I often think back to some time around April OC, when the virus was running amok in New York. I was waiting for the regular 5pm presser on Sky News and they were showing a press briefing live from New York by Governor Andrew Cuomo. He was saying that despite being in lockdown for over a month the cases were still flooding into NY hospitals. He wanted to know why lockdown wasn't working, so he had sent teams into the hospitals to question the latest admissions to find out if they had been evading the lockdown, and how and where they had become infected. Then here's the thing, he said, virtually all of them had been observing the lockdown, had been isolated in their apartments or homes and had no idea how they could have been infected, but nevertheless they were, and were now in hospital. Governor Cuomo was puzzled, his teams were sure these people were genuine, and he couldn't explain it.

I was intrigued by this, I looked everywhere in the following days to see the follow up to this story, but nothing. I couldn't find anything about it, nor have I since, it was as though it never happened.
Don’t think many wore masks till recently following Donald’s lead.

I didn’t see that, but I suppose a lot lived in flats with air conditioning that could spread the virus if it didn’t have HEPA filters. May be the cleaners.
We had a hospital outbreak of a virus - that was spread by the vacuum cleaner sucking up the stuff off the floor and blowing it into the atmosphere as it moved from room to room.
A Dyson with a filter stopped that.
Cunning these brainless viruses.
