While some folks on the national stage, in horrifying fashion, are starting to sound like Harry Lyme , I still hope this update finds you well and staying safe. Even in the best situations, staying home can be quite stressful, but it’s what needed right now. Those who are unable to stay home , THANK YOU!

The reality of this situation becomes more unfathomable every day.

As of now, there 37,258 confirmed COVID-19 cases in New York State , 21,873 in New York Cit y , and 5,705 in Brooklyn. Yesterday those numbers stood at 30,811 statewide, 17,856 in New York City, and 4,656 in Brooklyn.

Due to COVID-19, we now mourn the loss of 385 People in New York State, 281 New York City in New York, and 64 fellow Brooklynites.

People between the age of 18 and 44 account for 44% of all infections, while 34% of those infected are between 45 and 64 years old. The remaining 21 percent of infections are split between 11% of people from the age of 65 to 74, 8% are over 75 years of age, and 2 percent of cases are found in those under 17 years of age. 

 So, again, please STAY HOME!

While home, if you can afford to, support local businesses. If nothing else, these past weeks have shown, while we may not be in the same boat, we’re in this together. Feel free to share the information above and below my signature however you’d like and stay safe.
