New York Governor "Only 6 days left for ventilator" April 9:24
In the United States, where the cumulative number of patients exceeds 230,000 and is the highest in the world, the Governor of New York states that the respirator stock is "only six days away" He claims that he will not be able to save. Concerns have also been raised over the midwest and southern states that the surge in patients will not stop, and that medical institutions will be unable to keep up.
According to a summary of Johns Hopkins University in the United States, which collects information on the global infection status, 230,000 people have been infected and more than 5,600 people have been killed in the United States.
Governor Cuomo said in a press conference yesterday in the eastern New York state, where the number of infected people is the highest, "If the number of patients continues to increase at this rate, the stored respirator will bottom out in six days." Complained that the patient's life could not be saved.
He said that even if the outbreak could be stopped, "the situation could last until summer," he expressed concern that the number of patients could continue for a long time.
In the United States, meanwhile, the number of patients is increasing rapidly not only in and around New York State, but also in the Midwest and South. Especially in southern Louisiana, the number of patients has increased by more than 40% per day to over 9,000.
Of these, 20% are hospitalized, and beds and respirators are running short. For this reason, we are planning to put a bed for 1,000 people at the event venue in the big city New Orleans and accommodate patients who are recovering from a serious condition.
Concerns are also growing in midwestern Michigan, southern Florida and Texas that the number of patients is soaring that medical institutions are unable to keep up.
