My neighbor works in a hospital and those are the numbers she gave as well. It is really high

She is sharing hospital info with you?
Yes as long as we dont specify to others who she is or what hospital because it would put her job at risk. She wants people to be informed
 
She should be reported l! I am not providing you with those numbers.

Coronavirus Live Updates: As N.Y. Reports a Record Death Toll, Scientists Warn the Virus Might Not Fade in Summer
New York State now has more confirmed cases than any single country in the world outside of the United States. Congress mulls billions in additional funding. A jail in Chicago is the largest-known source of U.S. infections.
RIGHT NOW
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the United States was re-evaluating its funding to the W.H.O.

New York, the hardest hit state in America, reported its highest number of coronavirus-related deaths in a single day on Wednesday, announcing that another 779 people had died. That brought the virus death toll to 6,268 in New York State, which Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo noted was more than twice as many people as the state had lost in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Yeah there is 40 of those portable trailers
 
Honey, HIPAA presents us from sharing such info. I can’t even tell a co-worker unless there’s a “need to know” reason. It’s the law.
Yes I know, she is just trying to protect her family. She is not telling us individual cases or which patients, just confirming the released data
 
From New York Times 31 minutes ago..
As evidence showed that efforts to reduce the spread were yielding results, Dr. Birx pointed to one of the models used to predict mortality from the University of Washington, which has dropped its estimate to 61,000 deaths from 86,000. She said the model was based on what Americans were doing.

“That is what will change the mortality going forward,” she said.

Dr. Birx’s optimism was seconded by Dr. Redfield. But Dr. Birx also emphasized that while cases seemed to be stabilizing, “there is still a significant amount of disease.”
 
We are beginning to see improvement. Please, don’t panic and continue social distancing, hand washing, and wearing masks. We will get through this!
 
New york state now has more confirmed cases than any country
 
By my calculations almost 1 out of every 100 people in New York state has been infected with Covid 19 so far. That number does not include people that may have it but have not been tested. The population of New York is about 19.85 million.
