‘Cardiac calls’ to 911 in New York City surge, and they may really be more COVID cases
Emergency Medical Services, the part of the fire department that runs the citys paramedic response, is currently responding to three or four times its average daily amount of cardiac calls, with each individual call almost twice as likely to involve a death.
According to the FDNY, it means there are more patients calling 911 closer to death, and many more of them dying despite the best efforts of EMTs and paramedics before they ever reach a hospital.
