The numbers are changing rapidly but here goes:
A recent national death tally attributed to Covid-19 94,000 (or 100,000)
Recent deaths attributed to Long Term Care Facilities 43% of 94,000 or roughly 40,000 (see chart)
Recent death tally in New York City area 29,650 (or maybe about 35,000)
Recent death tally from Care Facilities NY State 5800.
Some portion of those deaths are NYC and downstate, say 1/2.
Net NYC deaths outside Care Facilities 26,750.
Expressed as a percentage of the national tally = 28%
So, rough and ready, 28% plus 43% of 94,000 deaths are in Long Term Care Facilities across America and New York City.

Hindsight is 20-20. This wasn't known initially. That's no excuse for there being no logical progression to better targeted responses. Besides getting some herd immunity to Covid-19, we've also acquired some herd immunity against the next time over-the-top tyrants want to abrogate the constitution.
Add the 2 lines together. |
