Hospital bed booths set up by the New York National Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Javits employees line the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center as it is converted into a temporary field hospital to help with bed shortages in the fight against coronavirus in New York City. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said in a briefing this week that the state currently has 53,000 hospital beds and 3,000 ICU beds available, while projections call for the need for upwards of 140,000 to treat the influx of COVID-19 patients over the coming weeks. Reported coronavirus cases in New York, the nation's epicenter of the outbreak, are nearing 45,000 people statewide. | March 27, 2020 | 📷: eduardomunnoz | #GettyImagesNews #GettyImages25 #CapturingthePresent #ImpactingtheFuture #coronavirus #COVID19
