  • ARE.

  • AND WE'RE EXPERIENCING.

  • AS YOU CAN SEE THE INCREASE ON

  • THE TRAJECTORY CASES CONTINUES

  • TO CLIMB, 7681.

  • A COUPLE OF UPDATES I WOULD LIKE

  • TO MAKE TO THE LOCAL HEALTH

  • PROVIDERS.

  • WE WANT TO ANTICIPATE THIS

  • SITUATION.

  • WE TALKED YESTERDAY ABOUT

  • PLANNING FORWARD AND GETTING

  • BEHIND THIS VIRUS FROM DAY ONE

  • RATHER THAN BEING REACTIVE, BE

  • PROACTIVE, GET AHEAD OF IT.

  • LOCAL HEALTH PROVIDERS SHOULD BE

  • WATCHING WHAT'S GOING ON IN

  • DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE STATE AND

  • ANTICIPATING WHAT'S GOING TO

  • HAPPEN.

  • THIS IS GOING TO BE A PHENOMENON

  • OF A ROLLING APEX.

  • WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE APEX,

  • THE TOP OF THE CURVE.

  • BUT THE TOP OF THE CURVE WILL

  • OCCUR AT DIFFERENT TIMES IN

  • DIFFERENT PLACES.

  • RIGHT?

  • THE CURVE IS A FUNCTION OF THE

  • RATE OF SPREAD, THE RATE OF

  • DENSITY AND WHEN IT STARTED.

  • SO YOU'LL SEE DIFFERENT CURVES.

  • YOU SEE IT ALL ACROSS THE

  • COUNTRY.

  • IT STARTED IN WASHINGTON, THE

  • STATE OF WASHINGTON.

  • NOW YOU SEE NEW YORK, YOU SEE

  • CHICAGO, YOU SEE NEW ORLEANS.

  • YOU SEE PARTS OF CALIFORNIA.

  • SO, THAT ROLLING APEX IS

  • HAPPENING ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

  • THAT ROLLING APEX IS ALSO GOING

  • TO BE HAPPENING ACROSS THE STATE

  • OF NEW YORK.

  • THE CURRENT PROJECTIONS ALL SAY

  • NEW YORK CITY WILL FACE THE

  • FIRST HIGH WATER MARK IF YOU

  • WILL, HIGH TIDE MARK, THE HIGH

  • TIDE OF THE CURVE.

  • BUT THEN YOU'LL SEE WEST

  • CHESTER, YOU'LL SEE LONG ISLAND

  • ON A DELAY WITH THEIR CURVE

  • HITTING A NEW HEIGHT.

  • MOD PROJECT -- MODEL PROJECTORS

  • ARE NOT SURE WHETHER IT'S LONG

  • ISLAND FIRST, SOME SUGGEST WEST

  • CHESTER YOU REMEMBER THAT

  • CLUSTERING AT NEW ROCHELLE.

  • THEN UPSTATE NEW YORK.

  • WE EXPECT A CURVE IN UPSTATE NEW

  • YORK ALSO.

  • IT MAY NOT BE AS HIGH,

  • OBVIOUSLY, AS NEW YORK CITY,

  • WEST CHESTER AND LONG ISLAND,

  • BUT THERE WILL BE A CURVE.

  • SO IF YOU ARE NOT IN A HIGHLY

  • AFFECTED HEALTH AREA NOW, THAT

  • DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE NOT GOING

  • TO HAVE A REAL SITUATION TO DEAL

  • WITH.

  • BECAUSE THESE NUMBERS ARE JUST

  • GOING TO CONTINUE TO GO UP ALL

  • ACROSS THE STATE.

  • SO FOR LOCAL HEALTH SYSTEM, THIS

  • IS A NEW CHALLENGE.

  • MOST HEALTH SYSTEM VERSUS PUBLIC

  • HOSPITALS AND THEN THEY HAVE

  • PRIVATE HOSPITALS OR VOLUNTEER,

  • VOLUNTARY HOSPITALS.

  • AND THEY BASICALLY EXIST ON A

  • DAY-TO-DAY BASIS AS TWO

  • DIFFERENT SYSTEMS.

  • SO YOU WILL HAVE PUBLIC

  • HOSPITALS AND THEN YOU HAVE THE

  • PRIVATE HOSPITAL SYSTEM.

  • AND FOR ALL INTENTS AND

  • PURPOSES, IN NORMAL OPERATING

  • PROCEDURES, THEY OPERATE AS TWO

  • SYSTEMS, THERE'S VERY LITTLE

  • INTERACTION.

  • THERE IS ALSO VERY LITTLE

  • INTERACTION AMONG INDIVIDUAL

  • HOSPITALS SOMETIMES EVEN WITHIN

  • THEIR OWN SYSTEM.

  • SO YOU HAVE PUBLIC HOSPITALS

  • THAT ARE A PART OF A PUBLIC

  • HOSPITAL SYSTEM, BUT EACH

  • HOSPITAL BASICALLY OPERATES ON

  • ITS OWN.

  • RIGHT.

  • HAS ITS OWN IDENTITY.

  • CERTAINLY TRUE ON THE PRIVATE

  • SIDE, WHERE YOU HAVE INDIVIDUAL

  • HOSPITALS AND THEY OPERATE ON

  • THEIR OWN.

  • WE HAVE TO CHANGE THAT

  • MENTALITY.

  • AND WE HAVE TO CHANGE THAT

  • MENTALITY QUICKLY.

  • NO HOSPITAL IS AN ISLAND.

  • NO HOSPITAL IN THIS SITUATION

  • CAN EXIST UNTO THEMSELVES.

  • WE REALLY HAVE TO HAVE A NEW

  • MENTALITY, A NEW CULTURE OF

  • HOSPITALS WORKING WITH ONE

  • ANOTHER BOTH WITHIN THE PUBLIC

  • SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE PRIVATE

  • SYSTEM AND WE NEED TO THINK

  • ABOUT THE PUBLIC SYSTEM WORKING

  • WITH THE PRIVATE SYSTEM IN A WAY

  • THEY NEVER HAVE BEFORE.

  • THERE IS AN ARTIFICIAL WALL

  • ALMOST BETWEEN THOSE TWO SYSTEMS

  • NOW.

  • THAT WALL HAS TO COME DOWN.

  • THAT THEORY HAS TO COME DOWN.

  • THIS IS GOING TO BE ALL HANDS ON

  • DECK.

  • THIS IS EVERYBODY HELPING

  • EVERYONE ELSE.

  • ONE HOSPITAL GETS OVERWHELMED.

  • THE OTHER HOSPITALS HAVE TO FLEX

  • TO HELP THAT HOSPITAL AND

  • VICE-VERSA.

  • WE HAVE EMHURST -- ELMHURST

  • HOSPITAL IN NEW YORK UNDER

  • STRESS.

  • IT'S HIGH.

  • WHEN THE NUMBER OF CASES IS

  • HIGH, THE STRESS ON THE STAFF IS

  • HIGH.

  • I WAS JUST TALKING TO THE DOCTOR

  • ABOUT THIS, YOU DO THIS WITH

  • TWO, THREE, FOUR WEEKS, THE

  • LEVEL OF STRESS IS VERY INTENSE.

  • ELMHURST HOSPITAL IS A PART OF A

  • PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM OF ABOUT 11

  • HOSPITALS IN NEW YORK CITY.

  • THAT SYSTEM HAS TO WORK

  • TOGETHER.

  • AND THOSE HOSPITALS HAVE TO WORK

  • TOGETHER.

  • THE LEVIN HEALTH AND HOSPITAL IN

  • NEW YORK CITY, THE PUBLIC

  • SYSTEM.

  • I WILL ASK MAYOR De BLASIO AND

  • CONTROLLER STINGER TO TAKE A --

  • STRINGER TO LOOK AT THE SYSTEM

  • AND LOOK AT HOW WE CAN GET THAT

  • SYSTEM TO WORK BETTER TOGETHER

  • AS A UNIFIED SYSTEM.

  • THIS IS NOT GOING TO GET BETTER

  • SOON.

  • RIGHT.

  • SO ELMHURST IS UNDER STRESS NOW.

  • THAT STRESS DOES NOT ABATE FOR

  • THIS FORESEEABLE SHORT-TERM

  • FUTURE.

  • SO HOW DO WE MAKE THAT SYSTEM

  • WORK BETTER TOGETHER?

  • AND WHAT RECOMMENDATION DOS WE

  • HAVE TO IMPROVE H&H?

  • WE WILL ALSO BE MEETING WITH THE

  • PRIVATE HOSPITALS IN NEW YORK

  • CITY THAT ARE ORGED THROUGH THE

  • GREATER NEW YORK HEALTH SYSTEM.

  • WE WILL MEET TO TALK ABOUT

  • HAVING THOSE HOSPITALS ALSO

  • ORGANIZED ACT AS ONE, GET OUT OF

  • THEIR SILOS.

  • GET OUT OF THEIR IDENTITIES TO

  • WORK TOGETHER.

  • AND THEN, OVERALL, HAVE YOU

  • THESE LOCAL HEALTH SYSTEMS.

  • THE STATE'S ROLE, WHICH WE'VE

  • NEVER REALLY DONE BEFORE, IS

  • GETTING THOSE HEALTH SYSTEMS TO

  • WORK WITH ONE ANOTHER SO WE

  • TALKED ABOUT IF NEW YORK CITY

  • GETS OVERWHELMED, WHEEL ASK THE

  • UPSTATE SYSTEMS TO BE A RELIEF

  • VALVE FOR THE DOWN-STATE HEALTH

  • SYSTEMS, WHICH HAS NEVER

  • HAPPENED BEFORE TO ANY SCALE.

  • AND ALSO, VICE-VERSA.

  • THERE WILL BE A TIME WHERE THE

  • UPSTATE HOSPITALS WILL BE

  • STRUGGLING.

