Heard that Hatzalah in Lakewood, Monsey and Boro Park has seen a decline in call volume over the last week. Also hearing similar from bikur cholim. There is a theory that that the frum community got hit earlier because of Purim and therefore is peaking earlier than the country as a whole. The one benefit to this (for the frum community) is obviously the healthcare resources. Time will tell. We need to keep davening and take every precaution we can.

Wanted to post a while ago, that the purim exposure was to our advantage, so we got it while the hospitals can still handle us...
Nobody will know, but Yad Hashem had everything planned out.

Cautiously hoping (and davening) for good news. Not to be too negative in this thread, but this article states:

“ Borrelli also noted with a measure of satisfaction that the number of those hospitalized but not in ICU beds also has decreased.”

It’s a net decrease, but how much of it is attributable to discharged patients vs. patients escalated to ICU (or R”L worse...)?

Details on the study? Double-blind controlled? How many patients?

tbh I skimmed it and missed that, I guess we need to hope the trend continues, the numbers are staggering.

No study at all. Just a reporter noting how the 2 matched up.
