    I keep saying that we need to STOP looking at the COVID data in the US as a whole and here is why. These are the COVID cases of 2 regions. The west coast is orange, the NYC area (NY, NJ, CT) is blue. 2 weeks ago, the west coast had twice as many cases as NYCpic.twitter.com/Mc6QZ9aEsw

        If we continue to insist on looking at COVID cases in the US as a whole, we WILL NOT understand what is going on and we will make the wrong decisions.

        This is why I find it weird that Cuomo is receiving all the praise, while we hear little about the West. Feels like a bad media narrative that, as usual, conflicts with reality.

        Oh FFS. Everybody who doesn't live in a dense area thinks they're safe. As if people don't gather in, say, South Dakota. Which, when the virus peaks in a few weeks, will lose at least 10,000 people. It isn't density that's killing people. It's lack of leadership and preparation.

        It's as silly as grouping Italy and Norway together. NYC and Seattle are twice as far apart from eachother as Rome and Oslo!

        The west coast also don't live on top of one another, with the exception of democrat sanctuary cities. Here in Seattle-ish especially, and we don't have a great mass transportation program so much less x-contam.

        That is absolutely the statistic that gets lost when looking at total infections. And it can't to make real sense. Up the testing rates in CA and you probably have a similar curve aNY.