  • AND WHEN THE UPSTATE HOSPITALS

  • WILL BE STRUGGLING, THEN WE WANT

  • THE DOWN-STATE HOSPITALS TO BE

  • ABLE TO TAKE OVER AND RELIEVE

  • THOSE HOSPITALS.

  • THAT'S ACTUALLY THE ADVANTAGE OF

  • THE ROLLING CURVE THAT THEY'RE

  • PROJECTING.

  • IF IT DOES HAPPEN THAT WAY,

  • THEORETICALLY, THE -- I ALMOST

  • THINK OF IT AS A HIGH TIDE MARK.

  • RIGHT.

  • HIGH TIDE COMES FIRST IN NEW

  • YORK CITY.

  • THEN THE TIDE IS ON THE WAY

  • DOWN.

  • THEN IT'S HIGH TIDE IN UPSTATE,

  • NEW YORK.

  • OKAY, SO IF THE TIDE IS DROPPING

  • DOWN STATE, HAVE YOU RELIEF FOR

  • THE UPSTATE HOSPITALS.

  • WE PUT IN PLACE THE NEW YORK

  • PAUSE PROGRAM.

  • TODAY I AM GOING TO EXTEND IT TO

  • APRIL 15th.

  • THE DIRECTIVE THAT NON-ESSENTIAL

  • STATE WORK FORCE CONTINUE TO

  • WORK FROM HOME.

  • WE ARE DOING IT IN TWO-WEEK

  • INTERVALS, BECAUSE EVERY DAY IS

  • A NEW DAY AND WE'LL SEE WHAT

  • HAPPENS DAY-TO-DAY, BUT I THINK

  • IT'S NOT EVEN QUESTIONABLE

  • TODAY.

  • BUT THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED TWO

  • MORE WEEKS OF NON-ESSENTIAL

  • WORKERS.

  • THE GOOD NEWS, ROD'S WORK HAS

  • DEVELOPED, THE NEW YORK STATE

  • DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH HAS

  • DEVELOPED A LESS INTRUSIVE

  • SALIVA AND SHORT NASAL SWAB

  • TEST.

  • I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT A

  • SHORT NASAL SWAB TEST CAN BE.

  • IT WILL BE ADMINISTERED IN THE

  • PRESENCE OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS,

  • REQUIRES LESS PPE.

  • HEALTHCARE WORKERS CAN ADMIN

  • STERS.

  • IT CAN START AS SOON AS NEXT

  • WEEK.

  • PEOPLE ASK, WHEN IS THIS OVER?

  • I THINK THE TESTING.

  • YOU TELL ME WHEN THEY COME UP

  • WITH A -- AN INEXPENSIVE HOME

  • TEST OR POINT OF CARE TEST THAT

  • CAN BE BROUGHT TO VOLUME, I

  • THINK THAT'S PROBABLY WHEN YOU

  • SEE A REAL RETURN TO NORMALCY IN

  • THE WORK FORCE.

  • IN OTHER WORDS, WE'RE ALL

  • TALKING ABOUT THIS CURVE,

  • FLATTEN THE CURVE, WHAT -- AT

  • WHAT POINT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF

  • THE CURVE DO YOU GO BACK TO

  • WORK?

  • JESSIE ASKED THIS QUESTION THE

  • OTHER DAY.

  • THERE IS NO ANSWER.

  • I THINK THE ANSWER IS GOING TO

  • BE IN TESTING.

  • DR. FAUCI, WHO I THINK IS -- WE

  • ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE HIM HERE

  • AT THIS TIME -- HE TALKS ABOUT

  • FASTER, EASIER TESTING.

  • IF YOU CAN TEST MILLIONS OF

  • PEOPLE, IF YOU CAN TEST TODAY

  • MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, YOU COULD

  • SEND THEM TO WORK TOMORROW.

  • RIGHT.

  • SO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE

  • TESTS I THINK ARE VERY IMPORTANT

  • AND INSTRUCTIVE.

  • TOMORROW THE U.S. COME FIRST IS

  • COMING, THAT IS ABOUT 1,000 BED

  • CAPACITY, IT'S STAFFED BY A

  • FEDERAL OFFICIALS, FEDERAL,

  • MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS.

  • IT IS NOT FOR COVID-19 PATIENTS

  • BUT IT IS TO TAKE THE BACK-FILL

  • FROM HOSPITALS.

  • CURRENT STOCKPILE, WE'RE STILL

  • WORKING TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT

  • ALL ACROSS THE GLOBE.

  • WE HAVE A WHOLE TEAM THAT'S

  • WORKING SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

  • UNFORTUNATELY, WE'RE COMPETING

  • AGAINST EVERY OTHER STATE IN THE

  • UNITED STATES FOR THESE SAME

  • THINGS.

  • SO, IT'S VERY HARD.

  • BUT WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS.

  • IN TERMS OF FINDING STAFF,

  • THAT'S GOING VERY WELL.

  • THE VOLUNTEERISM OF NEW YORKERS,

  • GOD BLESS THEM.

  • WE'RE UP TO 76,000 HEALTHCARE

  • WORKERS WHO HAVE VOLUNTEERED.

  • 76,000.

  • 76,000 PEOPLE WHO VOLUNTEERED TO

  • GO INTO THESE HOSPITALS AT THIS

  • TIME.

  • JUST THINK ABOUT THAT.

  • ON THE TOTAL PEOPLE TESTED, WE

  • DID 16,000.

  • LAST NIGHT, TOTAL OF 172,000

  • TESTED.

  • THAT'S THE HIGHEST IN THE STATE.

  • THE HIGHEST IN THE COUNTRY, I'M

  • SORRY.

  • TOTAL CASES 59,000.

  • THE VIRUS CONTINUES ITS MARCH

  • ACROSS THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

  • ONLY TWO COUNTIES NOW THAT DON'T

  • HAVE CASES.

  • THESE ARE THE OVERALL NUMBERS,

  • 59,000 PEOPLE TESTED POSITIVE.

  • 8,000 CURRENTLY HOSPITALIZED.

  • 2,000 ICU PATIENTS.

  • 3500 PATIENTS DISCHARGED.

  • WE KNOW -- NOBODY REALLY POINTS

  • TO THESE NUMBERS, BUT THIS IS

  • GOOD NEWS, 846 PEOPLE CAME OUT

  • OF HOSPITALS YESTERDAY

  • DISCHARGED AFTER BEING TREATED

  • FOR COVID.

  • RIGHT.

  • SO, YES, PEOPLE GET IT, 80% HAVE

  • EITHER SELF RESOLVED OR HAVE

  • SOME SYMPTOMS AT HOME.

  • 20% GOING TO THE HOSPITAL, THE

  • MAJORITY OF THOSE GET TREATED

  • AND LEAVE.

  • IT'S THE ACUTELY ILL BY AND

  • LARGE WHO ARE THE VULNERABLE

  • POPULATION AND THAT'S WHAT WE

  • ARE SEEING MORE AND MORE.

  • THE DEATHS WENT FROM 728 TO 965.

  • WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW IS, AS I

  • MENTIONED YESTERDAY, PEOPLE ARE

  • ON THE VENTILATOR LONGER AND

  • LONGER.

  • THE LONGER YOU ARE ON A

  • VENTILATOR, THE LESS YOUR CHANCE

  • OF EVER GETTING OFF THAT

  • VENTILATOR, THAT'S WHAT WE ARE

  • SEEING.

  • WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THE

  • NUMBER OF DEATHS INCREASE.

  • IN TERMS OF MOST IMPACTED

  • STATES, AGAIN, NEW YORK IS STILL

  • NUMBER ONE.

  • TOTAL NEW HOSPITALIZATIONS,

  • THESE ARE THE CHARTS WE LOOK AT

  • EVERY NIGHT.

  • THE NUMBER IS UP, 1,175.

  • IT WAS A 47 THE NIGHT BEFORE.

  • THESE BOUNCE NIGHT-TO-NIGHT.

  • ANY ONE NIGHT'S DATA COULD HAVE

  • A NUMBER OF VARIABLES IN IT,

  • WHAT HOSPITALS ACTUALLY

  • REPORTED, WHEN THEY REPORTED IT,

  • HOW ACCURATE THEY WERE.

  • SO THE MORE YOU LOOK FOR A TREND

  • LINE, MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE,

  • AND THERE ARE TREND LINES.

  • IF YOU LOOK EARLY ON, THE

  • HOSPITALIZATION RATE WAS

  • DOUBLING EVERY TWO DAYS.

  • THEN IT DOUBLED EVERY THREE

  • DAYS.

  • THEN IT DOUBLED EVERY FOUR DAYS.

  • NOW IT'S DOUBLING EVERY SIX

  • DAYS.

  • SO, YOU HAVE ALMOST A DICHOTOMY.

  • THE DOUBLING RATE IS SLOWING AND

  • THAT IS GOOD NEWS.

  • BUT THE NUMBER OF CASES ARE

  • STILL GOING UP.

  • SO YOU ARE STILL GOING UP

  • TOWARDS AN APEX, BUT THE RATE OF

  • THE DOUBLING IS SLOWING, WHICH

  • IS GOOD NEWS.

  • CHANGE IN DAILY ICU ADMISSIONS.

  • YOU SEE A PICKUP IN THE ICU

  • ADMISSIONS.

  • BUT AGAIN YOU SEE THE -- YOU

  • LOOK FOR THE TREND LINE AMONG

  • THOSE COLUMNS, MORE THAN THE

  • INDIVIDUAL COLUMNS.

  • CHANGE IN DAILY INTUBATIONS.

  • WE DON'T NORMALLY RUN THIS

  • CHART.

  • BUT THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE

  • MOST SERIOUSLY AFFECTED.

  • AND AGAIN YOU SEE A TREND LINE

  • IN THAT.

  • YOU SEE SOME ABERRATIONS.

  • MARCH 26th THE 290 BUT YOU SEE A

  • TREND LINE AND THE TREND LINE IS

  • WHAT WE'RE WATCHING.

