Yeah but how many of those deaths were due to sick elderly being sent back to nursing homes? This behavior would not have happened with the regular flu
In NYC, where COVID-19 has hit the hardest and happens to have some of the most detailed demographic data, 74% of the deaths are from those 65 and older.

Are you suggesting hospitals quarantined flu patients when they resided in a nursing home?
