Despite the recent coronavirus surge in southern states, three states—New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts—account for about 42 percent of COVID-19 deaths in America. Why?

With 10% of the population....

Well that's going to depend on who isn't wearing the pants.
I know a few younger ladies I wouldn't mind being exposed too.
I may be old but I not dead.

The US has run out of time and excuses. Now we'll be forced to watch thousands die of the coronavirus.

The US set a record with 60,000 coronavirus cases reported on Tuesday. Hospitalizations are rising in many states, inevitably followed by deaths.

“inevitably followed by deaths”...

Well just look at the infection rate we had,hell we had over 200,000 just on Long Island,but now we're one of the lowest in the country, my money says herd immunity they just won't admit it?

 

[pequa1]

Doesn’t work at just 10 percent

 

[TonySmjc]

I doubt it’s reached the 60 plus percent needed to attain herd immunity

but I do believe it’s way higher than 10

but none of it matters a very very large percentage of the population no longer really cares

they are going ahead with their lives and living withthe level of risk they are comfortable with

 

[capspackle]

Just for the hell of it give this a try.
In googles type in any random three digit number followed by new cases
see what pops up.
try it with different random numbers see what happens

House Island marketed as refuge from coronavirus

Associated PressJuly 11, 2020

A Maine island that once served as a quarantine site during the Spanish Flu is being marketed as a refuge from the coronavirus for a cool $250,000 a week. Plus expenses.

Portland entrepreneur Noah Gordon planned to host high-end weddings on the 12 acres he purchased for $4.5 million on House Island. Now he’s marketing it as a coronavirus virus-free safety zone.

House Island sits just offshore between South Portland and Peaks Island. And it’s a quick helicopter ride from the mainland. Staff at the island will follow health protocols ensuring a “safe haven bubble of privacy, safety and security where guests can socialize, party and play,” according to promotional materials.

“It’s not that safety is the new luxury. Safety is luxury,” Gordon said.

The island was the site of the city’s inspection and quarantine station between 1907 and 1937.
