Its not even close, to stressed yet.
Cuomo said theres 53,000+ hospital beds (and their working towards getting 140,000 beds).
Currently covid-19 only has 7,328 "extra" people hospitalised (in new york state) + 1,755 ICU patients.
New York has had 52,000+ confirmed cases.
7,328 hospitalised (~14,1%) (% might rise in days to come, cuz its early into it).
Shouldn't be a issue yet.
Edit:
Even the ventilator thingy isnt a issue yet.
1755 covid patients on ventilators out of 3000+ (with 4,000 extra in stock).
1755/7000 = more than fine.
^ the sucky news, is that once your on a ventilator with covid-19, your survival rate drops down below 50%.
