NYT: New York infected America with Covid-19 Virus
New York City was the Covid-19 volcano whose lava infected the rest of the country. The New York Times reported:
New York City’s coronavirus outbreak grew so large by early March that the city became the primary source of new infections in the United States, new research reveals, as thousands of infected people traveled from the city and seeded outbreaks around the country.
The research indicates that a wave of infections swept from New York City through much of the country before the city began setting social distancing limits to stop the growth. That helped to fuel outbreaks in Louisiana, Texas, Arizona and as far away as the West Coast....
Most samples taken in Texas, Ohio, Louisiana, Idaho, Wisconsin and many other states carry distinct mutations that can be traced back to viruses introduced into New York.
Over all, Dr. Grubaugh estimated, infections spreading from New York account for 60 to 65 percent of the sequenced viruses across the country...“New York acted as the Grand Central Station for this virus, with the opportunity to move from there in so many directions, to so many places,” said David Engelthaler, head of the infectious disease branch of the Translational Genomics Research Institute in Arizona....Last week, Dr. Andersen of Scripps Research and other scientists analyzing the outbreak in New Orleans reported that all of the samples taken from New Orleans were from the line linked back to New York. The virus swept through the area in March and has killed more than 1,000 people.... Rest of article.
The communist rag National Review had a few things to say about New York infecting most of the country:
It brings to mind an old commercial:

But they got to new york via CHINA.
How much of this is due to travel to NYC? I had business in NYC in November. I'm sure a lot of this is due to business/tourism in NYC in February and March. It's hard to avoid contact with that massive city.
NYC is the epicenter of The Rona because it is the capitol of the world. Lynn Fitch should sue NYC.
Believe ANYTHING in the national review or the New York Times at your own risk.
Albert Maddow: You'll find it on Huffpost too...
Both New York and Jackson are great case studies for what happens when you elect inadequate leadership,
You end up in bad situations, blaming others and making excuses. The current mayor of NYC Warren Wilhelm II
has been a politically correct abject failure. Chokwe got a head start on the Wuhan epidemic - he pre closed the libraries
And zoos. Pathetic leadership leads to pathetic outcomes.
Two thoughts:
1) I always think it’s amazing how the NYT is a liberal bastion, never to be trusted... until you cherry pick something you like. All of the sudden, it’s the national paper of record again. Pick a side. Either it is, or it isn’t.
2) Of course a large population center and popular tourist destination is the source of spread. Where else would it come from? Do you know of any direct flights from China to Jackson’s airport? Further, 1 in 38 people in the US lives in the New York area. If our fair state had any tourist attraction worth a damn, or had any significant population to speak of, we’d be in a similar place. Also, this virus was spreading for months before there was any significant domestic surveillance. Why? Because our government failed to act on global health surveillance data. We sat around and banged a drum of ignorance and denial (it could never happen here) until it was all around us. Only then did we act, after the horse was out of the barn. Prevention could have saved tens of thousands (perhaps hundreds of thousands before this is over).
We’re basically in a situation now where we can’t NOT open because of a lack of preparation. We’re directly ignoring the opening criteria established by the White House because we simply don’t have testing capacity (refused to use the WHO tests which other nations embraced) to open... but the economic impact is deepening each day. I don’t know what would have happened if someone else would have been in office, but getting elected means you take the good with the bad. Next time, perhaps it’s a good idea if we don’t have a carnival barker as our President — just in case some real shit goes down. Again.

(What a misnomer) The National Review and the New York Times have always published facts that support their point of view and rely on information from people who have some knowledge of a subject. Neither have historically made any denials about their "slant"...one is conservatively oriented and one is liberally oriented and I knew that in junior high or sooner.
They label opinion pieces as opinions and letters to the editor are on the editorial page.
Your sources, among other bogus practices, report a letter to the editor or opinion piece as " news published in one of those two publications" rather than a journalistic piece.
Your sources pull unverified BS off UTube and reddit and from self-published books. Indeed, rather a lot comes from Russian propaganda organs.
Please read the Congressional intelligence reports..the Senate one might have some credibility with you.
"...distinct mutations that can be traced back to viruses introduced in New York."
Some of you need to know what mutations of a virus mean. You may need a dictionary, but for God's sake, try be informed before your ignorance and greed bring this Nation to it's knees.
@5:56 AM
If every news outlet including infowars repeats the same lie does that magically transform lie to truth? Consensus just equals conspiracy.
Sheeple.
8:58 - So, if I understand your post, it's YOU against the rest of the world, right? You're not paranoid, right. Everybody is out to get you.
I and I alone know the truth, but I don't remember it.
The NYT is my go-to source for fake news.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you.
