Mark Simone on the voice of New York, 710 W.O.R.

Uh-oh. I have no idea how this is going to work.

We're all in different places today. We're all broadcasting from somewhere else.

Everybody spread all over the tri-state area.

But we'll bring you the latest.

Everything you need to know.

We'll keep you calm. We'll keep you on latest uh everything you need to know we'll keep you calm uh we'll

keep you on top of everything uh get you up to date uh let me just see if we can get the latest

numbers here uh now i i know the numbers are growing every time you see these numbers

they seem to be shooting up that is because there's more testing. It's just a result of all these additional

tests being out there. So it's not that the spread has picked up at all. It's just that the

testing has picked up. Now, you could get, even Mayor de Blasio says, you may get up to 10,000

cases in New York before the end of next week.

That's just a result of more testing.

Most cases are not serious.

In fact, if you look at the numbers of people getting tested, I've been checking into this,

out of the people getting tested, only about 20% are testing positive.

That's not 20% of the population.

That's 20% of those being tested,

which means they're already sick with something.

So in 80% of the cases,

it's turning out to be something else.
