Illegals?My guess is that's a good reason that a body might not be claimed and need to be buried on Hart Island (NYC's current potter's field.)
The model suggests that NYC should be pretty much through the epidemic by the end of the month. Unfortunately, NY + NJ's efforts to "flatten the curve" have largely been ineffective. The two states have roughly 1/2 the deaths in the US now. At the end, the two states combined should have about 1/3 of the total US deaths.
This is terrible, since their combined population is less than 10% of the total US population.

Not at all. Italy’s, Spain’s and France’s lesson is that unless a universally effective treatment is found, the whole nation will see a per capita number similar to NYC’s, just delayed.

People have been lulled into a sense of complacency by Xi Jinping’s fake numbers. They criticize those numbers, while accepting them as a baseline for our numbers. In reality, the numbers coming in from Europe are probably a better bet.

Birx said that people who die from COVID on average die 20 days after becoming infected.
So the people who died today, on average, became infected around March 21st.
Were people trying to mitigate back then?
