[Just another man]

16078 new cases ( 27% of worldwide new cases reported today)

299 new deaths (10% of worldwide new deaths reported Today)

120k cases total

NYC accounts 1/4 of all U.S. cases

Apex in New York is estimated in 14-21 days from now

[James Thomas Rook Jr.]

To put all this in a reasonable perspective, in NYC, EVERY DAY (2015 data), someone dies of natural causes, which there might include gunshot wounds, every 3.4 minutes, or 420 per day, excluding any coronavirus data.

There are 1,440 minutes in a 24 hour day, so if 67 people died of coronavirus in that 24 hour period,, then there was a death from coronavirus every 21.5 minutes .... NOT very 9.5 minutes, as stated.
