hospitalizing 19% of them and killing at least 12, state officials announced
Tuesday, adding that the number of cases will continue to rise as the state
receives more test results.
The state is scrambling to expand its hospital capacity to handle an influx
of cases before infections peak here, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a
press conference in Albany. New York currently has 53,000 hospital beds and
3,000 ICU beds, far short of what state health officials are predicting will
be needed, he said. They estimate the state will need between 18,600 to 37,
200 ICU beds and at least 55,000 hospital beds at the peak of the outbreak
across the state, which he predicted will take about 45 days.
“That, my friends, is the problem that we’ve been talking about since the
beginning of this exercise,” Cuomo said.
The fast-moving virus has spread to more than 183,000 people across the
globe, killing more than 7,100, since emerging from Wuhan, China less than
three months ago. The number of cases changes by the minute. State officials
are revising their data throughout the day, Cuomo’s spokesman William
Burns said.
At the beginning of the press conference, Cuomo said the state had more than
1,300 cases with a hospitalization rate of 19%. New York state Health
Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker updated the numbers about 30 minutes into the
briefing, telling Cuomo there were now around 1,700 cases across the state.
Cuomo’s data, according to Burns, was current as of 6 a.m. and Zucker’s
updated numbers will be revised later Tuesday. | c**********0 发帖数: 836 | 3 不是说测得越多,重病率越低吗。怎么重病率还是这么高。
