Only 17 states across the US have managed to contain the spread of coronavirus and the six that are reopening have NOT, new infection rate data shows
Only 17 states across the United States have managed to limit the spread of coronavirus, according to a new interactive tool that tracks the rate of secondary infections of COVID-19.
Pennsylvania, Virginia and Vermont have had the most success in reducing the spread, the Rt.Live charts show.
The data indicates that all seven states that currently have no stay-at-home orders - Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming - are among the states with the higher rates of secondary infections.
None of the six states that have already committed to partially reopening - Oklahoma, Colorado, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas - have reached a point where they are limiting the spread of infections, according to the data.
More than a FIFTH of New York City residents test positive for coronavirus antibodies in random sample study which means as many as 1.8million could be infected - and mortality rate is FIVE TIMES greater than flu
The study took samples from 3,000 randomly selected people across the state.
Statewide, the virus prevalence was 13.9 percent but it was far higher in New York City, where 21.2 percent tested positive.
New York City, which has a population of 8.6million, has recorded more than 9,000 deaths and 138,000 cases.
If the 21.2 percent antibody rate from Cuomo's study is accurate, it would mean 1.8million people had become infected.
The value of lives saved by lockdowns outweighs the punishing damage to the U.S. economy by $5.2 TRILLION, says new study that assumes 2.2 million Americans would have died without shutdown orders
A new statistical study has suggested that the value of lives saved by shutdowns in the coronavirus pandemic could outweigh the damage to the U.S. economy by $5.2 trillion.
The study, which has not yet been peer reviewed, is slated for publication in the Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis, and uses projections to weigh the costs and benefits of lockdowns.
The study assumes 2.2 million Americans would have been killed in the pandemic without lockdown measures, and that each life lost has a statistical value of $10 million, for a total cost in deaths of $21.8 trillion under the uncontrolled scenario.

These stats are all speculation based on speculation.
We will find out in a few weeks who is right.
