WPCNR COVID DAILY. Statistics from NY State Covid Tracker. Observations & Analysis by John F. Bailey. May 5, 2022:
Westchester County experienced its largest day of positives Wednesday since January 27 of this year when it was coming off the covid 4th and largest wave and it reported 569 new infections that day.
Sadly, the number of 513 infections of new persons with covid, also matched up with the 548 new positives Westchester had December 14, 2001 when that fourth wave was just beginning. That is very ominous as we enter an “Anything Goes” behavior mode.
If the 569 infection level a day continues through Saturday, Westchester will hit 2,653 infections through Saturday well above the 2,649 experienced through April 30. However the pattern of these last five weeks indicates that Thursday, Friday and Saturday escalates infections. Last week we had 1,214 infections the last three days of last week If we hit that level or exceed it Westchester could conceivably hit 3,867 infections for this week.
All the counties in the Mid-Hudson Region are experiencing high daily growth rates. Covid is spreading strongly in Orange,. Rockland., Dutchess and Ulster County, averaging 291 new positives yesterday. The infection rates on the low number of tests done in Orange, Rockland, Dutchess and Ulster are an average 7-1/4 % positives of the low numbers of tests.
The Mid-Hudson Region WPCNR COVIDSTOPPERS NOTE BOOK shows the Mid-Hudson region of 1,252 infections over our 7 counties is dwarfed by Nassau County with 906 new positives Wednesday and Suffolk County new positives of 742 – 1,648 in a day, 400 more than the Mid-Hudson counties. Nassau & Suffolk have been the leaders in infections for months proportionately ahead of the 7 Mid-Hud counties.
New York City Wednesday reached 3,476 new positives across the 5 boroughs, when on Sunday NYC reported only 1,971. Wednesday was the second straight day that all 5 boroughs totaled 3,000 new positives. As of the end of testing Wednesday, NYC had 11,043 new cases. This week at 3,000 new infections the next three days, NYC can report as many as 20,000 new positives. The media, our political leaders, are whistling past the graveyard, crossing their fingers and betting your health.
The irresponsible mantra repeated by the media that covid is in retreat is simply not true. What data is there to prove that? It’s not there. This is the sixth consecutive week in Westchester where we are going to increase in infections.
It is not spreading less. It is spreading more. Who does not see that? The infections by my observations are infecting others more quickly, within 2 days!
The rush to public gatherings under the guise of getting “back to normal,” should be called “getting back to making money at the people’s peril.”

WESTCHESTER AIRPORT MASTER PLAN PLANNING GETTING UNDERWAY WITH “ON THE HORIZON”
Hits: 356
WPCNR COUNTY CLARION-LEDGER. From the Westchester County Department of Communications. May 5, 2022:
Westchester County Executive George Latimer is reintroducing a community engagement program, On the Horizon, to hear from the public on the future of Westchester County Airport.
In February 2020, Latimer first launched the Program to support the Master Plan Supplement for Westchester County Airport.
After the COVID-19 pandemic put the project on hold for more than two years, Latimer is once again opening up a County-wide discussion to listen to the concerns of residents, community organizations, the business community, environmental activists and more. Together, Latimer is hoping to create a new vision for Westchester County Airport.
Latimer said: “Westchester County Airport is just one project that unfortunately came to a screeching halt with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but my administration is committed to completing a thorough evaluation of airport operations and its impacts, and a robust community engagement program.
“Whether you use the Airport to fly with your family to Florida, to pick up your parents who are visiting for the winter, or you use the Airport for business travel, we need to hear from you. Our goal is to engage everyone the Airport touches – our homeowners, business community, environmental groups, community organizations and more – a balance I am confident we can achieve. We look forward to having the public be an integral part of this process moving forward, and together, we will ensure the Airport evolves as a valuable, transportation resource.”
The Master Plan Supplement Community Engagement Program, called On the Horizon, includes a series of public events such as town halls. The Master Plan Supplement will focus on analysis of the Airport with respect to the physical condition of the Airport property, buildings and infrastructure, additional analysis of noise and environmental impacts and the local and regional economic impact of the airport. This analysis will be used to develop a vision for the Airport in the future.
The On the Horizon Town Halls on Westchester County Airport are as follows:
Tuesday, May 24 at 6 p.m.
Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University
78 N. Broadway, White Plains, NY 10603
Thursday, June 2 at 6 p.m.
Manhattanville College
2900 Purchase St, Purchase, NY 10577
Thursday, June 9 at 6 p.m.
Mercy College
555 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry, NY 10522
Director of Economic Development Bridget Gibbons said: “The Airport plays a significant role in the economic development of the County. This Master Plan Supplement and the feedback from the business community will be vital in shaping a vibrant economic landscape in Westchester County in the years to come.”
Director of Energy Conservation and Sustainability Peter McCartt said: “Westchester County understands the importance of protecting the environmental resources surrounding the Airport. We look forward to developing a deeper understanding on how to continue balancing Airport operations and environmental concerns in the future through the Master Plan Supplement and Community Engagement Program.”
