Here's the thing JoT, all the deaths not just nyc but nationwide are roughly 7K/day, indexmundi.com now what is known, is that there is NO SPECIFIC TEST for COVID-19 yet! but there are PCR tests for coronavirus. now if you take one step forward, Influenza deaths worldwide are roughly 300K-500K/yr with severe cases 3-5Million/yr. medscape.com and fact most people have had coronavirus since there are literally 100's of varities of corona-before you get the 19, which btw, there is no specific test for, instead of testing for flu, these people are now being tested for corona which most of the general population has had at one time or another since they are the cause for common colds- Also it is known that quinolones and macrolids both are active against viruses, specifically, quinolones like gemifloxin, moxifloxin et.al. interfere with the DNA topo-isomerase of viruses and macrolids-Zithromax-azithromycin kill the RNA transcriptase function of viruses so they cannot replicate- but no one is discussing that at all- there is a lot of Flummery going on here... "Ribosome-targeting macrolide antibiotics were thought to simply plug the nascent peptide exit tunnel and interrupt the synthesis of any protein. However, structural, biochemical, and genome-wide studies have revealed that macrolides are highly selective modulators of protein synthesis. Macrolide molecules together with specific nascent peptides in the ribosomal tunnel allosterically affect the functional properties of the catalytic center of the ribosome. The macrolide-bound ribosome is unable to polymerize specific amino acid sequences in the nascent protein. Programmed translation arrest that controls the expression of macrolide resistance genes exploits the context-specific action of macrolides." sciencedirect.com *Antiviral, antifungal, and antiparasitic activities of fluoroquinolones optimized for treatment of bacterial infections: a puzzling paradox or a logical consequence of their mode of action?* link.springer.com

The answer net-net when confounded with Flu is 0. Based on my readings. Overall mortality should decline by at least 1% Nationwide. I'm betting more. If done annually, should reduce overall inheritance tax receipts substantially, but raise property tax and other living taxes quite nicely. In addition to added care etc. As far as underlying conditions,,, this data is very confounded--- probably a good 40% of those over 40 fit into what is listed there even if not written down. Hypertension 1 in 3 or about 77 million. Type 2 diabetes... heart disease... those are not small numbers of people.
