The New York governor explained it very well in his address this morning. Just trying to stop the wave from overwhelming the medical capabilities. It comes down to how many ventilators are available for the percentage who need them, small percentage but can easily overrun the available capacity. He said he did not expect to stop the wave only trying to reduce its impact. They have 3,000 of these in New York and they are currently 80% occupied. That means when the wave hits people will die simply because of lack of equipment and overcrowding. This is the reason for shutting and slowing the pace of the virus.
