So starting now the left will do everything possible to stop this from happening. I can see the deep blue leftist utopias defy and remain in lockdown, if not increase the severity of the lockdown.
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/492065-trump-officials-lay-groundwork-for-may-reopening?amp
The Trump administration is laying the foundation to push for a reopening of parts of the U.S. economy as early as the beginning of May amid rising pressure over unemployment numbers rivaling those during the Great Depression.
President Trump and top government officials in recent days have talked about seeing "glimmers of hope" and "light at the end of the tunnel" while publicly discussing ideas for how to revive the economy.
The president has floated reopening businesses in parts of the country that do not have outbreaks. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Wednesday unveiled guidelines meant to encourage those in critical sectors who have been exposed to the coronavirus but aren't showing symptoms to continue working.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told CNBC on Thursday that he believes companies could reopen in May as long as Trump "feels comfortable with the medical issues."
But even with an aggressive approach and optimistic outlook, the decision to reopen the economy may largely be out of the federal government's hands.
Many governors have imposed strict measures to try to stamp out the virus, with some stay-at-home orders in place through the end of May or later, and public health experts warned that without significantly expanded testing and contact tracing capabilities, reopening the economy too soon could trigger a new wave of infections and death.
Officials have resisted putting a date on an economic reopening after Trump was widely criticized for floating Easter Sunday, April 12, as an initial target.
-
I saw this elsewhere. If Trump is a true leader, and I think he is, he will address the nation and lay out the plan for reopening May 1st. He should also warn the American people that the Media and Dems (same thing) will do everything to resist, since they hate American success.

Your Mango Mussilini is convinced he's a virologist and an epidemiologist and won't listen to any of them. All he really cares about are the dollars. Great idea, get everyone out in big groups while a killer virus is increasing exponentially.

Besides being a first class bigot, you are an utter ashole.
There is no excuse for your ignorance, nor your willingness to sling bullshit without the slightest bit of factual evidence.
Sound bites from your masters at msnbc do not constitute facts but your bigotry doesn’t allow you to see the hilarity of your ignorance.
PleasE find a psychiatrist willing to deal with your psychosis and go back on your psychotropic meds.

I don't care what you call him. A leader needs to lead, and the best thing for our country and the entire world is to CEASE this shutdown, open up the economy with the necessary precautions for minimizing deaths while being a FUNCTIONING WORLD. We can not hider under a rock for every Virus that comes down the pike. THIS IS NOT ANTHRAX or the Andromeda Strain. Stop treating it as such.
Maybe government workers, teachers (also government workers) and Academicians (quasi government workers) can afford to sit back, collect paychecks and watch others get laid off, with NO INCOME, or maybe temporary unemployment and lose their homes, cars, families, and hopes a dreams. Most of us can not live like this. Get a reality check.

Steingar you are a fucking idiot.
In the county I live in, population 830,000, there have been 49 deaths "attributed" to CV19.
For people like you who are math challenged, that is round numbers, 6 THOUSANDTHS of a PERCENT.
Stated simply for you, that is 1/16000 or so.
Exponential my ass.
The vast majority of those who died are 75+. Not any less tragic, but assholes like you can't put anything into perspective.
If The Mocha Prince was in office, you'd find a way to blame the GOP. I'll bet a year's pay you said nothing over H1N1.

Where did I say that? I said take all the necessary precautions as a FUNCTIONING society. Not a shutdown, collapsed society where we just hide and effectively cease to function. That is NO way to live and we can NOT do this again. It was WRONG, and just because it hasn't effected YOU financially, you are fine with everyone else suffering. You have NO empathy for others do you? None?
Well guess what, maybe the State and the Feds should stop subsidizing Universities so you are no longer guaranteed a job just like the rest of us.

Interesting to see the leftist starting to get up in arms over reopening the economy. The panic is setting in.
This was suppose to be their "kill shot" and end this once and for all. Yet, once again, just like Wyle E. Coyote and the ACME box full of dynamite, it's about to blow up in their faces, again.

It was a long briefing today, almost 2 hours. I was pleased to hear more talk of how we are being hurt economically at all levels.
They talked about the food supply chain. Milk is in high demand in the stores but dairy farmers are going bankrupt and dumping milk into the dirt because of logistics disruptions. Schools, restaurants and hotels are not buying milk. You can’t just instantaneously repackage wholesale milk into retail cartons.
So we are seeing the paradoxical situation of too much in one place and not enough in the other. Crops are now rotting in the fields, corn, strawberries, while we still need these things in stores. This is going to translate eventually into food shortages at your local levels while small farms disappear. The government is responding by initiating financial help for farmers but the problem won’t be fixed until the economy is restarted.

