Mindmeld, then explain why CA didn't see the infection numbers that NY did, even though CA was one of the first states to see the coronavirus. Explain why Korea, with a higher population density than New York, saw lower numbers overall despite being one of the early epicenters of the pandemic. Even India, with its incredibly overcrowded slums and high poverty rates, isn't seeing nearly the high rates of infection that America saw, despite being closer to China. India's lockdown, by the way, started on March 24, and recently got extended to May 3: PM Narendra Modi says India will extend coronavirus lockdown until 3 May I was talking a lot about this with my Indian coworkers in Bangalore. They locked down early relative to their curve, and because of that, their curve didn't slope up as sharply as I expected. No matter what, this is an incredibly complicated problem, and blanket statements like "lockdowns don't work" are not going to help, especially when potentially hundreds of thousands of lives are at stake. Better to err on the side of caution until we can get a handle on things. Tenchusatsu

So the rational part of me says, this was a rocket that we would have never caught, even if Cuomo had acted a month earlier. The virus was going to spread fast, regardless. It's a conundrum. it should be obvious that the only way for two main epicenters (northern Italy and the NYC area) of infection to have avoided the runaway pandemic was if foreign travel was banned from Wuhan province weeks before even China stopped domestic flights OUT of Wuhan. Is it not telling to YOU that they banned domestic flights out of Wuhan on Jan 22 but DID NOT ban foreign flights out of Wuhan???..............in all probability, Trump would have had to put on the travel ban by early Jan. at the latest to make a significant difference.......this thing is ON CHINA.......make no mistake...............I did not realize the tremendous Milan / China nexus before ........but it all makes sense now.
