During a coronavirus press briefing on Friday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that private gatherings account for the vast majority of new statewide cases, while less than 2 percent are coming from bars and restaurants.
Just another reason why organized religion is bad.
if only we stopped every activity that's about 1% of its per capita rate, and continued to ignore the fact that 60%+ of NC hospitalizations (and surely much higher than that in the ICU) are folks 65+, and 40% of all deaths nationwide are those in nursing homes - my goodness, how much better we'd be doing!
"A third person has died as the result of a COVID-19 outbreak linked to a weeklong church event, North Carolina health officials said Thursday. Mecklenburg County health officials report 82 cases had developed as the result of the events at the United House of Prayer for All People in Charlotte from Oct. 4-11, The Charlotte Observer reported. That compares with 68 cases cited on Wednesday. Mecklenburg Deputy Health Director Raynard Washington said in a statement that at least five people have been hospitalized in connection with the outbreak."
"Three churches in Caldwell County have reported clusters of COVID-19 cases stemming from church gatherings.T he three clusters account for 39 cases of the coronavirus, but there could be more cases associated with the clusters if people who contracted the virus from the churches live in other counties, Caldwell County Public Information Officer Paige Counts said."
"On Monday, Dec. 14, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Public Health and Human Services (PHHS) and Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority identified a COVID-19 cluster at the Old Antioch Missionary Baptist Church located at 2868 Wrights Creek Road in Cherokee. Six COVID-19 cases, within the last 10 days have been confirmed within the church."
Ah ok. That's actually lower than I expected. I can't remember where it is buried in the DHHS site, but religious gatherings had the highest case counts outside of meat packing plants or something like that.