You don’t put society into the hands of an academic just like you don’t put it in the hands of an economist.
You put it into the hands of a manager, who can assimilate various and often conflicting information, analyze it, and make a decision, which is often a life or death decision.
In this case the president will have to make the decision of when, not whether, society opens up. It is a heavy decision because it will involve life and death.
If it was up to Ezekiel Emmanuel, we would stay in our homes for 12-18 months. That surely will help keep us virus free. But Zeke doesn’t address the starvation deaths that will happen because our food doesn’t get planted, our livestock dies off, and societal norms are eliminated, resulting in total anarchy.
But go ahead with your snark. Some people find it entertaining.
-

This is what happens when you let technocrats run things.

That’s what I loved about Trump when he ran, he is a business manager, not a politician with a political agenda, not an economist, not a medical expert (as his enemies keep pointing out), but CEO of the country and as such is responsible for absorbing information from multiple sources and coming to the best overall decision for the best overall outcome of the highest number of people. There will be unhappy people no matter what decision he makes, and he will be trashed in the media no matter what he does.

Sure you didn't serve with me in the Navy? ;D
Anyway, spot on. The perfesser once again shows his true colors. He looks down his nose at anyone outside of the academia bubble, and he doesn't have one concern for them. In his immature mind, they deserve what they are getting because, well, they aren't like him.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen the leftist this angry since the republicans freed their slaves.

He Could Have Seen What Was Coming: Behind Trump’s Failure on the Virus
A week after the first coronavirus case had been identified in the United States, and six long weeks before President Trump finally took aggressive action to confront the danger the nation was facing — a pandemic that is now forecast to take tens of thousands of American lives — Dr. Mecher was urging the upper ranks of the nation’s public health bureaucracy to wake up and prepare for the possibility of far more drastic action.

Regardless, no matter what the President does here, the media and Democrats will attack him. He might as well just do what’s right.

She’s such an idiot. The stuff she says doesn’t even make sense.
“I certainly don’t think we should do it sooner than we should,” Pelosi said. “This has taken an acceleration from when we started this. Little did we know then that at this point, we’d be further confined.”

The briefing tonight was fun. Trump declared himself the final power and authority over the states. HA HA HA HA!! I LOVE how he plays the media, can't wait to see them melt down over this one.
-
The MSM and governors screamed at him for not taking authority to totally close down the country. Now they are screaming that he can't take authority to reopen the country. Can't have it both ways, and he is playing them perfectly. Now that they are on record for saying that THEY are in charge or reopening their states, they will take the heat for whatever happens.

Doesn't matter. The MEDIA will blame Trump and repeat it so often many will believe it. That's why I put the MEDIA at the top of the enemy's list, even over the Democrat politicians. No Democrat Propaganda (MEDIA) constantly 24/7, no swell of public opinion against Trump and American interests.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/04/14/terms-and-conditions-california-outlines-six-requirements-before-lifting-home-detainment-and-reopening-the-economy/
The publication of this decree is actually quite remarkable. I was floored when I read it.
Notice within the six terms and conditions there is ZERO CONSIDERATION for rights of the individual. Every condition is framed around the interests of the state. The individual is literally framed as adverse to the interests of the state.
Please pause and allow yourself appropriate time to reflect on the seismic shift in this big government state outlook. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to be tested.
It doesn’t matter if you want to be contract-traced. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to be monitored. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to be “supported”.
Your rights as an individual are dissolved by the state, where the state interests begin.
Again, re-read it. There is ZERO consideration for rights of individuals. All consideration, every consideration, is framed around the interests of the state.
Until the state government identifies and agrees that these specific state designated terms and conditions are met, all Californians are to remain under home detention; and all civil rights are suspended by order of the state.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bronsonstocking/2020/04/16/ohio-governor-says-state-will-reopen-on-may-1-n2567076
On Thursday, Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine announced the Buckeye State will reopen for business starting May 1, when the governor's stay-at-home order is set to expire. The governor said his administration is currently working on guidelines to allow employees to safely return to work at the beginning of next month.
A task force charged with reopening the state is working on safeguards to protect Ohioans as they return to their job sites. The plan will reportedly include measures such as monitoring employee temperatures, requiring employees to wear face masks, disinfecting surfaces and other protective steps.

