We don’t know what would have happened here if the lockdown hadn’t happened, only models and educated guesses. NYC isn’t exactly a great representation of the USA as a whole. It’s probably the most ideal place for a virus to spread efficiently. Like, COVID-19 probably got a virus boner when it arrived in New York.
I don’t think I’m missing anything here, just presenting a contrarian view to the usual talking points surrounding this whole mess. And I asked for some statistics showing where our medical resources are being strained by this. Just regular medical resources, not the emergency backup sources. I haven’t heard anything about ventilators lately how are we doing there?
