A True Doomsday Prepper
Based on New York state population, and using Cuomo's estimate of 80%, combined with the estimate here that 13% of infected will be hospitalizedhttps://www.the-sun.com/news/574277/new-york-cuomo-slams-groups-mnuchin-warns-12-weeks/
LONGTERM LOCKDOWN
Cuomo warns 80% will get virus over ‘9 months’ as Mnuchin tells 80m to prepare for 12-week shutdown
Speaking about the length and severity of the crisis, Cuomo said 80% of the state's population could get sick and the crisis could last till Christmas.
“This is not a short term situation," he said. "This is not a long weekend. This is not a week. The timeline, no one can tell you. It depends on how we handle it.
“But 40 per cent up to 80 per cent of the population will wind up getting this virus.
“All we’re trying to do is slow the spread, but it will spread, it is that contagious.”
He added: “It is going to be four months, six months, nine months… It’s in that range.”

- Roughly 13% of all cases have been hospitalized so far, 621 of the patients have ended up in the ICU and 157 people have died, he said.
This would mean that in the state of New York alone, more than 2,000,000 would be hospitalized for COVID-19. If we extrapolated that to include the entire US, nearly 36.5 million people would end up hospitalized. And assuming a 1% death rate, that would be 2.8 million deaths across the US - which is approximately the same as the number of deaths for ALL OTHER CAUSES COMBINED in one year in the US.
