The New York post article had Dr. Michael Baden, a Fox News contributor helping with that article. People can decide what news organization they chose to believe or contributors. On a side note a large majority of Americans have some kind of underlying health conditions. Think about it how many people do you know that are not taking a prescription drug for something.
On a good note the latest projections show a drop in the death rate, first it was 100,000 then 80,000 and now maybe 60,000. It looks like self isolation is helping and the numbers are getting lower. Of course this is all conjecture since we are in the early stages of covid. It is like trying to predict how many points a sports team is going to score and it is barely the first quarter. So a lot of numbers concerning covid are still in the early stages. The latest projections sure look good and looks like the curve is flattening in a lot of states.
I sure would like to see more testing going on though, well more test kits being available as well. With more wide spread testing we could differentiate those who have to stay home and those who could go back to work.
Stay safe out there
