Just google it there are several articles. My hometown is a hotspot. Cuomo is sending rapid testing machines to several hotspots. The orthodox Jewish Communities have been another area. Tough to deal with that. ( Not making any judgements here)

I did which is why I was wondering what you were referring too...Onondaga County had 12 cases yesterday...pretty much inline with daily cases over the last few months. Or are you referring to the location of our next opponent (Duke)?

Not a concern with current numbers of course. But if it continues then I could see College athletics on the chopping block. If things reverted to last spring, hopefully won’t happen

Interesting...that number is different than what the County posts.

I tend to lean towards what the County provides as being more accurate. According to McMahon the State double counts a lot of positive tests. Not sure if that is causing the discrepancy or not though.

In NYC it's the Orthodox community that's leading the way.

NYC and downstate. Pretty much non existent upstate

County cases have been pretty flat for a long time. Looks like the college kids coming in haven't made an impact. Good to see.

Great point, I have heard that similar thing from people on public health; the county vs state discrepancy in numbers. Also, we need to look at relative #'s as being < .01 positivity for so long after the sacrifices and great job NY achieved, will look even more significant after our success.

Guess I look at it different, I think you jump all over even a small surge ( which we absolutely have in Broome) because once that snowball gets rolling it is 10x harder to stop.

 

[CuyahogaCuse]

Agree with jumping on the surge. But what is the percentage of positive tests number? That’s really the number to watch, to see if it remains under control.