Each state needs to vote in new laws. Primarily, when a Governor "locks down" a state, he and his staff get zero pay. Also, state legislatures will get no pay as well as state agencies and employees.

Yes, we have created a ROYALTY with no skin in the game. The Politicians should stop getting paid, and the non-essential Government Workers and Bureaucrats get FURLOUGHED. I would also add the non essential workers need to demonstrate their VALUE in order to go back to work. I know I am asking too much and that would be difficult to do, but I think we have over twice as many government workers as needed on every level. If this were in place, this shutdown would never have happened.

Ohio announced yesterday that they are planning to end it by May 1.
-
The White House has sent out the plan, I haven’t had time to read it yet. I somehow got onto the whitehouse spam list even though I thought I clicked the box but whatever.
It will have guidelines for the states to reopen “safely”. Trump has repeatedly said that if a state doesn’t comply with guidelines well enough he would exert his authority to force them to. I think everyone has assumed that means if they aren’t strict enough, he will force them to comply more strictly.
I wonder if the reverse is true? Maybe Trump will exert his authority to force a state to loosen restrictions if they impose something tighter than the White House guidelines? Wouldn’t that be amazing? Everyone thinking Trump is making a grab at dictatorship and then he goes and sides with the people for freedom instead of with a governor that openly admits ignoring the Bill of Rights.

Under socialism privately owned businesses aren’t allowed. So yes, these progressive leftist don’t care about all of the businesses they destroy. This is partially behind why the dims won’t approve additional money for the SBA loans.
Did anyone notice the latest dim proposal on unemployment? A $2000/month entitlement that would last until several conditions were met. One condition would be unemployment would have to go back to January/February levels.
Now stop and think about that for a minute. They (government) control those numbers, and we know dims never cheat. I can promise you, if the republicans were to cave on this, we would never see those numbers ever again, and there we would have “universal income”..

Exactly. Remember, the “New Green Deal” has universal income. And once you get more and more people on universal income, the more control they have.

They've succeeded. The litmus test for us as a country will be how we deal with this and how we vote in November. If Trump loses, the entire country loses and we lose the America we knew, and loved. Fundamental Transformation will continue to be installed by a version of the Green New Deal, or something like it. RBG will be replaced with another Constitution and America hater like her, or like Sotomayor and Kagan.
So far what I have seen is not promising. People rolling over and accepting the destruction of their natural rights. Many are convinced this needs to stay in place relatively long term. Mass Media created hysteria.

This is just more evidence that highlights the fact that we need to separate Metro Area "America" from the rest of real AMERICA. The policies of major Cities and their Suburbs are often not only unnecessary elsewhere, but are at odds with the interests of people in lesser populated areas. In effect these regions need separate laws and representation that just pertains to THEM, not city dweebs and vica versa.

Low oil prices are not necessarily a bad thing.
Of course, another consequence of low oil prices is it completely screws the viability of alternative energy sources.

And Democrats painting Republicans/Reopeners as evil racists which is THE formula for war, when you portray your enemy as an inhuman Face of Evil. (To be fair, we are doing that to them too.) The Dems are unable to even admit that those who want to reopen are losing jobs and businesses and hurting greatly. On the other hand, us portraying them as evil is actually accurate when it comes to the fascists in power, but not the average democrat who is just brainwashed by fear from the media.

The mayor cannot have police write violations for anything outside of the law. The mayor cannot write laws on his own, those laws must be wrote by the legislature and signed by the governor. The mayor is an executive, and executives are there to enforce the laws as written by the legislature.
Tyranny is when an executive in government decides to bypass the legislature and courts and begin issuing their own laws and demanding his police force enforce them.

https://www.startribune.com/egg-demand-shifted-and-61-000-minnesota-chickens-were-euthanized/569817312/
Kerry Mergen, a contract egg farmer near Albany, Minn., got word on a Wednesday the chickens in his barn would be euthanized. A crew showed up the next morning and started gassing the birds with carbon dioxide.
The sudden drop in demand for food at restaurants, school cafeterias and caterers shut down by the pandemic has ripped through farming. Milk has been dumped, eggs smashed and ripe lettuce plowed under.
Now, farms are killing animals sooner than planned.
Mergen said he initially couldn’t believe it when a field manager from Daybreak Foods, the Lake Mills, Wis.-based firm that owned and paid to feed the flock of 61,000 birds, said they might be killed early. His contract called for the flock to produce eggs until fall.
“I was wrong and the company decided to do it anyway,” Mergen said.

