Cuomo has shown this slide a couple of times now, and I'm curious about it. While the number of *deaths* has been broadly in line with models in NY State that assumed social distancing, there have been fewer hospitalizations than most models assumed.
Could be a lot of explanations for that. Are people avoiding the hospital and/or getting turned away?
Alternatively, it could be that coronavirus cases are less pyramid-shaped and more steeple-shaped, i.e. many cases may not require hospitalization, but if a case is severe enough to warrant hospitalization, it will often be life-threatening.
