Covid-19 hospitalizations nearly double across New York City

New York City is seeing nearly double the amount of people in Covid-19 hospital admissions, Mayor Bill de Blasio said during Friday’s news conference, referring to the number as “meaningful movement.”

At least 84 people were admitted to hospitals across the city as of June 3, the mayor said, up from 48 admissions reported the day before.

ICU admissions were at 344 Wednesday, which is below the city’s goal of 400, de Blasio said.

The percentage of people that are testing positive for Covid-19 is at 4% and that number is “very good,” de Blasio said.

 

Optimism, not evidence, is driving America’s return-to-work strategy

Temperature screening provides false assurance to employees entering the workplace. One recent study showed that about 70% of patients sick enough to be hospitalized for Covid-19 did not have fevers. Coupled with the fact that most people infected with the coronavirus do not have symptoms, screening for temperatures will miss at least 86% of infected individuals, and likely miss an even higher percentage.

A “barrier” that allows nearly 9 in 10 infected individuals to enter a workplace or business is not one that should be used to provide reassurance to employees.

Hospital beds in DC already near capacity and only 208 contact tracers are in place.
