What is the point of using this rhetoric, other than to cause fear? People are already going crazy, they don't need someone to spark a firestorm of add'l panic. Leave it to Freddo's brother..
A 'bullet train' of COVID-19 headed for New York, governor warns
https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/covid-...508513?cmp=rssNew York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sounded his most dire warning yet about the coronavirus pandemic Tuesday, saying the infection rate in his state is accelerating and the state could be as close as two weeks away from a crisis that sees 40,000 people in intensive care.
Such a surge would overwhelm hospitals, which now have just 3,000 intensive care unit beds statewide.
The rate of new infections, Cuomo said, is doubling about every three days. While officials once projected the peak in New York would come in early May, they now say it could come in two to three weeks.
"We are not slowing it. And it is accelerating on its own," he said, during a briefing at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. "One of the forecasters said to me we were looking at a freight train coming across the country. We're now looking at a bullet train."
New York officials have been racing to essentially double their hospital capacity to up to 110,000 beds. Cuomo now said there could be a peak need of 140,000 beds.
There were more than 25,000 positive cases in New York state and at least 210 deaths, according to state figures. Most of the cases and deaths have been in New York City, an emerging worldwide hotspot in the outbreak.
New York officials are planning to add at least 1,000 temporary hospital beds at the Javits Center for non-COVID-19 patients and thousands of beds elsewhere. But Cuomo said "they're nowhere near" the number that will be needed. The state also faces shortages of ventilators and protective equipment for medical workers.
New York has 7,000 ventilators. Cuomo called for a national push to send ventilators to New York now, saying the city alone needs 20,000 of them in a matter of weeks. He said the equipment could then be redeployed to different areas once the peak passes in New York.

It's possible it could become that bad in NY. I hope not though, and hopefully the malaria treatment works well.
I know my parents neighborhood in Florida kicked out a couple New Yorkers. The folks live in an older community that has a condo for visitors where they can stay in. The condo was closed today, and the New Yorkers were told to leave, go home. I think they were going fly home though, and not take the train.

Do you have the history of deaths to infection in NY? It should be growing exponentially.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...y-country.html
says deaths doubling every 3 days
That means it will get worse in the future.

Honestly, I think Covid-19 has become such an issue because the primary victims are the elderly and that means most of the representatives in Congress and basically global leadership are scared sh*tless that they're going to die. Hence the panic button.

kill rate is itself a meaningless stat. The only thing that matter is if NY or any other city has the medical infrastructure to handle a chit ton of people coming in with an extremely contagious virus. Answer: they dont.
Kill rate could be as low as .1%, but if there are enough patients who are critical enough to overwhelm the hospitals, chit's still gonna hit the fan
