Flatten the curve, be a responsible citizen and stay at home to save a life.

“If you notice, 18% of the people came from nursing homes, less than 1% came from jail or prison, 2% came from the homeless population, 2% from other congregate facilities, but 66% of the people were at home, which is shocking to us,” Cuomo said.

“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.”

Cuomo said nearly 84% of the hospitalized cases were people who were not commuting to work through car services, personal cars, public transit or walking. He said a majority of those people were either retired or unemployed. Overall, some 73% of the admissions were people over age 51.

While data shows the coronavirus is on the decline in New York, the new survey results appear to clash with Cuomo’s prior assurances that isolation can reliably prevent transmission.


So nearly 90% of the new cases came from a population that was in someway contained and/or restricted from free movement.

I'd start by tracing all those who visited the people who got infected while staying at home...

if you're at home...don't let anyone in and don't answer the doorbell!!!

Ahhh... so the precautions that were taken were not stringent enough. The data clearly leads to the obvious conclusion: it's not that the lock-down might not have been the right thing to do, it means we haven't done right.

We should be hermetically sealing ourselves indoors and never leave in order to make sure the boogie monster doesn't follow us home or slip in when the door it's opened. Maybe paint lambs blood over the threshold and a little dab behind each ear. It can't hurt and we must do anything and everything to insure we get this plague under control.

(In these) Drastic times require drastic measures.
