The number of deaths in New York State nearly doubled in just three days, to 2,935 on Friday. More people were reported to have died of the virus over the past 24 hours — a total of 562 — than in the first 27 days of March.
In New York City, officials are warning that hospitals are just days away from a “D-Day,” when the caseload overwhelms the system. Specialists who haven’t worked an intensive care shift in years are being pressed into duty.
“It’s hard to go through this all day, and then it’s hard to stay up all night, watching those numbers come in and the number of deaths tick up,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at his daily briefing.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

I found this at the New York Times. New York City is in big trouble and it's going to get much worse.
