My last post covers the symptom, not the disease. Here is another symptom - from Syracuse.com:
Census: New York leads nation in population decline amid Covid-19 pandemic
New York lost more of its population than any state in the nation between July 2020 and July 2021, recording a decline of 1.6% during the year, new U.S. Census Bureau estimates show.
New York’s net loss of 319,020 residents is the largest single-year decline in the state’s history, according to an analysis by the Empire Center for Public Policy, an Albany research organization.
The Census Bureau statistics released Tuesday blamed most of New York’s decline on domestic migration. The state had a net loss of 352,185 residents when accounting for those who moved to and from other states.
Population experts said many of the trends affecting New York and the nation were skewed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Love that last line - were skewed by the Covid-19 pandemic
Actually, the trends were skewed by the State's handling of the pandemic and not by the pandemic itself. People do not like to be micromanaged and nanny-stated. This is toxic and verges on tyranny. The State government spectacularly mishandled the pandemic (Granny Killer Cuomo anyone?), imagine what they are doing to day-to-day life.
