Ah, statistics.
I don't know how many others have to get repeated tests for their jobs but I do
know that Hillary and other actors have to be tested before each appearance on
set, even for consecutive days. They then get tested again on the day of
shooting. Presumably, each of these tests gets reported, with its results. If
enough tests re being done, it would tend to deflate the positivity rate. Eric

Dear Robert,
From the highest positivity rate on the globe, to one of the lowest positivity
rates in the nation, New Yorkers have worked tirelessly to keep their
communities safe and show up for each other throughout the pandemic. With
reopening underway, New Yorkers should be proud of themselves and start living
life again, enjoying all that our beautiful state has to offer—especially now
that it is officially summer. If you haven't already, get your vaccine so you
can safely go forward to make priceless memories with your loved ones.

Here's what else you need to know tonight:
1. COVID hospitalizations are at 485. Of the 58,372 tests reported yesterday,
251, or 0.43 percent, were positive. The 7-day average percent positivity was
0.37 percent. There were 114 patients in ICU yesterday, down four from the
previous day. Of them, 62 are intubated. Sadly, we lost 10 New Yorkers to the
virus.
2. As of 11am this morning, 71.0 percent of adult New Yorkers have completed at
least one vaccine dose, per the CDC. Over the past 24 hours, 31,101 total doses
have been administered. To date, New York administered 20,605,726 total doses
with 63.2 percent of adult New Yorkers completing their vaccine series. See
additional data on the State's Vaccine
Tracker<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnow.ny.gov%2Fpage%2Fm%2F2dedce4e%2F5cbec355%2F4ac31655%2Fd53c389%2F4149722560%2FVEsE%2F%3Fg%3DK9woL8btZKdgJizoxr8SDZA&data=04%7C01%7C%7C7ba904b96d0548bdb1de08d93516e5a1%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637599194724069113%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=%2FmHXWx8omzIfvMtUS%2BT%2FkSqkxWrCV8%2BQtm0aTT7FXgY%3D&reserved=0>.
3. Fourth of July fireworks celebrations will be held at Empire State Plaza and
Jones Beach this year. The New York State Office of General Services and New
York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation are joining
with partners again to
celebrate<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnow.ny.gov%2Fpage%2Fm%2F2dedce4e%2F5cbec355%2F4ac31655%2Fd53c388%2F4149722560%2FVEsF%2F%3Fg%3DK9woL8btZKdgJizoxr8SDZA&data=04%7C01%7C%7C7ba904b96d0548bdb1de08d93516e5a1%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637599194724079112%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=5VDwyYPGfyGRMWAZjxn2Pka82PeXbsLwkv%2Foq0T8Ogk%3D&reserved=0>
Independence Day with fireworks and events from 6-10pm at the Empire State
Plaza, including a pop-up vaccination site from 5:30-8:00pm and at Jones Beach
State Park beginning at 9:30pm.
4. In the third round of the program, Nourish NY has spent $13 million to help
New Yorkers in need. So far, over eight million pounds of raw milk has been
turned into dairy products and distributed by food banks, along with over 3.4
million pounds of produce. Over 7 million meals have been made for households
in need using products sourced from New York farms.
5. Some mass vaccination sites will downscale as the State shifts resources to
local areas of greatest need. Given the statewide progress on vaccinations,
certain State-run mass vaccination sites will begin to downscale and shift
their resources for localized vaccination efforts. Over the course of weeks and
months, a number of sites will downscale based on demand, proximity to other
vaccination sites, and other locally-focused efforts. The transition reflects
the State's plan to focus resources on areas where zipcode data shows the
vaccination rate is lower than the statewide average.
6. Remember, mental health resources are available for New Yorkers who need
them. Even though it's officially summer and New York continues to reopen and
rebuild, we can't underestimate the mental and emotional strain of the
pandemic. New Yorkers can visit

Tonight's "Deep Breath Moment": The Queens-Midtown Tunnel is a great option to
get from Manhattan to Queens by car—but it's an unusual route for a dog. Indie,
a rescue who has been living in the Upper West Side,

Queens-Midtown Tunnel, evading oncoming vehicles. A week later, Indie was
reunited with her owner thanks to the help of fellow New Yorkers who rescued
Indie from a warehouse following her cross-borough journey.
Ever Upward,
