New York Virus to Peak in 45 Days, Taxing Hospitals, Cuomo Says
(Bloomberg) -- New York state will be in desperate need of hospital beds and ventilators soon, and may need more than 12 times the existing intensive-care capacity, Governor Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday.
The state is estimating the numbers of cases caused by the novel coronavirus outbreak will peak in 45 days, at which point it will need between 55,000 and 110,000 hospital beds, as well as 18,600 to 37,200 intensive-care unit beds, Cuomo told reporters in Albany.
The state currently has 53,000 hospital beds and 3,000 ICU beds available, he said.
