New York omicron-fueled 7-day average of new Covid cases peaked on January 10


Since then its 7-day average has decreased 60%.

“Especially after this wave, the level of exhaustion in New York City cannot be exaggerated, and the level of numbness is quite significant,” said Mark D. Levine, Manhattan’s borough president. He added: “What we have to do now is not pretend like Covid has disappeared, but manage it to the point where it does not disrupt our life.”

An uptick in the 7-day average since mid-March.


With the New York City metro area leading the way.

“The shoulder of the second wave,” said Dr. Ronald Scott Braithwaite, a professor at N.Y.U. Grossman School of Medicine who has been modeling New York City’s epidemic and is an adviser to the city. “We’ve been talking about it for weeks, and nobody can come up with a better term.” 
But the description does underscore one important point: New York’s second wave never really ended. Cases were rising by November, peaked in early January, and after dropping, leveled off more than a month ago.

As of March 7, the Covid Tracking Project is no longer collection new data.

3 Deaths in a Day: An ‘Apocalyptic’ Coronavirus Surge at an N.Y.C. Hospital.  (The New York Times, 3/25/2020)

Elmhurst, a 545-bed public hospital in Queens, has begun transferring patients not suffering from coronavirus to other hospitals as it moves toward becoming dedicated entirely to the outbreak. Doctors and nurses have struggled to make do with a few dozen ventilators. Calls over a loudspeaker of “Team 700,” the code for when a patient is on the verge of death, come several times a shift. Some have died inside the emergency room while waiting for a bed. 
A refrigerated truck has been stationed outside to hold the bodies of the dead.
A White House official is troubled by the rate of infection in New York.  (The New York Times,
Dr. Birx added that 28 percent of tests for coronavirus in the region were coming up positive, while the rate is less than 8 percent in the rest of the country. 
“To all of my friends and colleagues in New York, this is the group that needs to absolutely social distance and self-isolate at this time,” Dr. Birx said. “Clearly, the virus had been circulating there for a number of weeks to have this level of penetrance into the general community.” In epidemiology, the attack rate is the percentage of a population that has a disease. New York State now has an attack rate similar to that of Italy. 

Trump expressed outrage at having to ‘close the country’ to slow the virus.  (The New York Times,
Even as nations from Britain to India declare nationwide economic lockdowns, President Trump said he “would love to have the country opened up, and just raring to go, by Easter,” less than three weeks away, a goal that top health professionals have called far too quick. 
“I think it’s possible, why not?” he said with a shrug. 
Participating in a town hall hosted by Fox News on Tuesday, he expressed outrage about having to “close the country” to curb the spread of the coronavirus and indicated that his guidelines on business shutdowns and social distancing would soon be lifted.
