With 16 new and 105 total cases of coronavirus now reported in New York state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo called upon the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to authorize the use of private labs to do automated testing for the virus on Sunday.
"We don't have the testing capacity we need," Cuomo said. "The testing capacity is now more than the state lab can handle. Let us bring in private labs to do some of the testing."
As of Sunday morning, Cuomo said the total number of confirmed cases jumped to 105, up from 89 on Saturday evening and from 44 on Friday: The surge is tied to a community in New Rochelle in Westchester County. The current breakdown by region:
Westchester 82
New York City 12
Nassau 5
Rockland 2
Saratoga 2
Suffolk 1
Ulster 1
Allowing other commercial laboratories to test for the virus would quicken the testing process. The machines responsible for automated testing at private labs are capable of handling 120 samples at a time, Cuomo said.
The CDC has allowed state labs, which in New York is the Wadsworth Laboratory in Albany, to run testing for the coronavirus. However, Cuomo said on Sunday that the state labs cannot keep up.
By allowing private labs to run tests, around 1,000 people could be tested per day, Cuomo said.

1,000 a day for 8 million people?
Amazingly for Coumo it’s a good idea. Broken clock effect.
Remember, they are probably only going to be testing those with symptoms and those in contact with the symptomatic persons. Not every single person. Still can add up pretty quickly for sure.
8 mil people, testing 1,000 a day, would take 21 years (8 mil divided by 1,000 = 8,000 days divided by 365 days a year = 21+ years) to test all 8 million - New York State would be zombieland LOL - oh, I forgot, NY is zombie land. /s

**************************************
What ABSOLUTE BULLCRAP! LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics don’t do business in New York? Last I heard was that THEY were private labs and Trump’s task force had already authorized them to do tests. And they are ready & raring to go! Cuomo, like ALL DemocRATS, is a pathetic grandstander always eager to take credit for the accomplishments of others.

Good grief. Will these hysteria ever stop?
As long as the MSM thinks this hurts Trump and Wall Street the hype will continue.
Thanks for doing the math!
Uh-
huh.
...and the thousands of neurotic, psycho, rich, hypochondriac New Yorkers,
who demand that they must be tested.
Hm...
Mayor Spano of Yonkers in Westchester demands NYC stop dumping homeless in their area.
Corona viruses originated in Chinese salmon because it appears to be swimming up the Hudson River
When a Democrat is President...
A socialist calling for Private Industry to help! That’s priceless!
Post a thread when it reaches Hillary’s block.

- * unless noted otherwise, these figures are EOD 03/07.
These numbers include Mainland China and All Others globally
This format allows you to see trends. I'll continue to use it.
Today's figures will not appear here, because we are not at the
end of the day yet, and all other figures are EOD figures.
Declared Cases

03/03 93,160 3,198 50,690 53,888 39,272
03/04 95,425 3,286 53,399 56,685 38,740
03/05 98,387 3,383 55,441 58,824 39,563

03/07 106,165 3,977 59,965 63,559 42,606
It's not that easy to spot the changes in daily growth.03/03: 2,223 03/04: 2,265 03/05: 2,962 03/06: 3,801 03/07: 3,977That's a rather prounounced growth rate. These are just the declared cases
The last column there shows the numbers of active cases. You will note how
they were dropping, then started increasing again. Here are the last five days
drop & then growth numbers.
03/03: -494 03/04: -532 03/05: 823 03/06: 1,745 03/07: 1,298Resolved cases are still helping to soften the massive numbers of new cases
We are seeing record breaking day to day large numbers. We had one spell where
the cases were larger for a day or two, but those were special circumstance
numbers. There was a reclassification in China, that saw over 15,000 cases
dumped into the list on one day. The following days was also abnormally high
Other than those two days, we've not see days where we approached 4,000 new
cases per day. As of 19:33 today, we are already at 3,869 cases.
As predicted, the mortality rate that went as low as 5.65% on the 27th, has now
begun to climb again. As of 19:33 it is running at 5.81%, but later tonight that
may be adjusted a bit, up or down. Generally this time of the day it's down
but things are too hectic to predict.
As predicted, the numbers of active cases of COVID-19 outside China, became larger
than the active cases inside China. At 19:03 the numbers of cases outside China
make up 56.99% of all cases globally. At that time there were 44,292 active
cases.
Globally we have held our own with regard to how many cases have been resolved.
The figure stands at 59,802%. I expected to see that recede more. We are still
very close to seeing 60% of all global cases declared resolved.
These numbers address the cases outside of Mainland China.
I will provide the same format for the numbers outside Mainland China.
Declared Cases

03/03 12,890 217 837 1,054 11,836
03/04 15,015 279 1,222 1,501 13,514
03/05 17,832 341 1,685 2,026 15,806
03/06 21,537 421 1,986 2,407 19,130
03/07 25,470 497 2,871 3,368 22,102
As you can see, these numbers can easily double or more every five days. As newYou can study the progression of any category you like.
Lets talk about the United States for a minute. I addressed the issue of the
U. S. catching fire several days ago. There was reason for concern, because two
back to back days saw 46.54 & 45.06 growth. That has dropped back to around
26-28%, but that isn't good either, to be honest. Lets hope things cool off.
The current mortality rate of deceased / deceased + recovered is too high to
take much meaning from. I've seen 14-17% figures, but those are not even in
the same ball park as what the final rate will be.
You can still review them if you access my database. That database has full
figures up until the last report at 19:33 this evening.
There are now 109 nations declaring cases within their borders. 1+
Three nations of the 109 nations or entities outside of Mainland China still
account for over 73% of all active cases outside China at this time. They
are slipping a little, but there is a lot of competition out there. Still
The next tier goes down to the 1,000 - 1,200 level. Those were the EOD
figures for 03/07.
7,134 28.01% South Korea
5,883 22.04% Italy
5,823 23.10% Iran
73.15% of all cases ourside of China...
These are clearly three break-out naitons.
I have a new section that addresses only the cases in the United States.
I have a new metric that explains how many people there are to one case in
each of these entities: Globally, Mainland China, Outside China, and inside
the United States. There is one person in every so many people in each of these entities.
Globally : 175,665 Mainland China: 77,852 Outside China : 308,248 The U. S. A. : 637,838All data below sourced from Johns Hopkins University: LINK
I have been downloading three to five reports per day since 01/27. I have then
worked up numbers that should give a very good representation of numbers that have
been provided to the public via that site.
In my spreadsheet linked below, you'll find global numbers including China. You will
find a separate section addressing just the Outside China figures. Then there is now
also a section with just the United States stats in there. There are also a lot of
special stats broken out for you to browse. The history of 109 nations and their
from day one of their reporting.
You're welcome to it.
COVID-19 Spreadsheet using JHU data
I'd like to apologize to those who may have been accessing my XLS version.
Due to the numbers of nations I am now tracking, the XLS version cannot support
the width of the file I have created. I can no longer provide it without major work.
If anyone wants that version, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
thanks.
the next 2 weeks will tell the story?
Thanks for putting this together!

cuomo is a lying piece of garbage ... LabCorp has been performing the test since last thursday and Quest will be performing it starting tomorrow:
