New York: The State with the most restrictions, is setting records for new cases

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

85000 new cases, for the sake of comparison, if you had the worst two days in Texas for the duration of the pandemic, they add up to less than 70000. That's with fewer restrictions.

People being forced to live under lockdown, carry papers around, or get ineffective vaccines to keep their jobs should be asking questions. Instead they're lying down and saying "do more to me".

 

The raw number isn't an accurate comparison. What are the percentages of the total population in each of those states?

 

Seems like math you could easily do, but I'm certain Texas has millions more people than New York. Such a statistic would then not reflect well on New York.

 

Is the ease of testing exactly the same in every state? I've asked this question before and received a wishy washy answer as if they were trying to hide something. In the UK everyone can walk into a pharmacy and take home a free test kit containing 7 lateral flow kits. Everyone in the UK can go online and order a free test kit that will be posted to their home address containing 7 lateral flow kits. Is this the same in the US and in every state?

 

Little doubt that people in New York are required to test themselves more often than states like Texas

 

That is the first time I've heard of that. I'm in the Midwest (Chicago, IL) and we have to pay for the test if we are asymptomatic. I think it's $300-$400. I can't recall. The four tests I took were free because they were for pre-surgery screening.

Also, it is not very convenient because you are required to get the test done wherever your doctor's office tells you to do it. So, although my PCP is 5 minutes away and their office does testing and vaccinations, if requested, those test results would be rejected by the specialist doctor. As a result, I had to drive 30-50 minutes away to get tested. One testing center was in a lower room off the side of the specialist's office suites and the other was fully drive-up, the tester comes to the vehicle.

I'm really interested to hear what other posters in the US have to say on the free home kits.

 

Free testing here at most pharmacies. At home tests you buy.

 

I took free covid tests in Illinois and in Florida.
In both cases it was always free with no delays.
I think you only pay for test at home kits. Every pharmacy should be able to offer you a free covid test.

 

No, whether you have symptoms or not any local CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart will offer you free test.

 

It proves the restrictions don't work.

Covid is just an excuse for these governments to oppress people.

Look at the restrictions and see how stupid they are it's not about controlling the spread of the virus it's about controlling people

 

No the time for questioning is over this should be revolting.

How about nobody in the state of New York obeys this nonsense. March down the street with no masks and no vaccines. Publicly burned vaccination cards this is how you fight against the stuff if they're not willing to do it they want to live under this.

 

Where's New York's governor?

 

I don't need to look at the current situation to know how controlling the government is. The government has always been controlling.

Why is that surprising to anybody?

 

It isn't the difference now is people surrendering out of largely unfounded fear.

 

Wouldn't those high numbers be for the same reason NYC had such big problems at the beginning of the Pandemic, despite their tighter restrictions?

It's fairly obvious that NY has a people problem. They live in tiny sealed boxes, and yet spend almost all their time indoors - both in their own homes, and public spaces and buildings.

In parts of the world where population densities are higher and homes are smaller (than in NYC), people spend much more time outdoors.

 

Second day in a row New York is leading the country in new cases.

Maybe they could get bar code tattoos of their vaccination data on their foreheads. I don't know that it would help, but New Yorkers are dumb enough to accept such a mandate.

 

When you say "free covid test" do you mean a PCR test or Lateral Flow Test?

Someone said that lateral flow tests are only free if you have symptoms. Hence it can be concluded that hardly anyone in the US tests themselves until they have symptoms. But in the UK we are advised that Lateral flow tests should not be used if you have symptoms but book a PCR test. A huge majority of cases in the UK are from asymptomatic carriers who chose to test themselves at home after being in close contact with someone who was confirmed as positive after a PCR test. In the UK a positive LFT is confirmed by going to a clinic to have a free PCR test. Anyone in close contact with a positive case is advised to go straight for a free PCR test whether they have symptoms or not. Most of us, including me, just tests myself at home if I hear that a close contact tested positive. I report my self test result to the authorities

So from your post it appears that the US is significantly under reporting cases as I really doubt that many would bother to go to a pharmacy and get a check?

 

I don’t know.
Usually there are 3-4 types of tests available, and they are all free. I usually pick the one with the least amount of wait time.

 

The reason for the high infection rate is a densely populated area coupled with a very contagious strain. Neither lockdowns or the lack of them have anything to do with it. Out here in the country we are still waiting after two years for the first infection. Nothing so far.

 

It's basic math that you can do for yourself. In any event, the SOTNY has less population than Texas, yet has more cases than Texas... Hmmmmm ... The SOTNY is governed in a state of tyranny, but Texas isn't... Hmmmmm...

 

Hate to break it to you, but those test kits aren't free, dude...

And the constant unnecessary testing is the crux of the plannedemic scam. No testing means no cases means no fear mongering means no COVID tyranny (masks, jabs, passport systems, etc) means no "new world order".

 

Probably... since testing is at the crux of the plannedemic scam.

 

They don't have one. They have been an oligarchy (rather than a State) for quite a while now.

That's why people are fleeing the SOTNY for free States such as Texas and Florida.

 

Isn't a more relevant question "why are we still using a test that even CDC admits cannot detect infection, cannot distinguish between virus?"
