Mendoza
Doesn’t think we are anywhere near our peak. Potentially still 6 weeks from now.
Likelihood of opening after Spring Break is next to zero and does not think it is likely to open schools before July.
Warmer weather, but continue with social distancing. Golf is a social sport, and is still risky. It is not a “more safe” sport.

SBA through the Stimulus Bill
2 Million 3.75% business loan, newest round has the first $10,000 grant attached and then possible debt forgiveness.
2.75% not for profit rate.

State Update
Four new FEMA locations, looking to expand into even more facilities to have a 1000+ overflow facility in each of the Burroughs in New York City.
Approved “splitting” ventilators so that two people can go on one unit. Not ideal but workable.
Remember that this is a respiratory illness. People who normally need this are on a ventilator for 3-4 days, COVID patients are on ventilators for 11-21 days.
Working on equalizing the load of patients across the state. Distribute the load between downstate hospitals and upstate hospitals.
Estimate the loss of revenue between $10B-15B in New York State
