New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) suggested Monday the state may have flattened the curve of the coronavirus outbreak, but it is too soon to tell.
Deaths related to COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, have stayed flat for two days, he said, while the total number of hospitalizations and intensive care unit admissions are down.
"Those are all good signs and again would suggest a possible flattening of the curve," he said during his daily press conference.

The concept of flattening the curve is reasonable. The level of understanding they have and are applying to this goal is unreasonable.

Pretty big difference for one update.
I wonder if it will be soon time to allow most places open outside of NYC. When you are in places like Watertown, Ogdensburg, Utica, Central Leatherstocking, and elsewhere like that there is going to be little or no point having those sorts of restrictions around for too much longer. And I wonder how things are in Buffalo or Rochester or Syracuse even.
The numbers don’t look too good today for NYC, which is pushing up the national numbers.
Deaths of 599 in NY so far today while yesterday’s total was 594.
figures lie, liars figure.
Dont forget what I think is paradise on earth (at least in the summer)
Lake Placid
Agreed. And elsewhere like Fort Ticonderoga, Malone, etc. Speaking of Lake Placid, I would not mind going there in the midst of winter to snowshoe and take in a few of the brew pubs in the area.
How is his brother. Fredo Juicy Smollett Cuomo? You know, the one with “the virus”. Lol.
I am a reverse damn yankee, I invade in the summer but it is beautiful beyond words.
You can have it in the winter. 8 years of Minnesota winter beat the love of the cold straight out of me.....
The shape of the curve is less important that what happens after you get on it. No symptoms? Symptoms but recovery without hospitalization? Hospitalization? Or death? The data I’ve seen suggest that the first two predominate by far, and that the dead had preexisting conditions.
An estimated additional 180 - 195 deaths per day occurring at home in New York City due to COVID-19 are not being counted in the official figures. “Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don’t have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home. Now only those few who had a test confirmation *before* dying are marked as victims of coronavirus on their death certificate. This almost certainly means we are undercounting the total number of victims of this pandemic,” said Mark Levine, Chair of New York City Council health committee
So NYC’s already way out in front numbers, are actually worse than we know.
NYC alone is a huge chunk of the bad numbers.
So says a Big Government NYC pol.
So you would prefer the band-aid to be ripped off real slow?
I’ll be right over with my duct tape.
