When will NYC Peak?
Does the CDC have a projection [guess]?
My friend’s cousin died tonight. A man in his 50’s who lived in Brooklyn. Was admitted to the hospital a couple of days ago, tested positive, and had a heart attack.
U.S. is now number one in the absolute numbers of infected people. Passing Italy and China on Thursday.
They don't. Only a tiny percentage of those infected need ventilators. 80% or more don't even get admitted to hospitals at all. Most get mild symptoms and recover.
No one knows what the real number that Cuomo needs. He failed to make the shelter in place when his numbers were growing. Then he demanded that other states give up what they have for his state, and he said he would give them back after his curve went down. Right now he doesn’t appear to need them.
Wait a minute here! Just what the heck have Cuomo and the NY libs been doing for the last 3.5 years besides preparing their jurisdiction for various potential disasters? You’re not telling me they overlooked all this, are you??
Frankly, they don’t have the staff to handle all of them. Mask, gloves, eye protection, and tyvek first. Ventilators are useless if you sicken and kill off all the trained medical staff. 25 years to teach a physician and then NYC’s practice of killing them in 25 days.
The Prez is suggesting that Gov Richard Cranium Cuomo is panicking.
People talking about 9 patients to a vent didn’t realize we WOULD be using the same vent on 9 people in a day.
IIRC, NYS could have bought 16,000 ventilators many years ago....and said “No thanks”. Social programs are much better vote geters in NYS.
