He Mad
NYC Health Committee Chair is furious that the numbers are not higher. This will definitely mean less media exposure for him as this virus flames out in April.

quote:

"Every single measure of this pandemic is an undercount. Every. Single. One," Mark Levine, chairman of the City Council's health committee, wrote on Twitter. "Confirmed cases? Skewed by lack of testing. Hospitalizations? Skewed by huge # of sick people we are sending home because there's no room in ERs. Deaths? Massive undercount because of dying at home."


He warns of a "second wave" if we let our guard down.

Stop celebrating people!!! This thing isn't over!!!!!

Sounds like he's upset that there hasn't been sufficient access to testing kits and healthcare systems are being stretched thin. But sure, it's probably because he was hoping more people were sick.

. Hospitalizations?


Do what? That is the primary thing that everyone was worried about. People should be happy that we don't have people on stretchers in parking lots.

A second wave is a real threat but it appears that in most areas there are sufficient resources to deal with it.

What a moron. Deaths are way over-counted because we consider anything remotely related a Covid death.

I heard someone say that the other day but I didn't see a chart. That's astounding. Everything about this is artificial.

St. John Parish opened a drive thru testing lab at the little Ochsner ER facility in LaPlace and I've heard that the line of cars stretched waaaayyy down US 61, I'm thinking there will be a jump in the number of cases there in a few days or however long test results are taking now.
