Cuomo says New York 'bent the curve' as new COVID-19 cases keep rising in other states - Reuters

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Governor Andrew Cuomo celebrated a new milestone of declining coronavirus hospitalizations in his state on Thursday as the number of new cases elsewhere in the United States kept climbing, especially in the West and South.

More than 36,000 new cases of COVID-19 were recorded nationwide on Wednesday, a few hundred shy of the record 36,426 on April 24, concentrated on states that were spared the brunt of the initial outbreak or moved early to lift restrictions aimed at curbing the virus’ spread.

The focus of the pandemic has moved to the U.S. West and South, including more sparsely populated rural areas, from the early epicenter around New York state, where more than 31,000 deaths were recorded, more than a quarter of the country’s total.

The numbers in the Northeast dropped after governors imposed severe lockdown measures, some of which remain in place in hardest-hit New York City.

Cuomo said on Thursday that his state reached a new milestone as the number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 fell to 996, the first time since March 18 that the number was below 1,000.

“Together we bent the curve,” he said on Twitter. “And we aren’t stopping now.”

Being from NY State, I followed Cuomo closely over the past few months & he managed to achieve a near miracle.

I heard that the states of CT, NY & NJ are going to establish quarantine restrictions on both returning citizens & visitors from states with a severe COVID problem.

So, with NY state reopening, do you think we will NOT see the virus come back there just like it is spiking in other states?

Is their reopening substantially different from other states (e.g. ones seeing it)?

Or are people much more mindful of CV19 in NY and are better mask-wearers and social-distancers? (I don't recall seeing that during demonstrations but I did not pay much attention for NY vs other cities' comparison in that regard)

I lived in Manhattan in the late 1960s so I know the city & its people fairly well. A New Yorker will wear a mask & observe social distancing while the foolish people in states like FL & TX just assume that the virus has gone away & wasn't a threat anyway, so they got infected in droves. Young people especially believe that they are invulnerable, hang out with some buddies, then go home & infect their parents. New Yorkers saw the refrigerated vans stuffed with corpses & the mass burials on an island in the East River. That don't need to be reconvinced. The people in the S & W need to be convinced the hard way.

I'm hopeful the combined and coordinated efforts between the neighboring states (NY, NJ, CT) and the compliance by their respective citizens will help keep the numbers at manageable levels and provide some relief to all of the struggling businesses. I suspect there will be some spikes, but again, within manageable levels. We'll see how things progress.

You’d be hard pressed to find someone around here (I live in Suffolk about 30 miles from NYC) who doesn’t know someone who got Covid or died from it - I know 3 including one who died. So I expect people will be pretty diligent.

And if not Cuomo has been clear that he’ll put the restrictions back in place if the numbers begin to spike.

What is Cumos long term plan?
Keep everything shutdown until they find a cure for the virus?

It is likely, but NYS has strict testing and metrics for further reopening, and 2 week gaps between going from one phase to another to keep monitoring the situation. My county is having about 0 to 3 new cases a day,with an infection rate of tests to be about .5 percent.
