As the United States continues to see increases in coronavirus cases, New York, the one-time epicenter of the pandemic, appears to have battled back the virus and kept it at bay since the spring.

across New York, city and state leaders increased their strict health mandates, ordering that all New Yorkers wear a face covering outdoors in April and maintain social distancing while businesses remained shuttered.

A designated area for patients suspected of having the novel coronavirus at Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York, March 23, 2020."I really do believe that the focus on the balance was communicating with the public about reducing the spread. You go to supermarkets and everyone was wearing masks," she told ABC News."There was continuous reinforcement of the orders in our communities.

"If there was any suggestion [within counties] that any of those numbers in jeopardy, the phasing would be backed off," she said.In this June 22, 2020, file photo, people enter a retail store in Brooklyn, New York.Central New York state towns were the first to go to phase 1, which included strict limits on indoor activities and crowd sizes, on May 15.

People sit at tables at Grand Central Market in downtown Los Angeles, on June 24, 2020, amid a record rise in coronavirus cases across the state.Several locations in California, including San Francisco, were one of the first places in the U.S. to issue shelter-in-place orders in March. In the middle of the month, a statewide shelter in place order went into effect. The average number of new daily never went above 2,000 during the lockdown months, according to California's health department.

Braithwaite said New York's plan has been more successful than other states because it still puts strict limits on businesses. Braithwaite said the governor's quarantine order is wise since the data from the rest of the country is showing significant jumps.

What Cuomo already KILLED THE LOW HANGING FRUIT!

Beware it’s coming back

Ummm...check the numbers. I think NYS is still in the lead with deaths. Including nursing home deaths.

Dump Brain Dead - Cuomo 2020

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t NY lead the country in deaths from Covid?

I was telling someone today. NY, NJ and CT went through hell and came out in the other side in good shape. They are following the gating rules and masks. Their curve looks like Italy. NYGovCuomo PhilMurphyNJ

That’s bc everyone that could have died from it, died already.

New York already killed most of the vulnerable population by forcing nursing homes to asmit covid positive patients. NewYorkFlu

it hasn't, their just cooking the numbers and we all know it.

any count of New Yorkers went to other states like Florida?

Intelligence, communication and cooperation!

They are blessed with a leader.🤗

New Yorkers have a governor who is on top of the virus. He informed his citizens of what needed to be done. The New Yorkers follow through with masks, distance and handwashing. Comey, unlike Trump, led his state through COVID-19.

New York has more deaths than my state has cases, but you do you.

And you tweeted this with a straight face. Wow. coronavirus

Easy. NYGovCuomo let the virus kill all the elderly in nursing homes. Also let it blow through the state, infecting everyone it could. The virus seems to have a natural plateau.

Cuomo already killed most susceptible

Don't be fooled this is totally false.

Maybe because everyone left NYC!

Meanwhile in Missouri In 24 hours + 1187 cases In 48 hours + 2107 cases 7/15 30817 cases 1136 dead 7/16 31737 cases 1141 dead 7/17 32924 cases 1147 dead MO Gov Mike Parson, epic failure

they opened slowly and pulled back as well.

Meanwhile

Their high risk population already died in the first wave.

WUT?

by murdering them in nursing homes and blaming Trump?

KATVMarine Most cases. Most deaths. Most people with antibodies. That's how

Although they criticized NYGovCuomo and had no choice to adhere was the best decision made. Cheers to NY

Welcome to the powerful service of the Lord where the Lord is defining people who won't enter heaven

32,000+ deaths is not a success story. This is not a good take 😬

they had the spike first and cases are now going down from temporary immunity , nice spin on it tho fake news

It was easy, they immediately killed off the most vulnerable by locking known infected people in with them. They got a super high initial death count followed by a slow steady one, because the infection spread was artificial and done for effect.

Preemptively killing off the most vulnerable population probably helped.

By having a HS Diploma, minimum

Do the real story about all the things they did wrong?

