| New York, the hardest-hit state in the US, on Wednesday reported its highest number of Covid-19-related deaths in a single day with even veteran doctors and nurses expressing shock at the speed with which patients were dying.
Doctors and nurses say it isn’t just the elderly or patients with underlying health conditions who appear to be fine one minute and at death's door the next. It can happen to the young and healthy, too. Despite the grim tally, Cuomo said overall trends still appeared positive. Cuomo cited a drop in new hospitalisations and other data points as evidence that New York was "bending the curve" and gaining some control over the infection rate.
There were more discharges of patients than admissions for two days running, he said, adding: "Hosanna!" The continued test shortages - even for the workers most at risk - is “scandalous” and a serious threat to the patients they treat, said Dr Art Caplan, a professor of bioethics at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
Louisiana is "beginning to see the flattening of the curve" with the number of new cases reported in the past 24 hours - 746 - lower than recent days, governor John Bel Edwards said. Louisiana had been one of the nation's hot spots for the virus.
