Governor cuomo says 1100 new patients came to the hospital and many outside new york city. Whats the latest of where you are . Reporter the Javits Center is serving as an operation center. We see deputy mayors going in and folks from the senior office. A lot is going on. Theyre trying to figure out how to take some noncovid patients, moving them into the city. Thats a big under taking that the city is trying to do and go through. The other thing, the number of people that are going into hospitals continue to rise and of course one of the most important numbers that the governor spoke about just a little while ago was close to 3400 people are being treated in intensive care units across the city and the state.

There is a reason that wall street provided 15 million just in the last reporting period to the secretarys super pac. Now, the secretary says it doesnt influence her. Well, thats what every politician says who gets money from special interests.
