(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) New York's New Coronary Pneumonia Cases' Number of Single Day Deaths Declined for the First Time
China News Service, New York, April 5th New York Governor Andrew Como said on the 5th that New York State added 594 new cases of new coronary pneumonia deaths, which is the first single-day deaths since the outbreak of new coronary pneumonia in New York State decline.
On April 2, New York State died of 562 cases of new coronary pneumonia, and 630 died on the 3rd. Como said at a press conference in Albany, the capital of New York State, that in conjunction with the reduction in the number of new hospitalizations on the 5th, these changes may mean that the development of the New York State epidemic will usher in a turning point. But he emphasized that it is too early to draw conclusions, and it is necessary to combine the data changes in the next few days to make an accurate judgment.
Como said that if the epidemic does turn, there are two possible scenarios. One is that the number of new cases and other data continues to decrease after a certain day, which means that the peak of the epidemic has passed; the second is that the new cases and other data no longer rise, but will remain within a certain range and continue for a period of time. The "peak" becomes a "plateau".
At present, there are 1,22031 people diagnosed with New Coronavirus infection and 4,159 deaths in New York State. Como said that the pressure on the New York State medical system is close to the limit, and the medical supplies in stock can last for 3 to 4 days. Because of the emergence of new coronavirus infections among medical staff, there is an urgent need for volunteers to join the medical system. He said that support from other states, enterprises, and the federal government are arriving one after another. On the 5th, 325 military medical personnel will come to New York City to support. The Federation will deploy a total of 1,000 medical personnel in New York State.
New York City Mayor Bai Sihao held a press conference that day and said that New York City currently has 2,865 ventilators in use and has 135 stocks in stock. It is expected that they will be used up within 2 to 3 days. To ensure medical frontline work, New York City needs an additional 1,000 to 1,500 ventilators by April 12. He said that the Federation currently has about 10,000 stocked ventilators and New York State stocks about 2,800, hoping that relevant parties will provide support to New York City as soon as possible. There are currently more than 67,000 infected people in New York City.
According to the "New York Times" report, New Jersey, which is close to New York, has also become a "severely affected area". Statistics from Johns Hopkins University show that there are currently 37,500 infected people in New Jersey, second only to New York State. There is also a shortage of ventilators in the state. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said that New Jersey will fall into New York ’s current predicament in about a week.
According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University, there are currently more than 325,000 New Coronavirus infections in the United States, 9441 deaths and 16820 recovery. (Finish)
