Map of usage of intensive care beds in Germany
Would be cool to have this for NY as well. I have this nagging suspicion that the press is only showing the small number of hospitals that are overflowing, and not showing the ones that are under capacity, to stoke panic and drive clicks. Similar to the &quot;mass graves&quot; bullshit they wheeled out the other day.<p>To see why it&#x27;s bullshit, one has to do some basic arithmetic. Consider that if life expectancy in NY metro area is 75 years and 21 million people live there, 1&#x2F;75th of the population, or 280K people die per year in NY metro area alone. That&#x27;s 7671 person per day on average. At the time of this writing 7844 people have died of corona in the entire state, total. I&#x27;d bet good money a good chunk (if not most) of these people would die of something else if it wasn&#x27;t corona, so that&#x27;s not a &quot;net&quot; increase. If you want to tell me these deaths require mass graves, I have some fine swamp land in Florida that you might want to check out.
