NY Coronavirus Update, Cuomo: ” the Numbers are Coming Down”

 

  • Mr. Cuomo said that 507 more people had died in the state, bringing the total killed by the virus to 13,869 on Sunday. Just six days ago, the number of dead reported was close to 800, but it has not exceeded 650 since April 14.

  • Thirty-three of those 507 died in nursing homes, Mr. Cuomo said. He emphasized that deaths in nursing homes remained a top concern for the state.

  • The number of total hospitalizations for the virus was 16,213, down from 16,967 the previous day.

  • At his daily press conference, the governor reported that 16,000 New Yorkers are currently hospitalized for coronavirus – a decline from recent weeks. On Saturday, 1,300 people still checked into New York state hospitals and tested positive for coronavirus. The state still reported 507 deaths on Saturday. But the Governor noted that there were still many positive signs that the state had passed its plateau of cases, Crain’s summarized
  • Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York said Sunday that data indicated that New York was “past the high point” of the coronavirus outbreak.
  • “If this trend holds, we are past the high point, and all indications at this point are that we are on a descent,” he said, adding, “We are on the other side of the plateau and the numbers are coming down.”
  • “Don’t get cocky,” he said. “Don’t get arrogant. This virus has been ahead of us every step of the way. This is only halftime in this entire situation.”
  • “The president is right when he gets up there and says the models had many more people dying,” Cuomo says of the statewide efforts that kept infections and deaths far below the CDC’s mid-March estimates of twice the nation’s hospital capacity. “This is a great success story … [but] don’t go backwards
  • Cuomo announces a plan for an “aggressive” statewide antibody testing program, saying they will be able to sample thousands of people in the coming weeks and promising the data will provide “the first true snapshot of what we’re truly dealing with”.
  • “That will tell us for the first time, what percent of the population has actually had the coronavirus,” he says. “Any plan that is going to start to reopen the economy has to be based on data, which means it has to be based on testing.
