I read something interesting last night but considering the source I don't know what to make of it. It was from Cuomo, the idiot governor of New York who created the biggest mess in this nation through a combination of inaction and actively pushing for normalcy at the beginning of this entire thing.
He said that over 60% of NEW hospitalizations are coming from people who have been claiming to be self isolating. This makes no sense at all considering what we have been told. These are people who should not be contracting the virus. Granted, it's Cuomo and I have seen no other reports indicating this from anyone but am throwing it out there to see if is has happened anywhere. So either these people are lying, Cuomo is confused, or something really weird is going on like a possible incubation period a lot longer than anyone thought.
New case numbers are dropping both nationally and locally at a steady rate despite the reopenings happening across the nation.
Pennsylvania has finally released some numbers but it had to come from our legislature, not the governor. 67.9% of all deaths are from nursing homes. The average age is 79. Of all deaths statewide, not just in the nursing homes 11.9% had four comorbidities, 22.7% had three comorbidities, 27.2 had two comorbidities and 22.6 had one comorbidity. 11% had no comorbidity. The numbers don't add up to 100% but these numbers were what was reported to the legislature by the Governor's office. He has finally told them, but not us. They told us. Aggravating.
So in summary, it is what was suspected all along. Covid is not causing the vast majority of these deaths. It is aggravating underlying causes and the combination of the two or more conditions is what is causing the deaths.