I knew we were heading for a potential food shortage the day Trump started assuring us in briefings that we were not. And no, it's not because Trump is lying. It's because it indicates to me his advisors are actually talking about it, and concluding it's "unlikely" but the fact that they had to consider it worries me. Trump must squash any panic or people will start hoarding food like toilet paper. So he's not lying, it is unlikely, and he wants to assure people the food supply chain is safe..... for now. Trump knows good and damn well it will not remain so if the shut down continues.

https://apnews.com/d21fe9a4864971427d40fd2caa61ad34
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Tyson Foods suspended operations Wednesday at an Iowa plant that is critical to the nation’s pork supply but had been devastated by a growing coronavirus outbreak.
The company said that the indefinite closure of the Waterloo, Iowa, pork plant would deny a vital market to hog farmers and further disrupt the nation’s meat supply. Tyson had kept the facility, its largest pork plant, open in recent days over the objections of the mayor and local elected officials.
The plant can process about 19,500 hogs per day, accounting for nearly 4% of U.S. pork processing capacity, according to the National Pork Board.

I'm reminded of that line that goes something like: we cured the disease but the patient died. or was it: the operation was a success but the patient died.
There won't be much point to "curing" COVID-19 if we completely screw up the ability of people to feed themselves.

I don’t think it was a conscious planned test but I sure do think they are thrilled to discover all these new tools of control. Apps on our phones that track our location history and track which people we were close to, unmanned drones conducting surveillance, tip lines for snitches - not to snitch on a drug dealer, but on two people standing close to each other or too many people in a store at the same time.
All these tools are now in place. Supposedly only to be used temporarily during the pandemic but anyone who believes that is an idiot. Look no further than post 911 NSA data collection which we were assured was “only to catch terrorists” and it took less than two decades to use that to trap innocent American citizens that happened to be the opposite political party of bad actors in high places.
You know damn well they’re already thinking of it. An app tracking who you come physically close to will make geofence warrants stupid easy. You happened to sit in a restaurant near the next Tim McVeigh, or some Islamic jihadist, you’re going to get a knock on the door and hauled off for interrogation.
All these tools WILL be turned against us by tyrants, 100% assured.

One theory is that a sizable number of people who are homeless and drug addicts have mental illness and are self-medicating in the absence of reliable, stable, effective treatment options. Sandberg agrees, saying that many, possibly even the majority, of the homeless people she encounters fit that description and that society must do better:
The lack of high quality, free/low cost psych care is disgusting. Immoral. Unethical. So what do we do instead? Help them do more drugs, which makes them worse.”
...
If California’s elected officials were truly concerned about public health, they would take some of the billions of dollars they’ve received to “fight homelessness” and for coronavirus response and, as Sandberg argued in an April 3 article, set up MASH-style units at the Moscone Center and other places to quarantine the homeless population while providing substance abuse treatment and mental health interventions. Since there is an active State of Emergency, county health officials have more latitude than ever to keep these people in treatment while in quarantine. But that might actually start solving the problem and end the gravy train of dollars pouring into the activists’ ineffective nonprofits.
I am absolutely convinced the bolded part is true. Conventional wisdom says drug addiction is caused by trying “gateway” drugs such as pot. This ignores the data showing that most people who try pot never go on to develop a drug habit. And most people get into drugs beginning in the teen years. However, many mental disorders present in the teens including depression, anxiety, bipolar, and psychosis. So the correlation between trying pot for the first time and the start of your mental illness is there, making it appear that the pot caused a subsequent addiction when in reality it was the emerging mental illness that sent addicts from pot to pills to the needle.
Our treatment paradigm for mental illness is basically to get the patient hooked on a drug. Anti-anxiety meds, ADHD meds, and anti-depressants are all basically street drugs cleaned up and dose controlled. (Anti-psychotics are a slightly different category, but are still required for life.) Psychiatric pharmaceuticals as the basis for treatment is extremely problematic, because it doesn’t address the underlying cause of mental illness and it locks patients into expensive lifelong relationships with a healthcare industry that has failed to find better solutions because, and I say this as a free market capitalist - its a huge money maker.
But it’s all we have and better than letting them die in the streets, so I can’t argue with her suggestion to set up treatment centers for them instead of giving money to activist groups that are apparently not interested in actually helping people because ending the problem would end their cash cow.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/22/she-got-a-paycheck-protection-loan-her-employees-hate-her-for-it.html
Jamie Black-Lewis felt like she won the lottery after getting two forgivable loans through the Paycheck Protection Program.
Black-Lewis saw the $177,000 and $43,800 loans, one for each of the spas she owns in Washington state, as a lifeline she could use for payroll and other business expenses.
She’d halted pay for the 35 employees — including herself — at Oasis Medspa & Salon, in Woodinville, and Amai Day Spa, in Bothell, in mid-March, when nonessential businesses in Washington closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
When Black-Lewis convened a virtual employee meeting to explain her good fortune, she expected jubilation and relief that paychecks would resume in full even though the staff — primarily hourly employees — couldn’t work.
She got a different reaction.
“It was a firestorm of hatred about the situation,” Black-Lewis said.
The animosity is an unintended consequence of the $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief package enacted last month.
The law, the CARES Act, offered $349 billion in loans for small businesses struggling as a result of Covid-19. Banks, backstopped by the federal government, can fully forgive the loans under certain conditions.
Among them, the bulk of funds must go toward payroll, salaries must remain intact and employee head count must not decrease. Businesses have until June 30 to rehire laid-off or furloughed workers.
Black-Lewis was trying to meet these rules, especially after her bank reiterated she must continue to pay workers for loan forgiveness.
The anger came from employees who’d determined they’d make more money by collecting unemployment benefits than their normal paychecks.

