The most important data to look at when judging if it is time to loosen restrictions on physical distancing is the hospitalization usage. This is not available for Westchester County. The verbal reports state that it is dropping, just like the state utilization shown below. Westchester hospitals (despite being one of the hardest hit areas in the world .... 3% confirmed cases) were never more than 35% full.
All other metrics continue to improve. Deaths were at their lowest number since April 5 (orange line).
New Cases were at their lowest since March 21 (red line).
All of the NYC Metro area continues its slow burn out of the disease. Despite over 6 weeks of enforced social distancing, over 20% of tests are positive. The virus has shown how contagious it is. The
latest study shows that 25% of NYC Metro area have antibodies.
