“The number of ventilators we need is so astronomical. It’s not like they have them sitting in the warehouse ... there is no stockpile available,” Cuomo said.
NEW YORK - New York state’s hospitals will be overwhelmed under almost any realistic scenario in the coronavirus outbreak and authorities are adding capacity wherever possible to meet soaring demand, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Thursday.
“And since we still have a large number of people on ventilators for a long period of time, the experts expect that number to continue to increase,” Cuomo told a news conference.The governor has become a leading national voice on the coronavirus pandemic as the state has accounted for roughly one-third of the national death toll and half the known number of cases.
“Our goal is to have 1,000 plus overflow facility in each of the boroughs downstate in the counties,” Cuomo said. Of 5,327 coronavirus patients hospitalized in the state, some 1,290 were in intensive care and in need of ventilators, Cuomo said. Tens of thousands of ventilators could be needed, he said.
