纽约州州长安德鲁·科莫周日表示，新的冠状病毒数据表明疫情的严重程度正在下降。根据他的办公室最近的影响报告——在诺思韦尔健康中心长岛设施的最新COVID-19简报中分享——自周六的更新以来，单日住院、插管和死亡人数在全州范围内有所下降。
“如果数据成立，如果这一趋势成立，我们就越过了高点，所有迹象表明，在这一点上，我们正在下降，”库莫指出，他指的是纽约的总体冠状病毒曲线。他的评论重申了周日下午早些时候在推特上分享的类似声明，州长在声明中称纽约“现在正从山的另一边下山”在这两种情况下，科莫提醒州居民，冠状病毒数量的持续下降取决于他们遵守社会距离准则的能力。
“现在不是骄傲的时候，也不是骄傲的时候，”他告诉记者室。“我们已经不在高原了，但我们的处境仍然不好。”
科莫宣布，周六有507人死亡，低于之前的数字周五540和630星期四。总数——尽管非常重要——反映了与以前的统计相比，每日死亡报告的逐渐减少。总共有242，786人案例整个州的冠状病毒。
同样，纽约的每日住院率和插管率在过去三天有所下降，周六住院的病人比48小时前少了近800人。科莫称这是“好消息”，但承认该州每天都有新的住院病例报告，数量惊人。在周六和周日的新闻发布会之间，州长说全州大约有1300名冠状病毒患者入住医院。
除了保持社会距离的措施，科莫还讨论了该州未来的感染管理计划。从下周开始，纽约卫生部将开始管理抗体测试全州的居民。该测试旨在根据某些抗体的存在来确定个人是否感染了冠状病毒。至少在一段时间内，带有可检测抗体的个体可能对这种疾病有一定的免疫力。由于许多人可能携带和传播病毒而没有表现出症状，科莫说，广泛的抗体检测将为州官员提供“第一个真正的快照，什么是真正的处理。”
周日上午早些时候，纽约市市长比尔·白思豪在自己的冠状病毒新闻发布会上也转述了他的办公室应对疫情的最新方法，包括建立统一的受害者身份识别系统，让居民报告因COVID-19而失踪的亲人。
市长在一份声明中说:“在这个危机时刻，我们会不遗余力地帮助纽约人。”。“对那些悲伤的人:我们看到你，我们听到你，我们在这里帮助。”
根据约翰·霍普金斯大学的追踪报告，截至周日早上，全球已确诊超过230万例冠状病毒病例。这些病例中大约有三分之一是在美国确诊的，美国报告的感染率比185个受该疾病影响的国家中的任何一个都高，并且长期以来一直被认为是疫情的全球中心。纽约、新泽西、马萨诸塞州、宾夕法尼亚州、加利福尼亚州、密歇根州和伊利诺伊州的诊断率、住院率和死亡率都是全国最高的。
在周日举行的最新冠状病毒简报会上，州长安德鲁·科莫表示，最近的数据表明，纽约已经度过了冠状病毒爆发的高峰期。
正如科莫在周日的冠状病毒通报会上所讨论的那样，受美国疫情打击最严重的州将面临重大挑战，因为该国正寻求恢复经济部门，以应对疫情曲线的下降。与马里兰州州长拉里·霍根一起，科莫最近向国会提交了一项法案，将直接向各州提供5000亿美元的联邦援助。
“每个人都在说，‘好吧，该由各州提出重新开放的计划了。这取决于州长。这是真实的、正确的和合法的，但是各州的州长必须有资源，”库莫周日说，他呼吁联邦政府优先考虑并授权这些资源如果你不帮助州政府和地方政府，那我们怎么让财政重新开放？”他继续说道。
提到共和党参议员的反对，这将阻止白宫的下一个刺激计划——寻求支持小企业贷款计划，为医院提供额外资金和扩大测试——向各州提供任何援助，德·布拉西奥敦促唐纳德·特朗普总统进行干预一系列推文共享周日下午。
他写道:“事情就这么简单:你可以在下一个刺激计划中介入并为你的家乡而战，或者你可以拒绝保护纽约人。”。“总统先生，如果你不帮助美国最大的城市纽约重新站起来，你就可以告别你的经济复苏了。”
新泽西州报告的冠状病毒病例和死亡人数在美国位居第二，仅次于纽约。截至周日下午，国家根据其追踪者已经确认了超过85，300例诊断和大约4，200例死亡病例。周四，新泽西州长菲尔·墨菲全州学校停课时间延长
CUOMO SAYS NEW YORK'S CORONAVIRUS CURVE IS DESCENDING, BUT 'IT'S NO TIME TO GET ARROGANT' ABOUT PROGRESS
New York's new coronavirus figures suggest an ongoing downturn in the outbreak's severity, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Sunday. According to his office's most recent impact report—shared during its latest COVID-19 briefing at Northwell Health's Long Island facility—single-day hospitalization, intubation and fatality counts have decreased statewide since Saturday's update.
