Discharges from New York hospitals are already 3 times higher than incoming ones

The coronavirus cases in New York state are already 122,000, but hospital discharges are three more than reported new hospitalizations, according to Governor Andrew Cuomo.

New York State reported 594 coronavirus deaths and 8,327 confirmed cases in the last 24 hours, bringing the number of infected to 122,000 and the deaths to 4,159 since the epidemic began, Governor Andrew Cuomo said today.

“The good news is that the number of patients discharged from the hospital is three times higher than the number of newly hospitalized patients, which reduces the pressure on the health system”, said Andrew Cuomo.

The governor speaks often about the pandemic because more than one-third of all cases in the United States are in his state, and 40% of those who died.

Andrew Cuomo said at a news conference on the site that the rate of deaths has decreased over the past few days. The governor noted that new hospitalizations have fallen by 50%.

Andrew Cuomo said the state of New York may be “too close to the infection peak” or “that peak represents a plateau and we are on it”.

National Health Chief Jerome Adams warned on Fox TV that the hardest is yet to come, but “there is light at the end of the tunnel if everyone does what is expected of him in the next 30 days”.

“Honestly, this will be the toughest and saddest week in the lives of most Americans. It will be our Pearl Harbor, ours on September 11, but it won’t be in a specific place”, said Jerome Adams. “It’s going to happen all over the country. And I want America to understand it”, added he.