  • YOU ALSO SEE A TREND LINE IN

  • PEOPLE BEING DISCHARGED.

  • OKAY.

  • AND THIS IS A DRAMATIC TREND

  • LINE.

  • SO, PEOPLE CAME IN, THEY STARTED

  • TO GET TREATED.

  • ONLY MARCH 18th, RIGHT, SO WE'RE

  • ONLY TALKING ABOUT TEN DAYS.

  • THEY STARTED TO GET TREATED.

  • A FEW OF THEM GOT OUT EARLY.

  • A FEW MORE, A FEW MORE, A FEW

  • MORE, A FEW MORE.

  • NOW YOU ARE SEEING THE DISCHARGE

  • NUMBER TREND WAY UP, BECAUSE

  • THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

  • PEOPLE ARE GOING TO THE

  • HOSPITAL.

  • THEY GET TREATED.

  • THEY LEAVE.

  • THOSE THAT ARE ACUTELY ILL GET

  • PUT ON A VENTILATOR AND THEN

  • IT'S THE INVERSE DYNAMIC.

  • THE LONGER THEY'RE ON THE

  • INTUBATOR, THE LONGER THEY ARE

  • INTUBATED, THE LONGER THEY ARE

  • ON THE VENTILATOR, THE HIGHER

  • THE MORTALITY RATE.

  • AGAIN, PERSPECTIVE.

  • THESE ARE THE NUMBERS FROM DAY

  • ONE, SINCE CHINA STARTED.

  • ALSO, WE SHOULD ALL KEEP IN

  • MIND, WE LOST THE FIRST

  • RESPONDERS WHO GO OUT THERE AND

  • TALK ABOUT 76,000 PEOPLE WHO

  • VOLUNTEERED TO HELP MEDICAL

  • PROFESSIONALS.

  • BEING THE FIRST RESPONDER TODAY,

  • BEING A PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIAL,

  • WORKING IN A HOSPITAL, WORKING

  • WITH SENIOR CITIZENS.

  • THIS IS REALLY AN ACT OF LOVE

  • AND COURAGE.

  • WE LOST DETECTIVE SAID RICK

  • NELSON, DIXON 46-YEARS-OLD,

  • 22nd, 33-YEAR VETERAN, COULD

  • HAVE RETIRED.

  • SO WE WISH HIM AND HIS FAMILY

  • PEACE.

  • WE LOST A NURSE, A COUPLE OTHER

  • NURSES, KELLY, 46-YEARS-OLD THE

  • ASSISTANT MANAGER AT MT. SINAI

  • WEST.

  • WE WISH HIS FAMILY THE BEST.

  • THESE PUBLIC.

  • THESE PUBLIC PEOPLE.

  • I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE TOWARDS TO

  • EXPRESS MY ADMIRATION.

  • COURAGE IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF

  • FEAR BUT RATHER THE ASSESSMENT

  • THAT SOMETHING ELSE IS MORE

  • IMPORTANT THAN FEAR.

  • TO ME THAT SAYS IT ALL TODAY.

  • EVERYONE IS AFRAID.

  • DO YOU THINK THESE POLICE

  • OFFICERS ARE FOUGHT AFRAID TO

  • LEAVE THEIR HOUSE?

  • DO YOU THINK THESE NURSES ARE

  • NOT AFRAID TO GO INTO THE

  • HOSPITAL?

  • THEY'RE AFRAID.

  • BUT SOMETHING IS MORE IMPORTANT

  • THAN THEIR FEAR, WHICH IS THEIR

  • PASSION, THEIR COMMITMENT FOR

  • PUBLIC SERVICE AND HELPING

  • OTHERS.

  • THAT'S ALL IT IS, JUST THEIR

  • PASSION AND BELIEVE IN HELPING

  • OTHERS.

  • THAT OVERCOMES THEIR FEAR.

  • AND THAT MAKES THEM IN MY BOOK

  • TRULY AMAZING, OUTSTANDING,

  • HUMAN BEINGS.

  • I WISH THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES

  • ALL THE BEST.

  • THE PRESIDENT AND CDC ORDERED A

  • TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR PEOPLE OF

  • NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY,

  • CONNECTICUT.

  • THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.

  • THIS IS NOT A LOCKDOWN.

  • IT IS A TRAVEL ADVISORY TO BE

  • IMPLEMENTED BY THE STATES, IN

  • ESSENCE.

  • IT'S NOTHING THAT WE HAVEN'T

  • BEEN DOING.

  • RIGHT?

  • NON-ESSENTIAL PEOPLE SHOULD STAY

  • AT HOME.

  • SO IT'S TOTALLY CONSISTENT WITH

  • EVERYTHING WE ARE DOING.

  • AND I SUPPORT WHAT THE PRESIDENT

  • DID BECAUSE IT AFFIRMS WHAT WE

  • HAVE BEEN DOING.

  • IT ALSO AFFIRMS WHAT NEW JERSEY

  • AND CONNECTICUT HAVE BEEN DOING.

  • RHODE ISLAND ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE

  • ORDER THAT NEW YORK LICENSE

  • PLATES WOULD BE THEORETICALLY

  • STOPPED AT THE BORDER FOR

  • MANDATORY QUARANTINE OF SOME

  • PERIOD, THAT EXECUTIVE ORDER HAS

  • BEEN REPEALED BY THE STATE OF

  • RHODE ISLAND AND WE THANK THEM

  • FOR THEIR COOPERATION.

  • THAT WAS REPEALED LAST NIGHT.

  • PERSONAL OPINION, NOT FACT.

  • GRATUITOUS.

  • THIS IS DISORIENTING.

  • IT'S FRIGHTENING.

  • IT'S DISTURBING.

  • YOUR WHOLE LIFE IS TURNED

  • UPSIDEDOWN OVERNIGHT.

  • TO THE BEST YOU CAN, YOU FIND A

  • WAY TO CREATE SOME JOY.

  • YOU TRY TO FIND A SILVER LINING

  • IN ALL OF THIS.

  • HOW DO YOU BREAK UP THE

  • MONOTONY.

  • WHAT DO YOU DO?

  • HOW DO YOU BRING A SMILE TO

  • PEOPLE'S FACE?

  • I GIVE YOU MY IDEA FOR TODAY,

  • SUNDAY, I COME FROM AN

  • ITALIAN-AMERICAN FAMILY.

  • SUNDAY WAS FAMILY DAY.

  • WE HAD THE BIG FAMILY DINNER.

  • IF WE COULD HAVE LIKE IN THE

  • AFTERNOON, SO IT WAS LIKE

  • CONFUSING, BUT IT WAS LIKE A

  • LUNCH, LATE LUNCH.

  • THEY CALLED DINNER.

  • AND IT WAS SPAGHETTI AND

  • MEATBALLS AND SAUSAGES AND MY

  • FAMILY WOULD ALL GET TOGETHER.

  • IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL TIME.

  • I DIDN'T APPRECIATE IT AS A KID.

  • IT WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL.

  • THEY ALL CAME TOGETHER.

  • THE GRANDPARENTS WERE THERE.

  • THEY WOULD START TO EAT IT.

  • 2:00.

  • IT WAS LIKE A MARATHON SESSION.

  • THE FOOD WAS REALLY JUST THE

  • ATTRACTION TO GET PEOPLE

  • TOGETHER.

  • YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT

  • HOW DO YOU ITALIANS LOVE THE

  • FOOD?

  • THAT'S TRUE.

  • BUT REALLY THEY LOVE BRINGING

  • THE FAMILY TOGETHER AND THE FOOD

  • WAS THE WAY THAT PEOPLE CAME

  • TOGETHER AND YOU SAT AT THE

  • TABLE AND IT WAS JUST A TWO,

  • THREE-HOUR AFFAIR.

  • MY MOTHER AND FATHER DID IT

  • ALSO.

  • NOT THAT MY GRANDPARENTS DID IT.

  • BUT WE HAD THAT SAME SUNDAY

  • DINNER AROUND THE TABLE.

  • I TRIED TO CONTINUE AT THIS TIME

  • AS A FATHER WITH MY KIDS.

  • I WAS DIVORCED.

  • AND SO I'M NOT REALLY THE BEST

  • COOK TO SAY THE LEAST.

  • BUT WE WOULD HAVE ON SUNDAYS, I

  • WOULD ACTUALLY GO TO THE ITALIAN

  • SPECIALTY STORE AND BUY THEM

  • MEATBALLS AND SAUSAGES.

  • I WOULD PUT IT ON THE STOVE AND

  • PART OF IT WOULD SIT ON THE

  • STOVE ALL DAY AND SIMMER AND

  • YOU'D SMELL IT ALL THROUGH THE

  • HOUSE.

  • THEN I'D MAKE THEM SIT DOWN AND

  • WE WOULD HAVE SPA GETTY AND

  • MEATBALLS AND SAUSAGE ON SUNDAYS

  • AND MY DAUGHTER KARA IS IN THE

  • BACK.

  • THEY WOULD NEVER EAT THE SAUSAGE

  • AND THE MEATBALLS.

  • THEY WOULD PICK AT THE PASTA,

  • BECAUSE THEY KNEW I DIDN'T KNOW

  • HOW TO COOK.

  • SO THEY KNEW THAT MEATBALL AND

  • SAUSAGE WAS INHERENTLY SUSPECT.

  • I NEVER SAID I BOUGHT IT IN THE

  • SPECIALTY STORE, BECAUSE THAT

  • WOULD HAVE RUINED THE WHOLE

  • TRADITION ANYWAYS.

  • SO THEY WOULDN'T EAT IT AND WE'D

  • GO FOR CHINESE FOOD AFTERWARDS.

  • BUT THAT CONVENING WAS SOMETHING

  • SPECIAL.

  • AND TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE

  • OUR FAMILY DINNER.

