Some of it can be explained by the fact that people are driving less, and car accidents are a huge contributor to overall deaths. ---

Ugh I wish NY would do this. But, NY. Wait till the news gets word of all the kids failing in WNY, it’s ridiculous. The other option is give the kids bullshit assignments and ease up on grading, but that’s not happening (admin and parents wouldn’t allow it). ---

Total covid cases doesn’t matter and I don’t trust “covid deaths” for a second with all the people dying “with covid” vs “of covid”. The number that matters is hospital capacity and that normally comes down to ICU capacity. When that number spikes things are getting out of control and you need to put measures in place to slow it. ---

One of my wife’s coworkers ended up in the ICU and was on a ventilator for almost a month. Last I heard she likely has brain damage and had been moved into rehab. Of the 7 others I know personally 1 had an overnight at the hospital with an IV and the others just recovered at home in a week or two or had no symptoms at all. ---

@JayS can you share more details about that ventilator story? My understanding is that they aren’t using the ventilators anymore because they don’t help and actually may be worse.
