NYC hospitals are clearly not overwhelmed yet. They have access to hospital ships for patient overflow but the ships are not really being used. Because the hospitals in the city have room for all of their patients.
Can we wait for the surge to peak before dismissing all of the preparation activities?
If the numbers turn and none of this was necessary we can get all outraged then.
You guys expect everything to happen “right now.” Why is that?
“The doctors are lying”. “Britt Hume tweeted about it”. “If someone dies from choking on a sandwich, but has CV...”
No links to verifiable data, just a stale quote from a doctor who will go down in history as a charlatan.
2,538 dead from CV in New York State, 2,153 in the last week. These are the total deaths FROM ALL CAUSES in New York State for the last 8 years in week 10

So you geniuses have to explain why all the deaths in New York State, plus the extra deaths which don’t normally occur, are attributed to Covid19. Well, maybe all the deaths in New York State are Covid Positive, all the heart attacks, all those mauled by a bear, all the car accidents, all the cancer victims. They must ALL be CV positive, so the evil medical monsters can take away your freedom and say their deaths were caused by Covid19 - because they went to medical school to take away your freedom, right?. But if the infection rate in NY State is 100% (and where is that evidence flu dimwits?), and the disease has a mortality rate or about 1%, then 400,000 New Yorkers are going to die. But keep posting tweets from idiots.
