@Winger classic case of looking at the numbers and making an incorrect deduction. Higher numbers of Dems in urbanized states I would assume for starters. I laugh at anyone who could think that a virus has a political bias
I still find it interesting
Total deaths 70144 verse 9107 with about the same population numbers. The reasons for this large diff needs to be looked into at some point
Versus
(although I understand "versing" is acceptable ... I know this upsets @Snowy #don'tannoythecerealkiller)
Actually cereal is pretty safe around me. Bacon, not so much.
Their may be even more logic to democrats getting hit harder by the virus than population numbers. Poverty, health care, etc. Not hard to work out if you think for yourself.

I looked into it - turns out the virus does a lot better in big cities than it does elsewhere. Something about people being stacked on top of one another really helps the spread.
And wouldn't you know it, the vast majority of America's big cities vote Democrat.
anyone who shares something from social media with the preface "interesting if true" is a fucking retard and should be ignored.
A childish post that adds nothing that hopefully is removed. As is this reply

It will be interesting in the aftermath to delve into the statistics and various policy responses to gain an understanding of why some places were hardly affected and others utterly smashed.
And by that I mean beyond "these people aren't land whales and practise hygiene". Unless that becomes the real defining solution.

Land whales is going to be up there

The dicotomy between NYC and LA/San Fran is stark. My Californian mates tell me that the politicos there weren't any great shakes. One key factor is likely to be that NYC has well over a million a day commuting on subway or trains, whereas California very car based.

@pakman and yet California has been subject to one of the longest and most severe lockdowns yeah?
You've got me on that. I do think they started early, but haven't really heard anything in last few weeks.

I think they're still going, but can't be sure. A mate as of a week ago, who runs a wine tasting tour business to Sonoma Valley, was still unable to operate . May have changed in the last week though

@voodoo mate at Huntington beach was off out to the pub on a bike in the weekend so must be relaxing.
Checked in with my mate overnight, this was the response:
"No - we just got another 2 weeks slapped on in our county (Sonoma) for a slight rise in cases. Wineries are now open for “outdoor dining only” since last week. But the issue is - the “Shelter In Place (SIP)” is still in place for all of California so technically you aren’t supposed to leave your house unless it’s essential. Which is completely fucked and confusing for businesses. We can open but aren’t allowed visitors to the wine country...
On a funny note - the County Sherrif in Sonoma just announced that they’re not going to fine or cite anyone anymore for breaking SIP rules - so even the law enforcement are over it. True story but kinda shocking as to how much of a mess it is here."

Big thread, but nub is that past coronavirus (e.g. cold) exposure is likely to leave immulogical changes. There seems some evidence that these can attack structures which Covid shares and shut it down. Would mean herd immunity is reached at much less than 60% infection level generally assumed. And would explain why in many places infectivity seems to have plummetted independently of lockdown.

The States Covid numbers are going to be interesting in a few weeks time. The whole pandemic has become and afterthought for a lot of countries all of a sudden. We're going to find out just how serious it is and whether lockdowns were needed at all.
