both are valid points... but they do hold up well in the face of the data. Data that shows that more and more people are getting COVID everyday That the second spike was worse then the initial one and even on Friday, we are having more positive cases then we have ever had. Yet mortality, after the initial explosion of deaths in the beginning has been either improving or holding steady.
On the surface you could argue that New York City was the cautionary tale for what happens if the virus enters a massively populated urban area prior to lockdown measure being enacted. It fits the narrative all too well... think about it.. during this time, we had a President that was saying that the Virus was the left's new Hoax and then once it was a reality he said that "Its like the flu". Due to the lack of leadership and arrogant self centered policies of those in charge, we were lead to slaughter. You cant make this shit up.
But thats not what happened when we had the second waves Arizona and Florida.. shit in Florida they had Spring Break right in the middle of the onset. In the south today, many colleges and universities are having Fraternity parties and the Bars are packed. People are testing positive faster than they ever had before..
My question is this.. why is the mortality 10% of what we saw in the beginning. Why are countries like India, where much of the population lives shoulder to shoulder on top of landfills not seeing the kind of death rate that we experienced in the early days here in America.
Why would anyone question the administrative one size fits all protocols of "Heroes work here" hospital systems of New York City... why should we when we have the perfect villain? And it makes sense that no one knows about what happened in New York City. When all of this was coming to light, reputable news organizations were writing stories about it.. I have read countless articles about the NYC ventilator debacle.. many from reputable news organizations like Nature, Wall Street Journal, New England Medical journal and the list goes on and on.. but none of these stories saw the light of day. This was the summer.. and if you remember, we had part two of the story come out when George Floyd was murdered.
