NYC is inflating Covid deaths. Calling all old that die at home or in nursing homes as Covid.

[QUOTE=GoodLife;1749108]Good way to judge how each Governor has handled the covid 19 outbreak
If your statement is true we could use the same methodology to judge the all the presidents, prime ministers around the world. Shall I post those statistics. |

Most of the issues in New York state are in New York City. Population density is probably an issue and NYC has a high population density - it is a "vertical" city. They also may have been "seeded" with people from other areas. I don't believe you can judge the Governors because of the differences in the states.

When you start to count nursing homes infections/deaths and people that never went to the hospital or died at home and actually test everyone or at least more than have been tested at this
point, you will not have an accurate count. |

Actually if you are interested in accurate stats, you need to evaluate the deaths per number found with positive tests. Sumter county currently has the highest death rate per positive tests in the state of FL. Your comparison makes no sense because you have no way to measure how many people in that 100,000 actually test positive and that is the only scientific measurement that has any meaning. With your comparison, only 3 in FL per 100,000 have been tested so a death rate of 3 equals a 100% death rate.
Until this incompetent government ramps up testing, there is no way to fix the problem. There are already 2 assisted living facilities in The Villages that have the virus according to the governor's information. |

We are leading the world with cases because we have 330 million people. Only India and China have more people, and China is lying. On a proportional basis, several countries in Europe are worse.

A great example of the misuse of statistics by someone pushing some political agenda. These statistics have very little to do with the actions of the Governors’ action or lack of it. There are far too many confounding variables, as others have mentioned, to use these numbers as a “scorecard” for governors.

Try factoring in population. All on your list are worse than the U.S. except the U.K. which is doing somewhat better than the U.S. |

This is not a time synchronized pandemic. Inconvenient I know but New York is past the peak of first wave. Few other states are anywhere near the peak so comparison is unfair. Plus, later states had the benefit of NY’s experience and were able to get ahead of the curve. None of that means it’s over. Not over til we have working therapies and/or a vaccine.

How many people that partied in Florida went back to home states and became a number??? Remember, the beaches were packed with folks after some states went into lock down.

"State" is an artifical category in many respects. For example, New York City is dramatically different than the rest of New York State in many ways. One critical characteristic is population density. Having said that, the geographic boundries of New York City are also questionable. Northern New Jersey (NJ is by far the most densely populated "state") and southern Connecticut are essentially more like NYC that update NY. The Metropolitian Statistical Areas (MSAs) might actually be a more meaningful way to compare areas - especially with respect to population density.
