NEW YORK (Reuters) - Coronavirus-related illnesses killed 630 people in the last day in New York state, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Saturday, in the bleakest 24 hours yet for the U.S. state hit hardest by the pandemic.

The novel coronavirus has now killed 3,565 people in the state and the situation is particularly worrying on Long Island, east of New York City, where the number of cases “is like a fire spreading,” Cuomo told a news conference.

Health experts calculate that New York, home both to bustling Manhattan and hilly farm country stretching to the Canadian border, might be around a week away from the worst point in the health crisis which has killed about 60,000 people worldwide.

“We’re not yet at the apex, we’re getting closer ... Our reading of the projections is we’re somewhere in the seven-day range,” Cuomo said.

And in Louisiana they have fucking dude that is going to still hold his church services, more than likely ask for donations:

Louisiana pastor Tony Spell said he plans to hold three services at his 1,000-member Life Tabernacle megachurch in a suburb of Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Palm Sunday this weekend, defying state orders against assembling in large groups.

“We’re defying the rules because the commandment of God is to spread the Gospel,” he told Reuters.

Dude you should be fucking thrown in jail and charged with involuntary manslaughter.............and if someone dies from your little get together maybe with murder....................

1. "and hilly farm country"

Except that the outbreak is NYC and 'burbs, extending through NE Jersey south along I-95.

The hilly farm country population's not affected to the same extent, and their peak is likely going to be later. NY is like Michigan, the cases are concentrated in more urban areas. Part is that the reporting isn't per capita, to be sure, but not all of it.

2. New York is tracking Spain, but 9 days behind

Total deaths in Spain, since 10 deaths:
10 17 28 35 54 55 133 195 289 342 533 623 830 1043 1375 1772 2311 2991 3647 4365 5138 5982 6803 7716 8464 9387 10348 11198
New York:
10 13 16 34 42 60 117 157 210 271 466 519 883 965 1342 1714 2219 2538 3218

(New York's latest of 3218 - those are worldometer end-of-day numbers - matches with Spain's 3647, if the formatting doesn't line up well)

And Spain looks as though its deaths may have peaked a couple of days ago, so that fits with about a week from now for New York.

3. propoganda show

but mostly a nationally televised, free campaign ad and Rethugulan rally.......

and with no "Fairness Doctrine" in place anymore, he will probably get up there every day until November. All that daily advertising, free of charge, so the Republicans can keep even more of their money for the down ballot races.......
