NH is more rural than Mass, NY etc... so it logical that we have less cases, and that is especially true because of the shutdown in NH that is saving lives. The media is not over hyping it. Main street journalism is not fake news. Facts are facts.

I understand that a lot of small companies, restaurants etc., are not going to come out of this ok. Doubt many of use will come out unscathed. Especially because there is no end it sight. Vaccine seems to be the only way and that is at least 12++ months away. Until that day and until you somehow vaccinate 300 million ++ people thing are a long way from returning to normal.

From the NYT yesterday, "In the first five days of April, 1,125 people were pronounced dead in their homes or on the street in New York City, more than eight times the deaths recorded during the same period in 2019, according to the Fire Department.

Many of these deaths were probably caused by Covid-19, but were not accounted for in the coronavirus tallies given by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo during his widely watched daily news conferences — statistics that are viewed as key measures of the impact of the outbreak.

On Thursday, Mr. Cuomo said 799 people in New York had died from coronavirus in a single 24-hour period — more than 33 an hour — bringing the state’s total to 7,067.

But epidemiologists, city officials and medical personnel say those numbers are likely to be far below the city’s actual death toll.
