COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)


So, based on those hospitalization and ICU figures in that graphic, roughly 7% of total hospital beds in NY State and 30% of ICU beds are now occupied with Covid19 patients. I have no idea how much of the capacity was already occupied so no telling how much is remaining.

NY state is working on adding additional facilities/capacity, but I have not heard of a time frame. Also the quotes I have heard on these facilities say they are adding beds, but im not sure what sort of care will be available there.

The Comfort will be available at some point, though it is being set aside for non-Covid patients, which is probably a wise move.

I wonder if Toronto or Montreal would be in a position to provide medical aid for non COVID patients to free up capacity. The figures I see for Canada are by province so im not sure about the urban load in those cities.
