Yeah, if you go by national data, most hospitals are quiet.  NYC metro, not so much.

Right, no argument there. As I said, that's where my friends are headed. It's definitely the exception and not the rule though.

In PA, inpatient hospitalization as a result of the virus is low.   It's not being readily broadcast because people are idiots and many would blindly assume the crisis is all over and do all sorts of stupid things to erase the progress that's been made.  Despite the media's absolute thirst for the bad news, some states are indeed beginning to turn the corner.  

 

Delaware hospitalizations are low as well.  Ohio and Maryland hospitalizations are a little higher.  NY and NJ are obviously considerably higher.

Think of it more as a cautionary tale, not the exception.   One month ago, NY had less than 200 cases.   The US isn't as dense as NYC, but if you look at the general health of the rest of the US, if this keeps moving across the country the death rate will be very high because this virus loves heart disease, obesity and diabetes.

Did you just call America fat?

This is why any talk of "18 months" is pure fantasy. People will not tolerate it for much longer. 

Not only that it's ridiculous as all hell trying to predict out what's going to go down with

this situation in 18 months...Anyone saying this is just spreading fear.

You don't need to be fat to have diabetes and heart disease.

IMO, we're on borrowed time after Easter on the eastern seaboard.  The government has really ratcheted up that pressure here in PA - they've closed the liquor stores, closed parks and trails, and in Philly, they even removed the basketball rims.

 

That's on top of weeks without work, school and pay.

I guess it like infant death as well due to suffocation.  Politicizing/fear mongering using this is as low as it gets. Now what would possess a man (Lamont) to hop on this so quickly without carefully verifying it? He's liar perhaps? Throw fuel on the fire? Baby dying because the poor thing was breathed or coughed on?

Population density is only one piece of it. I understand what you're saying, but it's definitely the exception.

Obesity tho...and those other two certainly are more prevalent in obese people.

Lombardy was considered a pure disaster and it isn't as dense as NYC.  That's why NY is running about double on a per 1K basis compared to Lombardy or Madrid.   So do your math based on those places with lower density, but more vulnerable population.  NYC has higher infection rates, but much lower death rates - 4% compared to 8%.   The rest of US will probably be closer to Italy & Spain in infections and deaths, which is scary.

Do you have any proof or documentation on how this is happening and to what extent?

 

See DR's links. Start with the SF Chronicle to save you the trouble of dismissing messengers. 

 

Move to harvest balloting and the country turns into CA, where you vote means nothing until the people in charge of the state decide it does.

There's definitely a correlation, but heart disease is the #1 contributory factor.

Most of us live in or near a city known for chicken wings and blue cheese.