"If the data holds and if this trend holds, we are past the high point and all indications, at this point, are that we are on a descent," Cuomo noted, referencing New York's overall coronavirus curve. His comment reiterating a similar statement shared to Twitter early Sunday afternoon, in which the governor said New York is "now descending the other side of the mountain." In both instances, Cuomo reminded state residents that a continued decline in coronavirus numbers hinges on their ability to adhere to social distancing guidelines.
"It's no time to get cocky, and it's no time to get arrogant," he told the press room. "We're not at the plateau anymore, but we're still not in a good position."
Cuomo announced that 507 new deaths were reported Saturday, down from 540 on Friday and 630 Thursday. The totals—while extremely consequential—reflect a progressive decrease in daily fatality reports compared to prior statistics. Overall, there have been 242,786 cases of coronavirus throughout the state.
Similarly, New York's daily hospital admission and intubation rates have decreased over the last three days, with almost 800 fewer patients hospitalized on Saturday than there were 48 hours earlier. Cuomo called this "good news," but acknowledged that the state continues to report new hospitalizations in staggering volumes every day. Between Saturday and Sunday's news briefings, the governor said approximately 1,300 coronavirus patients were admitted to hospitals statewide.
In addition to maintaining social distance measures, Cuomo discussed the state's infection management plans moving forward. Starting next week, New York's Department of Health will begin to administer antibody tests to residents across the state. The test aims to determine if an individual has contracted the coronavirus based on the presence of certain antibodies. It is possible that individuals with detectable antibodies may have some immunity to the disease, at least for a period of time. Being that many people could have carried and transmitted the virus without exhibiting symptoms, Cuomo said widespread antibody testing will provide state officials with "the first true snapshot of what were really dealing with."
During his own coronavirus news briefing earlier Sunday morning, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also relayed his office's updated approach to addressing the outbreak, which includes the creation of a Unified Victim Identification System for residents to report loved ones who may be missing as a result of COVID-19.
"We are leaving no stone unturned to help New Yorkers in this time of crisis," the mayor said in a statement. "To those who are grieving: we see you, we hear you, and we are here to help."
More than 2.3 million coronavirus cases have been confirmed worldwide as of Sunday morning, according to Johns Hopkins University's tracker. Roughly one-third of those cases were diagnosed in the United States, which has reported a significant higher incidence of infection than any one of the 185 countries touched by the disease and has long been considered the outbreak's global epicenter. New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, California, Michigan and Illinois have experienced the highest diagnosis, hospitalization and death rates nationwide.
During his latest coronavirus briefing on Sunday, Governor Andrew Cuomo said recent figures indicate New York has passed the apex of its coronavirus outbreak.
As Cuomo discussed during Sunday's coronavirus briefing, states that have been hit hardest by the U.S. outbreak will face significant challenges as the country looks to restore its economic sector in response to the descending outbreak curve. Alongside Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, Cuomo recently introduced a bill to Congress that would provide $500 billion in federal aid directly to states.
"Everyone is saying, 'Well, it's up to the states to come up with a reopening plan. It's up to the governors.' And that's true and right and legal, but the governors in the states have to have resources," Cuomo said Sunday, calling on the federal government to prioritize and delegate those resources. "If you don't help the state government and local government, then how are we supposed to have the finances to reopen?" he continued.
Referencing pushback from Republican senators that would prevent the White House's next stimulus package—which seeks to bolster loans programs for small businesses, offer additional funding to hospitals and expand testing—from providing any aid to states, de Blasio urged President Donald Trump to intervene in a series of tweets shared Sunday afternoon.
"It's as simple as this: you can step in and fight for your hometown in this next stimulus package or you can turn away and fail to protect New Yorkers," he wrote. "Mr. President, if you don't help New York City — the nation's largest city — back on its feet, you can kiss your economic recovery goodbye."
New Jersey has reported the second-highest incidence of coronavirus cases and fatalities in the U.S., behind New York. As of Sunday afternoon, the state according to its tracker has confirmed more than 85,300 diagnoses and about 4,200 deaths as a result of the disease. On Thursday, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy extended statewide school closures through at least May 15. During his daily coronavirus conference the following day, Murphy said students may need to wear protective masks in classes if they do return to school next month.