  • WE'RE MISSING ONE DAUGHTER,

  • MARIAH, WE'RE GOING TO GET

  • MARIAH ON SKYPE AND GRANDMA WILL

  • BE ON THE TELEPHONE.

  • AND WE'RE GOING TO SIT AROUND

  • THE TABLE AND WE'RE GOING TO

  • HAVE THAT KIND OF COMING

  • TOGETHER.

  • A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

  • SKYPE TELEPHONES, BUT, YOU KNOW

  • WHAT, WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON,

  • FAMILY, WE'RE HERE, WE'RE

  • TOGETHER, WE'RE HEALTHY.

  • THAT'S 98% OF IT.

  • SO FIND WAYS TO MAKE A LITTLE

  • JOY.

  • ALSO FOR NEW YORKERS, I HAD A

  • LOT OF PHONE CALLS YESTERDAY

  • WHEN THE PRESIDENT FIRST

  • SUGGESTED SOME FORM OF

  • QUARANTINE.

  • WHAT DOES THAT MEAN QUARANTINE?

  • AM I GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO

  • LEAVE THE HOUSE?

  • ARE MY PARENTS WHO ARE SUPPOSED

  • TO BE COMING BACK AND THIS ONE'S

  • HERE, THIS ONE'S HERE.

  • I KNOW WE FEEL UNDER ATTACK.

  • THE RHODE ISLAND, YOU CAN'T

  • DRIVE INTO RHODE ISLAND.

  • WE'LL PULL YOU OVER WITH THE

  • POLICE.

  • YES, NEW YORK IS THE EPICENTER.

  • AND THESE ARE DIFFERENT TIMES

  • AND MANY PEOPLE ARE FRIGHTENED.

  • SOME OF THE REACTIONS YOU GET

  • FROM INDIVIDUALS, EVEN FROM

  • GOVERNMENTS, ARE FRIGHTENING AND

  • SUGGESTING THAT THEY'LL TAKE

  • ABRUPT ACTIONS AGAINST NEW YORK.

  • BUT LOOK.

  • THIS IS NEW YORK.

  • AND WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT

  • THROUGH THIS.

  • WE HAVE MADE IT THROUGH FAR

  • GREATER THINGS.

  • WE ARE GOING TO BE OKAY.

  • WE SPECIALIZE IN STAMINA AND

  • STRENGTH AND INSTABILITY AND

  • THAT'S JUST WHAT WE'RE DOING

  • NOW.

  • WE ARE STRONG.

  • WE HAVE ENDURANCE.

  • AND WE HAVE STABILITY.

  • AND WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING.

  • WE HAVE A PLAN.

  • WE'RE EXECUTING THE PLAN.

  • ANYTHING, ANY OBSTACLE THAT WE

  • COME ACROSS WE WILL MANAGE THAT

  • OBSTACLE AND WE HAVE.

  • I CAN'T SIT HERE AND SAY TO

  • ANYONE, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SEE

  • PEOPLE PASS AWAY.

  • YOU WILL.

  • THAT IS THE NATURE OF WHAT WE

  • ARE DEALING WITH.

  • AND THAT'S BEYOND ANY OF OUR

  • CONTROL.

  • BUT NEW YORKER IS GOING TO HAVE

  • WHAT IT NEEDS AND NO ONE IS

  • GOING TO ATTACK NEW YORK

  • UNFAIRLY AND NO ONE IS GOING TO

  • DEPRIVE OF WHAT IT NEEDS.

  • THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

  • THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A STATE

  • NUMBER OF VERY TALENTED

  • PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE.

  • SO, A DEEP THREAT ON ALL OF

  • THAT.

  • AND WE ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT WE

  • NEED TO DO.

  • THERE IS NO STATE IN THE NATION

  • THAT IS BETTER PREPARED OR

  • BETTER MOBILIZED THAN WHAT WE

  • ARE DOING.

  • SAND I FEEL THAT DEEPLY AND

  • HAVING STUDIED EVERYTHING THAT

  • EVERY OTHER STATE HAS DONE,

  • FEDERAL OFFICIALS HAVE EVEN

  • REMARKED TO ME, THAT THEY'RE

  • SURPRISED HOW QUICKLY A STATE AS

  • BIG AND COMPLICATED AS NEW YORK

  • HAS ACTUALLY MOBILIZED.

  • SO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT.

  • THERE ARE TWO GREAT NEW YORK

  • EXPRESSIONS THAT I USE ALL THE

  • TIME.

  • ANYTHING I BUILD IN NEW YORK

  • OWES US TWO EXPRESSIONS ON IT.

  • ONE, EXCELSIOR SAYS IT MORE,

  • EVER UPWARDS, ASPIRATIONAL.

  • WE CAN BE BETTER.

  • WE WILL BE BETTER.

  • WE WILL AIM HIGHER.

  • WE WILL IMPROVE OURSELVES,

  • EXCELSIOR, STATE MODEL ON THE

  • SEAL BEHIND ME, EXCELSIOR.

  • AND THE OTHER EPLURIBUS YOU NUM.

  • OUT OF EVERYONE.

  • UNITY.

  • UNITY, YOU PUT THOSE TWO THINGS

  • TOGETHER IT SAYS IT ALL, AIM

  • HIGH, DO BETTER.

  • BELIEVE ARE YOU DO BETTER.

  • BE OPTIMISTIC AND THE WAY YOU

  • GET THERE IS THROUGH UNITY.

  • AND TOGETHERNESS AND

  • COOPERATION.

  • AND THROUGH A MUCH WEIGHT AND

  • COMMUNITY.

  • THOSE TWO EXPRESSIONS I SAY TO

  • MY DAUGHTERS, IF YOU REMEMBER

  • NOTHING ELSE WHEN I'M GONE, IF

  • YOU WALK UP TO THE BOX AND HAVE

  • NOTHING ELSE TO REMEMBER

  • EXCELSIOR, YOU CAN BE BETTER.

  • IT WILL BE BETTER.

  • WE CAN MAKE YOU BETTER.

  • WE MAKE IT BETTER TOGETHER.

  • THAT'S IT P. QUESTIONS.

  • >> SAY AGAIN.

  • >> WHEN ARE WE GOING TO START

  • FUNNELING PATIENTS INTO JAVITS?

  • AND WHEN IS THAT PROCESS GOING

  • TO WORK?

  • >> WHEN WILL WE FUNNEL PATIENTS

  • INTO JAVITS?

  • JAVITS WILL BE COMING ONLINE

  • THIS WEEK.

  • ALSO REMEMBER, A LOT OF WHAT WE

  • ARE DOING IS WE ARE BUILDING

  • CAPACITY AND ASSEMBLING SUPPLIES

  • FOR THE APEX.

  • YOU LOOK AT PEOPLE SAY YOU DON'T

  • NEED THIS TODAY.

  • YEAH, I KNOW WHERE WE ARE ON

  • THIS TRAJECTORY.

  • I HAVE TO PREPARE FOR THE APEX,

  • FOR THE CURVE.

  • THAT'S WHERE I NEED THE BEDS,

  • THAT'S WHERE I NEED THE

  • SUPPLIES, ET CETERA.

  • THAT'S WHEN I SAY, GET AHEAD OF

  • THIS THING, RIGHT?

  • THE VIRUS IS AHEAD OF US.

  • I WANT TO GET TO THAT APEX

  • BEFORE THE VIRUS GETS TO THE

  • APEX.

  • THE JAVITS IS A PART OF THAT

  • SUPPLY.

  • BUT IT WILL BE COMING ONLINE

  • THIS WEEK WHEN WE ACTUALLY

  • UTILIZE SIT WHEN WE NEED IT.

  • KAREN.

  • >> FAMILY DINNERS A MOMENT AGO.

  • OBVIOUSLY, THE STAY AT HOME

  • ORDERS AFFECT EASTER AND

  • PASSOVER SO THAT MEANS THAT

  • PEOPLE CAN'T GO TO CHURCH, CAN'T

  • HAVE SADERS.

  • WHAT ADVICE DO YOU GIVE THEM?

  • >> IT'S HARD.

  • IT'S HARD.

  • BUT ON THE FLIPSIDE, I SAY, LOOK

  • AT WHAT HAPPENED IN NEW

  • ROCHELLE.

  • THOSE GATHERINGS THAT BROUGHT

  • PEOPLE TOGETHER WERE RELIGIOUS

  • GATHERINGS.

  • AND BROUGHT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE

  • TOGETHER, WHICH WAS BEAUTIFUL.

  • BUT IT MADE MANY, MANY PEOPLE

  • ILL.

  • AND DENSITY IS THE ENEMY HERE.

  • FOR THIS PARTICULAR TIME.

  • SO, YOU WORSHIP, WORSHIP THE WAY

  • YOU CAN BUT THE GATHERINGS ARE

  • NOT A GOOD IDEA.

  • BY THE WAY.

  • THE PATIENT VIEW IN WEST CHESTER

  • NEW ROCHELLE WHO WAS VERY SICK

  • FOR A VERY LONG TIME, HE HAS

  • ACTUALLY GONE HOME.

  • AM I CORRECT ON THAT?

  • >> HE'S OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.

  • >> HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO --

  • [ INAUDIBLE ]

  • SO HOW DO YOU TAKE BACK THE

  • TRAVEL ISSUE?

  • >> I SPOKE TO THE GOVERNOR OF

  • RHODE ISLAND YESTERDAY AND WE

  • HAD A CONVERSATION.

  • I DON'T THINK THE ORDER WAS

  • CALLED FOR.

  • I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS LEGAL.

  • I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS

  • NEIGHBORLY.

  • I UNDERSTOOD THE POINT.

  • BUT I THOUGHT THERE WERE

  • DIFFERENT WAYS TO DO IT AND THE

  • GOVERNOR OF RHODE ISLAND WAS

  • VERY RECEPTIVE AND I THANKED HER

  • VERY MUCH FOR RECONSIDERING HER

  • POSITION.

