What more can be said? NY State is seeing declining numbers of hospitalizations and deaths. I don’t think you can draw any conclusions about positive tests since the more you test, the more you will diagnose. Actually seeing the number of cases rise but hospitalizations fall suggests that there can be mild illness. But cases across the US are rising. We need to continue to listen to the recommendations of the experts. Social distancing and staying home has worked. This is not over.
