Cuomo: New York can't handle worst-case scenario
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo warned Thursday that although data suggested the state was "bending the curve," the state cannot handle the “worst-case scenario” if people begin to ease social distancing rules to slow the spread of the outbreak.
“We can’t handle the worst-case scenarios. We can't even handle moderate-case scenarios,” Cuomo said.
Worst-case scenario models show the state could need between 110,000 and 136,000 beds at the peak of the outbreak. About 18,000 people are hospitalized with COVID-19 in the state right now, he said.
Officials are seeing positive signs in New York that indicate the outbreak may be slowing, including falling rates of hospitalizations and intensive care admissions.
But the governor stressed it would be a mistake to interpret the slowing of the outbreak as a sign that people can go back to their normal lives.
