THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE GEORGE LATIMER WAS SO RIGHT THIS MORNING, SAYING “COVID NUMBERS ARE CONTINUING TO SOAR.”
WESTCHESTER COUNTY POSITIVES SUNDAY TO SUNDAY FROM SUNDAY JANUARY 11 THROUGH SUNDAY, JANUARY 17 TOTALED 5,886.
AN AVERAGE OF 841 NEW PERSONS TESTING POSITIVE A DAY UP FROM 813 POSITIVES A DAY LAST WEEK AND 783 THE PREVIOUS WEEK IN 3 WEEKS.
IN THE LEADING INFECTION AREAS SINCE LAST CALCULATED ON WEDNESDAY YONKERS DOUBLED DAILY POSITIVES TO 561 SUNDAY.
NEW ROCHELLE CLOSE TO DOUBLED AT 175 NEW INFECTIONS,
WHITE PLAINS DOUBLED INFECTIONS TO 129, UP FROM 67 LAST WEDNESDAY
GREEENBURGH DOUBLED TO 82.
AT A 5% HOSPITALIZATION RATE MEANS THE WESTCHESTER HOSPITAL BEDS RESERVED FOR COVID OF 2,500 BEDS CAN SEE AN AVERAGE 300 A DAY NEW HOSPITALIZATIONS COUNTY WIDE JUST FROM THE NEW POSITIVES OF ONE DAY THAT IS 2,000 HOSPITALIZATIONS IN 2 TO 3 WEEKS.
THIS IS VERY GRIM WILL ADD TO THE 250 A DAY POSITIVES CALCULATED FROM LAST WEEK’S 813 A DAY POSITIVES. THE WESTCHESTER COUNTY POSITIVE INFECTION RATE IS 6.9% FROM JANUARY 11 THROUGH JANUARY 17.
THIS IS DOWN BUT NOT ENOUGH.
AS OF LAST WEEK THE HOSPITALIZATION RATE OF PERSONS POSITIVE WITH COVID WAS 5%.
WESTCHESTER COUNTY HOSPITALS COULD BE STRESSED THROUGH THE NEXT MONTH IF THE HOSPITALIZATIONS CONTINUE AT 5% BASED ON THE POSITIVE NUMBERS THE LAST THREE WEEKS UNLESS THE MEDICATIONS DO THEIR JOBS BETTER ON LESS SERIOUS COVID CASES.
THE COUNTY SHOULD BE THINKING SERIOUSLY ABOUT THAT—WHERE WE MIGHT TO PUT THESE POSSIBLE HUNDREDS OF POTENTIALLY HOSPITALIZED.
