New York now has most cases in USA, 16887, and with most deaths 114. Washington state has 2025 cases and 95 deaths. If as the similar death rate as Washington state (5%), New York would have near 800 deaths in two weeks. New Yorkers must protect themselves, and be careful as virus can stay alive in air for several hours, especially during evening and night. With treating drugs (Hydrochloroquine, etc) are available and best self protections from infection are in place, it is certainly that New York is not another Wuhan or Italy.

USA cases: 34354 (ABC 7), deaths: 414
