I have 2 friends who are NYC hospital nurses and my cousin's husband is an ER doctor at Montefiore. They were swamped with COVID patients. Swamped. Some hospitals in the Bronx were taken dead bodies out in U-Haul trucks similar to Queens.

Only a moron downplays what was going on there.

I’m not downplaying anything in NYC. But that is Cuomo and DeBlasio to complain about.

I think 2nd wave is just a scare tactic. They gotta say it for CYA crap. I’m NOT saying a wave won’t come, I just feel it won’t be as bad as the idiotic scientists are currently saying. And I only call them idiots not in a bad way just their forecasting. I respect all scientist and all of their hard work they do for the people. But their numbers so far are way off and not even in the ballpark.

You are the absolute epitomy of selfishness, short-sightedness, and being completely out of touch with reality.

No, the ventilators were a no issue... they requested 400,000 and didn’t use 400.

Lockdown Delays Cost at Least 36,000 Lives, Data Show

I said it before and I'll say it again.. We waited too long.

How could 36k lives have been saved in a week when the US just hit 90k deaths after 3 months of the shut down ? The math just doesn’t add up . Now if it said 36k less infections or 3600 less deaths then maybe it would make sense. And on top of this, these are the same experts who said hundreds of thousands would have been dead by now when the lock downs first started .

You miss the essential point. It wasn't deaths in a week. It was the spread that RESULTED in more deaths over time.

I am at a loss to explain how they calculate the estimate, but I understand the method.

Horrible misinformation regarding this from that start. Early reports said it was difficult to spread that way. The virus is very weakened after even a minute on the surface. That's why gloves were not recommended.

The concern was touching the surface and then touching your face.
Surface to person transmission was never a big risk

Of course the needed projections changed after stay at home orders were put in place.

NY wasn't the only state that requested more vents than needed.

You can't be this dense, can you?

I just don’t understand how almost a month’s worth of deaths could have been prevented by closing down one week earlier . It just makes no sense . Either way I am always skeptical of anything the media says .

Virus would have spread more slowly. Fewer people would have contracted it. Fewer deaths.

If you start with 100 cases in week 1 and close down, you might have 500 cases hiding in people but you have created distance and it slows progression.
If you wait till week 2 and you have those 500 cases that leave 2500 hiding.

Every time you wait for the base number to grow, the result of the multiplied equation grows significantly.
The lower the base, the lower the product

Exponential spread. Clown's explanation nails it.

36k deaths would mean about a million people infected In a week’s time Since the death rate of the virus Is about 5% . So again those numbers make little sense . Seems to me that this study is just some “experts” at one college throwing a few numbers around and saying its fact .
