Over half the confirmed cases are in NY and NJ - mostly in the metro NYC area

Isn't that about the distribution of tests more than anything?

I’ve checked out some of the reasons the dems are holding this up. And all I can say is wow. Carbon taxes and airline taxes? Seriously?

That's not the reason it's being held up. Every side has throw away negotiating points. They'll reach a deal. They have to.

Could be, but also close to half the deaths (I think NYS deaths are over 200)

I use deaths are the only accurate measure as well.

Big time yikes

That was incredible. I'm not sure what's more frightening, the corona virus or the thought of Joe Biden as POTUS.

Not in this thread...

Don't think the purpose of the thread is to solve world problems.

Exchange information (there's been many good articles shared), extend good will, comment on ongoing info/news, criticize, give each other a hard time, make fun, laugh, share conspiracy theories, and everything else that comes in an online forum full of geniuses.

They have more and better testing. It's already everywhere we just haven't heard about it yet.

This should not be holding up a bill

This is what is holding up the bill:

As I said nearly half the deaths are in those 2 states. It is not just testing. NYS death numbers are likely close to 225 now, NJ has 27

Not a Biden fan, but your liberal use of the word incredible is incredible.

We just need to get uncle Joe on some amphetamines to level the playing field.

34 in Louisiana, 25 in Georgia, small states yet in top 6 in deaths.

This thing is exploding by the minute. Florida will explode with cases and deaths because of the elderly population.

I find nice that a Jets fan is here with us Why do you like it ?

Just curious...thanks

Fantasy football info brought me here.

The political forum greatness got me familiar with a lot of good guys.

The "Jets Suck" thread is hilarious.

This forum is simply awesome (great job @Ian n mods).

And overall the NE area is pretty damn smart n funny.

It's cool to discuss (sometimes talk smack) with folks who you don't always see eye-to-eye with. Just always staying in your own bubble seems boring.

^ Yeah, all that stuff PLUS Jetefan is a well known masochist.
(with Tune on hiatus and Joker busy hittin' the jug it fell to me to point that out)

Boris calling for police to enforce compliance with people staying at home. His experiment failed, now doing the right thing.

The mayor of Denver just called for a shelter in place. If someone can explain what that exactly means I would appreciate it. Thanks

Yeah, I sometimes wonder about that. But I'm a generous fellow.
