Possible that NY is doing much more testing so they are counting more less severe cases.
NY currently only tests patients Seriously ill

just got this from an extremely qualified doctor:

"A recent study just published showed viral shedding can occur from mild patients as long as 10 days after symptoms resolve."

Don't need to trust a random internet source, but please take into considerations when contemplating your decisions and Yom Tov plans. Lo Sa'amod al dam raecha.
Why is the CDC and all doctors allowing you to leave your house 3 days after symptoms clear?



https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/steps-when-sick.html

How to discontinue home isolation
People with COVID-19 who have stayed home (home isolated) can stop home isolation under the following conditions:
If you will not have a test to determine if you are still contagious, you can leave home after these three things have happened:
You have had no fever for at least 72 hours (that is three full days of no fever without the use medicine that reduces fevers)
AND
other symptoms have improved (for example, when your cough or shortness of breath have improved)
AND
at least 7 days have passed since your symptoms first appeared

Local doctor here in CH is basically telling people that as hard as it is, even if you consider yourself recovered, you should not be making sedarim together, not even with other “recovered” families.

I know someone who tested positive with very minor symptoms, and three weeks later still tested positive even though he has been symptom free for a while already...

It’s interesting that two sequential negative tests (24 hours apart) is still considered the way to confirm someone is no longer viral. Meanwhile there are been many reports of false negatives, even one report on DDF of 3 negatives for a patient with symptoms.

This was asked of Dr Brix yesterday at the press conference and she said she will looked into it.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

spoke to a doctor about the percentage of tests that come back negative being significantly greater than the positives, even among symptomatic people. He responded that he has had entire families get tested, where all feeling symptoms, and still and mixed results of positive and negative (when clearly they all had it). Said a negative is very far from reliable. Feel like that's something that needs more attention. We don't just need more testing. We need more accurate testing.

Call me cynical, but nobody mentioned the need for accuracy before. There were a lot of complaints about not enough tests to go around and that the tests were being hogged for use on celebrities, so the natural solution was to make millions of placebo tests. Once Congress guaranteed that the tests would be fully paid for by a third party for anyone who wants to get one, entrepreneurs saw the giant opportunity. A box of Qtips has 500 sticks in it, easy $2000 profit per box. Lab testing is not necessary, just randomly tell people positive or negative. Who's going to know or complain?

My impression is that it makes the website think that you are google parsing the site.
