> death numbers and hospitalization numbers don't lie.
Death numbers are close but still have some uncertainty. New York for example is reporting much higher than usual numbers of people found dead at home. Not clear if they have been tested, if they are victims, or if maybe they had unrelated medical problems but couldn't/wouldn't go to a hospital under these circumstances.
- Spooky23 6y agoKey thing in New York is that the protocol is about fever. You won’t be allowed in a doctors office unless confirmed negative, and you usually need a fever to get tested. There are many scenarios where people in need of care won’t get it. It’s a vicious cycle and it’s fueling the ignorant rhetoric downplaying the broader issues.
- thomquaid 6y agoMore people are found dead at home because during a lockdown-at-home you're simply more likely to be at home at any given point in time overall, obviously.