My friend owns a business she got one of these loans too. For the most part her employees are happy. They were never laid of so they have not figured out they would make more not working. Her problem is they need to keep a percent of people on payroll. A couple of people found out if they feel they are not safe they can stay home and collect unemployment. This is lowering her percentage and she may end up having to pay back the loan.

Yep, again, Pelosi figured this right in to the bill.
The goal of the progressives with this bill was to keep unemployment numbers high. Also, the other goal was to burden small businesses and ultimately put them out of business, and in turn, keep unemployment high. Of course the next step is to keep extending the unemployment benefits along with the over ride.

Exactly!!! And keep extending the shutdown as LONG AS POSSIBLE.

The interest rate on the loan is only 1%.
The business doesn't actually have to rehire the same people, just restore the same payroll/staffing levels.
Number of Staff: Your loan forgiveness will be reduced if you decrease your full-time employee headcount.
Level of Payroll: Your loan forgiveness will also be reduced if you decrease salaries and wages by more than 25% for any employee that made less than $100,000 annualized in 2019.
Re-Hiring: You have until June 30, 2020 to restore your full-time employment and salary levels for any changes made between February 15, 2020 and April 26, 2020.

Perhaps lay off the lazy whiners and hire people who do want to work? When benefits run out the whiners can ... oh, who cares.

So she tells them they are working again and must report by phone every day and they will begin getting their paycheck again and she will be notifying the proper people that those people are no longer unemployed. They, either accept her offer or they quit, meaning no more unemployment.

Cuomo says "Go out and get an essential job!"
https://cbs6albany.com/news/coronavirus/cuomo-tells-protesters-to-get-essential-jobs-says-economic-hardship-doesnt-equal-death
Gov. Cuomo: By the way, if you want to go to work, take a job as an essential worker. Do it tomorrow. You are working. You are an essential worker. So, go take a job an essential worker.
That is one of the stupidest sentences I have ever heard in my life.

Really? There is a certain truth to it. If someone loses their job because the economy is shutdown, why shouldn't they consider other work? Aren't there plenty of jobs out there in the "essential" area? Obviously, a out-of-work hairdresser might have difficulty transitioning to construction (but maybe not as much problem working in a garage...)
Don't get me wrong, I think people are grossly overreacting to COVID-19.

