Coronavirus Cases Strain New York City Hospitals
- private23041 7y agoI am pretty nervous about sticking this out in the city but feel it's my least bad option right now. It sounds like Wuhan cases peaked 1-mo after draconian shelter-in-place measures were installed.[0] There is no evidence our quarantine will be as aggressive and I fear it will be inadequate. Public transportation is still running. We're already at ~4000 cases.[1] Domestic cases are doubling every two days.[2] Does anybody have some optimism about the situation here in NYC?
