The NYC Board of Health is making a presumptive diagnosis of COVID-19 in anyone with fever and cough.If you have shortness of breath, or infiltrates on your chest x ray or some ancillary lab data, it merits a formal admission in most cases to a hospital. The big question is will beginning treatment with chloroquine and Zithromax prevent these patients from going into respiratory failure and requiring intubation. If this treatment works in most then a major corner will have been turned and the health care system will not collapse.The next five days will tell the story. There is much more to this than is currently being released.

So nobody is catching the vanilla seasonal flu these days in NYC? Interesting. That could explain why NY has a massively larger number of cases than any other state.
First sensible post of the thread. Thank you.
