if you're coughing

And you have it, but that’s getting into the weeds again, and you’ve already demonstrated an ability to cast out there and make someone else get it unstuck. I agree that social distancing/the lockdown would have been wildly more successful (and shorter) if implemented more strictly and quickly. But that doesn’t mean it didn’t have an effect. Towns and cities looked like something out of a sci-fi flick.

I don’t believe it is stopped, did you say that? Maybe Cuomo is having a ‘Mission Accomplished’ moment, but it seems to me what he’s referring to is accomplishing a milestone of ‘control’ of the spread.

It's pretty much over in NYC - seriously. The only way it will come back is if there's another strain. Their social distancing, etc., did not stop the virus at all.

Search for the NYC health department COVID information page - I apparently don't have enough rep yet to post links.

Take a look at the charts, particularly for daily hospitalizations and deaths. In case you think, "well, maybe they controlled it?" No, that's not possible.

The only way to get that far through the curve - short of total isolation for the entire population, which didn't happen - is herd immunity.

I posit that you have no concept of what it has been like, or just how shut down It has been.

I further dispute your scientific pedigree to even make statements of this nature with any weight behind them.

Fuck off, we’re full!
