After the second wave peaked with 978 townwide cases on Jan 20, numbers rapidly fell to 453 on Feb. 23, when a "ripple" started which crested with 571 cases on March 9. Numbers have been falling since that date.

Westchester County (or is it New York State) still won't disclose COVID deaths by municipality within the county. We know from the NY DOH website that 2152 Westchester residents have died of COVID an that 2328 are reported as having a "place of fatality" in Greenburgh. I assume much of this gap reflects non-county residents' deaths in hospitals. I don't know how the residency status of seniors in assisted living, nursing home and other adult care facilities are counted. But we do know from DOH data how many residents of adult care facilities died in each town, with Greenburgh having 131 such COVID deaths as follows:
A: COVID confirmed deaths at the facility
B: COVID confirmed deaths out of the facility
C: COVID presumed deaths at the facility
Considering the population proportion of the county living in Greenburgh (about 9.3%), it is probably a reasonable assumption that 131 COVID deaths in adult care facility constitute half or more of all townwide deaths.
