The death toll in New York State reached 3,565 on Saturday, an increase of 630 from the previous day.

RIGHT NOW

Governor Cuomo said 85,000 people have volunteered to helping New York fight the coronavirus and that 22,000 of them are from out of state.


<snip> During his daily briefing in Albany, Governor Cuomo tried to encourage New Yorkers not to lose hope even as he said he expected the numbers of those infected and dying from the disease to continue to surge.

“This is a painful, disorienting experience,” he said. “But we find our best self, our strongest self — this day will end. We will get through it, we will get to the other side of the mountain. But we have to do what we have to do between now and then.”

Deaths in New York State: 3,565, up from 2,935 on Friday morning.

Confirmed cases: 113,704, up from 102,863.

Thank you Oregon! hearts

Oregon sending ventilators to New York

Cuomo described Oregon’s kind gesture as “astonishing and unexpected.”

 

[JerseyGirl]

Shame on him.

Him? He said the State is sued all the time.

It’s do or die. NYC won’t have enough ventilators by tomorrow and you want to shame him for that?

I am sure hospitals all over rural upstate New York have no need for a huge supply of ventilators for a few days.

What happens when they are urgently needed where they were taken from and they are in use in NY?

Are you speaking of Oregon? Both of the govenors made INFORMED decisions on the transfer. It's intuitively obvious that other places are lagging behind.

New York needs more ventilators, and we are answering their call for help. We'll be sending 140 ventilators to help NY because Oregon is in a better position right now. We must do all that we can to help those on the front lines of this response.

Oregon doesn't have everything we need to fight COVID-19 — we need more PPE and testing — but we can help today with ventilators. We are all in this together.

Both dr. Brixks and Mike Pence praised her for doing such just now on today's presser. Pence said how inspired he was. They both said it was fabulous that she made the decision to share with others because they knew that they did not need it at the time.

Cuomo is in triage mode. Redistribution to the neediest places is common sense. Actual urgent needs obviously outweigh potential future shortages. JMO.

I hope other states (like Oregon) help out where they can, if they are a few weeks behind the curve. The difference will be measured literally in lives saved.

It's still the United States, not "Fend for yourselves" states, right?

Yes and it wasn't just based on some impulse of kindness. It was very kind, but also rational. As I hope everyone will be, otherwise kindness just becomes another element of chaos.

California will surely be sharing the tech behind our new antibody test (NY Research facilities may be over run by more pressing concerns right now). That's the key to protecting front line workers.

Sort of. No state in this union should be ignoring projections and just giving things away. It's a little surprising that Oregon (with the lowest number of hospital beds per capita in the lower 48 - or at least close to it) would be optimistic about its own state of supply. It's going to be a long time before New York can give back, so hopefully other states will help Oregon if need be.

Many states are acquiring supplies such that they are approaching the ability to deal with the peak demand, at which point, yes, they should share. Sending things by plane or train or truck across the country is not a completely risk-free, certain thing - so if a particular place is going to have 60 deaths per day in two weeks and only has supplies for 30 patients per day, it needs to slow its roll and make sure everything is in place...at home.

By early May, New York's terrible crisis will have died down to almost no corona virus (while some states are still ramping up). I hope the ventilators they have are sterilized properly and sent back out to the other 49 and I hope Cuomo continues to do daily press conferences about these issues once NY is down to almost no CV per day.

Cuomo said he would deliver the ventilators back to any state that offers them to New York at this time. He also offered his expertise and train medical personnel in that state.

He currently has a team of medical personnel who volunteered from all over the nation. They, too, will learn about the virus and go back to their states with this knowledge and continue the fight.

Well, maybe. Having too few resources for the viral curve creates another New York. May not be possible to get back out from the patient load without higher-then-otherwise casualties.

Experts consider how long the coronavirus crisis will last — and how we'll get out of it

These are medical, not political matters, but very kind of Oregon in any case. Oregon does have space for social distancing that many of us can only dream of.

Yet, that's just it. They are looking at the projections. Take a peek at the below links.

Using Yesterday's Numbers

Gov'mt projection for US deaths/ Actual
1360(range of 1133-1555)/1331

Gov'mt projection for New York deaths / Actual
607(range of 503-684)/630

Gov'mt projection for Oregon deaths / Actual
3(range of 3-4)/4

This one tracks daily numbers (hit "yesterday" tab)
United States Coronavirus: 311,637 Cases and 8,454 Deaths - Worldometer

This is the model the US gov'mt is using (was supposed to be updated yesterday, but has not been updated since April 1st)
IHME | COVID-19 Projections

Also, on the second link, do the Oregon pull down of when they peak (May 2nd), and how much capacity they have. They will never overwhelm their capacity at all (even for ICU beds) in the projections. Their projected peak for deaths per day in May is 11(2-22 range)

Oregon received 140 ventilators from the Strategic National Stockpile on March 27. That’s the full amount Gov. Brown requested from the federal government a week earlier. After those ventilators have been shipped out to New York, Oregon will have 762 ventilators available.

“New York needs more ventilators, and we are answering their call for help,” Gov. Kate Brown wrote. “We’ll be sending 140 ventilators to help NY because Oregon is in a better position right now. We must do all that we can to help those on the front lines of this response.”

“We are so grateful to @OregonGovBrown and the people of Oregon,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo tweeted. “On behalf of the people of NY, I thank you and rest assured that NY will repay the favor when Oregon needs it.”

New York is also receiving 1,100 ventilators from China as a gift.

First responders get fast-lane service at some grocery stores

In an effort to support those on the front lines, some grocery stores in New York are creating "express lanes" for first responders.

PSK Market, Foodtown and Pathmark stores have already established the special first-responder lanes and announced they will hand out $100,000 in gift cards to people who work in hospitals.

"After a 12-hour shift, we should get them through the aisles, and let them get what they need," said Eric Adams, the Brooklyn borough president who is a former police officer.

Adams said he hopes the first-responder supermarket "express lanes" will catch on across the state and nation.

"All first responders should simply be brought to the front of the line."

Coronavirus death rate for New Orleans is double that of New York City

New Orleans has emerged as one of the country’s coronavirus hotspots, with a death rate per-capita double that of New York City.

Gary Wagner, an economics professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, said the parish of Orleans, which encompasses the Big Easy, saw a coronavirus death rate of 37.93 per 100,000 people as of Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Meanwhile, the death rate for the Big Apple was 18.86 per 100,000 people, the outlet reported.
