For now, @NYGovCuomo keeps the balance of #BePreparedNotPanicked. He is keeping the public informed and is resisting mass closures. Even in New Rochelle, Westchester that has a cluster of cases, Cuomo is focused on crowd limitation; not a mass lockdown. I hope it holds.
I did'n't know this from the headlines (of course not because it will reduce panic), but buried in a NYT item about crowd reductions in New Rochelle is that @NYGovCuomo announced it Tuesday but it goes into force Thursday. This gave people 36-48 hours for palnning. That's good.
I hope that if there will be any mass lockdowns as in Italy, government leaders such as @NYGovCuomo @BilldeBlasio and the @CDCgov (cc @VPPressSec) will give people enough time to prepare. A good 72-96 hours. This will be chaotic enough, but any narrower window will be MAYHEM!

BREAKING! OH believes they have already 100K Coronavirus cases but they don't have 1,000 deaths from it; which would be a 1% death rate. They don't even have 100 deaths which would be a 0.10% death rate.

HUGE NEWS!
2/3 Some people claim that Corona deaths start 7-10 days into the virus. If OH believes it has now 100,000 cases it sure had 20K cases 10 days ago. Do they have 200 deaths? That would be one percent. Do they have 20 deaths? How about 20 severely ill patients about to die?
3/3 am trying to give context and full numbers. I am not sure why so many people either want to shut it out or want to see the worst in all numbers. Italy shows that a small uptick in hospital use is bad news. It doesn't show that everyone is getting AND also dying.

96% of those tested for Corona in South Korea don't have it.

Their #CoronaVirusDeathRate is of the lowest (0.84%) because they tested most.

BUT: They are only at 200K completed tests in a country of 50 million. Test a million within weeks and look at the death rate then.
We are operating with clown math which goes as follows: "#CoronaVirusDeathRate is HIGH so OMG if the case load rises exponentially, then there will be X deaths." But HELLO! The rate is high because there are so few tests/diagnoses so LOADS of cases are not in the count! Consider:
South Korea has 66 deaths out of 7,869 cases. They tested 200K. If they tested 5 times more, their case load will be 5 times larger: 39,345. Their 66 deaths would remain the same since severe cases are anyway in the count. Thair death rate would be 0.16% of cases; not 0.84%.

203 DEATHS A DAY

This is the number in a mild-to-average flu season in the US. (37,000 deaths over 6 months. Many years it is 60K).

Context? TOTAL #CoronavirusUSA deaths as of now is 31.

Point? #BePreparedNotPanicked. Shutting down live and crashing the economy makes no sense.
GM Panicked America. It's 11 days since an infected person made the rounds at CPAC and there still isn't a mass contagion from it. You know why? For the same reason that 96% of those tested in South Korea for Corona do not have it. #BePreparedNotPanicked
#BePreparedNotPanicked here means reduce exposure to large crowds, avoid touching public surfaces, wash hands often, be ware of the raw Corona numbers and also how it compares/contrasts to other viruses. Also, buy foods/goods for two weeks in case gov decides to lock you down.

We are implementing new emergency measures in New Rochelle, which has the biggest cluster of #Coronavirus cases in the state.

Starting on Thursday for 2 wks, there will be a containment zone with a 1 mile radius around the site of the most cases in New Rochelle.
Large gathering places & schools in this area will be closed for 2 wks, starting Thursday until March 25.

NY is partnering with Northwell Health to open a satellite testing facility there.

We will deploy the National Guard to deliver food to homes & help clean public spaces.
These new emergency measures come at the recommendation of Health Commissioner Dr. Zucker.

The State will work with impacted schools to ensure any child who currently depends on food assistance programs will continue to receive those benefits during this 2-week period.

We are very encouraged by the current trend. There have only been 3 cases in the past week, and no cases in the past 3 days"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros "But until we have no #Ebola cases for 42 days, it's not over. Any single case could re-ignite the epidemic, and the security situation in eastern #DRC remains extremely fragile"-@DrTedros
