6 April 2020: The Models Stop Projecting Disaster

America’s most influential coronavirus model just revised its estimates downward. But not every model agrees.

The IHME model revised its estimates for New York and the U.S. downward, indicating the peak Governor Cuomo feared would overwhelm New York's hospitals was not going to come anywhere close to what it had previously projected.

You might think that the new information might soon lead Governor Cuomo and his administration to rescind its 25 March 2020 directive forcing nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients without any testing to tell if they were still contagious. But if it had, we wouldn't have needed to dedicate a blog to covering Governor Cuomo's COVID nursing home scandals.
