Read today that a lot of hotel and restaurant chains where aloud to tap into the SBA loans, despite the fact they are not even close to being considered “small” business. F%#$ing lobbyists!
Corporations are people too!

Boat launches in Harriman State Park all closed. There goes my Spring fishing. ? Damn trails are still open but every yahoo within 50 miles is going there so forget that. My only saving grace is that Blauvelt state park is still open to MTBer and hikers. It’s small but less than 5 miles from my house so I’ll take it.
Got this exciting email from Chase today...
Here is the high-level overview of the review and approval process: Here's the update on your application: Current Status: Stage 1, Application received Although we continue to work through our queue in anticipation of additional funds for the program, we want you to know there are more than 100,000 applications ahead of you at Chase, based on when you submitted your inquiry.
FYI- I applied on the 3rd day when they opened up the process to Independent Contractors and Sole Proprietors.

I understand what you are saying but I think the problem is that telling the high risk people to stay home will not work if the rest of us bring it home to them. I have an elderly relative in an assisted living facility. They are quarantined to their room. Their exposure is from the “healthy” staff that come in to bring meals and help with things. The facility is doing everything they possibly can do to minimize exposure (masks, gloves, extra disinfecting etc) and I think thy are going above and beyond. Yet they have still had residence get sick.Might be unpopular opinion, but I feel we need to open up the country with restrictions. One major one would be having to wear a face mask while in close proximity in public. Work exemptions for elderly, or those with compromised immune systems, so THEY can stay home. And no dine-in at restaurants. I realize what has been done to our economy is already done, but this is rather ridiculous. Pretty much all because people do not practice personal hygiene.
It's here. We're all going to get it..... And be fine in a week to 10 days. Kinda like.... The flu.
Seriously, someone find an article where a person who had it was interviewed, and described it. You'd think that with the 100,000's of people infected, that would be an easy thing to find. It's not. Strange IMO.
I can dredge up quite a few of these in this thread, if you want. Heard Gov. Murphy on the radio on Saturday say that there have been more deaths from C19 in the last six weeks than the last THREE YEARS of the flu, so, yeah, no.
I went to nursing school with this guy. You can click on his "covid-19" stories here and see his almost daily updates from his first ICU shift with covid, to getting it himself, to him going back to work. Healthy 27(I think that's his age) year old.I can dredge up quite a few of these in this thread, if you want. Heard Gov.

Updated the second tab of the spreadsheet (the one with absolute numbers)
to color the 3-day and 5-day moving averages when they fall below the long-term moving average.
17 states are there with the 3 day, NJ isn't (but is below for 5 day - looks like a reporting delay)
Do we think NY residents are more vulnerable? Or did it just get to the compromised or unwilling to seek healthcare faster/harder.
My disconnect here is that in NY 1.25% of the population has confirmed positive, and 0.93% of the population has died from it.
Is this a worst-case? or is this expected when areas start to open? Why would these other places which such high infection prevalence
via mass testing not be seeing the same symptomatic/critical/deaths ratios? at least the symptomatic ratio?
Perhaps the age/co-morbidity is very different?
still not sure why the dropdown selector for the graph isn't working. attempted to giver perms.

No line at BJ's in riverdale but they are out of eggs.
If you want the best source (IMHO) of where we are with clinical trials (and not just for this virus), go here:
ClinicalTrials.gov

NYC demographics? Lot's of poor and black who seem to be hit the hardest.

Another decimal pt error - 0.093% of NY population dead. Seems pretty clear this is worse case - nowhere else is close - most of the states have death rates 1/10 that of NY on a population basis. Probably a combination of health of the infected population plus the medical system coming close to being overwhelmed.
And speaking of health systems getting overwhelmed - I'm going to wait for a few more days of data but Sweden does not seem to be getting worse. Their last 10 days the ave new cases is around 500.