  • >> 237 DEATHS IN THE LAST 24

  • HOURS IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

  • 222 IT SEEMS IN NEW YORK CITY.

  • WHAT ARE YOUR PROJECTIONS

  • SHOWING IN TERMS OF WHAT THIS

  • APEX MIGHT LOOK LIKE IN TERMS OF

  • FATALITIES?

  • ARE WE TALKING HUNDREDS OF

  • PEOPLE?

  • THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE?

  • WHAT ARE YOU SEEING INSIDE?

  • JUNE, HOWARD, DO YOU KNOW?

  • >> SURE.

  • THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT

  • PROJECTIONS THAT WE ARE LOOKING

  • AT AND IT DOES SEE THAT WILL BE

  • ALREADY WE'RE AT 965.

  • SO YOU DO SEE IN THE THOUSANDS.

  • BUT AGAIN, THESE ARE MODELS AND

  • WE HAVE TO PLAN FOR WHAT THE

  • MODEL MAY SHOW.

  • HOPEFULLY, IT WILL BE LESS.

  • >> HOW DO WE PREPARE NEW

  • YORKERS?

  • ARE WE TALKING HUNDREDS A DAY,

  • THOUSANDS A DAY?

  • >> IT GOES BACK TO THE NUMBERS.

  • WE ALWAYS SAID 80% OF THE

  • INDIVIDUALS GET BETTER.

  • THE OTHER 20%, SOME END UP IN

  • THE HOSPITAL.

  • IT'S A SMALL PERCENTAGE THAT END

  • UP, UNFORTUNATELY, DYING.

  • THAT PERCENTAGE AS WE LOOK AT

  • THE NUMBERS IS ACTUALLY HOVERING

  • AROUND ONE OR EVEN LESS THAN 1%.

  • SO AGAIN IT'S DETERMINED BY HOW

  • MANY PEOPLE.

  • >> OPINION, JESSIE, NOT DATA

  • DRIVEN?

  • >> I DON'T SEE HOW YOU LOOK AT

  • THOSE NUMBERS AND CONCLUDE

  • ANYTHING LESS THAN THOUSANDS OF

  • PEOPLE WILL PASS AWAY.

  • >> BECAUSE REMEMBER WHO IT'S

  • ATTACKING.

  • IT'S ATTACKING THE VULNERABLE,

  • UNDERLYING ILLNESS, ET CETERA.

  • AND I DON'T SEE HOW YOU GET PAST

  • THAT CURVE WITHOUT SEEING

  • THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PASS AWAY?

  • I HOPE IT'S WRONG, BUT --

  • >> AS OF FRIDAY, NEW YORK HOME

  • RESIDENTS WERE ABOUT A FOURTH OF

  • THE CORONAVIRUS DEATHS IN NEW

  • YORK CITY.

  • WHAT MORE CAN THE STATE DO TO

  • PASS THAT RATIO?

  • >> NURSING HOMES ARE ABOUT A

  • FOURTH OF THE CORONAVIRUS

  • DEATHS.

  • FRANKLY, I'M -- WE ARE LUCKY

  • IT'S ONLY ONE-QUARTER.

  • CORONAVIRUS AND A NURSING HOME

  • IS A TOXIC MIX.

  • WE'VE SAID THAT FROM DAY ONE.

  • WE SAW THAT IN WASHINGTON STATE.

  • THIS VIRUS PREYS ON THE

  • VULNERABLE.

  • IT PREYS ON SENIORS.

  • IT PREYS ON PEOPLE WITH

  • COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEMS AND

  • UNDERLYING ILLNESSES AND

  • CORONAVIRUS IN A NURSING HOME

  • CAN BE LIKE FIRE THROUGH DRY

  • GRASS.

  • THE STATE HAS PUT IN DIFFERENT

  • PRECAUTIONS.

  • WE'RE NOT EVEN ALLOWING VISITORS

  • INTO NURSING HOMES NOW, WHICH IS

  • REALLY HARSH, FRANKLY, UNLESS

  • WHAT WE CALL THERE ARE EXIGENT

  • CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THE PERSON

  • IS IN A DESPERATE SITUATION AND

  • THEN THE FAMILY COMES IN TO SEE

  • THEM.

  • THE STAFF IS BEING TESTED BEFORE

  • THEY GO IN.

  • SO WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE

  • CAN.

  • BUT THIS IS TRULY A TERRIBLE

  • VIRUS TO STOP AND THAT

  • COMBINATION IS LETHAL.

  • CORONAVIRUS IN A NURSING HOME IS

  • LETHAL.

  • THE ONLY QUESTION IS HOW MANY

  • PEOPLE ARE DYING.

  • I'M SORRY, JIMMY.

  • >> YOUR ORDE -- YOU'RE

  • EXTENDING THAT CALL ORDER TO ALL

  • ESSENTIAL WORKERS AND ALL THOSE

  • GATHERING THROUGH?

  • >> YES.

  • >> OKAY.

  • THEN TO GO BACK TO THE POINT THE

  • DOCTOR IS MAKING, OBVIOUSLY,

  • WE'RE TESTING AT A VERY LARGE

  • RATE.

  • WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF POSITIVES

  • MAYBE COMPARED TO OTHER

  • JURISDICTIONS, TO WHAT NUMBER

  • ARE YOU ACTUALLY LOOKING AT?

  • DO YOU LOOK AT THE RATE OF

  • HOSPITALIZATION, ICU INTUBATION?

  • THE DATA SEEMS TO BE SAYING

  • DIFFERENT THINGS.

  • >> YOU LOOK AT ALL THE NUMBERS.

  • WE LOOK AT ALL DEATHS.

  • WE LOOK AT THE TRENDS.

  • IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

  • THE GOVERNOR MENTIONS IT IS A

  • TREND WE NEED TO FOLLOW, WHETHER

  • IT'S INTUBATIONS, ICU CARE AND

  • OBVIOUSLY THE CASE MORTALITY

  • RATE, WHICH IS THE NUMBER OF

  • PEOPLE DIE, WHICH IS THE LARGE

  • NUMBER TESTED.

  • NEW YORK HAS TESTED MANY PEOPLE,

  • MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE.

  • >> JIMMY, IF I CAN ON THAT, THE

  • QUESTION WAS BASICALLY WHAT

  • NUMBERS DO YOU LOOK AT TO MAKE A

  • PROJECTION?

  • AS THE DOCTOR SAID, YOU LOOK AT

  • ALL OF THEM.

  • BUT I WOULD NOT LOOK AT THE

  • TESTING NUMBERS.

  • I WOULDN'T OVERWEIGHT THE

  • TESTING NUMBERS, BECAUSE THE

  • TESTING NUMBERS ARE NOT RANDOM.

  • THE TESTING NUMBERS ARE ALL SELF

  • SELECTIVE.

  • RIGHT?

  • THESE ARE PEOPLE YOU ARE TESTING

  • BECAUSE THEY'RE SUSPECT OF BEING

  • POSITIVE.

  • AND WE DON'T DO THE PROJECTION

  • OURSELVES.

  • WE HAVE COLOMBIA WIRE MEDICAL

  • CENTER THAT DOES PROJECTIONS.

  • THE CDC DOES PROJECTIONS.

  • WE HAVE MacKINZY COMPANY THAT WE

  • HIRE TO DO PROJECTIONS.

  • SO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FIRMS

  • THAT DO THESE PROJECTION MODELS

  • AND THEY GO BACK TO STUDYING

  • CHINA, SOUTH KOREA, EVERYTHING

  • ELSE.

  • AND THEY HAVE MODEL ITSELF.

  • THE MODELS, SOME OF THE MODELS

  • ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE, RIGHT?

  • SO WE DO THE BEST WE CAN TO PICK

  • A REASONABLE MODEL, NOT THE

  • HIGHEST, NOT THE LOWEST, A

  • REASONABLE MODEL, PLANS WITH NA

  • MODEL -- PLANS WITH THAT MODEL,

  • PLANS WITH THAT APEX.

  • THAT'S WHERE WE GOT FROM DAY

  • ONE, 40,000 ICU BEDS AT THE

  • MODEL AT THE APEX, WHAT YOU

  • DON'T NEED 140,000 HOSPITAL BEDS

  • TODAY.

  • OF COURSE NOT.

  • WE NEED THEM AT THE APEX.

  • BUT THAT'S WHERE WE GOT THE

  • ORIGINAL PROJECTION.

  • THEN HAVE YOU ACTUALITY.

  • RIGHT?

  • WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE POINTING

  • TO.

  • YOU CAN SEE THE DAY-TO-DAY, HOW

  • MANY COME IN, HOW MANY GO OUT,

  • THE DISCHARGE RATE, THE DEATH

  • RATE.

  • THAT'S WHAT WE ARE PLOTTING.

  • THEN THEY TAKE EVERY DAY AND

  • THEY PUT IT AGAINST THEIR

  • PROJECTION.

  • BUT YOU STILL ONLY HAVE A

  • PROJECTION.

  • THEY STILL CAN'T TELL YOU

  • THEY'RE WATCHING FOR THE SLOWING

  • OF THE NUMBER OF CASES.

  • AND WHEN YOU SEE THE NUMBER OF

  • CASES, THE INCREASE IN THE

  • NUMBER OF CASES SLOWING, THEN

  • YOU ARE THEORETICALLY REACHING

  • THE APEX.

  • AND OTHERWISE YOU JUST WATCH IT

  • DAY-TO-DAY.

  • >> YOU KNOW ABOUT SORT OF

  • STOPPING NEW YORK AT THE BORDER,

  • WHAT ABOUT IN FLORIDA?

  • WE'RE HEAR THEY'RE STOPPINGEN ON

  • I-95?

  • >> I DID NOT KNOW THAT.

  • >> I HEAR THERE ARE STRICT

  • RESTRICTIONS ON NEW YORKERS

  • COMING FROM NEW YORK.

