    I should have pointed that out. Those 0% is due to those States (AL, AS, DC, IL, IN, KY, MI, MO, MP, MO, NE, NJ, NV, PR, VI) NOT reporting hospitalization. So ignore them and only use data from States that do report hospitalization (> 0%).

    WTF it's looking like NY state on it's own will overtake any other country by the end of the week.

    Funny video FYI about what is now no longer a public safety issue like delivering booze to your house and telemedicine for vets which was illegal for some reason?

    I saw the news trickling out of China and Italy and knew things would be bad here eventually. Or at least felt like things could get bad here. But it's shocking watching it happen in our own backyards and in real time.

    That's a scary thought.

    Another one is that people all across the country, particularly those in rural areas, will hear how bad it is in New York and pay the virus little to no attention, thinking that they don't need to take action or that it won't affect others in their area. Right up until it's too late.

    this is what we’re dealing with...stupid citizens, and stupid leadership

    at grocery stores, people only do social distancing in the lines outside of the store and at checkout, and that’s only because places like HEB have put markers on the floor telling people where they need to stand in order to be at least 6 ft apart

    people are all bunched up together while shopping with aisles being packed

    stories of fools at the park gathered in large crowds have already been posted on here

    this is crazy

    We've established communication, and one Virus was interviewed by Amy Adams and it said they are scared they will run out of people to infect by July.

    He stays in the most heavily democratic part of the country.

    It would be racist of a civilized person to say they're probably from black people who don't work, you know the people still ignoring quarantine and social distancing orders, but apparently you think your hate speech comment is fine.

    https://nypost.com/2020/03/30/crowds-ignore-social-distancing-rules-to-watch-usns-comfort/

    Crowds of gawkers ignored New York’s social-distance regulations and packed the west side of Manhattan on Monday to watch a US Navy hospital ship arrive to give badly needed coronavirus aid.

    The throngs of people stood shoulder to shoulder and took photos of the USNS Comfort as it pulled into Pier 90 near West 50th Street at about 10:40 a.m., photos of the scene show.

    Some waved American flags and others huddled against one another at the fence of the pier. Meanwhile, joggers out for a morning run brushed past the onlookers.

    At least a dozen NYPD cops stood by and initially did not disperse the bone-headed bystanders as they gathered and snapped cellphone photos of the ship pulling into the pier.

    After members of the City Hall press corps tweeted about the throngs of people, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s communications team directed the NYPD to get the crowds to disperse.

    “The pictures made me realize it was happening and I reported it to detail who got involved,” City Hall spokesperson Freddi Goldstein said.

    “This is a new reality for all of us and we’re all adjusting. The mayor and the police commissioner are in regular contact to make sure our officers understand this new ask of them, as well,” she added.

    The NYPD warned the crowds about violating social distancing, but did not issue any tickets, a high-ranking police source said.

    people still refuse to take this thing seriously...NY is the hardest hit city, and yet we still got morons doing dumb sh*t like this

    I wonder how many people ended up getting the virus after this stunt? A warning from the NYPD isn’t enough. All those idiots should’ve been hit with fines at the very least.

    You just made a racist comment and are now accusing me of racism to take away from your racism and lack of intelligence.

    Why the liberal media caused Trump to be elected in 2016.

    Keep creating more problems because of the real issues you're afraid to address. Better yet, imagine them to be real and they will be.
