Politics matter. Politics is why we’re in this position in the first place. The last thing we want to do right now is be apathetic and apolitical, that’s how we lose our rights.

So the ones that show up..instant promotion lolWork strikes at Amazon, Instacart and Whole Foods show essential workers' safety concerns
Workers at an Amazon warehouse on Staten Island, New York, walked out during lunch Monday, over concerns about safety at the job site. "How many cases we got? Ten!" went a call-and-response chant outside the fulfillment center that afternoon, in reference to workers who had tested positive there with COVID-19.
Co-workers there feared for their own health because workers weren't always physically distanced and the site was not closed to be sanitized. "We are working long, crowded shifts in the epicenter of a global pandemic, and Amazon has failed to provide us with the most basic safeguards to protect us, our families, and the public's health,” said Rina Cummings, a worker at the center, in a statement released by Athena, a coalition of groups that represent Amazon workers and others concerned about the company's influence.
“We are walking out to protest the impossible choice of coming to work at a toxic workplace and possibly spreading the virus or going unpaid during an economic crisis," she said.
Fears of contamination and risk also led to as many as 150,000 workers for grocery delivery service Instacart to execute a nationwide strike on Monday. Their action got wide support on Twitter from notables such as Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and concerned consumers such as Ifeanyi Ezeh, a computing engineer living near Columbia, Maryland.
"I support all workers who are risking their health to help save lives during this crisis," he tweeted with the hashtags #InstacartStrike and #AmazonStrike. "Thanks to these brave people, many families like mine are able to stay home safe with our families."
Amazon faces another potential workplace disruption Tuesday as some employees have planned a "sick out" over demands for better conditions including double pay because of the hazards of working during the pandemic.
Workers who would not give their names for fear of possibly being fired said they worried not only about getting the virus themselves from customers or co-workers as some staffers at stores had tested positive.

I thought the rate was so high because of the limit of space/beds that they can facilitate. They have 1 bed for every 3 people.
They’re having to make hard decisions, if you have a 50,60,70 years old needing an open bed - the 50 year old depending on the conditions would get it then the other 2 will have to wait or get it how they live.

It's all that, plus probably too many people hit the icus at the same time. Death rate could climb in New York too if that happens. There's only so many beds available and so many staff working at a time.
My sister works in a hospital at Queens. She had to come into work on her day off the other day. There was technically enough PAs already working but she received a text saying 'Too many codes occurring at the same time. All available personnel please report to the hospital.'

Also its that covid is new and I think they're also still figuring out what works for covid after covid patients get pneumonia and ARDs. I was reading a reposted Facebook post by a doctor and he was saying the typical respiratory treatment that they like to use like fluid replacement therapy, nebulizers and steroids don't work and just make covid worse. I have no way of knowing if what he's saying is true,. I'm not a doctor but let's say it's true, then it means they're left with less available tools to fight with. It would just make an already hard fight harder.

Coronavirus death rate is lower than previously reported, study says, but it's still deadlier than seasonal flu
How many people die after being infected with the novel coronavirus? Fewer than previously calculated, according to a study released Monday, but still more than die from the flu.
www.cnn.com
The new death rate from this is estimated at 0.6% and would probably be a lot lower than that even with the amount of people who have zero symptoms and are never tested. The doomsday posts in here are ******* ridiculous. Talking about we’re about to be living in I Am Legend times. Get the **** outta here and go outside and get some fresh air.
