I often tweet about states struggling so now, a wonderful success story:

New York

Doing 67,000 tests a day

Finding 670 cases a day

1% test positivity

This is South Korea level. And its awesome

Transmission levels so low NY can, with proper precautions, open schools safely

The blue line is the Southwest. The yellow line is the Northeast.

If the governors are opening hot spots too quickly, say “No”. We want to get to the Yellow Line, not drift above it.
