Joe Rogan had a guest who had a bad case of corona. He said that his doctor saved his life by not putting him on ventilator. He didn't disclose what kind of medicine they were giving him. He said that he also gave the corona to his mother but she got through it quite easily. Go figure!
He mentioned another interesting about New York. He said that the hospitals do not test people for corona after 14 days in the hospital because if they did and people came back positive they would have to keep them for another 14 days at the hospital. That would put more pressure on the system and the insurance would have to pay for those extra 14 days or more. So they just send them back home hoping that they are not contagious.
I don't know if this explains why so many people in NY who were self-isolating at home got sick (perhaps people in NY live in buildings with shared vents) but it would certainly explain why so many people in nursing homes became infected because Cuomo forbid the nursing homes to refuse people from hospitals who were not tested for corona. And he forbid that because nobody was tested for corona after 14 days.
In other words, it was a shitshow.
For example, in my country you cannot be sent home if you are not tested after you got better or the results are still positive. And in the beginning you had to be tested twice in 48 hours because the tests are not completely reliable. Later on they changed that to only one test and they would send you home for self-isolation, and you had to be tested again after 14 days to be able to become a free citizen again.
