Reporter asks ‘you are using only 16,000 beds, and you said you would need at least 110,000.’ As Tucker discussed Friday night, hospitalization rates nationwide are only about 15-20% of what the models predicted.

“It is easy for us to sit behind a keyboard and criticize them. Ask yourself, if you had to make these decisions and realized you had to answer to a partisan press who wanted stories where “If it bleeds, it leads”, what would you do?”
Hey pal, I was merely commenting that a reporter asked Cuomo a valid question, which has been a rarity with him, inasmuch the reporters interrogating the president is completely opposite.
“What the hell is the matter with women today!!!”
A question asked since the dawn of time.
“Our county has 3498 cases and 83 deaths with a death rate of 2.37 percent.”
Your county has 3498 known cases and who knows HOW many unknown cases. In other words, your county has no idea how many people have been infected.
In order to understand what’s going on, they need extensive RANDOM testing to estimate the true level and spread of infected.
Testing and confirming only those sick enough to need hospitalization, and then using that case database as the denominator to calculate a mortality rate, or as a base for the rate of spread - is just INSANE!
That is like saying that if 2% of all people hospitalized for bee stings died as a result, then we can conclude 2% is the death rate from bee stings! Obviously, that is absurd, because the ONLY people who go to the hospital for bee stings are the people who feel their life is in danger - it is a statistically flawed sample.
It is the same with Coronavirus, and it is the reason the “case” data, and the “curve”, and the “death rate” - it’s all a load of crap.
Hey, maybe this virus is as bad as the Spanish Flu - I’m not trying to downplay anything.
But until they do random testing and get a good estimate of the true number of infections, they know nothing at all.
For some reason I believe her
heh heh....she said boobs....heh heh
Guaranteed: BEST line on this thread!
My girlfriend and her son both had the ‘crud’ the end of November. Could barely breath but both tested negative for flu or pneumonia. Thankfully, I got nothing.
thanks....that’s a big one I overlooked.....easily a million nursing home deaths a year, wouldn’t you guess ?
It takes about 5 days to show symptoms so if cases were down last two days it means fewer infections 5-6 days ago which would be a Monday or Tuesday. Nothing to do with subway ridership on weekends
damn auto correct meant to say BOOKS
If this is true what Trump has been saying about the exaggeration of the need for ventilators in this crisis is way overblown is true.After Cuomo whining to trump to send in the corps of engineers to build him temp hospitals,The Corps of Engineers built a 2500 bed temp hospital in the NYC Javits center exclusively for covid 19 patients. Not a one is there.
This HAS to be exposed soon. I know Trump pays astute attention to what’s going on so I am standing in belief he will be making changes soon. Like a poster just said that Trump said at a recent presser that he is adding more people to the cv team and I think it’s to dilute the evil being brought on by fauci and birx
That said, the CDC is tracking Flu for this season. Flu is a bit more complicated because they are tracking two strains, "A" and "B". The data file is an html page and needs to be screen-scraped. They are also plotting cases not total cases like COVID-19. That said, there is a nice graphic CDC Weekly Flu Plot here.
I'll see what I can do with the data and try to generate something with total cases. The weekly dates are an odd format so need to be converted. It needs some data "cleaning" to compare to the COVID-19. That is the annoying part of data analysis. If I get something useful, I'll post it.
“What numbers are a fraud ? The actual cases, the hospital usage. The deaths ? The numbers reported each day in NY and NJ are not a fraud.”
I won’t use the term fraud. I will use the term uncertainty as to cause. Simply put, most that die are over 80 and already have preexisting conditions. They also have tested positive for Covid. NY counts anyone that has covid as a covid death even though the covid was not a contributing factor to their death. Germany does not. Why do you think that Germany has the lowest mortality rate, less than 1/2 of 1% relative to cases in the world and Italy has the highest. Italy counts covid deaths like NY does.
ny subways a few days ago.
Maybe the crying Gov needs to address this as well as why planned parenthood is using medical equipment when it is needed elsewhere .
FB has banned me from showing it on there.
Weekends impact testing.
I could not stop laughing!
They would have to do random samplings of a certain given number each testing cycle over several weeks to see if the numbers are increasing or decreasing. It’s bit late in the game but with antibody testing becoming available we can at assess the true number of exposed/ got over it folks.
Because, as you know, “cabin fever is a true threat to the Constitution.”
