US coronavirus: 56 Florida hospital ICUs have hit capacity

CNN  

CNN — The worsening coronavirus pandemic hit a series of somber peaks across the United States on Tuesday, renewing fears that more hospitals could be overloaded with Covid-19 patients. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said Tuesday the death rate among coronavirus patients has lowered but Americans shouldn’t take comfort in it. “It’s one that will save lives, but it will also help the economy enormously because it will avoid shutdowns which will inevitably come when things get quickly out of control in some states.” California hospitalizations at all-time high Nearly 6,000 coronavirus patients are hospitalized in California – the highest number since the pandemic began – and the state is seeing a record number of Covid-19 patients in ICUs, according to data from California Department of Public Health. Michigan governor calls for ‘mask-up campaign’ At least 31 states have showed an upward trend in average new daily cases – an increase of at least 10% – over the last seven days, as of Tuesday morning, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. “I think that if everyone endorsed this, it’s a simple, cost-effective thing that we could do to really mitigate spread,” Whitmer told CNN’s “New Day.” After weeks of health officials encouraging the public to wear face masks, at least 35 states along with Washington DC and Puerto Rico have implemented face covering requirements to help mitigate the virus’ spread.
