Look at Jamaica Hospital in Queens. All these Patients fighting CoronaVirus

I read they are so low on Nurses that they are graduating some Nurses early from college to help with the epidemic.

Jamaica hospital has a Trump pavilion

Where's that troll that said blacks were immune?

Blacks aren’t immune. They just aren’t getting as severe a strain as whites.

My sister is a retired RN and she got a call begging to come back to work. She is doing phone triage from the comfort and safety of her home to free up other nurses needed on the front lines.

News is down playing this

How do you do phone triage from home?

Why is the virus’s epicenter in queens?

R8 it isn’t. It’s epicenter is Brooklyn. Brooklyn has the most cases followed by Manhattan.

Something has to be done about China and their wet markets.

This is beyond insane.

I hope the majority of people fully recover.

The epicenter is Brooklyn.

Brooklyn

Manhattan

Queens

Bronx

Staten Island

R9, R11 Please see the below link.

Queens now has the highest percentage of total cases for NYC (32%), followed by Brooklyn (26%) and the Bronx (19%). Manhattan is at 17% and Staten Island comes in last at 6%.

Damn. The numbers certainly changed from a few days ago.

Manhattan is filled with tourists that took it elsewhere.

The Bronx is gonna be the next epicenter.

The Bronx and Manhattan aren’t far apart. 🙄🙄🙄

Jamaica Queens is a very crowded and busy area because of the LIRR

Yeah it’s the same population demographics between Manhattan and the Bronx. Same exact crowd.

Seriously r7, you take all cases that are calling in and assign priority. This is a war zone.

Doesn’t look like nothing worse than the flu any more, does it, Americans?

Why can't sick New Yorkers drive 20 or 30 minutes to less crowded suburban hospitals? It might take a little longer to arrive, but they would be seen and treated quicker.

Drive, R20? We don’t have cars you ding dong. We get around on foot or by subway.

R20, the outbreak pretty much started in Westchester, and all suburban hospitals are overwhelmed. One wouldn’t necessarily get better treatment if they travelled to another hospital. NY is already moving non critical patients upstate. You have to realize that the entire state only has 3000 ICU beds. The Jacob Javits convention center will open as a hospital tomorrow with 1000 beds and the Navy ship enroute will add another 1000 beds and 1200 medical professionals.

Right, this is just like the flu. For anyone who still believes this, I hope you get infected and die, but not before you infect and kill your loved ones.

Nurses can go to NY and make $100 an hour. Of course they are dying daily but hazard pay is quite an incentive.

Many of them are getting sick.

Suburban Hospitals are overwhelmed also.

Hazard pay nurses still make much less than a mediocre lawyer. The system is fucked up.

There’s already been a thread on this.

HIPAA violation to film these patients without their consent

Well they are idiots, the patients should be flipped over on their stomachs so they can breathe easier. Stupid American doctors.

Bystanders/regular citizens are not bound by HIPAA.

I’m scared.

Even the virus has limits.
