65 used, 535 to go (not counting any currently filled ICU beds).

If the progression in NY holds to the progression we have seen everywhere else, doubling every second day, NY will be out of ICU beds in a week or less.

Tent hospitals?

Manned by nursing students from the local community college and National Guard medics?

Is that 600 for NY City, or for the entire state?

Bear in mind the used ones will eventually open up. Those folks will either die or recover. Either way the bed becomes available.
