New York rushes to bring in an army of medical volunteers as the statewide death toll from the coronavirus doubled in 72 hours to more than 1,900, while the global number of people diagnosed with the illness edged closer to 1 million on Thursday.

Registered Nurse Elizabeth Schafer, 36, of South St. Paul, Minn., stands for a portrait before entering Beth Israel Mount Sinai Hospital for her second day volunteering to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, Wednesday, April 1, 2020, in New York. Schafer left her home in the Midwest to volunteer in New York where she says the situation inside the hospital is grim. "I took an oath as a nurse to do no harm and just go where I was needed," Schafer said.

”It’s like a battlefield behind your home,” said 33-year-old Emma Sorza, who could hear the sirens from severely swamped Elmhurst Hospital in Queens.“How does it end? And people want answers,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. “I want answers. The answer is nobody knows for sure.” The real figures are believed to be much higher because of testing shortages, differences in counting the dead and large numbers of mild cases that have gone unreported.

In Italy, with the most deaths of any country at more than 13,000, morgues overflowed with bodies and caskets piled up in churches, although experts drew hope that the spread was already slowing in the country. People in Wuhan, once the epicenter of the crisis, are starting to return to work. They are being tracked by a smartphone app that shows if they are symptom free. The app is required to board a subway, check into a hotel or just enter the city.

God bless America, specially medical worker.

Fake news. How about AP reports on the deception and lies coming out of China. Quit protecting the culprits!

Don't understand why we need so many volunteers when the Javits Center and the navy medical ship sit empty with available medical personnel. 1000+ beds. Less than 20 patients. Can't treat covid. Wasted resources. THAT'S the story.