'You see, killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down.' - Captain Zapp Brannigan

Keep bragging about who and who does not have control. Media has been wrong on almost everything affecting America, but just keep giving 'opinions' instead of facts. This virus is not done with NY.

How are you showing the state that had the most cases the most deaths by far as the leading example. They did everything wrong put seniors in nursing homes, limited use of HCQ, had DNR orders for EMT, shrunk subway and bus routes and hospitals policy straight to vent,

Because everyone is dead already

2nd in covid death rate. They're doing famtastic!

It’s called science.

Delete your account You are way too obvious Even 8th graders know you are lying now

So NYC is exempt from flattern the curve ?

Now do per capita death rates

Now do deaths🙄

Is this a joke? New York’s curve is the bad curve from every “flatten the curve” diagram: overwhelmed health care capacity, needless deaths, etc. NY’s death toll is a worldwide outlier and atrocity; FL/TX/AZ/CA look like statistical noise in comparison. SHAME ON YOU, ABC!

Your success level with Covid is like golf, you want the lowest death count not the highest.

Testing outside hospitals was nonexistent in NYC at the peak. The real peak for NYC was probably 150k cases a day. Infection was so rampant that combined with masks it's hard for the virus to catch hold there again. Read The Atlantic article about rethinking Herd Immunity.

They still have double the amount of deaths as the next closest state.

Because most NYers aren’t scared of masks, and understand if we want to get things back to some normalcy we are all in it together.

After killing more Americans than any other state...

Let's talk deaths and not cases from healthy 25 year olds. How those nursing homes looking?

Yeah, they sent it to Houston and Phoenix instead. Lol

Well, to most, there’s a 99.7% chance of survival, so if you kill off 30,000 folks real quick, the rest will mainly survive. That being said, one heck of a job NY.

WE the Proletariat thank you for your public service to set the record straight. However, your time line of the NYS Virus Follies missed a few key things-Nursing Home debacle-not rescinded until 5/10 & BdB 'go to a movie' post

slaughtering the elderly right off the bat, letting New Yorkers flee to spread the New York virus around the country and then having the virus infect in so many people in NY it had nowhere else to go was wise?

Cuomo talking up New York response:

Where is: Cuomo orders covid positive patients into nursing homes?

Only took 32,000 lives to do it.

Now do deaths.

Kept it at bay by killing a bunch of old people in nursing homes. Sure does call for a well done attaboy.

Cuomo forced nursing homes to take COVID patients and 6,300 nursing home patients died. NYC has almost as many deaths as the next two highest states combined. This narrative to make Cuomo look good is sickening.

NY/NJ own 40% of US COVID deaths but make up 6% of the US population. Don’t let that stand in the way of your flex though.

Come back to us when anywhere else in the Country comes even remotely close to the number of deaths

So, all the elderly vulnerable people are now dead due to NYGovCuomo infecting nursing homes. Got it.

*After killing more people than any other state by a large margin

Don't you mean 'Congrats, NYC, on showing us what NOT to do!'

NY is what not to do, you gas-lighting grifters.

This is like saying France 'battled back' the Nazis. AFTER Dunkirk. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder FakeNewsMedia

Chart crime of the day

Also, overlay Florida's deaths on that graph. Same scale. Deaths, not cases.

This is a graph of failure.

Now do deaths !!!!

How did New York let the numbers get that high? The worst outcome of any state in the country by far.

Where are DeBlasio's quotes in March to 'go out and see a movie'? Why aren't they included in this timeline?

Curious to see this graph extrapolated to the Fall/Winter when the second wave hits NY...but I won't because nytimes won't print it and abc won't report it.

Notice the word “appears”. I guess GovernorDeath must have already killed all the vulnerable in the nursing homes.

now lets see us the death rates.

Captain Fumblenuts AKA Governor Cuomo , fucked this up beyond belief.

