The Dotard seriously refuses to learn. Locking down just NY and two surrounding States won't solve anything. The virus is everywhere. He needs to listen to Fauci and not open rest the country up by April. That's going to create many new NYCs.

He can only do so much, because Trump fucked up the federal response so bad, all of the lockdowns are put in place by state or city authorites, Trump can't force them to open back up.

Just because I'm trying to look for any kind of "light at the end of the tunnel" on all of this, what is reasonably the best, most likely scenario for the next several months? Like, if a vaccine is still 1.5 years away, what can really happen? I don't see how we can sustainably stay locked down for the next year and a half, but if we don't, we can't control the virus, right? I definitely think trying to reopen stuff in early April is too soon, but even if we stay locked down through, like, May, will that really do anything? Even if we can flatten the curve in the next few months, won't it just start spreading again when we come out of lock down?

Vaccine is 1.5 years away but perhaps other treatments that make the virus go from "deadly" to "major inconvenience for a week or two" could pop up before then.

South Korea hasn't had these sorts of shutdowns, because they've been testing a ton. If you can identify and isolate people carrying the virus, you can be a bit more relaxed with the general population. The way back to normalcy is with mass testing.

Complete shutdown for 2-4 weeks.
Severe punishment for all who violate it.
Keeping all borders closed until covid disappears from earth.
Make going to work with a flu a crime and support the ill.

That's pretty much the only way to stop it at this point. Not realistic, but it's Trump's fault this became necessary.

And in America people who have been confirmed infected by covid refuse to stay locked down?
It's also the people. Try something like China did and people here would go crazy. Try something like what India is doing by beating those outside and you're gonna have a bunch of citizens and cops dead.

Some probably have opposite reaction. Time to get out. It too late US can do it try to focus on NY and close them off but Detroit, Chicago and New Orleans are emerging as their own hotspots.

Updated NY numbers
52,318 coronavirus cases
728 deaths
7,328 are hospitalized
1,755 in intensive care.

If trump was actually considering that, why announce it and give time for everyone to leave? I mean its too late at this point anyway, the virus is everywhere. Theres no point in containing it in one area of America because its literally all over. This country handled this so god damn poorly, we have to be the laughing stock of the rest of the world right now.

Is there a reason the deaths vs recoveries are that high other than the virus just being that deadly?

AFAIK recovery takes like 2-6 weeks depending on how bad your case is. (though I hear some fight it off in like 4 days and may face more severe symptoms later? China uses flu pills to halve symptom duration and reduce lung damage)

Dying can happen anytime? Like, your covid case may get discovered coz you died, but you also may not die until 1-2 weeks later when symptoms become serious.

long story short, it takes much longer to completely fight off your illness until you have 0 traces of covid in body.

Reason recoveries probably aren't as high because they probably are only testing a lot of those that have symptoms missing asymptomatic recovers, and those who aren't sick enough to be hospitalized probably have to self-report recovery which may not be happening.

That's pretty much the reason I though it was too. Maybe there are a ton of people getting over it quickly and weren't diagnosed with it as well?

Fun fact. Spain's royal family is of House Bourbon. That's the same family that ruled France up to the French Revolution.