  • >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT FLORIDA

  • DID.

  • I WILL LOOK INTO IT.

  • >> I HAVE A THREE-PART QUESTION.

  • >> YOU DON'T HAVE A THREE-PART

  • QUESTION.

  • HAVE YOU TWO PARTS.

  • TAKE FIRST AND SECOND PART, PUT

  • THEM TOGETHER IN ONE PART.

  • >> WE'LL DO THAT.

  • >> MOVING FORWARD, WHAT IS YOUR

  • PLAN FOR TO APPEND WHAT MIGHT BE

  • CONSIDERED BY THE MENTAL HEALTH

  • CRISIS ENDING?

  • AND AS PEOPLE ARE COUPED UP

  • TOGETHER, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS

  • EXPECTED TO RISE AND THEN YOU

  • GET CRIME REPORTS AND CRIME

  • RATES DOWN?

  • >> ALL GOOD QUESTIONS.

  • DOCTOR, DO YOU WANT TO COMMENT?

  • JIMMY YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT

  • THE MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM?

  • >> THE MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM.

  • WE HAVE A VOLUNTEER PROGRAM.

  • WE HAVE NEARLY 12,000 MEDICAL

  • EXPERTS WHO SIGNED UP TO OFFER

  • SERVICES TO NEW YORKERS, EITHER

  • VIA TELEPHONE OR SKYPE OR OTHER

  • THINGS SO THAT PROGRAM IS GOING

  • QUITE WELL OF PSYCHOLOGISTS AND

  • PSYCHIATRISTS THAT ARE MENTAL

  • HEALTH EXPERTS TO HELP WITH

  • THAT.

  • WE ARE TRACKING --

  • >> ARE YOU EXPECTING TO DO

  • SOMETHING THAT NEW YORK STATE --

  • AS OPPOSED TO THIS NATIONAL

  • PRICES OF PEOPLE, MENTAL HEALTH

  • EXPERTS MORE AROUND THE COUNTRY

  • THAT OFFER SKYPE?

  • >> MANY OF THE PEOPLE.

  • WELL, PEOPLE ARE SKYPEING

  • BECAUSE WE WANT TO DISTANCE.

  • WE WANT PEOPLE TO DISTANCE FROM

  • ONE ANOTHER NOW.

  • SO MANY OF THE VOLUNTEERS I

  • MENTIONED ARE ACTUALLY NEW

  • YORKERS, WHO ARE GIVING THEIR

  • TIME TO HELP NEW YORKERS IN NEED

  • RIGHT NOW, THAT ARE NEW YORK

  • CENTRIC?

  • >> YEP.

  • THAT'S RIGHT.

  • >> DOMESTIC VIOLENCE QUESTION --

  • >> JIM, HOWARD, YOU WANT TO TAKE

  • THAT?

  • >> TRACKING.

  • >> SOME OF THAT DATA, IT'S TOUGH

  • TO TELL HOW IT'S EMERGING.

  • WE HAVE SEEN SOME ANECDOTAL

  • INSTANCES OF INCREASE OF

  • DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ISSUES AND

  • DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND OTHER

  • GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WILL BE

  • MONITORING AND TRYING TO PROVIDE

  • SERVICES WHERE POSSIBLE.

  • BUT I DEFER TO THE DOCTORS.

  • >> AS JIM SAID, WE ARE WORKING

  • WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT AGENCIES

  • ACROSS THE STATE ON THIS ISSUE

  • AND MENTAL HEALTH AND THE OTHER

  • AGENCIES.

  • AND I HAVE ALSO REACHED OUT TO

  • OUGHTS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO

  • ASK THE RECOMMENDATIONS THEY MAY

  • HAVE.

  • >> SIR.

  • >> I APPRECIATE IT.

  • CAN YOU KIND OF SPEAK TO IS

  • THERE AN AMPLE WARNING BEFORE

  • THE CORONAVIRUS TOUCHED ON NEW

  • YORK SHORE THAT THERE SHOULD BE

  • LARGE DATA AND ALL GATHERINGS

  • SHOULD BE BANNED, THERE SHOULD

  • BE LARGE WORKPLACE RESTRICTIONS.

  • WHY DIDN'T YOU SHUT DOWN THE

  • STATE SOONER?

  • >> I THINK WE SHUT IT DOWN, I

  • THINK WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST

  • TO SHUT IT DOWN.

  • YOU KNOW SHUTTING IT DOWN IS NOT

  • WITHOUT CRITICISM, EITHER.

  • RIGHT?

  • YOU ARE TRYING TO BALANCE THIS.

  • YOU DON'T HAVE THE CONVERSATION

  • OF WHEN DO YOU BRING THE ECONOMY

  • BACK?

  • WHEN DO YOU OPEN IT UP?

  • SHUTTING IT DOWN IS A VERY

  • DRASTIC MEASURE, BUT I THINK WE

  • WERE ONE OF THE FIRST.

  • ALSO, YOU WANT TO DO IT IN A WAY

  • THAT DOESN'T CREATE MORE FEAR

  • AND MORE PANIC.

  • YOU ARE FIGHTING TWO THINGS.

  • WE'RE STILL FIGHTING TWO THINGS.

  • LAST NIGHT WE WERE FIGHTING TWO

  • THINGS.

  • YOU ARE FIGHTING THE VIRUS AND

  • YOU ARE FIGHTING THE FEAR.

  • I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE

  • QUALIFIED ALL FIGHT LONG ABOUT

  • -- CALLED ALL NIGHT LONG ABOUT

  • THE MANDATORY QUARANTINE COMMENT

  • THAT THE PRESIDENT MADE AS HE

  • WAS GETTING INTO A HOCK, WHICH

  • WAS INCONCLUSIVE BY THE WAY.

  • EVEN IF YOU HEARD THE COMMENT.

  • PEOPLE ARE SO ON EDGE IT REALLY

  • PANICKED PEOPLE.

  • THEY WERE GOING TO LEAVE THE

  • CITY LAST NIGHT.

  • SO YOU NEED TO MANAGE THAT FEAR

  • AND THE PANIC AND YOU ALSO NEED

  • TO DO THE VIRUS.

  • WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST.

  • I NEVER USED THE TERMÑi SHELTERN

  • PLACE BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT WAS

  • AN INFLAMMATORY TERM AND

  • INCORRECT, BY THE WAY, THEY

  • STILL USE IT.

  • NOBODY HAS A SHELTER IN PLACE

  • POLICY.

  • SHELTER IN PLACE WAS FROM THE

  • NUCLEAR WAR THREAT GO TO A

  • WINDOW IN YOUR ROOM AND STAY

  • THERE UNTIL THEY GIVE YOU THE

  • ALL CLEAR SIDE.

  • BUT MODERN TIMES, IT WAS FOR AN

  • ACTIVE SHOOTER CONCEPT OR IN

  • SCHOOLS.

  • THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS WAS.

  • BUT YOU SAY THAT.

  • NUCLEAR WAR ACTIVE SHOOTER, YOU

  • KNOW, SO IT'S A HOW YOU DO IT.

  • BUT WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST TO

  • DO IT.

  • >> IT'S SUCH A QUICK FLIP, DO

  • YOU REGRET NOT CLOSING SCHOOLS

  • SOON 'ER.

  • >> I THINK WE WERE THE MOST

  • DRAMATIC AT BASICALLY THE FIRST

  • POINT.

  • >> YOU CAN TELL ME HOW MANY OR

  • DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY MEDICAL

  • PROFESSIONALS IN NEW YORK OR

  • FRONT LINE FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE

  • THE VIRUS AND TESTED POSITIVE?

  • ARE YOU HEARING FROM HOSPITALS

  • AND OTHER FOLKS?

  • >> I DON'T HAVE WE DON'T HAVE A

  • STATISTIC ON HOW MANY FIRST

  • RESPONDERS SPECIFICALLY PROVED

  • POSITIVE.

  • >> SENATOR SCHUMER'S OFFICE SAYS

  • ARE YOU REJECTING AND THROWING

  • MEDICAID FUNDING FOR NEW YORKERS

  • BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO

  • DELAY THE MEDICAID REFORM UNTIL

  • THE FEDERAL FUNDING RUNS OUT AND

  • THEY CAN'T HURT GOVERNMENTS

  • ESPECIALLY AT THIS TIME?

  • >> SENATOR SCHUMER, IT WOULD BE

  • NICE IF HE PASSED A PIECE OF

  • LEGISLATION THAT ACTUALLY HELPED

  • THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

  • THE PIECE OF LEGISLATION HE

  • PASSED STOPPED THE STATE FROM A

  • PROCESS THAT WAS HAPPENING FOR

  • SIX MONTHS, WHICH WAS

  • REDESIGNING THE MEDICAID PROGRAM

  • TO MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT AND

  • MORE EFFECTIVE.

  • IT WAS CALLED THE MEDICAID

  • REDESIGN TEAM.

  • I ANNOUNCED IT BACK IN JANUARY.

  • THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE DID

  • IT AND IT TAKES WASTE AND FRAUD

  • AND INEFFICIENCY OUT OF THE

  • SYSTEM AND THAT WAS GOING ON THE

  • R ON SINCE JANUARY.

  • THE LEGISLATION HE PASSED SAID

  • YOU CAN'T REDESIGN MEDICAID FOR

  • WHAT REASON, I HAVE NO IDEA.

  • SO IT DISQUALIFIED THIS STATE

  • FROM FUNDING.

  • AND HE KNEW THAT WHEN HE PASSED

  • IT.

  • BECAUSE --

  • >> YOU HAVE A CHOICE.

  • YOU COULD EITHER TAKE THE

  • ADDITIONAL 6 BILLION AND CAUSE

  • THE MRT WHICH IS WORTH 2.5

  • BILLION.

  • YOU ARE NOT MAKING THE 6 BILLION

  • YOU WILL PUSH AHEAD --

  • >> I HAVE NO CHOICE.

