87,900 tested statewide.
Obviously those not comforted by the fact LIers have essentially stopped dying of Covid (1 total death over the last 15+ days) are not going to be reassured at that very low test positivity rate.
On the bright side, the NYS public school threshold for physically opening is 5% (over 2 weeks) so we are well within that - if one wants to see kids resume in-person education.
