melanie malloy. even as she points out that things are better this week at mt. sinai brooklyn where she works than they were last week, this week is better because they're only completely full as opposed to being at 200% capacity in their icu like they were last week. you see her there. she's still sort of, you know, working past the point of human endurance right now. new york city revised its count of the dead today to account for people whose deaths were attributed to covid-19 causes even if they were never lab-tested for the disease, which seems like a pretty sensible recalibration of that data. i think most sharp observers have realized that new york was probably undercounting its dead. the refiguring that the city did today pushed the new york city death toll alone to more than 10,000. that pushed the american death toll overall to more than 29,000 dead. here's dr. dean babich at long island community hospital. >> so corona or covid-19 i think really took us by surprise. we weren't properly prepared, not because of a lack of equipment, lack of ppe, or lack

malloy. let me start with you. this is a little mix of medicine and politics, but when you see hospitalizations in georgia are up, the case counts on a bit of a roller coaster. you might be able to go back two weeks and say the trajectory is going down. that's what the president says, but you have some bumps. if you were advising the georgia governor, would you say go now or would you say wait a little bit? >> if i were providing advice to the governor, i would say that it's time to wait. we don't have the testing in place. we don't have the ability to do the contact tracing that we need to do. we just do not have all of the things that we need in place that meet all of the criteria that have been set forth of how to be able to reopen. so i know that everybody is champing at the bit to get started again, get moving. but we really risk losing all of the gains that everybody has worked so hard to be able to achieve here. >> and when you look at the latest model out of ihme, the university of washington, a model often
