New York!! Good lord- I just read on Bloomberg that the new estimate for infections ALONE is 550,000!
Wards are being built, clinicians trained, ob/gyn facilities shut off to all but the women giving birth, in case of carriers who may infect a
neo-natal or NICU ward. I'll drag the article up and post it. new York is in big trouble, and I fear chicago is NO different. With the suburbs
(out of which most work and commute, as in LA, DC, NY, etc.,) we are approaching 10 million in population. the fact that we've "only" had 10 or 12
deaths here is a joke- I'd say it's in the thousands, but no one has the money or time to verify cases. Half the hospitals in Chicago- except for
the privates, like Northwestern memorial, etc., don't even have enough HAND SANITIZER or gloves, let alone labs with dedicated staff to run PCR all
day.
I think Chicago will be next in worse-case scenario cities- and the Mayor haasn't said a damn thing about avoiding crowds, etc., because the economy
is so hosrrific we have nearly a 10% unemployment rate.
I'll find the NY article and post it tomorrow.