Keep on spinning, spinning, keep on spinning, spinning...

I hate the media. NY did not flatten the curve and many more died per capita than other states. According to the graphs you all crammed down our throats, NY is blue, yellow is what we were told we must do. Yellow peak is blue end.

Over 12,000 people died in NY Nursing homes.

Killed the most out of the entire nation by far. But yes what a success

Do you really think fluff pieces will change peoples minds? NY is a HOT mess!

NYS has 3 times more deaths than TX, FL, and AZ combined. One must have oatmeal for brains to see that as a positive.

They killed all the old people, congrats NYGovCuomo BilldeBlasio COVID__19

funny also mandate for face coverings came after peak get serious

Wheres 'Cuomo sends sock patients into nursing homes to kill 10,000 seniors and spoke the curve'?

So they didn't flatten the curve

Every word you say on every subject is a lie.

Now people are being murdered by BLM and AntiFa...

NY had convention centers serving as hospitals and an entire navy ship, none of which got used. Yet Cuomo signed a mandate that nursing homes accept infected elderly. Why not send these infected to those empty facilities? Instead, 7000 elderly died in nursing homes.

...uuhhh, after they killed every high risk senior in the state.

I guess Genociding the elderly is a real accomplishment in the eyes of our media😳

yeah great work infecting everyone else

Are you recommending other states let the virus spread to achieve a degree of herd immunity, as New York ultimately did, ?

Numbers look good when Cuomo already killed the most vulnerable.

Uh huh...

This is completely crazy. We spiked instead of flattening the curve plus thousands are dead. GTFOH

So the secret to 'battling' the virus is to expose all those vulnerable & let them die, then claim you 'crushed the virus' after having the highest death toll in the country by a factor of almost 2x? If that's winning, I don't want to.

Lol, imagine thinking this graph DOESNT fully demonstrate how horribly NY handled this

Where on your little chart is the order Cuomo initiated which sent infected coronavirus patients into nursing homes?

Oopsie. You forgot a key data point, on March 25 when Gov Cuomo issued guidance to send CV19 patients into Nursing Homes. I've got it though. Here you go:

Cuomo has 30% of the deaths in the US

Thats literally the curve we were told to avoid.

Horrifically misleading article. Nearly 25% of NYC's population have acquired antibodies since the catastrophe in March/April. Not easy for this variant of the virus to spread much more than it already did. NYC response was no better than any other state.

NY has lost more lives to this virus than any state in the union and is second only to NJ when normalizing for population. Wow - great job.

Actually since you guys are fudging numbers and straight up lying about it New York is still number one in deaths

Fuck off with this propaganda thanks. New York got it wrong and the numbers don’t lie. There just aren’t many old vulnerable people left to kill.

Virus is burning out, not as strong, only lethal to old people. Grow the hell up

I am advocating for international, regular conversations w/ reputable scientists, who help us to put the new data in perspective, as it keeps coming out, to hear all sides. We need healthy debate, to learn from each other. We are mature enough for it.

cheet_ho

Stats don't lie. The mask mandate worked. I hope Florida and Georgia Governors see this.

Thanks, Clown News. 🙄 Joseph Goebbels would be proud. New York Nursing Homes Forced by Gov. Cuomo to Take in Stabilized COVID-19 Patients Discharged from Hospitals Who Were Sent with Extra Body Bags, Later Changing Rules to Hide Nursing Home Deaths

Does this graph include the Cuomo EO forcing COVID patients into nursing homes and leading to a catastrophic death toll?

1) Wearing masks is very effective 2) Governor Cuomo did a great job 3) wow there are a lot of trolls/bots in the comments here

Yeah, because most everyone vulnerable has already died.

The real number of cases in NY was in millions. Some communities has over 50% infection rates. The virus was spreading unmitigated in February.

Pompeii, a city once devastated by volcanic ash and lava from Mt. Vesuvius, appears to have avoided another disaster for nearly 2000 years.

