Here is what I wrote earlier this morning:Most of the commuters at DFW got into their cars. Most of the commuters at JFK and EWR got onto the subway. I'm not sure what is so perplexing to you about the reason the numbers are so much higher in NYC than elsewhere. The population density is not even remotely comparable. When your blob forced everyone to stand for hours shoulder-to-shoulder; there were consequences. When the NYC officials did it on their subways; there were consequences. Crediting the officials in Texas with having less population density is like crediting the Sheiks in Saudi for the oil under their nation. Neither did anything to create it.1 punch knock out. You win.Texas has no public subway service. People drive in cars.
Wow, Candycorn declares winner just like her buddy Dragonlady while never offering facts as usual and I wonder why?
Simple, Texas is proving that their leadership from the Governor to the Mayors the virus could be contained and not spread.
Also candycorn care to explain the mass transit that the people of Dallas and Houston use daily or will you run away from this discussion screaming " Trump " as you usually do?
The ignorance and arrogance that many of you on the left have when defending New York failure is AMAZING!
So, you believe that the reason why New York could not contain the virus is because of the Subway system, then explain Illinois seeing Chi-town has one and yet Chicago is not suffering as much!?!
No, the fact is you see a Democrat Governor and Mayor and believe their failure issomeone to something else that caused their failure but reality is Cuomo and de Blasio failed the people of New York!
When California, Texas and Illinois have far less deaths and sick than New York the failure is on New Your leardership!
My arrogance comes from people like you giving me a superiority complex. Take this post for example.
You're comparing the public transit systems in NY with the ones in Dallas and Houston?
You're dumber than I thought.
Your blob's DHS on 3/10 mandated that the thousands of people returning to the US via air travel land at 13 airports. 2 were in metro NYC. Once there, the blob didn't have enough people on the ground to screen the untested travelers whom his DHS was forcing to stand shoulder-to-shoulder for hours on end.
This is why you saw so many outbreaks in Arlington, TX (it was one of the airports as well) as well as Detroit (another one of the airports). It was a botch job from the word "go" by your blob as well as the leadership in NYC--mayor, PA chairs, etc...
As everyone can see Candycorn can not read because if she did she would have noticed in another post I state Trump was a failure but he is my blog according to her way of thinking!
In your own response you just admitted that DFW was also one of the thirteen places people came in and yet just 40k infected and a little over 1k dead but of course you will then lie and say that is not true either.
Also you lying troll in my response to you I pointed to Chicago subway system and boy did you ignore that and why?
Simple, you can't handle the damn truth!
I also gave Gavin Newsom of California credit for doing a better job that Cuomo by stating California which has a larger population had less infected and deaths, and you ignored that!
All you can do is troll and lie, so deal with the facts or will you lie some more?
So boys and girls you can see Candykkkorn and Dragonlady can not write the facts that Cuomo and de Blasio failed in their leadership while Abbott and Newsome did a better job.
"It was a botch job from the word "go" by your blob as well as the leadership in NYC--mayor, PA chairs, etc..." De Blasio is the mayor, right? Perhaps you should learn how to read.
Of course I never made any such argument. I did say that non New Yorkers are less transit dependent but, of course, in your unabashed hatred of reading and comprehension; you must have missed it.They claim the subway is the only why the virus could spread because all those people in other airports were safer because no subway system.
Your blob forced travelers through 2 NYC airports. Texas only had one. Sorry. You're wrong again.Fact is Texas and California have a larger population, more major cities and busier airports and still they are not the shining example that Candykkkorn want to show off because well Texas is ran by a Republican Governor!
Don't know why she hate California so much...
Wow; you're full of shit.
You are fantastically uninformed and ignorant. If you can’t understand why population density and public transit made a difference you should just stop posting now.
It is not our job to educate you on these things. Or why international travel into these states made a huge difference.
Or why without testing both states were doomed.
Who the fuck are you writing to?
You are the one that got caught lying about New York having the two largest airports in the World and you have the nerve to tell anyone they should stop writing?
DFW is busier than New York and so is L.A., so you should educate yourself you lying troll!
You embarrassed yourself and I pointed to Chicago, L.A. and Texas as examples later in this thread and I know your comment was to me and not Candykkkorn!
So give me a link to support your claim New York is the two largest airports in the world or will you then lie and deny what your wrote because you know you failed?
Also why wasn't Chicago or L.A. hit as hard as New York?
Also you do know DFW is a International Airport and is in the top ten in flights and planes where JFK is not!
So go educate yourself before lecturing me!
I said two of the biggest.
Dulles isn’t an international hub. Nobody flies into Dallas from Europe or Asia. That’s where the disease came from. Dulles gets international flights from Central and South America, neither of which had early infection.
If you’re flying from Europe, you go to New York to connect with other flights. Not Chicago. LA and California shut down first and they had trackers and tracers, and no public transit.
Toronto has population of just under 3 million, a large international airport, and public transit. 7775 cases, 5449 recovered. 622 deaths.
Toronto has testing from day 1.
Another lie by Dragonlady!
Even KandyKane told you they have direct flights and you double down on " No they don't " and you said the two largest airports in the world and not what you just wrote!
And once again Bruce plays “gotcha” instead of acknowledging facts.
Check the numbers Bruce. How many people fly from Europe to Dulles per day versus how many fly into New York?
Just that one figure. I don’t know anyone who has ever flown into Dulles. Everyone I know has passed through New York either going into the USA or out of it.
I know Texans think everything is bigger and better in Texas. It’s not.
God damn you are fucking stupid!
DFW is not Dulles!
Dulles is in Washington D.C.!
Learn where the two airports are!
And you do not know shit!
First you said no international flights fly into DFW!
Then you claim New York airports are the two largest!
You then confuse Dulles with DFW!
No I didn’t. I said flights from Europe aren’t going to Dallas and they’re really not. Not compared to any of the East Coast Internstionals. Added to which New York is the worlds largest travel hub with more flights going into and out of those two airports.
Every time I’ve travelled to visit American friends, I change planes in New York, and I go through Customs and Immigration there. Then I board a regional flight to take me to North Carolina.
One need only look at a flight map to see that the lines going into and out of New York, are more than the rest of the country combined.
DC and Atlanta have both had large outbreaks, but none has the scale of international travel of New York.
The one thing that no one has addressed is the role of universal health care in reducing the death toll in other countries.
If I get symptoms, I call the local health unit and they will send someone in a hazmat suit to take a sample and I’m quarantined until I get my results. If I’m very sick, I will be hospitalized and transported to a hospital with ventilators where I will recover or die. No bills for any of this and no co-pays.
Canadians and Europeans go to the doctor when they get sick, as soon as they get sick, when the treatments are cheaper, and more effective. Americans are much sicker before they seek treatment because of copays and no insurance. More of them die as a result.
If you look at the numbers, the thing that really jumps out at me is that the countries which tested a lot, had much lower rates of death, and I’m firmly of the belief that it’s because they caught the infection early and started treatment right away, instead of waiting that week or so when things get ugly.
This is a virus which does damage to body systems. The sooner you mitigate that damage, the better your chances.
