Were in and very hopeful for the future. Thanks for joining us. Gov. Cuomo everybody looks bright and happy. Happy and bursting with love. Today is friday. I hope you have big plans for the weekend, if you have a weekend. Total hospitalizations, down. Good news. 14,200. All of the evidence suggests we are on the downside of the curve and headed down. Hospitalizations is down, net change in intubation is down. They have been down for a while. This is not great news, the number of new people coming into the hospital, new infections, is slightly down, but that is basically a flat line and that is troubling. About 1200, 1300 new infections every day. Number of lives lost is still heartbreaking news, 422. Again, this is at an unimaginable level. It is dropping somewhat but is still devastating news. The question we are watching now is we hit the high point and we are on the way down, how fast does the number come down and how far does that number drop . We have projections again, like we ha
A text with send us your first name, city and state at 202 7488003. Facebook twitter and to post your comments. We will get to your thoughts in a minute. How was your governor doing . According to a New Washington post poll, governors are getting high marks for their responses to the coronavirus outbreak. With 72 saying their governor is doing an excellent or good job. 26 saying the governor is doing a not so good or poor job. Compare that to the federal government, 49 say is doing excellent or good, while 51 give the federal government low marks. President trump gets 44 of excellent and good marks. 54 say the president is not doing a good job in responding. How do you rate your governor . Lets begin with alabama ivey. Nor kay [video] they are all eager to open up. The comment is we are alabama. A challe testing is a challenge for them as well. We cant fully reopen the economy but we are working together and sharing ideas. Some states are opening sooner than others but every governor i
Be a reaction to the weekend. 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 the decline goes and how low the decline goes. When does the hospitalization rate get down to fully manageable number . When does the incomingcase number get down to a manageable number . You see again, overall hospitalization rate is on the decline. Again, yesterday, a little less than we would like to see. 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
Right now and as i mentioned, unless there is a very meaningful material development, in which case we will change plans, tomorrow will be an email, paper release in terms of the overnight numbers and any other news we have to report.
