I tried to find the original of Cuomo's quote, but I couldn't find it, although I didn't invest very much time. Anyone have a source for his figures?

Steve G's post as a few days old now, and if these figures are correct, I'd have thought that the Trumpeters would  be shouting it from the rooftops by now.



Maybe this.

Cheers, that's helpful, except I still can't find out about those 17% infected going to work.

I take it that easing the restrictions in the US means that the members of Congress won't be working from home any more?

Basically, it was me telling to coronavirus and all his friends of my opinion on their activities.

If a known germophobe like Trump goes around in public promotional gatherings without wearing a face mask, the question I ask myself is: why is he so sure he's immune?

If you discard the considerations that he's too vain or too unintelligent (both of which would be overruled by a true phobia), what does that leave? A hero he ain't. Is he immune, and if so, what could be the cause?

It's that stuff he takes that turns him orange. Injecting sunlight into his body maybe? Apparently that keeps the Covid out...

Yesterday, in the fair month of June, the WHO stated that wearing masks in public was a good thing after all. There is something seriously wrong with the WHO.

They are like every other bureaucratic and central authority in the world, in that they are making it up as they go along, but rather than admitting this every pronouncement is treated as if it carries with it The Wisdom of Solomon.

Why are you paying attention to the WHO? Wear a mask if you want, follow your local guidelines and wear one if you have to enter a building.
What do they mean by "a good thing"? Massively subjective from an organization that is about your health. Not all organizations need to exist, this is one that is about money clearly along with favoritism.

If the WHO was in Russia's pocket instead of China's, Trump would love them.

I saw this graphic the other day.  I don't know how accurate it is but it basically explains that wearing a mask is more likely to prevent you from giving the virus to someone else then it is to prevent you from catching the virus.

Cases are way up here in the US... People are obviously not taking any precautions or being smart about it. I predict a disaster in those areas...

Yep.  In Michigan, we had gotten below 100 new cases a day but now that things are opening up it is starting to creep up again.  Today was over 300 new cases.
