Shocking: Care Homes and New York City account for almost 70% of All Covid-10 Deaths. Targeting Here Would Mean National Lockdowns Unneeded.

71% of all Covid-19 deaths were either in long term care facilities or in New York City. The Pandemic Plans attacked every American instead of just the people in the critical core.

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.

If some of the hundreds of billions of dollars had been targeted on Long Term Care Facilities and the leadership of New York City, the rest of the country could reasonably have been spared the loss of millions of jobs and trillions of dollars.

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.
