  • CELEBRATE EASTER, AND PASSOVER.

  • SECRETARY DE ROSA AND

  • DIRECTOR.

  • LET'S GIVE YOUÑi SOME FACTS, PLN

  • TRUE FACTS.

  • HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS.

  • THE CURVE CONTINUES TO FLATTEN.

  • WE TALKED ALL ÑiALONG, QUOTEii

  • UNQUOTE, THE EXPERTS SAID YOU

  • COULDi] HAVE A HIGH POINT,

  • IMMEDIATE DROP-OFF OR A PLATEAU.

  • IT APPEARS WE HAVE A PLATEAU.

  • IT'S FLATTENING, THE FLATTENING

  • OF THE CURVE.

  • INCREASES SLOW DOWN.

  • ITÑi FLATTENS OUT FOR A PERIOD

  • TIME.

  • NOBODY KNOWS HOW LONG BECAUSE

  • NOBODY HAS BEEN HERE BEFORE.

  • BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF

  • TOTAL ADMISSIONS, 18,000,

  • 18,000, 18,000, 18,000, THAT'S

  • DEFINITELY A FLATTENING.

  • THAT IS GOODÑi NEWS.

  • STILL GOING UP A LITTLE BIT, BY

  • THE WAY.Ñi

  • BUT A BASIC FLATTENING ASÑi

  • OPPOSED TO INCREASING GAPS.

  • THE TOTAL NUMBER OF

  • HOSPITALIZATIONS NET DOWN, A

  • LITTLE BIT UP, A LITTLE BIT DOWN

  • BUT OVERALL JUST FOLLOW THE

  • LINE.

  • DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE

  • DAY-TO-DAY.

  • AS WE SAY, THREE-DAY ROLLING

  • AVERAGE, WHICH IS MORE ACCURATE

  • THAN ANY ONE DAY IS DOWN AGAIN.

  • THE OLD DEMARCATION, REGULAR BED

  • IN THE HOSPITAL IS GONE.

  • ALMOST EVERY BEDñr IS BASICALLYN

  • ICU BED.

  • NET CHANGE IN ICU ADMISSIONS IS

  • ALSO DOWN.

  • INTUBATIONS IS REAL.

  • INTUBATIONS IS THE WORSTñr SIGNi

  • MOST OFTEN DO NOT SQ OFF THE

  • VENTILATOR, 87%, DEPENDING WHOñ

  • YOU TALK TO.

  • THAT'S A SCARY NUMBER.

  • WHEN THAT'S DOWN,Ñi THAT'S çóTj

  • THAT'S GOOD NEWS.

  • WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT THE SPREAD

  • FROMÑi NEW YORK CITY TOñrxDÑi S

  • UPSTATE AND WE'VE BEEN

  • AGGRESSIVE WHEN WE GET A CLUSTER

  • SPOT THAT'S ACTING UP, WE JUMP

  • ON IT.

  • THIS IS=

  • MQI=9NG THROUGH DRY GRASS WITH A

  • THROUGH WITHçó A COUPLE OF xDEM

  • WIND UPÑi ONçONE SIDE OF THE FID

  • AND EMBERSÑi START TO CATCH FIR

  • AND THAT'S A CLUSTER.ñr

  • HAVE YOU TO RUNñr OVER TO THOSE

  • T

  • THEY GROW.

  • YOU SEE THE STABILIZATION THERE

  • ANDçó THAT HAS BEEN

  • THIS IS A NEW TAKE ON ÑiIT.

  • WEçóçóçó TALK ABOUT NETçó g@R&H%

  • HOSPITALIZATIONS.

  • THIS IS THE NEW NUMBER OF çóCOV

  • HOSPITALIZATIONS TO DID DATE.

  • THIS IS HOW MANY NEW ÑiCOVIDçó

  • DIAGNOSES OR PEOPLE WALKING INTO

  • THE HOSPITAL HADÑi çóÑii]COVID.r

  • SO STILL ABOUT 2,000 PEOPLE A

  • DAY ARE WALKING IN OR BEING

  • DIAGNOSED WITH COVID.

