Transcripts For CSPAN New York Gov. Cuomo Holds Coronavirus Briefing 20240713

Boyfriend is part of the premises. Monday. This is the total hospitalization rate in which you see is basically flat. Flat is not great. A reaction toe the weekend, sunday discharges may be down. But we have the same question, how fast and how steady decline. We dont want to see flat. We want to see an increase in decline. We want to see how fast that the klan goes and how lthe decline goes and how low the decline goes. When does the hospitalization rate it down to a truly manageable number . When does the incomingcase number get down to a manageable number . You see again, overall hospitalization rate is on the decline. Yesterday, a little less than we would like to see. Hopefully it was a sunday anomaly, because of the weekend. Ubations is int down. Day,new covid cases every puts it in perspective. Down a tad from where it was, but these weekend numbers are sometimes a little strange. Number of lives lost, 337. Still tragically high. If you lookecline, at it over the past few days, not that that gives any solace to 337 families who are suffering today. Bigesting, this has been a topics from increasing testing.

When we tested five days ago come it was 13 point hundred 13. 9 13. 9. Point, 14. 9, one statistically in the margin of error. I would like to see that margin go the other way. Men are still more likely to have the virus than women, by a couple of points, whatever that speculate. Cannot to these arei care not to speculate. These are the regional numbers in broad strokes. Long island, 14. New york city is up a couple of points. Westchester, rockland, up a couple of points. The rest of the state is basically flat. The infection rate by region. People hear new york and they think new york city. Yes, we have new york city. We also have upstate new york, north country, which is predominantly rural or suburban. And you see different situations across this state. This is not a homogenous state the mohawk valley, 2. 6 . North country, 1. 2 . Hudson valley, 10 , but that has westchester and rockland in it. Fingerlike some western new york, 7. 1 to western york is the height point of the state. Hudson valley has westchester and rockland.
