So, we have 90,000 cases. Let's assume all 90,000 cases require hospitalization.

Do you mean to tell me that America, the richest country in the world and as large as China, cannot handle 90,000 patients with 1 million hospital beds?

Yes, I do know not all of the 1 million beds are all available, but not all 90,000 need to be in the hospital and most will cure themselves.

The math just doesn't add up.

Not sure what Cuomo is whining about every day except for he hates Trump.

90k confirmed cases.

The real number is at least several times that. Probably 10x or more.

If you're looking for mass death and tragedy, give it time. We're not through this yet.

Don’t you think that the distribution of where those 90,000 cases we have matters?

Does it? Let's assume all 90,000 cases are in NY and require hospitalization.

Again, you are telling me that NY with 20 million people cannot handle 90,000 patients?

Correction, we’re up to 94,425 confirmed cases.
The point being is that the number continues to grow by the minute and at an exponential rate.

I’ve seen predictions that nearly 200,000 Americans could die from the virus by the end of the year and up to 1.7 may die when all is said and done.

Still doesn't explain the math.

I lost count on how many times the prediction says the world would end.

COVID-19 patients cannot share the same place with patients of other diseases.

Sure. Still need you to explain the math.

Are you suggesting that we ship all the COVID patients in NY to every state and locale that has empty beds?

Not sure what this kind of idiocy contributes, other than proving how much you worship Trump and hate Democrats and Liberals. We already knew that from your outstanding contributions to the forum.

160-214 million people in the US could become infected with COVID-19. Does that help your math?
