It's been a while since this was posted: COVID-19: Data - NYC Health
From the Hotspot, the Focus of COVID-19 in the US, the Epicenter of the Epidemic.
Trying to puzzle out if the lock down, business closures, and masks significantly helped NYC.
NYC lock down and business closure happened on Mar 20. That date is on the left tail of the above data.
NYC required masks in public about a month later, on Apr 15. That date is on the right tail of the above data.
It's not clear to me from the data that those two events constrained the cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. The growths and declines in the data appear to be independent of those events. If anything, one can call out a jump in hospitalizations right after Mar 20, as well as a steeper rise in deaths. Though I admit that's reachining.
I know many here will say that I am a sheep... But if it takes me wearing a mask for my gym to open, I'll relent and wear a damn mask....... (in FLA)
You're a good sheep. But I want a video of a heavy set of 5 squats in a mask.
The mean asymptomatic incubation period was something like 5.5 days with the upper 70% bound at 11 days. The shutdown started on the 22nd,but was announced on the 20th. Deaths, Hospitalizations and Cases all have around a week in between on the curves.
In other words... not much, at all, happened to the curve based on the lockdowns. Even in NYC. (Because it was already everywhere)
