@jessemckinley@NYGovCuomo Are lower hospitalizations actually a good thing, when the same number of people (or higher) have been testing positive every day? It doesn't make any sense on its face. Either the virus suddenly got less lethal, or hospital admissions are being suppressed.
@jessemckinley@saynotohypocrit 2) Are you alarmed by the high positive test rate -- over 40%? Dr. Birx has said >13 is assumed to be exponential. In worst-hit Lombardy it was 25%. >40% is off the charts. It's not flattening the curve it's flattening the testing.
@jessemckinley@saynotohypocrit 1) Hospitalizations are down but cases are steady -- are they less ill or not going to the hosp. because they are afraid? Sick people are being discharged and dying at home. Is it really good that hospitalization is down?
@jessemckinley@saynotohypocrit 1) Hospitalizations are down but the daily case count has remained steady. What's happening with people who suddenly aren't going to the hospital? Are they less seriously ill, or scared to go in? Sick people are discharged and die at home. Hosp. is lower but is that really good?
