NEW YORK _ Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday that New York state's coronavirus "curve" continues to flatten, even though another 752 New Yorkers died from the infection overnight.
Speaking at his daily briefing from Albany, Cuomo said it's "almost disrespectful" to suggest it's "good news" that only 752 lives were lost in a 24-hour span.
But, even with New York's COVID-19 death toll now standing at 11,586, Cuomo said the "terrible'" numbers must be considered a depressing step in the right direction.
"The painful news of our reality day after day, and they are in our thoughts and prayers," Cuomo said. "But you see the terrible news, it's basically been flat over the past several days."
He added," You see a flattening of the curve."
