Good morning. I’m Rosemarie DeSapio and here is your New York Daily News morning briefing for Friday, April 17. Governor Cuomo extended the state’s shutdown to May 15 as he reported 606 New Yorkers died from coronavirus yesterday. It was the first time the daily death toll sharply declined since the crisis started. The death rate dropped about 20% from the previous day’s toll, a hopeful sign as the city and state seek to “bend the curve” of illness and death.
