Some of them have been delivered to New York hospitals, others have gone elsewhere in the country.
This is the definition of a *****, somebody who doesn't learn even from the obvious. They should have looked at what happened in the UK, when they tried playing the same games.

I just like that you, like me, use the term "douche canoe"
So first they let us die, then they'll cut the survivors' salaries, then they'll complain that they don't have enough good doctors, because intelligent people will be doing something better with their lives. 😆
Probably why we paid down most debt after WW2 after the Great Depression finally ended. Unfortunately the country now thinks we aren't broke and won't do the same.
I get a warm fuzzy feeling to occasionally see there are at least a few others that realize what a house of cards this consumer, debt driven, trade deficit, money printing economy is. A totally propped up facade.
It's a backwards way of fixing the trade deficit which exists from bad government policy and doesn't need more bad policy. It just needs to eliminate the original bad policy which is massive debt. On a simple level you can only consume what you produce to remain in balance. The idea that you can have a consumer economy based consuming more than you produce with the different made up by debt is fool's math. If you are living off of debt somebody has to be making up the difference between consumption and production, ie the trade deficit. There's just about next to nothing that government involvement doesn't screw up.
Government screws up the market place, and then people want more government to fix "capitalism." Government does have a role to play, but it's to encourage free market solutions such as breaking up monopolies, not to discourage capitalism. The country was founded on getting government out of the way, but the incredibly misinformed are running the asylum.
Americans will never give up our way of life. Eventually if we won’t produce enough we will just have to use our strong military to take somebody else’s stuff....
Many of those places are owned by corporate owners that have large mortgages on the property. If they don't get paid they fall behind on their payments and go out of business as they lose their properties to foreclosure. They'll need to collect that rent eventually in full or go under, and it's not like business will suddenly double once this is all over. More likely people will be engaging in belt tightening until the virus passes, so the landlords will likely go under followed by the business in their properties or vice versa depending on who has more cash. This is very similar to what occurred in 2008, where there was a cycle created by several different factors that feed into each other on complex ways, resulting in mass corporate property vacancies and foreclosures
The Diamond Princess is a good proxy for total infections vs deaths in an adult population, as every single person on board was tested. You can extrapolate mortality from there
Have absolutely no idea where you got this range.......
Just a medical student, but I've been reading about the terrible mortality rates for those on vents in the ICU. What exactly are we doing besides giving oxygen that is improving mortality rates in the hospital? I'm just trying to figure out what exactly are the consequences of overwhelming the healthcare system.

Yeah good point. Forgot about that completely. Hopefully a lot of the unnecessary hospitalizations/defensive medicine BS can be sifted out.
In a perfect world those who pay can get what they want, when they want. We are becoming a less perfect world with this whole pandemic thing, though. In a less than perfect world those who get what they need, when they need it, will have to do, for now.
