I'm basing it off of what our government officials like Cuomo are saying and following the modeling that they are following. It's all based on science.
The models they are following is publicly accessible.

I keep posting this link but no one seems to look at it.

NY Deaths will Peak April 10 per the Data available right now.

Yes it can and will come back for a second round but we will be more prepared with therapeutics by then. People really need to listen closer to the actual press conferences vs just watching the news. The news keeps out a lot of these important facts.

Mass transit is still spreading it somewhat.
Gets worse in may? Based on what? Do you have a model I can look at?

We'll see if any of this is true, I'm skeptical. The point of everything the government has been doing is to stretch out an (hopefully flatten) the infection curve. I fear they may be half correct. They may stretch out the length of the curve, but not reduce the height. We'll know in about two weeks if what they're saying has any validity.

Based on common sense and medical doctors that are tracking it.
If you pay attention, everybody will eventually get it and the city
has like 8 Million people. Nobody is exempt according to sources I've read!

It is bound to slow down and even drop here in the city. With so much shutdown and isolating going on, the virus is going to have a hard time finding large numbers of new people to infect.

Well then you should call someone in High office because you seem to have info they don't have.

Many do not have a choice. I have friends and family that are in medical who are still required to go to work everyday or risk loosing this jobs (no hazard pay or incentive pay). They do not own a car and their job will not reimburse car service such as uber/lyft, their only option is the train or bus.


On separate note there are those that still drive the buses and trains. An example of this was the Detroit bus driver incident. Due to this they city waived the bus fares and request passengers to board from the back of the bus only for the drivers protection. Im waiting to see if NYC will follow suit to protect NY bus drivers.

Except some people don't have a choice.
