    And yet we have vastly more "deaths per million" than South Korea. It's almost like we did it all wrong.

    We sure did. New York, New Jersey and California Governors were sending infected Senior Citizens to Senior Centers. That’s always gonna boost the death rate.

    New York (and the NE) has been hit rediculously hard the rest of the country the numbers are much more in-line with the rest of the world.

    If the governors wouldn’t of sent their infected seniors to senior centers, things would of been different.

    That was a mistake, but not at all the primary mistake. Getting released from the hospital is definitely a lagging indicator of infection.

    Not a big mistake? The mortality rate is highest with seniors. New York, for example, had 43% of their deaths from senior citizens. That seems like a big fucking mistake.

    I said it wasn't the primary mistake. At the point seniors were being released from the hospital, there were already hundreds of thousands of infections.

    How many of the 60,000+ dead do you think were caused by hospital releases of covid-positive people to nursing homes?

    Would love to know who in here is ok with these guys with their guns and masks and scary outfits walking around public offices. Anyone? Who thinks this is acceptable?

    Let’s see. 43% of New York’s death rate... I would say probably 10k+? I’ll look for the data for the other states.

    So your theory is that every senior who died from covid caught it in a nursing home from another senior that had been released from the hospital?

    That seems.... like bullshit.

    Bullshit? Weird, so why is the death rate so much lower in Florida, with more seniors and only 1 million less population? Oh yeah, that’s right. The fucking Governor wasn’t a complete idiot and focused his resources to protect the ones most affected by the virus!

    Kind of apples to oranges when you think of the density of NYC.

    Nope not at all. Seniors to seniors. Seems very apples to apples to me. Population density could have more infected, but sending “seniors” back to senior centers, that’s a densely populated high risk group of people. That was a big fucking mistake.

    It is when you are sending sick into a heavily compacted senior center. These senior centers aren’t in high rises.

    Which brings us back to, what % of deaths came from seniors released back to senior centers.
