The state reported 422 deaths as of Thursday. That’s the fewest since March 31, when it recorded 391 deaths. More than 16,000 people have died in the state from the outbreak.
“Again, this is at an unimaginable level, and it’s dropping somewhat. But it’s still devastating news,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at his daily briefing.
The total number of people hospitalized statewide continues to drop slowly, hitting 14,258, though the number of new patients coming into hospitals is basically flat at around 1,300, Cuomo said.
Though the overall trends provide some hope, the governor continued to stress that any gains could be lost quickly if social distancing restrictions are relaxed too quickly.
“How fast is the decline, how low is the decline?” Cuomo asked. “Again, the variable is what we do.”
So at what point can we say its safe to reopen? Is it zero deaths? Zero hospitalizations? Over how many days?
Are we looking for a curve inversion? If yes what’s the required downward slope thats needed? Or do we want zero?
Is there ever a breaking point where you say its more danegours to stay closed than open? Cure worse then the illness? Is there ever such an inlfection point?
