liattlefish: How do they define a "new case"? Does a "new case" include someone who tests positive for COVID-19 but who otherwise seems healthy? Does 10K mean 10K news hospitalizations State-wide? An aside: I didn't like Gov. Cuomo's comment that the Governor of Oregon's sending the State 200 (2000?) ventilators is both "nice" (or "kind) AND "smart", because it will help in stopping the spread to other States. He should have said it was "nice/kind" and let it go at that. To me, that was the statement of a street-wise smart Alec. Didn't like it.

Don't know, it may just be when the numbers come out, but I'm not sure. But I think his whole point is that New York appears to be far worse than anyplace else, and even there it is not overwhelming the hospital system as these apocalyptic models projected.

Here's Florida (read down the comments where RN and epidemiologist for Fl Dept of Health said they're being sent home):

And here’s updated Florida data (remember, Florida just went on a relatively loose lockdown, no way it could be having an impact yet): 2000 FEWER patients and 200 FEWER ICU patients than yesterday. You read that right. Florida hospitals are emptier today. pic.twitter.com/agK7DntO4g

And Oregon:

Updated Oregon report from Friday. There is a longer discussion to be had about what the lockdowns are or are not doing, but the raw data is stunning: overall ER visits and COVID ER visits are plunging statewide. This is the opposite of a surge. The hospitals are emptying. pic.twitter.com/RCWCPu6bSx
