Overall, we have 130,000 people who tested positive. To 16,000 people in our Hospital System, 13,000 people have been discharged. Number of deaths are up once again. Number of people we lost, number 4758, which is up from 159, but which is effectively flat for two days.

But hopefully it was a sunday anomaly, because of the weekend. Intubations is down. Number of new cases still 1000 new covid cases every day, puts it in perspective. Down a tad from where it was, but again, these weekend numbers sometimes are a little strange. Number of lives lost 337. , still tragically high. But on the decline, if you look at it over the past few days, not that that gives any solace to 337 families who are suffering today. On testing, this has been a big topic, increasing testing. It ....

Only 18 days since everything closed down. 39 days since the first covid case in new york. It feels like a lifetime. Firsts since we have the covid case in the united states. 80 days. Lifechanginge, 80 days, but thats what it has been. When we started this situation that we are still in the midst of, before people get march,ent, the end of the White House Task force was still talking about 1. 5 million to 2. 2 million deaths, ok . Their best Case Scenario with mitigation efforts was 140,000 to 240,000 deaths in the united states, which is breathtaking. For new york, there were a number of models that were put up that we are following. Wasmost frightening Columbia University that said we could hav ....
