Oh those plants China owns or the ones working all that cheap labor if that was the case ?? Supporting all that globalism is tough these days, but the nation grinds forward under the strain of it all.Precautions are one thing, but this thing has gotten way, way out of line.The biggest problem is every death is now a Wuflu death.
That too, which is why nobody should pay attention to the ideologues on either wing, and take reasonable precautions for the time being.
yes, in many places; but in NYC and some other places they need more than what they've got now, and they need to be able to enforce some basic rules, since 'voluntary compliance' only works with adults; look at the tards around the country assaulting kids workoing in stores for doing their jobs and asking them to don masks, as if store owners have no rights to set standards for their own property. Those gimps are even further out of line.
New York right now has a daily growth rate the same as South Korea, it took them time to get a hold of it but the have it down at the moment...
Rule of thumb worldwide is
New York is
- Daily Growth under 0.5%
- Ability to test 2% of the population a week
- Positive tests <1%
I say New York is good for open..
- Daily Growth under 0.4%
- Is testing 1.4% of the population a week
- Positive tests <1%
Now lets look at Texas:
This is not a red or blue thing, these are the facts...
- Daily Growth 2.5%
- Is testing 0.5% of the population a week
- Positive tests 5.7% (approx)
There are places in Texas which do meet the target numbers but you would have to restrict travel between them and is that really feasible?
Texas cases are of course concentrated in cities with a lot of international travel plus large minority populations. That being said, Texas is a long way from New York's numbers of infections, plus we know probably a million New Yorkers fled the city, particularly lower Manhattan. Texas has some 51,600 cases to New York's 354,000 and New Jersey's 152,000. 0.004 x 502,000 = 2,000 + new infections daily, while .025 x 51,000 =1,300 new infections a day. New York has 20 million people, Texas has 29 million.
Assuming we actually had the real numbers, which we don't.
Are you sure about that? I live in Amarillo, up here in the TX panhandle, and there has been a large increase in cases up here over the past couple of weeks. And, it wasn't due to international travel or large minority populations, most of the cases we have had came from the meat processing plants around here.
Tyson is owned by China? Are you sure about that? And, it's been mainly the Tyson and Smithfield processing plants that have seen large outbreaks of the virus.