  • YOU'RE STILL INCREASING THE

  • HOSPITAL POPULATION.

  • INITIALLY, BY 2,000 PEOPLE WHO

  • WERE TESTING POSITIVE FOR COVID.

  • BUT ONxD THE OTHER SIDE OF THE

  • HEALTH CARE SYSTEM,çó PEOPLE AR

  • BEING DISCHARGED ON THE OTHER

  • END.

  • SO THE NET IS WHAT WE TALK ABOUr

  • BECAUSE WE'VE ALWAYS TALKED

  • ABOUT WHERE YOU POUR THE WATER

  • IN THE GLASS AND THE GLASS

  • OVERFILLS, WHERE THE HOSPITAL

  • SYSTEM HANDLE THE NUMBER OFÑi

  • PEOPLE COMING IN.

  • THAT'S WHY WE'VE BEEN STUDYING

  • THE NET.

  • BUT THIS SAYS TAKE A DEEP

  • BREATH.

  • YOU STILL HAVE 2,000 PEOPLE PER

  • DAY WHO ARE COMING IN TO THE

  • HOSPITAL SYSTEM.

  • AND THE TERRIBLE NEWS IS AS

  • TERRIBLE AS IT GETS AND THE

  • WORST NEWS I'VE HAD TO DELIVER

  • TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE AS

  • GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK AND THE

  • WORST NEWS I HAD TO LIVE WITH ON

  • A PERSONAL LEVEL.

  • NUMBER OFÑi DEATHS IS 161, NOT

  • BAD AS IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST

  • BUT BASICALLY FLAT AND A

  • HORRIFIC NUMBER OF PAIN AND

  • SORROW.

  • 671 PEOPLE WHO PASSED AWAY ON

  • EASTER SUNDAY.

  • FOR ME, I'M CATHOLIC.

  • EASTER SUNDAY ISq THE HIGH HOLY

  • DAY IN MANY WAYS AND ONE OF THE

  • HIGH HOLY DAYS AND TO HAVE THIS

  • HAPPEN OVER THIS WEEKEND IS

  • REALLY, REALLY ESPECIALLY

  • TRAGIC.

  • AND THEY ARE ALLñr IN OUR THOUGS

  • ANDñrçó PRAYERS.

  • THAT RAISES THE DEATH TOTAL TO

  • 10,056.

  • AGAIN FOR PERSPECTIVE, ñr10,270

  • LIVES WERE LOST IN 9/11,çó AND

  • THAT CHANGED EVERY NEW YORKER

  • WHO WAS IN A POSITION TO

  • APPRECIATE ON THAT DAY WHAT

  • HAPPENED.

  • AND THE NUMBER OF LIVES LOST WAS

  • HORRIFIC AFTER 9/11.

  • AND THE GRIEF WAS HORRIFIC.ñr

  • SO YOU, VIRUS, HAS TO STOP AND

  • FOLLOW MY i]RULES?

  • NO.

  • THEÑi VIRUS FOLLOWS ITS OWN

  • BOUNDARIES AND GUIDELINES AND IT

  • DOESN'T HAVE ANY.

  • THE GEOGRAPHIC AREAÑi THAT ISñr

  • ECONOMIC çóAREA, THAT'S THE

  • RELEVANT AREA WE HAVE TO BEçó

  • LOOKING AT.

  • YOU HAVEÑi TO COORDINATE THEÑi

  • SYSTEMS.

  • YOU CAN'T STARTÑi THE ECONOMIC

  • SYSTEM WITHOUT STARTING THE

  • TRANSPORTATIONxD SYSTEM.

  • ANDñr IFÑi YOU CAN'T RUN THE

  • TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM YOU CAN'T

  • OPEN THE ECONOMY.

