New York hospitals discharge more coronavirus patients than they bring in for four straight days
Hospitals in the state of New York discharged more COVID-19 patients than they admitted for the fourth day in a row Saturday, a sign that the state hit hardest by the novel coronavirus from China may be moving in the right direction, The Epoch Times reported.

On Saturday, state data shows that New York hospitals admitted 574 COVID-19 patients while discharging 1,704. New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the trend "good news" during his Sunday news conference.

New German data show that 15 percent of people in one region have already been infected with CV (remember - more infections is good news, it means the virus is less dangerous) and the fatality rate is 0.37%.

Javits Center and USNS Comfort have a combined 110 patients

NEW YORK — The military-run hospitals at the Javits Center and onboard the USNS Comfort remain mostly empty — so far treating only 110 patients between them, Pentagon officials said Tuesday.
Both facilities were established in New York after Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio begged for federal support last month to manage the spiraling outbreak of the coronavirus, but they have been hampered by logistical and communication constraints, officials said. Javits, the sprawling convention center on the West Side of Manhattan, has a capacity for 2,500 people but so far has 66 patients. The Comfort, the Navy hospital ship docked in the Hudson River, has 44 patients out of a capacity for 500.

After @CBSNews was called out for airing footage of a hospital in Italy and saying it was New York, they apologized and said it was an error.

Less than a week later, they aired the same footage, this time when talking about Pennsylvania.
