NYC is ground zero

I think the article you post has a lot of good points, but should also mention that the mind set of Koreans (and north Asia in general) is to put the society in front of the individual. Much easier to ask/tell people to do things and there is a greater chance that they will, even if it effects them as an individual.

@George-K I had posted about South Korea back in the old place. That comparison has been ludicrous from the beginning. The nation has lived in a justified and necessary paranoia of a Chemical/Biological/Nuclear attack by their neighbor for generations. Until only a few years ago, they had routine civilian defense drills against biological attack. They have faced Pandemics and Epidemics in the recent past and have had a greater learning curve.
They also have a much stronger trust and reliance on a strong central government, something that is anathema to many Americans.

@taiwan_girl There's a guy I follow online who's really big into fixies. His "job" is basically travel around, be poor, and bike in weird places.
He was saying that a major difference between San Francisco and Taiwan is that in San Francisco, if your bike isn't stolen, it's because criminals don't want to get caught. In Taiwan, it's because society will judge the shit out of you because no one wants their community to seem like the kind of place where you can have your bike stolen. I guess that's the kind of thing you're talking about?

A funny story about South Korea was the time I was there first - probably 15 years ago or so. There were a number of student protests, quite large and somewhat "violent".
But the funny thing was that they were scheduled for a certain time period in a certain area, and there was hardly any "spillover". The first time I was in downtown Seoul, I was told to avoid Area X between this time and that time.
Sure enough, inside Area X, there was rock throwing, bottle throwing, lines and lines of police, etc.
Half a block away, shopping was continuing as normal. When the scheduled protest time ended, Area X cleared and within a short time, it was back to normal.
And then next week, it would happen again. 55555

Yup, take masks as an example. Very common to wear masks even before all of this. But, people would wear them if they were feeling sick, so that they would not pass on their germs to others, rather to protect themselves FROM others.
People would look bad at someone if they were on a bus or something and coughing, etc and was not wearing a mask.

I don’t know what the average lag is but I suspect it’s about 5 days. Clinicians are getting the quicker tests but many are going to the 18,000 or so labs around the country.
I think you need to think about that to understand why people believe NY is peaking now.

Genome study says most New York cases of COVID-19 came from Europe.

And where did the European cases come from?

@Rainman said in NYC is ground zero:
The feds cannot demand, but they could ask each state for standardization of input.
I used to collect and report this data - 40+ years ago
Where does the time go?
I assume systems have changed since then

@cdc said in [Notifiable Disease Surveillance Starts at State and Local Levels]
Notifiable Disease Surveillance Starts at State and Local Levels
CDC receives case notifications from 57 reporting jurisdictions. Each state has laws requiring certain diseases be reported at the state level, but it is voluntary for states to provide information or notifications to CDC at the federal level. The notifiable diseases data voluntarily shared by these 57 jurisdictions represents only a portion of the public health surveillance data that jurisdictions collect and use to make decisions and conduct public health activities in their communities (e.g., outbreak detection and control). There are several important distinctions between a reportable disease and a notifiable disease.
It is mandatory that reportable disease cases be reported to state and territorial jurisdictions when identified by a health provider, hospital, or laboratory. This type of required reporting uses personal identifiers and enables the states to identify cases where immediate disease control and prevention is needed. Each state has its own laws and regulations defining what diseases are reportable. The list of reportable diseases varies among states and over time.
It is voluntary that notifiable disease cases be reported to CDC by state and territorial jurisdictions (without direct personal identifiers) for nationwide aggregation and monitoring of disease data. Regular, frequent, timely information on individual cases is considered necessary to monitor disease trends, identify populations or geographic areas at high risk, formulate and assess prevention and control strategies, and formulate public health policies. The list of notifiable diseases varies over time and by state. The list of national notifiable diseases is reviewed and modified annually by the CSTE and CDC. Every national notifiable disease is not necessarily reportable in each state. In addition, not every state reportable condition is national notifiable. -