  • JUST CAN'T HAPPEN.

  • YOU HAVE TOÑi COORDINATE THE

  • SCHOOLS WITH THE TRANSPORTATION

  • SYSTEM WITH THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM.

  • THESE SYSTEMS WORK IN

  • COORDINATION.

  • THEY'RE BIG GEARS AND EACH GEARD

  • INTERMESHS WITH T0Eb OTHER GEAR.

  • YOU CAN'T START ONE GEAR WITH

  • THE OTHER GEAR STOPPED.

  • THAT'S THE COORDINATION.

  • YOU'RE GOING TO NEED SUPPORT AND

  • ATTENDS TOÑi THE NEED.

  • WHEN IS IT OVER?

  • IT'S NOT GOING TO BE OVER LIKE

  • IT'S NOT GOING TO BE WE FLICK A

  • SWITCH AND EVERYBODY COMES OUT

  • UP.

  • I WOULD LOVE TOq SAY THAT IS

  • GOING TO HAPPEN.

  • IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN THAT

  • WAY.

  • IT CAN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY.

  • CAN IT HAPPEN IN SOME

  • COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY

  • WHERE, FRANKLY, THEYi] HAVE VER

  • LOW INFECTION RATES AND THEY

  • COULD COME UP WITH THE TESTING

  • REGIMEN WHERE IF THEY FIND ONE

  • OR TWO CASES, THEY QUICKLY JUMP

  • ON THOSE ONE OR TWO, AND THEY

  • ISOLATE AND THEY TRACK?

  • YES.

  • BUT IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN

  • HERE?

  • NO.

  • IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN IN ANY

  • NO.

  • THERE IS GOING TO BE NO

  • EPIPHANY.

  • THERE IS GOING TO BE NO MORNING

  • WHeRj THE HEADLINE SAYS,Ñi

  • HALLELUJAH, IT'S OVER.

  • THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

  • WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THAT THERE

  • WILL BE POINTS OF RESOLUTION

  • OVER TIME.

  • WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

  • THERE WILL BE POINTS OF

  • RESOLUTION.

  • THERE WILL BE POINTS WHERE WE

  • CAN SAY, WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED

  • YES, WE CAN CONTROLçóxD THE SPR

  • AND WE CAN REDUCE THE NUMBER OF

  • PEOPLE WHO DIE AND OUR HEALTH

  • CARE SYSTEM CAN DO PHENOMENAL

  • WORK.

  • IT HAS NOT OVERWHELMED THE

  • HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.

  • WE HAVE CONTROLLED THE SPREAD.

  • AND THERE IS CONFIDENCE TO BE

  • TAKEN IN THAT.

  • AND THAT'S AN ACCOMPLISHMENT.

  • AND IT WAS A HECK OF AN

  • ACCOMPLISHMENT.

  • THOSE÷ HEALTH CARE WORKERS FOR

  • THE REST OF MY LIFE, I WILL SAY

  • NOTHING BUT THANK YOU TO THEM.

  • I WAS NOT SURE THAT WE COULD

  • KEEP THE TIDE FROMÑi OVERWHELMI

  • OUR HOSPITAL CAPACITY AND WE

  • IÑi BELIEVE WE CANçó NOW START

  • THE PATH TO NORMALCY ANDñrÑi WE

  • YOU CAN GET SICK BUT THEYñr FOU

  • ANÑi ANTIVIRAL MEDICATIONÑiÑiÑiN

  • WHERE THEY ANNOUNCE WE HAVE A

  • TO THE GOVERNOR'S POINT I WAS ON

  • THE PHONE WITH ABOUTçó A DOZEN

  • HOSPITAL SYSTEMS TODAY.

  • AND PEOPLE GET NERVOUS RUNNING

  • OUT OF MASKS AND THINGS LIKE

  • THAT, BUT OFTEN THEY HAVE A çó

  • 30-DAY SUPPLY, 25-DAY SUPPLY AND

  • WE MONITOR THAT ON■i A DAY-TO-D

  • BASIS WITH çóTHEM.

