**NYS COVID TRACKER REPORTS WESTCHESTER COUNTY RATE OF NEW INFECTIONS WAS UNDER 2% A DAY FOR THE LAST 7 DAYS. THE AVERAGE PERCENTAGE OF PERSONS TESTING POSITIVE APRIL 20 TO 27 WAS 1.9%**

WPCNR CORONAVIRUS REPORT. By John F. Bailey. APRIL 28, 2021 UPDATED 3:25 PM E.D.T.:

Daily new cases of coronavirus in Westchester County continue to decline according to the daily NY State Covid Tracker website reports on Sunday and Monday and Tuesday.

The Tuesday figures issued this afternoon show of 7,514 tested, 120 were positive–a percentage of 1.6%. It makes the week from last Tuesday to yesterday the first time since October 24, that Westchester has averaged 1.9% in 6 months.

From Monday to Monday, April 19 to 26, the number persons testing positive daily were

Monday, April 19: 181

Tuesday, April 20: 184

Wednesday, April 21: 216

Thursday, April 22: 212

Friday, April 23: 190

Saturday, April 24: 150

Sunday, April 25: 133

Monday, April 26; 94

TOTAL NEW WESTCHESTER CASES IN LAST WEEK: 1,360

On Sunday, 5,676 persons were tested in Westchester County and 2.3% (133 persons) tested positive.

Monday, 4,966 persons were tested and the number of persons found positive was 94, the lowest daily positive total since October 21, 2020, six months ago, with the positives being a 1.9%, getting back closer to last Saturday’s 1.5%.

The trend of lower infection rates being shown in such small testing universes (5,000 to 6,000 tests) is a very positive trend as the second wave of the coronavirus high tide of infections continues to receed. Another WPCNR observation: the lower testing numbers appear that fewer persons are finding reasons to be tested (such as posible covid symptoms).

Previously lower numbers of persons testing showed higher infection rates than testings of 9,000 to 12,000 persons, indicating the virus was infecting more persons 3.5% infection rates but now infections in small test quanities is showing a 2% infection rate meaning, in WPCNR’s observation that the combination of persons fully vaccinated is lowering the infection rate from the 400 new infections a day just one month ago to under 100 Monday, a 75% decline in the number of cases.

Another positive sign: The hospitalization rate of Westchester patients testing positive appears to have declined to 3% from the 4.3% previously reported in March by the County

County Executive George Latimer said Monday the number of persons hospitalized had declined to 150 in the county.

From April 4 to 10, there were 2,331 new positive cases.

From April 11 to 18 there were 2085 new positive cases.

The total of the two weeks April 4 through April 18 is 4,416. After 10 to 14 days for this cohort, if the number having to be hospitalized in the county was 3%, the county would have 132 hospitalized now, which is 18 less than the 150 hospitalizations reported by the County Executive yesterday. Assuming the 150 is a net of those discharged from having been admitted with covid and those newly admitted. currently hospitaliex The infection rate would be 3%, meaning persons in the two weeks from April 4 to April 18 are not suffering as severely as those previously.

Looking ahead the 1,360 infected with covid in the last week would produce at 3% infections, meaning 41 hospitalizations in two weeks, reducing hospitalizations more

SUPREME COURT WILL EXAMINE NEW YORK STATE “CONCEALED CARRY LAW” DEMANDING PERSONS WISHING TO CARRY A HANDGUN OUTSIDE THE HOME “PROPER CAUSE” TO CARRY A GUN

Posted on April 26, 2021 by John Bailey

WPCNR LAW JOURNAL. From the National Rife Association. April 26, 2021:

The U.S. Supreme Court announced today it will hear an NRA-backed case challenging New York’s restrictive concealed-carry-licensing regime. This sets the stage for the Supreme Court to affirm what most states already hold as true, that there is an individual right to self-defense outside of the home.

This case challenges New York’s requirement that applicants demonstrate “proper cause” to carry a firearm. New York regularly uses this requirement to deny applicants the right to carry a firearm outside of their home. The NRA believes that law-abiding citizens should not be required to prove they are in peril to receive the government’s permission to exercise this constitutionally protected right.

Speaking on the Court’s decision, Jason Ouimet, executive director of NRA-ILA said, “The court rarely takes Second Amendment cases. Now it’s decided to hear one of the most critical Second Amendment issues. We’re confident that the court will tell New York and the other states that our Second Amendment right to defend ourselves is fundamental, and doesn’t vanish when we leave our homes.”

In addition to ruling on this statute, this case will give the Supreme Court the opportunity to clarify the precedent that it has created surrounding the Second Amendment. It has been over a decade since the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to have a handgun in the home for self-defense in District of Columbia v. Heller. In 2010, the court also ruled that the Second Amendment is a fundamental right that applies to the states in McDonald v. City of Chicago.

It is hard to overstate how important this case is. The decision will affect the laws in many states that currently restrict carrying a firearm outside of the home. NRA-ILA is working hard to defend your constitutional rights and is prepared to argue this case in order to protect the rights of Americans everywhere.

The case is called New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen.
