Reporter asks you are using only 16,000 beds, and you said you would need at least 110,000. As Tucker discussed Friday night, hospitalization rates nationwide are only about 15-20% of what the models predicted.

OK, what was Gov. Cuomo’s response to this obviously reasonable question?
IF the figures cited by this reporter are incorrect, Cuomo should be telling him he’s wrong and citing his own sources.
IF the figures cited by this reporter are incorrect, the only reasonable answer from Cuomo would have to be: “Better be ridiculously safe than sorry.” ( in other words, we are expecting 7 times more beds than your current figures in the future ).
If he can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, he’ll baffle ‘em with bullsh.
I still believe I had the flu. But articles like that make me wonder.
I don’t know where you got your data, but I live in Rochester NY and have been plotting the state and county (Monroe) for several days using the Johns Hopkins data. Our county has 3498 cases and 83 deaths with a death rate of 2.37 percent. Our “total cases” plot looks like a mini version of the state and has not yet flattened.
Could be a lagging indicator if cases are indeed down. Let's hope so.
I work in NYC and haven't been there since 3/13. Though I'm getting my work done from home, I can't wait to get back to the office and a normal routine!
Models for viruses are awful at predication. Always and everywhere.
“terminally deceitful people.”
He wants to milk it for more money from the US government and for his run for President.
Somehow this getting things to the places where they are most needed was not ok for President Trump to say about the federal stockpile.
Maybe Cuomo is pretty sure that all the stuff he has brought to NYC won't be needed there. If they are only using 16,000 of the 140,000 then 110,000 beds that they thought would be needed, wouldn't that have a proportional lessening of the need for PPE?
We shall see.
he says and puts emphasis on “I hope..”.then mentions that the early model showed blah,blah,blah
No mention of remodeling...
So lets go outside and play!
While I appreciate Cuomos optimism regarding the light at end of tunnel, he still needs to be careful what he tells people with cabin fever imo.
From the very start, when Cuomo was calling for a huge number of ventilators, I thought something was up. I thought he was laying a baseline to blame Trump later when the supply didn't meet demand. Then, I found out about the meeting and the state govt. decision to "invest" in trendy solar energy, and not prepare for a pandemic, disregarding the warnings from the meeting.
I am not at all impressed with either Cuomo. They are dense and slimy.
The virus has had plenty to time to migrate all over the country....why is upstate NY different ? It’s not. In fact, it’s more susceptible because of proximity.
The numbers are indeed a fraud. bashing device. Navy mercy ships remain empty because predictions were wrong, which could mean panic over ventilators was overblown too.
Models were wrong, inflated to warn of worst case, but quickly became a convenient DjT-bashing device.
Yep. No doubt! A typical DemoncRATic thieving liar!
Can lying scumbag governors be lynched in NY?
Prudent leaders also balance health risk vs. economic catastrophe...thus far we are failing that test. I recognize it is based on a moving target, but its time to start re-evaluating this in some, if not most areas.
The numbers are indeed a fraud. bashing device. Navy mercy ships remain empty because predictions were wrong, which could mean panic over ventilators was overblown too.
Cuomo doesn’t care about new yorkers all he cared about was bashing the president because the president wasn’t going to give 50 ,000 ventilators that he doesn’t even need.
He hasn’t even used up the ones he has on hand yet
So, where do you live? On the Moon? Pluto? Zaire? Tampa? San Francisco? Duluth?
