Yup.
IMHO the ‘over reaction’ is about more than just the virus.
Although it looks like the ICU bed situation in NYC is going to be a complete shit show before long.
Hopefully not though.
The NYC cases will quickly fill the beds in surrounding areas. Those living in surrounding suburban and rural areas will be late to the party and the inn will be full, to mix metaphors. Hopefully those NYers who are most vulnerable will heed the warnings to stay inside.
