“more than anywhere else in the world”
Italy would have 150,000 deaths if they had the population of the US.
Spain would have 150,000
etc etc
Italy and Spain clearly are not paying hospitals enough for Covid-19 patients and intubations. At $13k and $33k in the US, hospitals are highly motivated to classify every patient as Covid-19 positive and needing ventilators. Being paid to lie, and paid well, it seems hardly surprising that NYC facilities are jumping a the opportunity to run their numbers up as high as possible.