  • BECAUSE ON THE -- LET ME -- I'LL

  • TELL YOU.

  • 2.5 BILLION PER YEAR RECURRING

  • IS WORTH MORE THAN 6 BILLION ONE

  • SHOT.

  • I'D RATHER HAVE 2.5, 2.5, 2.5

  • THAN 6 BILLION TODAY.

  • AND I CALLED EVERY CONGRESSIONAL

  • REPRESENTATIVE AND TOLD THEM WHY

  • WOULD YOU WANT TO STOP A

  • MEDICAID REDESIGN THAT'S BEEN

  • GOING ON SINCE JANUARY?

  • I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR

  • POLITICAL YOU CAN LUS WAS.

  • -- CALCULUS WAS.

  • THERE IS NO GOOD GOVERNMENT

  • REASON TO SAY WHY YOU WOULD WANT

  • TO STEP, MEDICAID REDESIGN

  • HEADED BY DENNIS RIVERA, MICHAEL

  • DOWING.

  • TOP PROFESSIONAL IN THE STATE

  • PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY AND THE

  • SENATE.

  • A STATE PAST MEDICAID REDESIGN

  • EFFORT.

  • WHY WOULD YOU EVER WANT TO STOP

  • THAT?

  • I DON'T KNOW WHOSE POLITICS

  • THEY'RE PLAYING.

  • BUT THEY DIDN'T EXHIBIT THE

  • PEOPLE OF THE STATE.

  • >> MAYBE YOU CAN DO THAT NEXT

  • YEAR.

  • WHY NOT TAKE THE MONEY THEY ARE

  • OFFERING BECAUSE YOU NEED IT?

  • >> YOU WANT TO INTERRUPT?

  • >> SO ONE OF THE NUMBERS HERE,

  • THE $6 BILLION WE CAN'T GET IT,

  • NO MATTER HOW YOU ESTIMATE THOSE

  • NUMBERS.

  • IT'S PROBABLY CLOSER TO $4

  • BILLION.

  • THAT ASSUMES THE EMERGENCY IS IN

  • PLACE FOR A FULL-YEAR-OLD.

  • THERE IS NOTHING IN THAT BILL

  • THAT SAYS IT WILL LAST FOR A

  • YEAR.

  • IN FACT, IT WILL END AS SOON AS

  • THE PRESIDENT DECLARES IT'S

  • OVER.

  • SO THAT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME.

  • THAT $4 BILLION IS REDUCED.

  • IF IT'S HALF A YEAR, IT'S TWO.

  • THEN A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF

  • THAT MONEY DOESN'T COME TO THE

  • STATE.

  • IT WENT TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.

  • SO YOU ARE LEFT WITH A NUMBER

  • THAT'S UNDER $2 BILLION

  • POSSIBLY, IF AT MOST.

  • WHICH THEN YOU ARE BASICALLY

  • SAYING TAKE ONE SHOT AT THESE

  • FUNDS, DON'T REFORM THE MEDICAID

  • SYSTEM.

  • SPEND THAT MONEY INEFFICIENTLY

  • ON A SYSTEM THAT UNANIMOUSLY

  • EVERYONE ON THERE UNDERSTOOD WAS

  • NOT WORKING PROPERLY OR WASTES

  • THE MONEY.

  • THE CHOICE IS TO DO IT OR REDUCE

  • THE BILL AND FUNDING TO NEW YORK

  • STATE.

  • THAT DOESN'T GIVE US A FRACTION

  • OF THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE NEED.

  • >> CAN YOU UPDATE --

  • >> THAT'S NOT THE STICKING POINT

  • FOR THE BUDGET.

  • BUT JUST TO SO YOU HAVE THE

  • FACT.

  • IT'S $2 BILLION.

  • TAKE $2 BILLION FOR SURE.

  • RIGHT.

  • DOOR A, DOOR B.

  • FOR SURE OR DOOR B FOR $2.6

  • BILLION.

  • I PICK THE DOOR WITH $2.6

  • BILLION.

  • I LIKE TO LET IT BE.

  • I PICKED 2.6 BILLION.

  • THE REAL QUESTION WITH ME,

  • JIMMY, WHY WOULD DO YOU THAT TO

  • THE STATE OF NEW YORK?

  • WHY WOULD YOU SAY STOP A

  • MEDICATE REDESIGN THAT SAVES

  • TAXPAYERS MONEY THAT HAS TO BE

  • PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY AND BY

  • THE SENATE?

  • WHY WOULD A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

  • SAY I'M GOING TO TRAMPLE THE

  • STATE'S RIGHT TO REDESIGN ITS

  • MEDICATE PROGRAM THAT IT RUNS?

  • THAT SAVES MONEY?

  • WHAT IS -- I DON'T EVEN KNOW

  • WHAT THE POLITICAL INTEREST IS

  • THEY'RE TRYING TO PROTECT.

  • BUT 2 BILLION FURS 2.6.

  • I PICK 2.6.

  • SECOND THE PROBLEM IN THE BUDGET

  • IS THE NUMBERS.

  • WHY?

  • BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

  • WHAT WE THINK ABOUT IS IN THE

  • PREVIOUS BILL.

  • >> TWO BILL ACE GO.

  • >> THE BILL THAT JUST PASSED, WE

  • GET 1.19% OF OUR STATE BUDGET,

  • ABOUT $5 BILLION.

  • WHICH IS 1.9% OF OUR BUDGET.

  • ONLY TO USE FOR CORONAVIRUS

  • EXPENSES.

  • OKAY.

  • 5 BILLION, 1. % ONLY TO

  • CORONAVIRUS EXPENSES.

  • THE FIRST POINT YOU HAVE STATES

  • THAT GOT 10 PERCENT OF THEIR

  • BUDGET, 20% OF THEIR BUDGET IN

  • CORONAVIRUS EXPENSES THAT DON'T

  • EVEN HAVE CORONAVIRUS CASES.

  • WE HAVE MORE CASES THAN ANYONE

  • ELSE.

  • WE GOT THE LOWEST LEVEL OF

  • REIMBURSEMENT IN THE BILL.

  • WHAT HAPPENED TO FUNDING NEED?

  • SECOND, THE FEDERAL BILL HAD NO

  • FUNDING FOR THE FACT THAT STATES

  • HAVE LOST REVENUE.

  • AND SPEAKER PELOSI, GOD BLESS

  • HER, WAS ASKED TODAY HOW ABOUT

  • GOVERNOR CUOMO'S POINT IT DIDN'T

  • DO ANYTHING WITH THE STATES.

  • THE SPEAKER SAID WE HAVE TO COME

  • BACK AND PASS ANOTHER BILL SO WE

  • HAVE A $10 BILLION, $15 BILLION

  • REVENUE HOLE THAT THE FEDERAL

  • GOVERNMENT DID NOTHING TO HELP

  • ON.

  • NOW I HAVE TO DO A STATE BUDGET

  • SO NOW I SAY THE STATE SENATE,

  • BY THE WAY, WE HAVE A 10 OR 15

  • BILLION HOLD.

  • THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR US.

  • NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT.

  • I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.

  • HOW DO YOU DO A BUDGET WITH THAT

  • BIG OF A HOLE?

  • AND REMEMBER THE GREAT HEART

  • BREAK WAS WE WERE ALL WAITING

  • FOR THIS LAST FEDERAL PIECE OF

  • LEGISLATION, BECAUSE WE ALL

  • BELIEVED IT WAS GOING TO HAVE

  • MONEY TO HELP US OUR REVENUE

  • SHORTFALL.

  • AND THEN IT DIDN'T.

  • SO, LIKE THAT SHOCK WAS JUST TWO

  • OR THREE DAYS AGO.

  • NOW WE HAVE TO DO THE BUDGET

  • NEXT WEEK.

  • THE HELP WE WERE WAITING FOR

  • FROM WASHINGTON NEVER CAME.

  • NOW WE HAVE TO MAKE DRASTIC CUTS

  • TO THE BUDGET, LIKE YOU HAVE

  • NEVER SEEN.

  • >> LET ME Q ASK YOU WITH THE

  • TRAVEL ADVISORY, HOW DO YOU

  • ENVISION NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL?

  • I MEAN, BUSINESS TRAVEL FOR MANY

  • IS CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL.

  • YOU, YOURSELF, SAID THE

  • FINANCIAL SECTOR IS IMPORTANT.

  • HOW DO YOU IMAGINE THAT?

  • ARE YOU ASKING PEOPLE NOT TO

  • COME TO NEW YORK TO DO BUSINESS?

  • >> THE SAME DEFINITIONS WE HAVE,

  • JESSIE.

  • NON-ESSENTIAL, IF YOU ARE

  • NON-ESSENTIAL WORKER, YOU

  • SHOULDN'T BE LEAVING YOUR HOME.

  • IF YOU ARE AN ESSENTIAL WORKER,

  • THEN YOU CAN TAKE A BUS, A

  • TRAIN, A CAR, A PLANE?

  • >> SPECIFIC TO THE TRAVEL

  • ADVISER?

  • >> SAME.

  • >> SO SHOULD PEOPLE BE TRAVELING

  • TO NEW YORK?

  • >> SIMILAR.

  • IF THEY ARE ESSENTIAL BUSINESS

  • TRAVELERS.

  • YES.

  • >> IF YOU DID IT, WOULD YOU BE

  • ALLOWED UNDER THE BILL?

  • IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN FIND

  • SAVINGS WITHOUT SHIFTING COSTS

  • TO COUNTY?

  • AND WHAT WOULD THE ACROSS THE

  • BOARD CUTS THAT THEY ARE LOOKING

  • AT THAT ARE POSSIBLE AT TIMES OF

  • A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS?

  • >> WELL, WE DO HAVE FUNDING.

  • THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO WE FUND

  • THE HEALTHCARE COSTS?

  • THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID

  • PROVIDE HEALTHCARE FUNDING.

  • I HAVE $5 BILLION IN THE BILL

  • FOR CORONAVIRUS FUNDING.

  • BUT YOU KNOW EVERY HOSPITAL NOW

  • HAS CORONAVIRUS EXPENSES.

  • SO WE HAVE $5 BILLION FOR

  • HEALTHCARE IN HOSPITALS.

  • IRONICALLY, OUR LAST PROBLEM IN

  • SOME WAYS IS THE HEALTHCARE

  • BUDGET.

  • BSE W RECEIVED $5 BILLION

  • AND THE HOSPITAL VERSUS RECEIVED

  • A LOT OF MONEY.

  • THE BIG PROBLEM IS HOW DO YOU

  • FUND THE SCHOOLS?

  • BECAUSE THE SCHOOLS ARE THE

  • SECOND BIGGEST EXPENSES FOR THE

  • STATE AFTER HEALTHCARE.

  • AND THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE ZERO

  • DOLLARS.

  • >> [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ]

  • >> COULDN'T WE DO SHORT-TERM --

  • THERE THE ISSUE, IS, RIGHT, WE

  • WILL NOT HAVE REVENUE IN THE

  • FIRST QUARTER OF THIS YEAR IN A

  • RESULT OF THE DELAY OF THE APRIL

  • TO JULY 15th, SO WITH NO REVENUE

  • COMING IN, PER THE FEDERAL

  • DECISION.

  • R, WE HAVE TO BORROW RESOURCES

  • TO BRIDGE THAT GAP TEMPORARILY.

  • THOSE REVENUES SHOULD COME IN.

  • THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN THE

  • REVENUE SHORTFALL WHICH IS A

  • RESULT OF HAVING ONLY ESSENTIAL

  • BUSINESSES OPENED AND THAT

  • REVENUE NOT COMING IN.

  • BUT TO BRIDGE THAT GAP, WE'LL DO

  • SHORT-TERM BORROWING AND HAVE A

  • REVENUE SHORTFALL.

  • >> THE ESSENTIAL PROBLEM SO

  • WE'RE CLEAR WHEN YOU HAVE THAT

  • BIG A HOLE THAT HAS TO BE

  • CLOSED, THERE'S TWO THINGS YOU

  • CAN DO.

  • YOU CAN SORT OF PAPER OVER IT,

  • AND COME UP WITH EXPECTATIONS.

  • WELL, WE BELIEVE THE NEXT

  • FEDERAL BILL WILL ACTUALLY

  • DELIVER MONEY TO THE STATE OF

  • NEW YORK P. YES.

  • YOU COULD SAY THAT.

  • AND YOU COULD SAY THAT I BELIEVE

  • THAT SANTA CLAUS IS REAL.

  • YOU KNOW, BUT I'M NOT

  • COMFORTABLE DOING THAT.

  • ESPECIALLY SINCE THE FEDERAL

  • GOVERNMENT JUST PASSED THE BILL

  • AND THAT'S WHAT WE WERE JUST

  • HOPING FOR AND THE FEDERAL

  • GOVERNMENT JUST DID THE EXACT

  • OPPOSITE AND HANDED US A GOOSE

  • EGG.

  • WELL, WE EXPECT THE ECONOMY IS

  • GOING TO REBOUND IN NINE MONTHS.

  • AND THAT IT'S GOING TO BE WITH

  • THE V-CURVE.

  • IT WAS A QUICK DOWN, IT WILL BE

  • A QUICK UP AND IN NINE MONTHS,

  • ALL THOSE REVENUES WILL KEEP

  • COME FLOODING BACK.

  • SO WE'RE GOING TO BE FINE.

  • THAT'S ANOTHER WAY OF PAPERING

  • OVER THE HOLE.

  • I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT HERE.

  • BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

  • AND I DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE IS

  • GOING TO BELIEVE IT.

  • AND I DON'T BELIEVE CREDIT

  • AGENCIES ARE GOING TO BELIEVE

  • IT.

  • AND I BELIEVE POSTPONING A

  • PROBLEM IN GOVERNMENT, IN LIFE,

  • YOU JUST MAKE IT WORSE.

  • YOU JUST MAKE IT WORSE.

  • LET'S NOT DECEIVE OURSELVES.

  • YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET SAVED

  • BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, IF

  • THEY WERE GOING TO DO IT, THEY

  • WOULD HAVE DONE IT.

  • THEY PLAYED THEIR OWN POLITICS.

  • SHOCKER.

  • THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A QUICK

  • DOWN, QUICK UP.

  • YOU ARE LOOKING AT WEEKS OR

  • MONTHS.

  • AND I DON'T KNOW HOW QUICK THE

  • RECOVERY AND THE RECOVERY IS

  • GOING TO BE COMPLICATED AND

  • EVERYBODY SAYS IT.

  • SO I'M NOT GOING TO SAY TO THE

  • PEOPLE OF THIS STATE, THERE IS A

  • THEORY OF ECONOMICS THAT I DON'T

  • BELIEVE.

  • I BELIEVE WE HAVE TO ACTUALLY

  • DEAL WITH THE NUMBERS THAT ARE

  • PRESENTED, BY THE WAY, LIKE

  • EVERY FAMILY IN THIS STATE HAS

  • TO DEAL WITH THE NUMBERS.

  • EVERYBODY'S INCOME IS DOWN AND

  • THEY DON'T GET TO MAKE UP

  • NUMBERS OR MAKE UP A RATIONAL.

  • I'M GOING TO GO BUY A NEW CAR

  • BECAUSE I THINK I'M GOING TO GET

  • REHIRED AT A JOB THAT PAYS MORE.

  • SO I'M GOING TO GO BUY A NEW

  • CONSIDER.

  • I'M NOT DOING IT.

  • THEY CAN'T DO IT.

  • I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT.

  • IT'S GOING TO BE HONEST.

  • I KNOW IT'S POLITICALLY HARD FOR

  • THE LEGISLATURE.

  • I KNOW LEGISLATIVE BODIES THEY

  • WANT TO MAKE FRIENDS BY GIVING

  • OUT A LOT OF MONEY.

  • WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN BEING

  • VERY PRUDENT ECONOMICALLY, OUR

  • SPENDING RATE HAS GONE UP LESS

  • THAN ANY ADMINISTRATION IN

  • MODERN HISTORY.

  • OUR BUDGETS HAVE PASSED AND THEY

  • HAVE BEEN RIGHT.

  • I'M NOT GOING TO CHANGE THAT

  • NOW.

  • SO I'M NOT GOING TO PAPER OVER

  • THE ECONOMIC REALITY AND I KNOW

  • IT'S DIFFICULT FOR THEM.

  • BUT I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT

  • OTHERWISE.

  • I CAN TELL YOU THAT RIGHT NOW.

  • I'M NOT FINANCIAL TO PASS OR

  • SIGN PHONY BUDGET.

  • >> [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ]

  • >> THE SAME POLICY ISSUES WE

  • HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING ALL ALONG,

  • THE MAIN POLICY OBJECTIONS, THEY

  • OBJECT TO A POLICY PROPOSAL THAT

  • I PUT IN, WHICH WOULD BE A BILL

  • THAT IS MEANT TO FIGHT AGAINST

  • ANTI-SEMITISM.

  • ANTI-SEMITISM HAS BEEN A MAJOR

  • PROBLEM IN THIS STATE.

  • RIGHT NOW WE HAVE CORONAVIRUS

  • AND THAT SORT OF ECLIPSES

  • EVERYTHING.

  • WE TEND TO BE MYOPIC.

  • WE'VE HAD DOZENS AND DOZENS OF

  • ANTI-SEMITIC ATTACKS ALL ACROSS

  • THIS STATE.

  • I HAVE BEEN THERE WITH FAMILIES

  • WHO HAVE BEEN ATTACKED.

  • I WAS THERE THE MORNING AFTER

  • THE FIRST NIGHT OF HASN'T KA

  • --

  • HANUKKAH, WHEN A RABBI'S HOME

  • WAS ATTACKED.

  • IT'S NOT ANTI-SEMITISM.

  • IT'S WHAT I CALL ANTI-TERRORISM.

  • IT'S REPUGNANT IN NEW YORK AND

  • AMERICA TO ATTACK SOMEONE BASED

  • ON THEIR RACE, COLOR OR CREED.

  • IF YOU TRY I TO KILL SOMEONE, IF

  • YOU KILL SOMEONE IN AN ATTEMPT

  • TO KILL SEVERAL PEOPLE, BASED ON

  • THEIR RACE, COLOR OR CREED, HOW

  • IS THAT NOT A TERRORIST ACT?

  • YOU KILLED SOMEONE AND YOU WERE

  • ATTEMPTING TO KILL MULTIPLE

  • PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR RACE,

  • COLOR, CREED.

  • THEY DON'T WANT TO PASS THAT

  • BILL AND THERE IS OKAYS TO THE

  • CELIBACY BILL, WHICH WOULD

  • ALLOW, WHICH WOULD HELP

  • INFERTILE WOMEN WHO CAN'T HAVE A

  • CHILD, CAN'T CARRY A CHILD,

  • BIOLOGICALLY, FROM HAVING A

  • SURROGATE SO THEY CAN HAVE A

  • CHILD, IT WAS STOP LBGTQ COUPLES

  • FROM HAVING A CHILD, WHICH IS

  • WHOLLY IRONIC TO ME, WHICH THIS

  • IS THE STATE THAT FIRST PASSED

  • MARNL EQUALITY.

  • NOW YOU SAID TO THAT COUPLE, YOU

  • CAN GET MARRIED, BUT YOU CAN'T

  • HAVE A FAMILY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T

  • HAVE A CHILD.

  • IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.

  • BUT THOSE ARE THE MANE

  • DISCUSSIONS.

  • LET'S GO TO WORK, GUYS.

  • I HAVE TO GO.
