Good news!! NYC flattening the curve

[DummyVariable]

ICU admissions are now LOWER than before the virus crisis began and 7,000 antibody tests will be available next week says Gov. Cuomo - as NY begins to look beyond its coronavirus 'nightmare' 

[DummyVariable]

• The number of new ICU admissions on Thursday was 17 which is lower than since before the pandemic began 
• The death toll continues to rise but at a slower rate; 777 people died on Thursday, bringing the total to 7,844
• Another 10,575 people tested positive for COVID-19 which brings the total to 170,512 
• Cuomo said on Friday he was 'cautiously optimistic' that New York had 'seen the worst' of the pandemic 
• He is now focusing on getting antibody tests produced on a mass scale to get them to the public
• The state can currently only do 300  a day but he said next week that number will rise to 1,000 and then to 2,000 the week after that 
• By the end of next week, the state should have produced at least 7,000 tests 
• Thousands of antibody tests have already been done privately by businesses and colleges in California and Colorado

New York's ICU admissions fell again on Thursday to lower than they were before the coronavirus crisis began, another indication that the state has hit its peak and is now on the road to restarting the economy with antibody tests, thousands of which will become available next week.

Hospitalizations increased slightly from 200 new admissions on Wednesday to 250 on Thursday but the three-day average is still down. 

The death toll rose to 7,844 - an increase of 777 which is some 20 less than the previous day. The number of infections also rose by 10,575 to 170,512.

All of the signs show that New York is now on the way down from its peak and that the crisis is finally coming to an end. 

Gov. Cuomo said on Friday that the state far exceeded what any of the projections predicted because people were so vigilant about staying home. 

Among the various models he examined in planning for the crisis was one which said 140,000 people would need hospital beds at any given time.

Good news man finally

'Overall, New York is flattening the curve,' he said.  

The next phase will be rolling out an antibody test that should tell if a person has had the virus and recovered from it which will allow people to 'gradually' get back to work. 

The State Department of Health currently has the capacity to do 300 of the tests a day - it is unclear where and how they are being done.

The bulls of New York will wake up soon

Cuomo said that when people do start to go back to work, it will not be done in one fell swoop. 

'It's not going to be, "everybody goes back next Thursday." It's going to be a gradual, phased process reliant on testing of antibodies for diagnostic results and testing on a scale that we have not done before,' he said. 

The current shutdown order will remain in place until April 29, which he announced earlier this week.

Despite the encouraging new data, Cuomo said that people must continue to practice social distancing.

'We hope we have seen the worst. We don't know because the infection rate is purely in our control. You tell me what New Yorkers do today, I will tell you what happens to the infection rate in two or three days.

Looks like they will test people and allow them to work again.
