Not sure how much of what you read or hear is accurate...people going to a hospital for a day or two stay and then going home to recover is a lot different than what is often portrayed. I believe if you look at some state by state hospital bed availability you will find plenty of space is there....as for the death counts, not sure how or what they use to classify a death as Covid given all the other factors in most all the deaths.You explained it fine, but as I said, little of what you said is particularly relevant.All we have is what we have. You can speculate all you want but we have to go with the numbers we have been using....and the case count goes up as the testing goes up. Right now 6.8% of all people tested in the US are positive for the virus and/or the antibodies. You can't technically have Covid without being tested and identified in a case. And using the same numbers as we have from the beginning, the critical case percentage has been declining along with the mortality rate....down from 6.5% four months ago to 2.1% now. You can watch the daily statistics to see why it continues to drop, the daily case count is very high because the testing is high....the deaths are a declining percentage based on the total cases.....which is totally dependent on the amount of testing. Don't know how else to explain it. The virus is not as deadly as Killer Cuomo made it out to be and the continuing statistics prove that every day. Funny how the media only focuses on the daily death count when it is a bit high or the case total another day when it is higher.
The number of deaths per day is big concern. The hospitalization number is a big concern. This is when our health system starts to fall apart.
