Coronavirus: Parade and Bagpipes Honor Medical Staff at New York Hospital
Police in Nassau County organized a parade and a bagpipes concert outside Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital to honor medical staff in Oceanside, New York, Wednesday, May 13. ————————— READ MORE: The Long Island hospital had up to 90 patients on ventilators in its intensive care units at the peak of the pandemic. New York is the hardest hit state in the U.S. with more than 340,600 confirmed COVID-19 cases and more than 27,400 deaths, according Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease expert, said Tuesday that the coronavirus death toll in the United States is “almost certainly higher” than the reported 80,000 figure and warned of serious consequences if cities and states reopen too quickly. He told a Senate panel investigating the U.S. response to the pandemic that unaccounted numbers of coronavirus victims, especially in New York City, have died at home without being officially counted in the national death toll, but declined to speculate how many more. Fauci warned that it is “entirely possible” that the pandemic “could become worse” in the U.S. from September to November, but hoped that by then the country “could deal with it” better than it has so far. President Donald Trump has been prodding businesses and state governors to reopen the world’s biggest economy and all but a few of the country’s 50 governors have issued orders in recent days to allow some stores, restaurants and offices to resume operations on a limited basis if precautions are taken. The U.S. has more than 1.3 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and more than 83,700 deaths as of Wednesday. (VOA/AFP) ————————— LINK: https://ift.tt/2SXUlgk
