@Eladar
The only reason you are trying to highlight the way the C-19 virus has been handled is that you made a prediction that this would be something akin to flu and result in considerably fewer deaths than 60,000 and would suddenly disappear.
At the time, you were arguing that the measures taken were a huge overreaction, so I don't think anyone needs to listen to you arguing that others got in wrong, when it is you that has been proved hopelessly inaccurate.

@rank-outsider saidNo, the only reason is that when things do not look right and people are speaking out, I notice it.

@sonhouse saidThe difference is that taking into consideration the number of people tested, New York's death rate is 5 times Texas'.
@Eladar
It is obvious you are refusing to actually answer his question. So ANSWER IT.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN NEW YORK COMPARED TO TEXAS?
Why are people dying at 5 times the rate in New York?
@sonhouse saidI am pointing out the problem.
@Eladar
SO that is your entire response as to what are the differences in the medical systems in NYC V Texas?
I hope you never have to go back teaching 8 years how to add again.
I have already given two differences.
Texas does not put covid people into nursing homes. The other reason is that Texas does not put people on ventilators who are able to talk and respond to doctors and nurses. Evidently in some New York City hospitals they do.
Introducing covid to nursing homes and putting people on ventilators needlessly will drive up death totals.
@eladar saidFor the umpteenth time...
So death rate is based on population density not medical care.
Remember, death rate is not dependent on population size. The ratio takes pure numbers out of it.
5 deaths from 500 cases is the same death rate as 500 deaths from 50000 cases.
WHAT medical care CURES Covid-19?
@handyandy saidLol, I have already told you what kills!
For the umpteenth time...
WHAT medical care CURES Covid-19?
New York must be taking steps that increases the death rate.
@handyandy saidI have done nothing but show the truth. The numbers speak for themselves.
You have done nothing but mock the efforts of good people to save lives. You are as caring and compassionate as sewer scum.

The interesting point in that post: experts agree with me. Do they still?
But the more interesting claim: (March 17th)

No, I expect far fewer. That number is on the top end, which is not likely.
Yet the alarmists would differ.

Tell me, are we seeing Spanish Flu death levels? Oh yeah and that was acknowledged as a flu. Not that I expect a direct answer to that question.

@eladar saidNo. you tell me: Did you or did you not underestimate.

As I tried to tell you multiple times. You can compare AFTER it ended, not before.
Your claim that the USA will max out at a few thousand, have you been right or wrong?
Your claim that the US will be below 60.000 (which you claim to be a typical number, but it is an extreme already) has been correct or not?
Your claim that by May there won't be new infections, has this been correct or not?
And to asner your question: not yet, but the case is not closed.
