What makes you think death rate will decline? The coronavirus seems treatable with proper medical care. The problem is that if the number spikes too quickly then hospitals are overrun and people can't get proper medical attention which could lead to the death rate rising. That's why the isolation is so important to give hospitals a chance to keep up and give proper medical attention to people who are infected.
Agreed. Isolation is the key (either in the hospital or at home). The majority of cases we have seen so far of either suspected/confirmed are on home isolation right now with very few/if any confirmed cases requiring hospitalization (so far). Super packed hospitals is always an issue but certainly moreso now and not just for COVID-19 suspects. When you start taking care of more patients, it's impossible to provide the same high level care as if you have fewer patients and more mistakes get made. You would also probably be amazed at how it has impacted how people have been operating. People have been so focused on diagnosing or testing for this in the hospital that they've been ignoring and sometimes missing much more common things (that there actually is treatment for) in the process for something that at the end of the day is going to be managed the same (place on isolation and supportive care).

Also, I think the idea is that once you start testing more people you start identifying milder and asymptomatic cases increasing the overall number of cases. So instead of only testing the absolute most sick people and looking at say 5 out of 100 people dying (5%), you now have that 5 out of say 150, 200, or 1000 cases. So the percentage of deaths drops.

I’m In The Process Of Buying A Co-Op Wonder If This Is A Great Or Terrible Decision With All This Going On :patrice:

I just bought some property myself and was wondering the same thing. Dicey times we're living in.

We don't see the NY market changing drastically. If you plan on staying there for awhile you'll be fine.
