The state of New York has been particularly hard hit by the Coronavirus pandemic. However, Governor Andrew Cuomo is growing more and more optimistic about the fact that they are starting to finally flatten the curve. The number of daily deaths went down for the 2nd consecutive time and the number of hospitalizations is also diminishing.

On Monday, Cuomo warned that he wasn’t sure about the fact that the curve was flattening as data could be a “blip” and the figures of the upcoming days would give more indication. However, now Cuomo seems to be even more optimistic to admit that there is a “possible flattening of the curve.”

Cuomo added: “People can’t work any harder, the staff can’t work any harder and staying at this level is problematic. We have been behind on the virus since Day 1 and this virus has kicked our rear end and we underestimate this virus at our own peril. No one has the right to be reckless in our own behavior. Now is not the time to be playing frisbee in the park. Now is not the time to be going to a funeral with 200 people.

Yes I understand grieving, I understand religious services can help with the grieving process, I understand it’s hard not to do that, but as a society, the risk is too great. Enforce the law.”
