From New York, the greatest city in the world, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! Today's road stop is at the East River Esplanade in East Harlem, and it's extra special because today's our first full show since our WKRB departure.
Some stories talked about on today's show were:
1. Coronavirus deaths in New York state climbed to nearly 4,200. But there is a slight glimmer of hope the spread is slowing. The state recorded a slight dip in fatalities Sunday compared to the day before. Gov. Cuomo told reporters it was too soon to say whether the pandemic had reached its apex and urged New Yorkers to remain vigilant.
2. A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the new coronavirus. It's believed to be the first infection in an animal in the U.S. and the first known in a tiger anywhere. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Sunday that the 4-year-old Malayan tiger, and six other tigers and lions that have also fallen ill, are believed to have been infected by a zoo employee.
3. With NBA games indefinitely on hold there has been a lot of discussion about postseason possibilities. That includes coaches around the league. If NBA games do resume this season in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic the league may choose to go with the option of immediately starting the postseason.
