and then more rain expected Saturday afternoon with a high 51. Sunday rain in the forecast a high

58. Marty cloudy this hour 44 at W.O.R. That's our news. Next News 1030, breaking news at once.

I'm Noam-Layden on 710 W.O.R. and NBC News radio station. There's real nice signs in those

numbers. The rate of hospitalization is

dropping. Dropping. Now you're going to see the numbers spike up a little more here in New York.

That's not that it's spreading more and more. It's that there's testing more and more. We're

now doing 16,000 tests every day here in New York. And usually you get about an 18% test positive. So you'll

see them spike, but you'll notice the spike is slowing. So in New York, it's getting under control.

I know you keep hearing there's not enough beds. There's not enough ventilators. There's not,

it's all getting fixed. That's all getting straightened out. 4,000 ventilators have arrived from Washington. 4,000 more are on the way. The Javitt Center is getting set up. Those are FEMA hospitals. They bring their own equipment, their own masks, their own gowns. Shortage of masks, shortage of gowns. It's all getting produced. A lot of private companies have jumped in.

You've got 3M that makes the masks, now going 24-7, turning out millions of them.

But you've got private companies.

You know, my pillow started making masks.

They have the factories to do that.

There's a mattress company in New Jersey, started making masks.

People are donating

them. The construction industry, they use the same mask. They've got about 20 million they can donate.

Silicon Valley donating 5 million masks. So everything's getting under control. Speaking of

ventilators, there's a couple of developments going on. Somebody, a company in Connecticut, has figured out a little trick you can do to those ventilators,

which would enable them to do four people at once.

They're testing that in Connecticut.

See how that works.
