Well, even with these precautions, New York’s hospitals were basically overrun

a. everyone accepts NY was hit hard and should have had policies implemented

b. NY still overreacted with their projections. Cuomo demanded 40k vents less than a month ago

Other dense cities probably would have run into similar issues.

i think the only comparable cities, density-wise are on the West Coast and they did fine

I think Chicago has some pretty bad issues, but again, we have done things to mitigate this crap. I’m talking if we just let it run rampant.

And there have been times when I thought that would be better. Even the bad projections (200,000 dead) would be less than 1% of the population and the bulk of those (90%?) would be people at or near the end of their life anyway. Most certainly are no longer participating in the economy the way they used to as the live off social security and Medicaid. But that’s a cold fricking rationalization.
