As of Monday, 1,000 people had died in New York. Soon, that number will be 3,000.
The coronavirus is taking lives at a devastating pace in New York, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said, with deaths nearly doubling in just three days, from 1,550 on Tuesday to 2,935 on Friday.
More people in New York were reported to have died of the virus in the last 24 hours — 562 — than in the first 27 days of March.
"It's hard to go through this all day, and then it's hard to stay up all night, watching those numbers come in and the number of deaths tick up," the governor said at his daily briefing in Albany.
On Friday, for the first time, the state recorded more than 10,000 positive tests for the virus in one day: There are now 102,863 confirmed cases in New York State, up from 92,381 on Thursday. New York City has 57,159 cases — nearly a quarter of the confirmed cases in the whole country.