Tweet from Andrew Cuomo:
NEW: The first phase of results from a statewide antibody study are in. We collected approximately 3,000 antibody samples from 40 locations in 19 counties. Preliminary estimates show a 13.9% infection rate.
Percent positive by region:
Long Island: 16.7%
NYC: 21.2%
Westchester/Rockland: 11.7%
Rest of state: 3.6% (Weighted results)
Four things stand out to me:
(1) NYC lock down likely didn't accomplish its goal because it was so late.
(2) Contact tracing at this point would be utterly futile.
(3) The Covid-19 fatality rate of NYC (~11,267 died at time of this post, population NYC ~18,800,000 * 0.212 = ~3,980,000 infected) would be ~0.28%.
(4) The two antibody studies in California may still be flawed, but it looks like they happened to yield fatality rates roughly consistent with the New York findings. An attempt at an age-adjusted rate of the Princess Diamond was ~0.5%.

Please don't make the mistake of thinking that I feel it was a perfectly reasonable comment (Cuomo's comment).
Aren't there at least some job openings in essential businesses?

Come on Bob. It’s a stupid, smart ass, pompous answer to a legitimate question. While the definition of “essential” varies, the CDC guidelines call me, a CPA, essential.
I’m quite certain that in his morally preening answer, the Governor was implying that unemployed people should pick up a bedpan and go clean the shit from infected patients, ignorant of the fact that healthcare workers are getting layoffs throughout the country.

Detroit Democrats plan to vote Saturday to censure and bar any future endorsements of a Democratic lawmaker who credited President Donald Trump with advocating for the drug that she said cured her of COVID-19.
State Rep. Karen Whitsett, D-Detroit, broke protocol by meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence during an April 14 meeting of COVID-19 survivors, during which she credited hydroxychloroquine for saving her life.
“Thank you for everything that you have done,” Whitsett told Trump at the meeting. “I did not know that saying thank you had a political line. … I’m telling my story and my truth, and this how I feel and these are my words.”

As we, in the land of the free and the home of the brave, respond to the Wuhan pandemic by hunkering down, whimpering at the thought of society reopening, and searching in vain for a new set of brown trousers to wear with our fashionable face mask, an interesting experiment is underway in Europe. In Sweden, which has done basically nothing at all in response to the virus, the death rate per one million of population remains significantly lower than American states that have instituted the most draconian regulations.
That’s right, you can actually have your economy and a life that isn’t limited to hiding under your bed and deal with Wuhan virus, too.
Unlike here, some European countries are concluding that the virus isn’t quite as dangerous as the modelers and public health nazis would have us believe. Switzerland has announced that it will reopen schools on May 11.
According to the Federal Council, all compulsory primary classes, closed since the government declared the state of emergency on March 16th, should resume on May 11th. This includes two years of kindergarten, followed by six years of primary school.
Secondary and vocational schools, as well as universities, are expected to resume on June 8th.
Why would they do that?

3) Just a correction here.
Population NYC is 8.3 million (NYS is 19.4 million). 8.3m * 0.212 = 1,759,600 infected with a fatality rate of ~0.6%.
It you use a more up to date count (15411 as of yesterday) and add to that another 3000 likely NYC deaths rate over another the next 10 days (since some of those tested yesterday represent people who will die over the next 10 days), it comes to about 18000. So 18000/1759600 = fatality rate of ~1%.
Similar for NYS as a whole: 19.45 million at 13.9% = 2.7 million with current at 20861 = ~0.7% currently. Add 6000 likely NYS deaths over next 10 days = 27000 = fatality rate of ~1%

Hmm. When I did a google search for population of New York City, this was the first listed web site:
https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/23083/new-york-city/population (https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/23083/new-york-city/population)
It states "The current metro area population of New York City in 2020 is 18,804,000, a 0.01% decline from 2019."
Did not think to cross-check its accuracy.
It you use a more up to date count (15411 as of yesterday) and add to that another 3000 likely NYC deaths rate over another the next 10 days (since some of those tested yesterday represent people who will die over the next 10 days), it comes to about 18000. So 18000/1759600 = fatality rate of ~1%.

