Our state health director just gave a blanket prescription for naloxone for the entire state on his authority. Not sure what that means or why. It's the drug that reverses opiate overdoses and is normally carried in police cars.
Another large increase in new cases, and a correspondingly large increase in deaths. Up to 136 now. 10% are requiring hospitalization, and about 10% of those are requiring ventilators. We are now to wear masks which is great because most people don't have them and can't get them. I will probably have to make some today.
NY is rapidly moving to 1/2 of all cases in the US and is currently 7 short of being half of all deaths with 3565. The vast majority of them unsurprisingly are in NYC and the surrounding counties.
