It's almost 5pm local time and the NY State website, which says that it is updated before 2pm, still has not been updated today. 🙄

[Halfmiler2]

They are always late and especially on weekends. I can get some NY numbers elsewhere but it is the reason that I have to fill in the last NY numbers late on most days.

When Governor Cuomo was doing daily press. Inferences about Noon, we would get NY numbers early, but no more.

[Halfmiler2]

Late today, The Global cases surpassed 50 million and the USA cases surpassed 10 million.
