Monday evening’s latest numbers — 3,008 deaths and more than 160,000 confirmed infections in the U.S.— come as cities across the nation struggle find adequate health care for patients.
In New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles, mayors and governors are working on alternative hospital arrangements. In Illinois, there are plans to convert Chicago’s McCormick Place Convention Center — the largest conference center in North America — into a care facility that will be able to accommodate up to 3,000 coronavirus patients.
In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has pleaded with nurses and doctors across the country to travel to his state to help with the outbreak, so long as the situation in their state isn’t dire.
