sorry to hear it. Did you get any treatments people might not be familiar with?
No , treatments are pretty routine now ..steroids and remdesivir infusion.
Also they learned blood clots do a lot of damage from covid , so anti clotting shots were daily and now we are taking a drug at home to prevent clots..
We were hospitalized at Long Island Jewish

I just fail to understand why places Upstate are allowed to operate at 50%, when NYC has lower Covid rates. The Bronx, and Manhattan...arent they not even in orange but still closed? How is it Staten sued and NYC still wasn't included in any reopening? I'm so confused by the the most recent decision.
And isn't Covid flattening out in NYC?
The Bronx has the highest COVID rate rn besting Staten Island
Okay so when you say NY, did u mean NYC? I am asking about NYC and tbh, I would like to see cases from each borough. I liked how they were doing it block by block. That to me made more sense. I do not see where NYC cases are increasing. I looked at the link u sent. What i saw was a decrease or flattening/stabilizing. I do not see where you are saying cases have increased signicantly for NYC and if u meant NYC, are you including all the boroughs? For the longest time, I have only seen BK, Queens, and Staten (certain parts) in orange.
Correction: I do see an increase in hospitalizations. It was the only metric I saw with an increase...oh **** let me ask my family. They should know. Brb.
The chart is New York City, case numbers over several months and another chart of the deaths.
The earlier peak was end of March beginning of April, then it goes down and no, beginning in September it came up again well exceeding the earlier peak. We may be at a peak that will go down in February but the new strains are out there, not unexpected in disease, mutations, that are a lot more contagious but not more deadly so that could bring case numbers back up again, maybe in March. Vaccine distribution is hoped to be gradually counteracting

Well...if they are going to continue this lockdown, I am curious to see if we will get direct payments more often. I have a feeling the worst is yet to come (not necessarily in NYC though but other parts of the country)...at least for the people who financially need it and the industries most impacted...hope the workers will be looked out for but I highly doubt it.
I see a big a** depression coming up if more isn't done.
With it's very high population density mitigation efforts by the government and it's people have not been enough to check the exponential growth of the virus although death rates are lower. Additionally the new faster spreading strains have been detected in New York. A UK study reported in the NY Post headline also said
"One in eight recovered COVID patients die from illness complications within 5 months",
mean age 65, a quarter of the admissions are people under the age of 55.
Look at this hypothetical scenario, the Ste and city government does a full reversal says next week everything is open (perhaps even a fine for wearing a mask)
so next week all bars, restaurants, movie theatres, Broadway shows, gyms, convention spaces, concert halls, the subway etc, etc everything is open, everybody throws their mask in the garbage
Is it possible that if we just do the reverse that that would end COVID-19 or lower the case rate?
What does high population density have to do with indoor dining? A restaurant upstate with 10 people inside is the same as a restaurant in NYC with 10 people inside.

You support Democrats. Live with the consequences and stop complaining.
Looks like we're back to this again, two in two minutes. You cannot misspell words to avoid the swear filter, period. I don't care if I agree with you or not, it is a forum rule that must be adhered to unless you want this section to get a lot more attention from those above me and Seventh.
I'm talking about fully open indoors no restrictions
It doesn't need to be all or nothing. I think, as a compromise, some capacity restrictions and/or having to sit at a table can be tolerated. However, keeping the heavy-handed restrictions in place such as full-closure or a stupid 10pm closing time just seems to encourage more gatherings/parties in private residencies.

It will spread more quickly in high density areas. So a transmission could occur in a restaurant and once it comes out of there, spread more quickly.
Secondly there is a high density of restaurants in New York City to keep oversight over. That is thousands of more manpower and cost. There were over 27 thousand restaurants in New York.
So one person coming out of an upstate restaurant with a virus might come into close proximity with 50 people soon after but another person coming out of a city restaurant might come into close proximity of hundreds