This was an antibody test, indicating a cohort that already had the disease and survived. They should be compared to the cohorts that acquired the disease within the same time-frame and subsequently died. For those that die, from first symptoms to death is about 14 days.[1] Antibodies also do not appear till about 7 to 10 days after infection.[2] If you include deaths in the next 10 days, you must also include people who have been infected around the same period but have not yet developed antibodies (a presumably even larger number than 6000.)
According to healthdata.org, NYS had 18,435 deaths on April 20. It isn't clear what dates the testing spanned, so the size of the comparison dead cohort isn't clear to me.
All that said, a death rate of ~0.7% seems plausible too. To put this percentage in perspective, the infant mortality rate in the U.S. is 5.8 deaths per 1000 live births (~0.58%.)[3]

https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/coronavirus/summer-break-new-homeland-security-research-shows-sunlight-humidity
New research from the Department of Homeland Security shows sunlight and humidity kill coronavirus quickly, the White House Coronavirus Task Force announced Thursday.
"Increasing the temperature and humidity of potentially-contaminated indoor spaces appears to reduce the stability of the virus," William N. Bryan, acting under secretary for Science and Technology for the Department of Homeland Security, said at the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing.
Bryan said DHS testing showed there was a "very significant difference" when the coronavirus is exposed to UV rays, and "extra care may be warranted or dry environments that do not have exposure to solar light."

You sir, are of course correct. You can directly compare currently reported deaths with currently reported anitbody tests because of the time for them to develop vs. time for death is approximately equivalent.
I've updated my post and redacted my initial comments, and drop by fatality rate estimate from 1% to 0.7%.

Are you enjoying your first taste of socialism? Life in America today is a sneak preview of life in Cuba or Venezuela. Democrats love it. This is the future they plan for you. The current economic catastrophe is exactly what America will look like if we institute “the Green New Deal.”
The goal is to defeat “climate change” by killing your job, taking your cars away, closing your business and turning America into Cuba, or Venezuela.
It’s a Progressive Democrat’s “rainy dream.”
And, isn’t it great? You don’t need to go to work. Money magically appears in your bank account. Hopefully you can live on $1,200 every six weeks for the rest of your life.
You get to spend long days watching daytime talk shows and movies on Netflix. You know, the things Democrats call a “typical day” for their voters.
And think of the money you’re saving on gas by not going anywhere. Soon, all those nasty, carbon-burning, polluting vehicles will be just a memory of the past. How wonderful will it be to have time to “just think” as you wait hours for those new energy-efficient buses and subways.
And, with all those nasty “non-essential” businesses closed, you’ll have plenty of time to converse with your neighbors, as you wait in line to see if anything is available for you to buy. It’s Socialist Nirvana.
So, please be honest with me, are you enjoying your small taste of life in a Socialist country? Are all these great benefits of socialism what you expected? Being told the business you spent your life building is “non-essential” and forced to close; being stuck at home not “allowed” to hold a job; having only the money your benevolent government decides you need; waiting in long lines at supermarkets for empty shelves; finding out toilet paper is now a valuable commodity; being told where you’re “allowed” to go; in some states (Michigan) banned from traveling to your own second home; not allowed to go to church; and having all your movements monitored and recorded.
Having fun yet? Welcome to a ”test drive” for Socialist America.

The Libertarian, Monica Perez, I listen to talks about chemtrails a lot, she calls it the government spraying. I try to ignore that part
She did a podcast with another podcaster from Atlanta. https://www.thepropreport.com/guest-appearance-rioting-locking-down-w-pete-quinones-of-free-man-beyond-the-wall/ He works near the CDC and early in this podcast talks about an encounter with a doctor from the CDC. Worth a listen.

It is often easier to describe what does not constitute a bona fide meal. In that regard, while the statute excludes mere offerings of sandwiches and salad, the Department does recognize that many sandwiches and salads are substantial and can constitute legitimate meals. Once again, the Department looks at the totality of circumstances and generally considers that pre-packaged sandwiches and salads would not typically meet this standard. In addition, the Department will presume that the following, and offerings similar to them, do not meet the meal requirement:
Snacks such as pretzels, nuts, popcorn, pickles, and chips
Food ordinarily served as appetizers or first courses such as cheese sticks, fried calamari, chicken wings, pizza bites (as opposed to a pizza), egg rolls, pot stickers, flautas, cups of soup, and any small portion of a dish that may constitute a main course when it is not served in a full portion or when it is intended for sharing in small portions
Side dishes such as bread, rolls, French fries, onion rings, small salads (green, potato, macaroni, fruit), rice, mashed potatoes, and small portions of vegetables
Reheated refrigerated or frozen entrees
Desserts

When my half-brother passed away at the end on May we had to drive to Illinois. Spent the night in Paducah on the way up and stopped there for dinner on the way back down south.
We did eat at a couple of restaurants in Illinois, but not dine-in, outdoors dining only.
