Except that New York’s surge in community spread began in a suburb of New York City, New Rochelle.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/26/us/new-y ... index.html
What the data suggests is that New York City’s surge of community spread was brought in through a suburb, New Rochelle, which has a tiny 4% Asian American population.
That makes sense as commuters into NYC are a prime vulnerable population with their close spacing in trains. Interestingly, there is a train from New Rochelle to NYC Grand Central Station every 30 minutes. From Grand Central, the virus could spread everywhere in the City.
So why focus on the Chinese Americans in NYC when the data suggests the community spread began in New Rochelle, where there is a small Asian American population?
That probably reflects the insidious racist effect of calling coronavirus a “Chinese virus.”

Yep one guy in New Rochelle had more of an influence than:
There were around 20,000 people at the celebrations — on par with the crowd size in previous years, according to state Sen. John Liu.
“We have no confirmed cases in New York and we want people to know Chinatown is open and as vibrant as ever,” New York state Senator Brian Kavanagh said.

Yeah ... since with this virus, “one guy” can spread the virus to 50 other people.
Why the apparent animosity towards Chinese Americans?

That is an awefull big assumption. The first guy who tested positive for the virus and presumptive first person to get the virus by community spread. With all the people coming through the city on a daily basis, I find it hard to believe they can tell this with any realm of certainty you state here.

I think FanLax, InsideLacrosse, and USLacrosse should get the two Maryland senators to bring them some SBA aid from that bill. Not even kidding, btw.

Absolutely. I can buy either argument, which says you can't really buy either as definitive truth. What I know is it was a human being, and ethnicity, race had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
The real question is, why NYC had no reported cases in the time frame? Lack of testing is the most likely answer.

A perspective on one guy’s long term international supply chain and the impact of the “Chinese” virus.
“As most of our supply chain is overseas, we are a little bit more insulated. China factories were far away from the Wuhan epicenter and quite honestly, China has done a far better job controlling the spread because 1) they don’t have a pluralistic system and 2) they are not run by anti-science zealots. They are pragmatists in every sense of the word.”

Uhhh, we don’t consider Florida part of the south in the south.

Maybe in 15-20yrs you can be just a yankee but we love you anyway” and I can assure you there’s a major, Major difference.

Sure the panhandle is a great place to see jean shorts and mullets but Florida kind of lives in its own place like Texas, also not a part of the south.

We're number 1 in Confirmed Corona cases.
This is due to the High Amount of testing issued by Trump.
(A good thing to stop the spread)
Now the Left, who called him racist for a travel ban, is blaming Trump’s “poor leadership” for High Confirmed Cases.

Then they beat the record Wednesday. Then they beat the record again on Thursday.

The US is testing 1 in every 1,090 people and our confirmed cases are ballooning.
If Trump had prepared us two months ago and gotten test manufacturing ramped up back then, we'd have High Amount of testing and Low Confirmed cases.
Do you understand that? That's poor leadership that you are admiring.
Re: All things Chinese CoronaVirus
Two months ago would've been great but can be forgiven. Especially relative to other world leaders. The real issue is today and tomorrow. He's still hasn't embraced the reality of our situation. How can one lead when you can't accurately assess a situation.

All this with a the national debt going ever upwards, the economy and stock market in decline, unemployment rising, with a plague menacing everyone here - yet his approval ratings continuing to climb.

Re: All things COVID-19
Yup. Rural America could be a ticking time bomb. Too little testing. You don't know somebody has it untill they show up at the hospital. They are starting to rollout more testing to places other than NYC, but not to rural areas.RedFromMI wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 2:57 pmYou do realize that testing is inadequate in many parts of the country?

Generally I know this, maybe the east coast little less so FE Jacksonville/Amelia vs Tallahassee/panhandle. Been in some small towns like Perry FL to see banks. It’s got its redneck quotient, but I doesnt have any of that “there’s a proper was to have a southern accent and then there’s a trailer park way to have an accent” old money southern culture which is why I think it’s distinguished.RedFromMI wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 2:55 pmFlorida is an inverted state - the farther north you wander the more Southern it gets (this is not original to me, btw).
