Andrew Cuomo is now trying to blame President Trump for putting COVID-19 positive patients back into New York State Nursing Homes (NH).

This document has been removed from the New York DOH webpage.
Seems like we should maintain a copy to refresh our memory of what the policy was and under who’s authority (Andrew Cuomo) the policy was mandated.

Pay particular attention to the underlined section.

Victoria Australia Phase 2

Phase 2 planning in Victoria, Australia, looks like:

Victorian Premier Dan Andrews has just announced relaxed restrictions from June 1, with the advice no longer being “stay at home”.

Overall, the state is on track to ease lockdowns as planned, with Step Two beginning next Tuesday May 26, according to Mr Andrews.

Monday, May 25
- a pupil-free day

Tuesday May 26
- classes will resume for Prep, Grade 1, Grade 2, Year 11 and Year 12.
- Public playgrounds, outdoor gyms and skateparks can open as long as there’s no more than 10 people gathered.

From June 1:

- Gatherings of up to 20 people will be allowed in the home, including the members of the household
- Overnight stays – including hotels, motels and other accommodation — will be permitted across the state
- Swimming pools will reopen
- Funerals allowed up to 50 people
- Libraries, youth centres and other community facilities will be able to open
- Entertainment and cultural venues like galleries, museums, drive-in cinemas and historic sites will be able to open their doors, alongside zoos and outdoor amusement parks

On June 9
- Grades 3 through to 10 will rejoin their school mates. All VIC government schools will have returned to class by June 9.

From June 22:

- Alpine resorts, described by Mr Andrews as "a billion dollar industry", will reopen to skiers
- Gyms will reopen for 20 people
- 50 people allowed in cafes, restaurants and bars.

Premier Dan Andrews has not given workers the green light to return to work yet – saying the risk is still too high.

"Working from home is very, very important. In fact, it is critical," Mr Andrews said.

"If we have literally hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people returning to office blocks, pressing lift buttons, sharing the kitchen, using common spaces, bathrooms and other spaces like that, then we will simply have this virus get away from us. It is the greatest risk to a second wave.

"It contributes the greatest, we think, to the potential of a second wave and all that we are trying to avoid, the notion of having to reimpose some of these rules."

Mr Andrews said the government would continue to assess the working from home arrangement but it would likely stay in place until the end of June.

"I know it is inconvenient working from home and I apologise for the inconvenience but if you have been working from home you must keep working from home throughout June," he said.

"We will work through particularly the issue of working from home with those large, not just CBD employers but there will be employers, large office space employment right across the city and state.

"It is inconvenient but it is a must. If we have everybody returning to business as usual in those indoor workplaces then we will just see this virus spread and all of our good work will be frittered away."

********
There are some grumblings about dictatorships.

The Premiers of Qld and NSW have reverted back to sniping away at each other. A sport that we all love.
Particularly for us 'mexicans' down in the southern state of Victoria.

Meanwhile, Western Australia out there in the west, is locked down, border as well.
Be awhile before the Premier there will let go of the power being almost like the Prime Minister.

LMAO! How much do you think it chapped her ass to have to admit that maybe The Bad Orange Man’s ideas on this drug may have been correct all along here?

Should we start calling the Wu-flu "shai hulud" instead???

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) nows estimates that 35 percent of coronavirus infections are asymptomatic.

here’s what the CDC is saying about the fatality rate the coronavirus:

0-49 years old: .05%
50-64 years old: .2%
65+ years old: 1.3%

Overall ages: .4%


the case fatality rate of the coronavirus is .4 percent. And that’s just amongst symptomatic cases, which, the CDC estimates, is 65 percent of all cases. This means the CDC estimates that the fatality rate for all infections across all age groups, symptomatic as well as asymptomatic, is approximately .26 percent.

Every state in the country should be wide open for business as of now. Any more excuses to the contrary are complete and total BS.

When you've been to Arrakis, no pandemic will scare you anyway.

Here is my question...

If a person tests positive but is asymptomatic, are they contagious and for how long are they contagious?

Whoever wrote that article doesn't know how to crunch numbers. It's funny because the Justin Hart video and his Excel sheet shows he doesn't know how to do math.

He basically took 65% of 0.4% and came up with 0.26% as the fatality rate for all cases, symptomatic and asymptomatic. That assumes the fatality rate for asymptomatic cases is 0%. Is it?

Asymptomatic - Persons who carry a disease and are usually capable of transmitting the disease but, who do not exhibit symptoms of the disease

I would assume if you don't have symptoms, it would be hard for a disease to kill you....?

On a related note, what is the rate of LONG TERM complications from COVID? I am aware that these folks who survive after intubation do not have a return to normal.

Hmmm, maybe that would mean a new business called "barfax", similar to "Carfax", where a person could get a report detailing the history of previously-owned panties - how many owners, how and what kind of miles, reported accidents, service records, etc..
