While @NYGovCuomo is right there is an increasing number of total cases in New York, 6k+ is less than 9k+.

We should welcome that trend, especially coupled with the less than expected rate of hospitalizations.

Yes, we have hospitals in need of supplies. Save those tweets.
Now @NYGovCuomo is complaining the federal government didn't bailout state budgets.

This is getting out of hand. CARES Act had $250B 4 HC!

Governors are asking the feds to do their jobs on so many levels, to cover their failures as state executives. From ventilators to budgets.
Governors from both parties have allowed state budgets to become unrealistic and irresponsible.

This is why numbers needed to balance.

It was always an illusion. Budgets can't spend more than they bring in. Times like this, and the worse times to come, will be a reality check.
"There are more cases reported today in New York than there are in all of Italy."

That's a flawed fear-mongering comparison.

Italy is weeks ahead of us and their curve is coming down over the last several days.

New cases today in New York are 4+ less than the daily + for 3/24.
Big media — to include Fox News, which is where that comment came from — are headline-driven. They are not reporting good information in context and continue to do a terrible disservice to this country.

The biggest headline today is that numbers are way off Imperial College.
Here is the latest from JHU on New York, which we take with the numbers @NYGovCuomo just released at the press conference.

Again, rate of new cases in bottom right graph. BIG 10k spike on 3/24. But it's 6k+ today (not reflected in graph).

We should welcome that significant ↓.
