Governor Cuomo claimed he was surprised to discover that hospitalizations in NY were concentrated in the elderly and stay-at-homers, not workers. I'm guessing he wasn't surprised at all.
This virus has little serious impact on the young and healthy. Your chances of being hospitalized, let alone dying, are minuscule unless you are old and have a fairly serious underlying respiratory condition. Disregard the outliers that the doomsday media loves to ferret out.
There never was any reason to lock down everyone. The evidence is slowly emerging showing that.
But politicians are blinded by the Katrina effect: No politician is going to be caught underestimating the severity of a calamity. And now the politicians will spin the data and narrative to justify what they did. Very few will admit error.
