new york, new jersey and michigan. the bay area has 4431 confirmed cases, 118 people have died. governor newsom points to 1.9% drop in the number of patients and hospital intensive care units between tuesday and wednesday as a good sign. it is the first time since the outbreak began that the number of icu patients dropped from one day until the next. the governor is warning that a single 24 hour timeframe is not a trend but it is a good sign. california is also helping first responders and others on the front lines of the pandemic . governor newsom's is a new program that will give vouchers for travel and shelter to healthcare workers as well as discounted hotel room rates is a good thing.>> we will extend those deep discounts directly to w income workers we will provide 100% reimbursements so they are allowed to stay closer to their patients and provide them the opportunity and not to worry about it being out-of-pocket or worry about exposing their families. >> governor newsom set 150 hotels are already part of this is expanding temporary housing for the homepeople. >>> happening today in oakland the city plans to close 74 miles of neighborhood streets to drivers. the goal is giving pedestrians and bicyclists more space to get outside while still social distancing. this emergency measure is called oakland slow streets and it will cover about 10% of all streets in oakland. >>> us stock markets are closed today in observance of good friday and they will resume normal trading hours monday investors hoping the recent surge will continue as st

new york, new jersey, massachusetts, michigan, pennsylvania, california.ne they have the most coronavirus cases. newre than all combined. they are not going to be ready to go yet. wyoming, alaska, north dakota, hawaii, vermont and maine they just have a couple hundred cases each. they can pick up pretty soon, we help. we can already see action opening up this weekend, looking like texas is going to get a head start. jacksonville, florida make the opening things up really soon for strengthening south economic council director, larry kudlow.. please break it down for us these three phases. how is it going to go? larry: first of all, health and safety number one criteria for reopening the economy. i completely agree, we've got to get the economy going again but health and safety, it's going to be datari driven, that's the advice and guidance that our best doctors and scientists are going to give to governors and mayors across the country. the basic idea here is we want 14 day declines, within every 14 days, you've got to see a decline in the volume of new cases. that key. so testing is very important.

news. the flattening, the possible flattening of the curve is better than the increases we have seen. new york is still far away of the most impacted state, new jersey is having real difficulty. michigan also and california has levelled off and louisiana is having a difficult time. they're in our thoughts and prayers. total number of hospitalizations are down. icu admissions are down. and daily intubations are down. those are good signs. the number of charts are down but that reflects the overall reductions and the numbers. big question we are looking at now is what is the curve? we have been talking about cases increasing until they don't. when they stop increasing then what happens? the projected models have a number of alternatives. some suggests that the curve goes up and drops precipitously and some suggests there is a longer pause at the top or a slight pause at the top which is seskt boo effectively a plateau of effect or straight up and precipitous drop which is a peak effect. no one can tell you which will occur. we are studying it as we are using the projection model to determine actually what we do and how do we set policies and programs. we have been working on the numbers
