The FDA has approved the Yale University School of Public Health "spit test." This is a quick saliva test. Spit into a tube and 5 minutes later a result is shown. It has 90%-95% accuracy. About the same as the nasal swab test. The NBA, MLB and major league soccer have been using this test on thousands of players and staff. This is the kind of test that could be rolled out as a home kit the world over.
Governor Andrew Cuomo releases his evening email to New Yorkers. The state of NY is fairing quite well with record number of testing showing dropping number of cases.
In the past we have posted the coronavirus update from Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York. Each evening the Governor sends out an email detailing the current situation in New York State. In tonight's email the governor is allowing ice cream and liquor now to be manufactured in NY State to help out the dairy farmers. On the flip side 100s of liquor licenses have been suspended of bars not keeping social distancing rules.
A long 5 months has gone by, from winter to spring and now summer. New York City, the hardest hit by the virus in the nation, is now scheduled to open Phase 4 this Monday July 20, 2020. Even so, gyms and movie theaters are not on the reopening list and no one knows when they will come back online.
When traveling overseas and returning to the USA the airlines hand out US Customs & Border Protection documents that need to be filled out upon re-entering the USA. Now, if you fly into any NY airport documents will be handed out and be filled in by passengers arriving in NY about where they came from and where are they going to with current contact information. If the paperwork is not handed in before leaving the airport it's an immediate $2000 fine. This is to be sure people arriving from hot spots quarantine 14 days upon arrival.
A very interesting email from Governor Andrew Cuomo in his daily email update to new Yorkers each evening. Most interesting is that mall can re-open under certain air conditioning requirements. There has been new discussion on the airborne nature of this virus and the vulnerability of ventilation systems.
As the headline states there may be a possible 208,000 more deaths from Covid-19 by November here in the USA. Most interesting is that if 95% of the public would wear a face mask properly and at the proper time that number drops by 45,000.
As COVID-19 cases surge across the country, more and more states are mandating face masks in public places. Next on the list is the state of Kansas. After cases begin to skyrocket chances are all states will require face masks in any public venue. This could last until most of the population is vaccinated.
New York City is expected to enter Phase 3 of reopening on Monday, July 6, but due to concerns about the risk of spreading the virus, indoor dining in NYC will be postponed. As we see states across the country that have opted to reopen indoor dining experience upticks in the infection rate, we want to make sure the same thing doesn't happen in New York. And at this point, we can't rely on citizen compliance or local enforcement alone to manage the risk. The safest option is to postpone indoor dining in NYC.
New York is now experiencing its lowest cases and hospitalizations of COVID-19 patients yet. Phase 3 will start in Manhattan in the beginning of July and the rest of most of the sate with begin Phase 4. Unfortunately, other states are dealing with hot spots and record cases since the virus began. NY is now in a position to help and the Governor of NY is making it known.
