I'm so sorry. Those of us not in such areas have such a different experience. What I like about this board is that there are people from all over, we learn more than by reading the news.
The most important person to watch is daily briefing of Gov. Cuomo. The other day he say, he makes decisions based on facts of the medical community, he has no time to pick fights with the president as for it is counterproductive.
He is sending about 150 ventilators to other cities to michigan and one other city that is seeing spikes.
CT, NJ, NY,MA and the other states in the Northeast are working on a plan to open up business. Many are interconnected via mass transit. A friend of mine does Amtrak real estate projects for the Northeast corridor, thus the coordination is massive.
Is that the same guy who said on April 2nd he didn't have enough ventilators to last six days? And that the federal government wasn't in position to ensure the country would have enough ventilators needed to fight COVID-19?
You are only thinking about people that are being hospitalized.
There are many that don't go to the hospital as for they are told you don't want to be stuck in the ER.
Point 1 - friend works for Verizon, thought he might have it. did self quarantine with help of daughters. It took to 10 days to get results (confirmed).
Lost appetite, no taste for food, felt tired and out of breath, mind tricks. Called FDNY-EMS, they told him you don't want to go to ER, provided him with spot test, 94% lung capacity.
Point 2 - just heard, another friend, very healthy, they had to break down her door. Was in hospital for 3 day on ventilator, lost 13 pounds.
Having the ventilators were about being prepared.
Again, East Elmhurst, Teaneck were hotspots.
