NYC warns several neighborhoods could be put on strict lockdown TODAY with all non-essential businesses closed, a ban on gatherings of more than 10 people and schools shut down amid 'deeply concerning' surge in COVID-19 cases Eight neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens have been identified as potential targets for new lockdowns The average positivity rate across all eight neighborhoods - which have large Orthodox Jewish communities - is 3.3 percent higher than the city's overall rateOfficials said they could announce new restrictions for specific zip codes as of early Tuesday morning It comes as New York state recorded a positivity rate of 1.5 percent on Sunday - the highest since mid-July Gov Andrew Cuomo on Monday said spikes in the Big Apple are a 'big contributor' in the state's climbing rate
+13 New York City is bracing for another round of crippling shutdowns as eight neighborhoods experience 'alarming' surges in coronavirus infection rates. The map above shows the Sunday infection rate for each problem neighborhood The highest increase in infections came in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, where the positivity rate hit 17 percent on Sunday, according to city data. Other problems areas include Edgemere / Far Rockaway (14 percent), Gravesend / Homecrest (12.14 percent), Flatlands/Midwood (11 percent), Gerritsen Beach / Homecrest / Sheepshead Bay (10.82 percent), Midwood (9 percent), Bensonhurst / Mapleton (9 percent), and Kew Gardens (6 percent). The average positivity rate across those eight neighborhoods - which now account for 23 percent of New York City's more than 238,000 cases - is 3.3 percent higher than the city's overall positivity rate, which came in at 1.3 percent on Friday. Many of the outlined regions of the city have are home to a large Orthodox Jewish communities. The surge comes as New York state recorded a positivity rate of 1.5 percent on Sunday - the highest it's been since mid-July. Gov Andrew Cuomo announced the latest positivity rate at a press conference on Monday, saying that spikes in the Big Apple were a 'big contributor'. He said that the state is ramping up efforts to keep the pandemic under control by sending in additional health department officers to high risk areas to ensure 'additional testing and compliance measures'. 'It's very targeted and focused on those clusters,' Cuomo said of the state's heightened efforts. In addition to the neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens, Cuomo said that surges in the mid-Hudson region were pushing up the state's positivity rate. He outlined eight zip codes in the state with troubling rates. In Rockland County, 30 percent of tests came back positive in 10977 on Sunday, 25 percent came back positive in 10952 and 22 percent came back positive in 10950. In Orange County, the 10950 zip code had a positivity rate of 22 percent. In Broome County, the 13905 zip code had a positivity rate of 10 percent. In Brooklyn, the worst zip codes were: 11219 (17 percent positive), 11210 (11 percent positive), 11204 (9 percent positive), 11230 (9 percent positive). In Queens, the worst zip code was 11367 (6 percent positive). Cuomo said that zip codes ranking in the top ten 'represent 2.9 percent of the state's population and 25 percent of the cases'. Those zip codes can expect to receive some of the 200 rapid testing machines being deployed around the state in the next few days, he said. The 20 zip codes with the most new cases accounted for 37 percent of the state's total tally on Sunday, Cuomo added.

前一阵以色列就是赶在犹太节日前lockdown了。。。。
有可能，疫情上升的区域大都是犹太聚居地
希望 纽约快点过去吧
马上有印度的节日了吧
这段时间好几个犹太节日，这几个地区都是犹太区。 这些犹太人吧，也是顽固得很，三月四月最厉害的时候，他们还集体给rabbi送葬，都不戴口罩，几百上千人挤在一起。现在听说那几个区也没有人戴口罩，跟曼哈顿完全不能比，岛上几乎口罩是标配，90多度一样戴得好好的。
电视上看到那些犹太人在街上到处走基本没戴口罩的
他们咋还没有群体免疫？看来群体免疫根本行不通
估计三四月送葬那波都陪葬了？ 群免得是有免疫力的活人，对吧？死人对群免没有贡献 我反正是不相信群免的，信群免不如信口罩
daily death从四月初的4位数，下降到现在的个位数，请问这不是群免什么是群免？
狱友就不要多操心了
我到意见版举报去。
那你说怎么这几个地方不群免啊？这几个地区三四月份也是最严重的地方。 现在曼岛99％戴口罩，四月没几个人戴。That''s the difference. 信群免不如信口罩
四月初是shelter in place，比戴口罩有用多了。
不群免的州很多，纽约这个曲线跟欧洲的西班牙意大利法国瑞典几乎一样。
现在跟shelter in place差别很大？大部分人都还没上班呢！
shelter in place作用远远大过口罩（极端例子就是国内），就算是和口罩效果一样，那结论也是一样的，现在的daily death比四月初下降了3个数量级。
因为素质极差啊
群免根本解释不了这几个春天重灾区现在阳性率这么高的原因。曼岛春季是全市疫情最轻的地方，相反阳性率还没有这么高。
现在的daily death比四月初下降了3个数量级原因太多了，可能是因为病毒变弱，可能是因为气温高。随着气温降低，如果阳性率继续两位数，前景不容乐观。
主要现在都是年轻人感染多，还有医疗手段进步，医院没有被挤爆。NYC之前感染死亡的多是中老年人。
信教的人很多以为有神仙附体，古今中外，概莫能外。 春天疫情最严重的时候，Brooklyn有个犹太学校偷偷开门上学，被人举报了，警察在一个教室里就找到60多个学生。后来市长跟rabbi们好好沟通，让他们号召社区防疫，才把这些地方暂时控制住。看来市长又要找rabbi开会了。
NYC那时候养老院没有守住，死了一大批人。
病毒良心发现了，放过老年人专攻年轻人？
开会有啥用 直接查税 。。。 然后就都听话了 这是欧洲的经验。。。
病毒没准儿就是看人下菜，复工复学，那一定是导致second wave，街上打砸抢烧，病毒也被吓走了！
