positive information, factual information.

Transition words & phrases

So people have to have a realistic basis to act upon rather than listening to the hype that if you turn on cable TV, that deal here we have now been testing around the clock because, you know, um, we are aggressively testing following up leads because we want to find this many people who test positive so we can get them out of circulation.

So a total of 76 in the state of New York.

Right now we have 11 in New York City, 57 in Westchester County, two in Rockland County, Foreign National County and two in Saratoga County, too in Saratoga County are obviously knew.

The additional numbers are seven additional in New York City from yesterday on 23 additional in Westchester.

The 23 cases in Westchester are all related to the New Rochelle situation.

Seven in New York City to people got over Cruise ship five appear to be community spread of one of those people is in a hospital in the rock cores in Saratoga.

The 21 is a 57 year old pharmacist, wonders the 52 year old woman who was in contact with a positive person from Pennsylvania at a conference in Miami.

And that brings the total for Westchester to 57 cases.

Westchester is an obvious problem for us.

They talk about the continue gin in clusters, and then the clusters tend to, uh, in fact, more and more people.

So obviously you want to pay special attention to those situations.

I spoke with the county executive of Westchester County, George Latimer, the mayor of New Rochelle, known Branson Congresswoman Nita Lowy.

I spoke with Senator Leader Andrea Stewart, Cousins about this on the respective health commissioners.

We already said that we would close the essay, our school and the Westchester Day School and the West.

They were supposed to close until March 14th.

With this new information, we may need to reset that quarantine period.

We're checking out to see if one of the new cases was in proximity with people, uh, later than the initial setting of the quarantine.

Quarantine is 14 days from the last possible exposure, right?

So with these new cases, is there a possibility that there was an additional later exposure.

So this possibility of those quarantine period's may be extended.

We're also going to instruct that nursing home, senior living and situations in that immediate area of New Rochelle will suspend outside visitors again.

The nursing homes are the most problematic setting for us with this disease.

So we're hyper cautious about nursing homes, assisted living facility, senior housing, et cetera, and where now doing a census of those types of facilities in this immediate New Rochelle area to put that position in place.

There's been some reports that people who are involuntary quarantine or not following the voluntary quarantine when we say you are on precautionary quarantine, that is a serious situation.

We are assuming that you will act in good faith and that you will be following the rules of voluntary quarantine.

Uh, people who are on voluntary quarantine are issued specific rules.

Violating those rules is first, I think, disrespectful to members of the community.

It doesn't honor your responsibility as a citizen, and you could be putting people in danger.

So even though it's called precautionary quarantine.

We expect you to comply with it if you do not comply with it.

And we know that people are not complying with voluntary quarantine.

There are other measures that we could take s so please respect the voluntary quarantine order.

Also, price gouging continues to be a problem.

I want businesses to be aware that you could lose your license for price gouging.

It's not just price gouging is price gouging in an emergency situation where you were being exploitive of the public and their specific legal provisions for price cap gouging in an emergency situation, I went through this during Superstorm Sandy.

We have a customer hotline number at 1 806 97 12 20.

We have reports of stores selling hand sanitizer for $80 a bottle.

For the few dollars that you're going to make during this situation.

The State Police is doing an investigation.

I've asked local police departments to also do investigations.

And you will be caught a SZ faras the this fearmongering with selling of masks on e bay, Facebook, et cetera.

I did cases his attorney general where those were tracked back the stolen property.

I think eBay and Facebook should play a more constructive role here.

I understand freedom over the Internet, Freedom of the Internet.

Yeah, but it's not supposed to be selling stole stolen products.

And I think eBay and Facebook are basically on notice that when you see these masks, the's a medical mess masks.

You know, the person did not manufacture these in his or her basement.

So I would ask eBay in Facebook without getting into a whole philosophical argument about freedom of the Internet.

Corporate citizens and police, uh, your own websites and what you're offering people.

Ah, a couple of other points on the federal aid.

I spoke to Congresswoman Nita Lowy today As I said yesterday, I don't believe the supplemental appropriation bill provided enough funding for New York New York.

We're probably spending at the rate of about of rough estimate, $30 million per week right now.

That's without taking into consideration capital costs for purchasing of equipment, potential testing costs, reimbursement the local health organizations.

So I told the Congress woman just that $35 million is nowhere near sufficient.

The Congresswoman also knows my general feeling that New York has been getting the short end of the stick from this federal government from day one right across the board.

They won't approve the Second Avenue subway next phase.

They won't approve the AirTrain from LaGuardia Airport.

They won't approve the gateway tunnels coming from New Jersey.

So, uh, and then they took this gratuitous action of ending a global Troll Traveller program toe extort and exploit us into actually providing access to the D M V database because they want the undocumented drivers.

So these were all gratuitous acts on at one point.

She worked with my father actually before.

She got us the funding for the Tappan Zee Bridge.

She's very effective as a legislator, and I went through the situation with her and she said, This is just a starting point and she will work deliberately to make our case to the federal government.

And if she gets a chance in subsequent legislation, O.

A subsequent opportunity to amend this legislation that she would take that into consideration.
