This will go down even more, Madrid was in a mess also, after a 3/4 weeks lockdown the emergency rooms had one third of the patients they saw before the coronasaga. It seems now people who had been afraid to go to hospital for non corona ailments during the peak of the epidemic are showing up,at least those who didn't die at home, and hospitals get busy again. Still I went to one of the few clinics working with my insurer which are still open today, and it was quiet in the outpatient and testing areas. Third clinic I visit since the beginning of this mess, always in the outpatient area, and all experiences were similar. Most cities in the world have coped just fine with the virus, sometimes without or with just a partial lockdown.
Not sure why NY, Madrid and several cities in northern Italy got hit so hard. I would have voted for no lockdown in Madrid anyway, now this mess looks like never ending. Whole populations wasting their life, harming their physical, economic and mental health to extend the lives of a few mostly older folks.
Madrid got a heavily used Tube/Subway system like London and NYC ??
