Medical personnel were not prepared for this in NYC. Flying blind and the public's fear of going to emergency room during a pandemic and (piling on) the elder care facilities, it was a cluster f#!%. Now that they have their bearings and with fewer patients from nursing homes the deaths will (and are) dropping. Worst is past, now it's wait and see how much better it gets. This is not the pandemic from the movies that makes Stephen King look like nostradamus. That pandemic will eventually happen, especially if we keep slaughtering and eating animals. When that happens we will all proclaim Joaquin Phoenix as "nostradamus"
