“doctors at Kings County Hospital Center say they are so low on supplies that they are reusing masks for up to a week, slathering them with hand sanitizer between shifts”

NYT and I’m calling bullshit. And furthermore someone needs to take a hard fall for this BS

Exactly. The real number of infections is likely ten times that... and growing.

Either the hospitals are getting a deluge or they aren't. The death rate doesn't change that.

"8000 positive out of how many tests?"

Again, not relevant. These cases are hitting they hospital or they aren't. Number of tests doesn't change that.

A lot of these people are not in good shape. Obesity, terribly unhealthy diet, asthma. The city housing projects have many residents in the population most at risk. I would not be surprised to see a fatality rate rise and a hospitalization rate increase dramatically.

There’s a heavy taint of politics involved, no doubt. However, if you were in my demographic, you would be doing whatever you could to avoid catching this China virus.

I'll say it again.

Quarantine New York City

That is the hotspot. It will travel from there otherwise.

I know with the shortage of masks, the CDC issued a protocol for reusing masks. “Slathered with hand sanitizer” sounds like a stretch.

And presumably they are hitting the hospitals because of worrying symptoms.

There are actually three levels - how many showing up with symptoms that require test and triage.

How many require admission.

How many require ICU.
