> NYC just got under 500 COVID deaths a day.
Important to remember what led up to that. High risk people were going about their daily activities, no one was social distancing. It’s disingenuous to imply that anyone who is anti-lockdown is talking about a complete return to pre-pandemic behavior that caused the numbers we are seeing in NYC.

- austhrow743 6y agoNYC is also a giant, dense city where public transport is incredibly popular. When you see photos of the people protesting lockdowns, it's clear that they're not city metro living yuppies. They're suburbanites and rural. Any argument that cites NYC results for restrictions on non-NYC behaviour is ignorant at best and most likely disingenuous imo.
- camgunz 6y agoYeah I'm not denying there are people who are genuinely protesting the shelter orders. But what's actually happening is a concerted, right wing political campaign [1]. > Any argument that cites NYC results for restrictions on non-NYC behaviour is ignorant at best and most likely disingenuous imo. There are outbreaks in several other cities and the recommendation is the same: either get a robust testing system in place, or shelter. Those are your options right now.
