New York: Another 12.9K QHPs in 2 days, 2.1x existing March rate

I have to be careful about using this as an actual spreadsheet entry because it doesn't specify the start date, the end date or the QHP/Medicaid breakout, but things are moving so quickly now that I'm not sure how much difference it makes:

According to @NYStateofHealth Nearly 100,000 New Yorkers have enrolled over the last week.

NY State of Health had already reported 717K total enrollments as of 3/23, which had increased to 782K as of 3/28, which accounts for 65,000 of this number (call it 99K since they say "nearly" 100K). Call it 34,000 in the past 2 days.

If the QHP/Medicaid breakout is the same 38% / 62% that the other 65K from last week was (it should be very close to this), that's another 12,920 QHPs in 2 days, or 6,460 exchange QHPs per day.

For comparison, New York exchange QHPs were running at 1,683/day in February and had been running at 3,064/day in March...until now.
