Agree 100 percent, will be leaving for Northern Vermont in a week

NY Gov Cuomo was just on the news saying, of the recent covid hospitalizations in his state, 66% of the patients came from home while 18% came from nursing homes. My math says that works out to 84% of patients have been in "lock down". Seems to me that staying home, as everyone is telling us to do, is the leading cause of contracting the covid virus. Maybe the CDC doesn't know every thing.

If you don't want to go outside then don't. But don't get on me and others for our decision to go camping and venture outside, to live our lives. It's still a free country despite what some want us to believe.

Study shows the virus spreads more quickly in confined areas than in outdoors.

Okay all you hermits.. get out and spread out!

Not saying Im a naysayer or non-believer... I just believe in reasonable precautions. We were better socially distanced camping than here in town.

For a different perspective, see what the illustrious governor of New York recently said

With everything we’ve done – closed schools, closed businesses, everybody shelter at home, all the precautions about where a mask, where gloves, etc. – you still had 600 new cases that walked in the door yesterday,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. “Where are those new cases still coming from, because we’ve done everything we have to close down? How are you still generating 600 new cases every day?”

In trying to answer why patients keep being brought in and what their backgrounds are, a stunning finding jumped out. That shocking detail: Of all the places patients come from, like nursing homes and so on, most – 66% – were said to be social distancing at home.

The three day survey looked at 113 hospitals, getting back more than 1,200 responses

Not only does the results suggest they were not in subways, in taxis, for-hire vehicles, or otherwise on public, it finds that they left their houses not at all.

Eighty four percent were at home, literally. Were they working? No. They were retired or they were unemployed,” Cuomo said.

When you take away the percentages of those not working or retired you are left with just 17%, including essential workers in close contact with the public.

“We were thinking maybe we were going to find a higher percentage of essential employees who were getting sick because they were going to work. That these may be nurses, doctors, transit workers. That’s not the case, and they were predominantly at home,” Cuomo said.

Bingo! Despite what some people think you can't control nature! If you think you can then you are just as foolish as those that think they will never get it!

No comparison what so ever.

And I believe the Covid death totals in this country have occurred in just 3-4 months.?

And have been improperly reported resulting in the ridiculously high amount of deaths.

Yup, it is all just a conspiracy, but the smart people know it is a scam. ;)

Liked I said. No cure or vaccination for Carona Virus yet. Still dying like flies in MD, NY, etc and probably the only reason the numbers are as low as they are is because of the precautions most have taken.
