Deaths trail cases, Texas and Florida currently have 10x the new cases as New York not adjusted for population. You’re making very basic mistakes with numbers,

  You're also coaching numbers. The point of the lockdowns were to not overwhelm hospitals. 10x new cases in Texas and Florida while new York is trending down is not hugely surprising. It also doesn't say much both states are also testing more. Also population wise both are more populous. Either way... The point being to not overwhelm hospitals.. The question isn't whether they have 10x the amount of cases as ny now. Its whether they can handle the hospital numbers.

    No, some people actually understand how the numbers interplay with a real scenario, which is why I gave you the raw numbers to see what you did. And you immediately jumped in and drew an illogical conclusion to support your point. You’re spreading disinformation. If you need to do this to make yourself feel better, do it. But don’t become a spreader.

      What was my illogical conclusion? Can you please reiterate what conclusion you think im trying to reach? My only point is That the point of the lockdowns was not to overwhelm hospitals and even with the increases in tx and fl, they are unlikely to do so? How is that illogical? I do not deny the rise on cases in those states. What i question is whether that means theyve failed in achieving their original goal of not overwhelming hospitals.