Why not do the easy thing, because doing nothing is not the answer and once the crisis is over we can debate the issue of wearing a mask. Can’t believe I had to say that.

It's over losers.

'Germany, the one time epicenter for antisemitism has battled back and as of 1946 the death rate amongst Jewish people has plummeted.'

When most of your population has either died or been exposed to it then yeah it's pretty easy to keep it at bay.

That tends to happen after you kill off the most susceptible population. 🤔

The replies here show that a fake news outlet can’t get away with lies and narrative building in the age of the internet.

Missing from this timeline is when Cuomo forced covid patients into nursing homes. You guys are a Pravda.

Well when all the elderly are dead it is easy to make it look good

Carry that water ABC.

Yeah, now that 32,133 people there have died from the virus, New York is doing a great job.

Do you see any problem with the framing of this?

Can you do one with deaths too?

ted bundy has not raped or murdered any women in years

Hmm wonder what happened to cause all those deaths? Maybe it had something to do with Cuomo sending elderly people, who had COVID into nursing homes. Maybe we should stop glorifying that and start asking the real questions, when will Cuomo have to be held accountable?

Over 34,000 deaths in NY alone. Nothing to cheer about.

Sort of like saying the fire department lost control of a house fire and since then, the house has not caught fire again. Yeah, no shit. There’s nothing left to burn.

Success = 32,000 dead? Nursing homes = killing fields = Success?

Let us see a comparison of how many people died vs recovered in each state.......Don't want to show those graphs I bet! NYGovCuomo benshapiro

Where is the nursing home order on the chart that is huge. Plus where were the protest on the chart

NY first lets the house burn down, then claims the fire is no longer raging.

This is like the team thats been getting it's ass kicked finally scoring in the 3rd qtr and gloating. The virus isn't a snapshot in time. NY has more deaths per million than most countries. Enough of back slapping

CoachAvery6 Death rates Lol ok Karen

Well.. that’s one way to flatten the curve I guess.

Like a miracle

NY and NJ account for almost 40% of all COVID deaths to date.

Ignoring key information like deaths&tests shows ur bias. 7 day avg's NY: Apr 5th: Positive rate = 45%, Daily Deaths = 456 Apr 15th: Pos rate = 43%, Daily Deaths = 760 *many more NY's had it, were not tested. herd immunity. FL: Current: Pos rate = 19%, Daily Deaths = 91

Cuomo the senior slayer is just awesome! Says the agenda news.

The “NY is doing great and should be the benchmark” BS is gross and the epitome of gaslighting. Look it up yourself.

I need a ladder to stay above this BS you're putting out.

The policies put in place by NYCMayor and andrewcuomo literally killed all the vulnerable people.

32,000 died.

👆This is what leadership looks like. While DeSantisLiesFloridiansDie, Chris Cuomo took command and kept his state to less than 10x the number of Covid_19 deaths of Florida despite having nearly more population. I hope JoeBiden2020 gives him a Secretary of State job.

Custer said there were less deaths at the end of the Massacre.

So essentially Cuomo knocked over all the chess pieces, shit on the chess board and is now strutting around claiming victory? Got it. LiberalLogic

Also, does that mean that we can have LARGE GATHERINGS like School and the teachers could be screaming 😱 in the faces of the children like the RIOTERS did the POLICE 👮‍♀️ and they would be ok?

NY is seen as a success because the curve has flattened but the truth is that the death and disease was never supposed to get this bad.. DeBlasio was at the YMCA while spread was spiking. Cuomo downplayed it too. The short memory is disrespectful to the tens of thousands lost.

Where’s the nursing home order?

Battled back or just couldn’t get any worse than it was?

Sure because they all ran away to Florida and now look!

Of course in early April they were performing about 1% of the tests they’re performing today in Florida and the death toll in Florida is a fraction of what NY experienced. Nice worthless chart .

Right up until November 3rd.
