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, QUOTE,Ñii

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

WHY NEW YORK?

WHY ARE WE SEEING THIS LEVEL OF

INFECTION?

WHY CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY?

IT'S VERY SIMPLE.

IT'S ABOUTñrxD DENSITY.ñr

IT'S THE NUMBER OFx$$vq.PL$

YOU CAN BE IN A VERY RURALxD

COUNTY.

PEOPLE THINK NEW YORK, IT'S ALL

NEW YORK CITY.ñr

NO, NO.

WE HAVE COUNTIES THAT HAVE MORE

COWS THAN PEOPLE.

BY ÑiPOPULATION.

YOU CAN BE ANYWHERE.

IF YOU A PERSON WHO IS INFECTED

IN A ROOM OF 200, 300, 400

PEOPLE, NOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

THIS GOES BACK TO THE SPANISH -"

U ADES, OTHER CITIES DIDN'TÑi

CANCEL PARADES.

WE WENT THROUGH THESE NUMBERS

AD THE DECISION WITH

THE ST.Ñi PATRICK DAYÑiÑiç

WHICH BERNADETTE STILL HAS NOT

FORGIVEN ME FOR.

YOU CAN HAVE A PARADEñr IN A

RELATIVELY SMALL CITY BUT YOU

WHERE DO WEñr GO FROMq HERE?çó

REOPENING, WHICH EVRQBODY WANTS

TO DO AND EVERYBODY WANTS TO DO

YESTERDAY.

I AM AT THE TOP OFÑir

AS MUCH AS WEÑi HAVE THISñr EMO,

WE WANT IT TO HAPPEN, WE WANT IT

TO HAPPENÑi NOW AND WE CAN'T TA

THIS ANYMORE.

EVERYBODY FEELS THE SAME.

IT IS A DELICATE BALANCE.

REMEMBER IT HAS NEVER BEENÑi DO

BEFORE.

NONE OF THIS HAS BEEN

BEFORE.

ANYONE WHO SAYS TOÑi YOU, I KNO%

I qKNOW.

YOU DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE NOBODY

KNOWS.

THAT'S THE ONE THING WE HAVE

LEARNED OVER AND OVER ñrAGAIN.

AND THIS PLACE HAS NEVER DONEçó

THIS BEFORE.

áALSO, YOU LOOK ARO,

YOU SEE WARNING SIGNS FROM

COUNTRIES WHO HAVE OPENED.

MYñrñr POINT IS THROUGH OUR TEA

WANT TO LEARN FROM THOSE OTHERx

COUNTRIES.

FRANKLY.

AND I WANT TO BE SURE WE KNOW

FROM OUR STUDYING AND ASSESSMENT

OF WHAT'S GONE ON IN OTHER

COUNTRIES THAT WHAT ÑiWORKED, WT

DIDN'T WORK,ñr ANDÑi LEARN FROM

THOSE LESSONS.

4ñr CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT =

WUHAN PROVINCE, LIT AND SOUTHñr

KOREA, AND SEEçó WHAT THEY DID D

WHAT WORKED AND WHAT DIDN'T t(

WORK.

yñrçóÑi'S 3

WE'LL LISTEN TO THEw3 EXPERTS.

WE'LL FOLLOW THE DATA.

THIS IS A DELICATE BALANCE.

WHAT AREÑi WEçóçó DOING ON REOP?

WE ARE EASING ISOLATION WEÑi WA

TO INCREASE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY.Ñi

THAT WILL HAPPEN THROUG$ñr A REL

ABRASION OF WHATÑi ARE ESSENTIA

WORKERS.

REMEMBER, WE NEVER TURNED OFF

THE ECONOMY, RIGHT?

THE ECONOMY IS STILL

FUNCTIONING.

YOU CAN GET IN YOUR xDCAR, GET

GASOLINE.

yMU CAN GO■!#■ TO THE GROCERY Si

CAN YOUçó SHOP.

YOU CAN GET ON A BUS.

THE ECONOMY IS FUNCTIONING.

WExD NEVER TURNED IT OFF.

WE TURNED IT WAY, WAY DOWN.

AND IT'S JUST THE ESSENTIAL

SERVICES THAT HAVE BEEN

OPERATING, BUT THE ESSENTIAL

SERVICES HAVE ALL BEEN

OPERATING.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING, IN

ESSENCE, ON THEÑi ÑiREOPENING,

RECALIBRATING WHAT IS ESSENTIAL,

RIGHT?

YOU'LL START TO OPEN THAT VALVE

ON THE ECONOMIC ACTIVITYÑi AND

YOU'LL TURN THAT VALVE VERYçó

SLOWLYÑiçóçóÑiÑiçóÑiçóÑiñr REOP

MORE ESSENTIAL ÑiWORKERS.

DO IT CAREFULLY.

DO IT SLOWLYt( AND DO ITñr

INTELLIGENTLY, MOREÑi TESTING A MORE PRECAUTIONS.TpAT THE SAMEñ

OPENING THAT VALVE.

MORE TESTING, SOÑYOU HAVE MORE

INFORMATION ABOUTÑiÑixD WHO SHO

COMING IN.

THE METER IS THE INFECTION RATE,

THOSE DAILY HOSPITALIZATION

RATES AND THERE IS A CAUSE AND

EFFECT.

YOU HAVE DENSITY.

YOTó HAVE MORE PEOPLE INFECTING

OTHER PEOPLE.

■ U WILL SEExD IT WITHIN ApM

OF DAYS IN THEÑi HOSPITALIZATIO

RATE.Ñi

SO, YES,Ñi OPEN THE VALVE xDSLO.

ADVISED BYçEXPERTS.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE METER.

THEÑi METER IS THE ININFECTION

RATE.

ANDçó WATCH THAT INFECTION RATE.

IF YOU SEE THAT INFECTIEnBIQ

UNDERMINING EVERYTHING WE'VE

ACCOMPLISHED THUS FAR, THEN YOU

KNOW YOU'VEw3 OPENEDxD THEÑi VAO

FAST. THATñr ISç'Q DELICATE BALANCE

THAT WE HAVE TOÑi WORK THROUGH.i

ANDçó THAT IS WHATxD HAS NEVER

DONE BEFORE.

AND NOBODY CAN TELL YOU TODAY I

KNOW HOW TO DO THAT, BECAUSE

IT'S NEVER HAPPENED.

FIRST WE COME UP WITH A

REOPENING PLAN.
