NY if it was a country has more cases than all the countries of the world but: China, Italy, Spain and Germany and approaching 23,000 cases in the state. Im sure well start seeing similar numbers elsewhere going forward, but the next highest number state is Washington and its not even 2000. Stay safe NYers. God bless the medical people working the front lines that are surely about to get overwhelmed.

It's just so difficult to be 3000 miles away from her. My other daughter is in Colorado and she is being very cautious because there have been a number of hot spots there as well.

(101,701 posts)Atlanta has some good hospitals, but its large public hospital (Grady) has been largely out of commission for several months due to some inexplicable pipe failure in December with major flooding and thus on diversion.
A very large at-risk population in the Atlanta area and hospitals were already overwhelmed.
I'm glad we have a decent response thus far in Colorado with a responsible Democratic Governor. With a very RWer governor, I don't feel so confident for Georgia and other southern states. And my sister is on the ER lines in Atlanta. Fingers crossed every minute and every hour.
