“I am very afraid is correct in his statement.”

I missed part of the presser, but the talking head just said that Coumo said they will need 140,000 hospital beds, not the 110,000 projected, and they will need them in two weeks.

It makes me think of other ways that New York could be the canary in the coal mine.

If New York is in really bad shape in two weeks, how will people across the country respond to that?

New York starts with 53,000 hospital beds...just for reference.

"The governor says it's expected the apex of the outbreak in New York is likely 14 to 21 days away.

"The apex is higher than we thought and the apex is sooner than we thought. And that is a bad combination of facts," Cuomo said.

So far, Cuomo says New York State has procured 7,000 ventilators, but anticipates needing 30,000.

"This is a critical and desperate need," Cuomo told reporters.

The governor says the state will need upwards of 140,000 hospital beds to treat coronavirus patients."

If NY is 14 to 21 days away from the apex of infections, how far is it away from being significantly over capacity? And what will that look like?

I know what my preferred response would be. Build a wall around that sucker

I think it's important to differentiate New York from New York City.

The vast majority of the cases are in NYS and adjacent counties.
