There have been a lot of theories recently, about when New York is expected to reach its "apex," or peak number of cases. 

Projections have continued to hover at one to two weeks, but now it has been moved to the end of April. And if you find it confusing and frustrating, you are not alone. 

"We have another month of this," Governor Andrew Cuomo said in his daily press briefing. 

Cuomo explained that as data continues to come in, then model projections change on when New York is expected to reach its apex. As the state starts to feel the effects of social distancing, the number of hospital beds needed could also decrease, but the the apex is still expected to hit at the end of April. 

However, when will this all be over? Cuomo insists no one knows. 

According to a model projection released by the Bill Gates Foundation, it predicts that 93,000 Americans could lose their lives before this is all over. That would include 16,000 New Yorkers. To put that in perspective, 2,996 people passed away on 9/11.

Cuomo says this same model predicts that there will continue to be a high death rate across the country through July. 

“It says it’s a New York problem today and tomorrow it’s a Kansas problem and a Texas problem and a New Mexico problem,” Cuomo explained. 

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases are continuing to rise, bringing the total to 83,712 people infected.

Over the last 24 hours, 391 people passed away from the coronavirus. This means 1,941 people have died in New York from COVID-19.

Cuomo says that the entire hospital system in the state is working together right now to try and handle the growing influx of patients.

Cuomo did confirm there was a one time transfer of hospital patients last night from New York City to Albany Medical Center. He says there is also medical staff that have transferred from upstate to downstate hospitals, but was unable to give a number. The Department of Health will now be in charge of handling transfers.

Since younger people are not following social distancing rules, Cuomo says that the State is closing NYC playgrounds, but open spaces in parks will be allowed to remain open for use.
