Yes, I also noticed that the number of cases (which I think is a totally inaccurate measure but whatever) is much lower in Manhattan than Queens and Brooklyn. \
Cuomo was scheduled to come on at 11:30 but because of Deblasio's attention grab it's been pushed to 12:30. This "talk" was all about Deblasio wanting to steal Cuomo's thunder. Juvenile.
For better or worse, that means I can watch it now (Cuomo). I don't care much for what DeBlasio says.
Well, pretty likely it would have been without having taken drastic measures. I can definitely see idiots coming back out saying “I told you it was just a flu” while ignoring the effects of the large steps that were taken to keep the death count lower. I can also imagine religious nuts claiming credit for the save. It’s all going to be a big dumb circus.
ABC NEWS April 8, 2020 Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November: Sources
As far back as late November, U.S. intelligence officials were warning that a contagion was sweeping through China’s Wuhan region, changing the patterns of life and business and posing a threat to the population, according to four sources briefed on the secret reporting.
Concerns about what is now known to be the novel coronavirus pandemic were detailed in a November intelligence report by the military's National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI), according to two officials familiar with the document’s contents.
The report was the result of analysis of wire and computer intercepts, coupled with satellite images. It raised alarms because an out-of-control disease would pose a serious threat to U.S. forces in Asia -- forces that depend on the NCMI’s work. And it paints a picture of an American government that could have ramped up mitigation and containment efforts far earlier to prepare for a crisis poised to come home.
"Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event," one of the sources said of the NCMI’s report. "It was then briefed multiple times to" the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff and the White House.
From that warning in November, the sources described repeated briefings through December for policy-makers and decision-makers across the federal government as well as the National Security Council at the White House. All of that culminated with a detailed explanation of the problem that appeared in the President’s Daily Brief of intelligence matters in early January, the sources said. For something to have appeared in the PDB, it would have had to go through weeks of vetting and analysis, according to people who have worked on presidential briefings in both Republican and Democratic administrations.
"The timeline of the intel side of this may be further back than we’re discussing," the source said of preliminary reports from Wuhan. "But this was definitely being briefed beginning at the end of November as something the military needed to take a posture on."
Most of what you wrote is gibberish, but I will address one point you made that "You only care for others to stay inside and keep their distance so that you and your family dont contract Corona virus. "
Actually one of the most important reasons people are staying inside and being told to stay inside is so that they don't infect others. So staying inside is not an act of selfishness, it's an act of selflessness (considering not only oneself but the community at large) as well.
Staying inside is neither the act of selfishness nor selflessness.
The act of selfishness is telling others to stay inside so that YOU dont in someway get infected. You dont want others infected because it increases the chance that youll get infected.

Why Manhattan Has Seen Relatively Few Coronavirus Cases
So, the relatively highest incidence of anything in NYC automatically has to be caused by poverty if it is noted in the Bronx and Queens (even if Queens overall is not particularly poor), while the relatively highest incidence of the SAME thing in Manhattan automatically has to be caused by privilege if it is noted in the UES and UWS (in this case caused by the "privilege" of being tested)? The usual "woke" practice of assigning "obvious" causation any way one wants to assign it, to phenomena for which we do not know the real reason (or the reason may be simply randomness).
Governor said could be similar numbers next few days
Let's say 4 days of 779, thats about 3,000
add to total about 8,500
Who knows if the peak will actually soon come but anyway if the death rate starts diminishing it could be slow.
Add to this reports that some deaths at home are not being recorded because the people were never tested
I'm guessing, if we really are getting near to the peak, 11-20,000 deaths in NYS
death toll 9/11, World Trade center and surrounding area 2,606
(not including later cancers and other later health issues deaths)
