He said the president of the United States calls the shots as you were saying a few moments ago. On a Conference Call with the governors he said you are calling the shots. The guidelines i am going to run through are that, guidelines to the governors who will make the decisions on the ground in their respective states. First, wolf, to make it to phase one you have to meet certain gating criteria. If you make it into phase one, this is what will happen in your state. Vulnerable individuals will shelter in place. In terms of the workplace, people continue to telework and return to work in phases. Social gatherings not larger than ten people. If you are in a state that is phase one, you can start to gather in small groups, but not larger than ten people. In phase one states, big venues, restaurants, gyms, they could open with strict social distant protocols, but bars would remain closed. Bars where young people would be gathering in tight limits. If you move to phase two, vulnerable indiv
Phase one of the Antibody Testing program suggests that as many as 2. 7 million new yorkers might have already been infected. But the state current confirmed case count is just under 270,000. 13 tested positive for having the antibody. They had the virus. They developed antibodies and they are now quote on quote recovered. New york death toll of around 19,000 is almost certainly also too low. That number is going to go up. Those deaths are only hospitalizations or nursing home deaths. That doesnt have what are called at home deaths. A higher infection rate could new york is not opening up. Not yet. We need to see how its playing out in each community and have the ability to test and protect citizens before we think about opening up. We absolutely need to significantly ramp up im not overly confident right now at all. Where ever, whenever with open, cases are likely rise. Were never going to dom up with something a zero probability or possibility that youll spread the virus. What we wan
That also ughs some people out. But i like to fish. I dont mind it. That said, if i had to pick a few things that i would choose to avoid if i could because they made me feel ech, i would pick, number one, eels. They just mmmm. Not going to do it. Number two, spiders. Basically they just ugh me out. Not as bad as when i was a little kid, but still given the option, spiders, no thank you. I also dont like needles. When i get blood drawn for anything at the doctors office, i always get a little woozy, i have to warn them im going to turn green. But today i learned something. I watched something that for the first time in my whole adult life made me feel less woozy, less bad about needles. Because today i learned that in modern med schools and Nursing Schools when they teach student doctors and student nurses how to draw blood they use a fake arm. Thats not like a wedge of bologna or some unfired pottery. Thats im sure it has a technical term. Im going to call it here an arm simulator. It
Up his supporters to lash out against some of these social distancing measures just minutes after a fox news report. The president again tweeting. Liberate minnesota, liberate michigan and liberate virginia. No surprise these are democratic states. He said social distancing has been a tough process for some people. The president has also tweeted at new york governor comeau saying he should spend more time doing and less time complaining. Get out there the president says in one tweet, and get the job done. Govern govern governor comeau was holding a press conference and afterwards this is what he had to say. First of all, if hes watching tv, maybe he should get up and go to work. Lets keep politics out of this and personal ego because its about people and our job. What am i supposed to do, send a bouquet of flowers . The president s tweet also point to his own shortcomings. The president insists the states have to step up their testing. Last month he said americans who needed a test cou
Many, but fears that we would see up to 240 maybe 250,000 of them, in the earliest days fears that it could go into the millions and the latest on this and its sort of a loosest it matt is that it will be around 60,000 and theres no way of knowing for sure, but some of the more alarming statistics we heard maybe thanks to all of these Safety Measures taking place have at least improved the odds and rather dramatically and well also update you on some alarmingly in a good way improving numbers on hospitalizations. Remember, deaths sadly are a lagging indicator. Hospitalizations are more forwardlooking, and they are going down, in new york, in new jersey, in michigan, in minnesota, and that is a trend that could be the economys friend, and pave the way to easing up on the stayathome provisions well get the latest from the governor of connecticut , and the governor of mississippi, a democrat and a republican, each facing his own battles in a state where residents also want to get some cla
