The rise in new cases is due to the protests, which consists of younger and generally healthier people. They aren't going to die, and they aren't going to be sent to nursing homes (we hope).

Why would you hope they won't? "Nursing" homes mean medical care, and with hospitals paralyzed by the crushing patient load of the horrifying apocalyptic global pandemic that threatens every human on Earth it's the most logical place to send them. Right? Right? The fact that a nursing home's residents will die in vast numbers as a result is somewhat sad, but what's a governor to do? --- Andrew Cuomo
