Most likely, the East Coast or California will come up with the vaccine because they have the most brains and money!

NYC is projecting per Cuomo 16k dead. At time when same experts say nation 100-240k ead.

So NYC, under 3% US population, per Cuomo expects 7-16% of Us dead via covid. That means, per his estimates NYC will have per capita losses of between 200-500% US average.

We need to stop the baloney that this will affect the nation equally.

It will affect cattle car density cities disproportionately.

That may change US patterns of living for decades to come.

I don't know if anything can save them. The infected on the east coast may decide to flee west and bring the worst of Corona with them.

Big cities are going to be hit hard. This virus is in all states and it's only just beginning in some of these states.

I want to know why the feds won't let coronavirus patients in the Javits Convention Center or the USS Comfort. There's less than five on the ship and less than ten in the Javitz. WHY? New York is under siege. This is incredibly stupid.

Why won't the federal government let coronavirus patients into the Javits and the USS Comfort? This is not happening in California and they have far fewer patients.

Well said Natalie! North Carolina now has as many cases as New Jersey had last week. I'd expect the number of cases in Florida to explode next week due to their dimwit governor and the high proportion of elderly residents.

Heartbreaking. NYC is densely populated and is a hub for international travel. It was bound to happen.

I'm not fixing blame, just making an observation that it seemed inevitable New York and other eastern states would get hit the hardest because of circumstances beyond their control. It a matter of good or bad fortune where an American landed when this hit. The west may become a safe harbor as the east comes unhinged.

The ship being used for other patients so that the hospitals can concentrate on the infected patients. It makes sense because the ships seem to have closer quarters that allow for easier spread. Look at what is happening on other Navy ships.

It’s probably California, we have Gilead.