  • IF THEY NEED IT, WE'LL SEND IT

  • TO THEM.

  • >> HEALTH CARE WORKERS ARE

  • SAYING THAT THEY'RE BEING ASKED

  • >> YES.

  • MELISSA SPOKE TO THAT YESTERDAY

  • ON THE VARIOUS PROTOCOLS AND

  • >> THEY HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER.

  • YOU CAN'T OPENÑi ONE SYSTEM, AN

  • ANALOGY AND METAPHOR THAT,

  • DOSF'T WORK FOR ANYONE EXCEPT

  • FOR ME BUT THAT'S OKAY BECAUSE

  • IT WORKFORCE ME.

  • YOU HAVE THREE BIGÑi GEARS,

  • GEARS.

  • YOU CAN'T TEL÷r ME TOçó GOÑi BA

  • W]rIñrçó IN NEW YORK CITY IF YO

  • DON'T HAVE THEçó TRANSIT SYSTEM

  • OPERATING.

  • I TAKE THE TRAIN FROMñrçó

  • WESTCHESTER TO NEW YORK CITY.

  • I CAN'T GO BACK TO WORK UNLESS

  • WE HAVE THE TRAIN, UNLESS YOU

  • WANT EVERYONE TO DRIVE, WHICH

  • WILL BE PANDEMONIUM IN FOUR

  • MINUTES.

  • WHO IS GOING TO WATCH MYEBd@

  • CHILDREN IF THE SCHOOLS ARE

  • CLOSED, ÑiRIGHT?

  • FOR MANY WORKING PEOPLE, THAT'S

  • THE ISSUE.

  • PEOPLE DIDN'T WANT TO CLOSE THE

  • SCHOOLS BECAUSE THEY SAID THEN

  • THE HOSPITAL WORKERS WON'T BE

  • ABLE TO SHOW UP, BECAUSE THE

  • CHILDREN WILL BE AT HOME.

  • AND IF HOSPITAL WORKERS DON'T

  • SHOW UP, THEN YOU HAVE A REAL

  • PROBLEMñjT(UáQ OUR MAJOR FEAR

  • WAS THE COLLAPSE OF THE HOSPITAL

  • SYSTEM.

  • SO ALL Ovr THESE THINGS HAVE TO

  • BE COORDINATED AND THEY HAVE TO

  • BE COORDINATED ON A STATEWIDE

  • BASIS.

  • NOW, LOOK, WHEN I CLOSED ALL THr

  • SCHOOLS IN THE DOWN STATE AREA,

  • THERE WERE MANY SCHOOLÑi DISTRIS

  • DISTRICTS BASICALLY MAKE THEIR

  • OWN ÑiDECISIONS, I KNOW.

  • BUT IN A SITUATIONÑi LIKE THIS U

  • CAN'T ALLOW 700 SCHOOL DISTRICTS

  • TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS.

  • YOU CAN CONSULT.

  • YOU CAN TRY TO COOPERATE, ET

  • CETERA.

  • BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE ONE PLAN AT

  • THE END OF FhG DAY, BECAUSE THEN

  • WE HAVE TO TAKE NEW YORK AND TRY

  • TO COORDINATE IT WITH NEW JERSEY

  • AND CONNECTICUT AND DELAWARE AND

  • PENNSYLVANIA AND RHODE ISLAND TO

  • THE BEST WE CAN.ÑiÑi

  • AND THIS VSMDOESN'T

  • UNDERSTAND SCHOOL DISTRICTÑixD

  • BOUNDARIES.

  • SCHOOLS, TRANSPORTATION, ÑiJOBS

  • THEY DON'T WORK ONÑi A COUNTY

  • BASIS.

  • IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.Ñi

  • SUFFOLK COUNTY IS A NICE
