Well you just listed two things, so those. Beyond that I've listed several times the things I think we should be doing. Having learned from NY's tardiness and mishaps and the successful efforts to climb out of the hole, but more importantly the success of other countries.

Someone can claim their numbers are down because of herd immunity.

People can claim anything I suppose. The best information we have suggests that herd immunity has not taken hold broadly across NY.

The problem with saying it's all about the nursing homes is that hospitals who didn't see many transfers from in nursing homes during the crisis are nevertheless seeing dramatically fewer COVID patients right now. Our main campus has 3 COVID patients in the house today. At our peak we had 100 times that many- all through the ED or transfers from other hospitals. There is just less disease out there right now. This is a good thing. Seems like we should learn something from that.
