Doctor: Elmhurst Residents Are Contracting COVID-19 at an Alarming Rate
March 28, 2020, By Michael Dorgan

Elmhurst has become the epicenter of the coronavirus with many residents being infected, according to a doctor who has worked at Elmhurst Hospital for 20 years and has dealt with a flood of patients this month.

The physician, who did not want to be named, said that the first patients to come down with coronavirus and go to the hospital reside in the immediate area.

She said that the hospital soon struggled to keep pace with the influx and most people carrying the virus were sent home because their life was not in danger. Furthermore, this started happening before the city shut down.

She said that many of the infected people would then walk the streets of Elmhurst– some without masks and gloves– and then return to their densely populated homes carrying the virus...

Local Hospital ICUs Nearing Limit as COVID-19 Surges in NYC
By Josefa Velasquez, Ann Choi and Yoav Gonen Additonal Reporting By Rachel Holliday Smith

A key, ever-fluctuating variable in the grim daily calculus facing a city racing against time to treat a rising tide of COVID-19 patients is the number of intensive care unit beds available.

On Thursday, in a city of 8.6 million people, that figure was 307.

Some 850 COVID-19 patients occupied ICU beds in hospitals across New York City that day — up from 525 three days earlier.

The state statistics, obtained by THE CITY, revealed stark numbers that underscored the urgent need for additional hospital capacity as more and more people get sick from coronavirus.

The details came to light as medical centers report being overwhelmed, well before the crisis is expected to hit its peak. State and city officials are scrambling to create more medical treatment space everywhere from CUNY campuses to the Javits Center as they press hospitals to increase the stock of critical care beds.
‘A Decisive Moment’

Without a marked increase in resources, the five boroughs are headed in the next eight days “to a decisive moment for the City of New York,” Mayor Bill de Blasio warned late Friday.

A state hospitalization survey obtained by THE CITY shows that of the 2,011 ICU beds in the city Thursday, just 15% remained available amid a surge of incoming patients...

Long Island overtakes South Korea in total number of COVID-19 cases
By David Olson and Matt Clark
david.olson@newsday.com, matt.clark@newsday.com @DavidOlson11
Updated March 28, 2020 8:38 PM

Long Islanders are more likely to have been tested for COVID-19 than people in South Korea, where aggressive early testing is credited with helping slow the spread of the pandemic there, a Newsday analysis shows.

As of Saturday, Nassau County had tallied 1,058 tests per 100,000 people, and Suffolk County had 812, while South Korea had 752 per 100,000, the analysis shows. New York City had 781.

The types of people tested, the timing of the tests and governmental responses to the findings are factors that may help explain why Long Island on Saturday passed South Korea in the total number of confirmed coronavirus cases, despite Nassau and Suffolk counties having a population 18 times smaller.

The Island’s count has topped 9,600 compared with 9,478 in South Korea, according to New York State and the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center...

NY congresswoman diagnosed with coronavirus days after sharing podium with colleagues


By Steven Nelson

March 30, 2020 | 3:47pm | Updated


WASHINGTON — New York Rep. Nydia Vel?zquez has been diagnosed with coronavirus, just days after she shared a speaking lectern and microphone with dozens of House colleagues.

The Brooklyn Democrat placed an open palm on a shared microphone’s foam Friday morning during debate on the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill, moving the device closer to her face, before draping her hands on a lectern that held her notes.

And a seat occupied by Vel?zquez toward the rear of the House chamber was subsequently filled by a different congresswoman. All Democrats who spoke after her shared the same podium and mic.
