Cuomo said he planned to bring in additional funeral directors to deal with the fallout of what he characterized as a “silent explosion” that has sent “ripples through society” and represented the “same evil” that terrorized New York in 2001. He said total hospitalizations were trending at about 18,000, well under the state’s current hospital bed capacity of 90,000, but stressed that more dire models had predicted that New York could see hospitalizations of 110,000 or more.
