- All air traffic around NYC was grounded
today
for a few hours. I’m not sure exactly what happened but I assume it
was an ATC found infected
- Hat-tip a reader: Washington State appears to be severely bottlenecked
on testing, processing only about 3k a day. The reader claims a medlab
friend says they’re still short on testing equipment, which flies in
the face of what our Coronavirus czar says every day in the briefings
- 55% of NY State cases are age
18-49.
This stat is less useful than it appears, because a) that’s a large age
range; and b) who cares about diagnoses we want to know the rate of
severe cases. Still, it underscores what we’ve known for a while
now: young people are absolutely not immune to this.

- Israel intends to do what Netherlands said they’re going to do, and do
mass random
sampling
of the population with antibody tests.
