excluding New York region which had sustained declines in new covid cases, hospitalizations, and deaths for weeks; nationally we were seeing steady increases. But trend over past two weeks is now declining. The national epidemic is slowing. Doubling time is now 45 days" https://t.co/2AN8rQwDC6


Also guys... This is a friendly reminder to please provide sources to your posts. It's the polite thing to do when sharing news...

That tweet is from yesterday. It is starting to level off in the rest of the country. But it very clearly says non NYC CASES HAD BEEN INCREASING.

Australia is in the equivalent of our November. No second wave.
