New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued an emergency order Monday directing hospitals to increase their capacity by 50% as coronavirus cases across the state surged 38% overnight to 20,875.
New York is the hardest-hit state in the country, ahead of New Jersey, California and Washington state, Cuomo said. New York City, alone, accounts for 12,305 confirmed infections, he said.
Cuomo estimated up to 80% of the state’s more than 19.4 million residents will get the coronavirus. Last week, Cuomo estimated there are likely “tens of thousands” of COVID-19 cases in the state among residents who didn’t know they had it.
New York and New Jersey are seeing coronavirus attack rates at least five times higher than other parts of the country, a U.S. official in charge of the White House’s pandemic response efforts said Monday.
“The New York metro area of New Jersey, New York City, and parts of Long Island have an attack rate close to one in 1,000,” Dr. Deborah Birx, a physician and the White House coronavirus response coordinator, said at a press briefing Monday evening. The attack rate is the percentage of a population that gets the disease.

High density...shut hi density places down, quarantine geezers and immune compromised, then we’ll see numbers drop.. ..
Little Italy?
Getting tested and having it is not the same as numbers in an ICU.
I can’t wait for the whole state to be tested. The death rate will be tiny.
So the hospitals will use hallways as sick rooms???
Total cases: 33,404
Total deaths: 400
Jurisdictions reporting cases: 54 (50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and US Virgin Islands)
* Data include both confirmed and presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 reported to CDC or tested at CDC since January 21, 2020, with the exception of testing results for persons repatriated to the United States from Wuhan, China and Japan. State and local public health departments are now testing and publicly reporting their cases. In the event of a discrepancy between CDC cases and cases reported by state and local public health officials, data reported by states should be considered the most up to date.

Why do I feel this country has been hoodwinked?
And this Co-19 was just a way to crash our economy....
I know this is not over....but 400 deaths due to the Corona?
I'd guess more people get murdered in Detroit and Chicago.....in the time the CDC has been measuring..this COVID-19
Cuomo - “Send More Money!”
Leftists want to pack us into cities like NYC and force us onto subways.
Viva la Suburbia!
Back to H1n1: 60 MILLION Americans infected, 300,000 hospitalized, 15,000 deaths. I mean, what the heck? Why are we destroying our economy when we aren’t anywhere close to those numbers (that no one even remembers b/c BHO was President!)
High Density living has a price.
Little Italy part of Manhattan has been taken over by chinese.
I’m guessing pharaoh believed his rule had nothing to do with it.
cases didn’t “surge”, they were simply already-existing cases detected by increasing testing ... “increasing cases” will continue to grow rapidly as increased testing uncovers more and more pre-existing cases ...
Yeah but this type of thing will be used by the media to suggest the virus is spreading out of control and that we need MORE restrictions and for a longer time.
They have put the hurt on too many people.....and have attempted to control us.
I'm tired of it...The MSM is like what Stalin or Hitler or whoever said...Control the media and you control the people.
They were right then...and they are right now.
