The Mayor of New York seeks help from the President of the US after the number of patients has been increasing drammatically. The total increase of infected people raised to 75000, and the death toll has risen to 1550.

But now the situation has worsenened as patients are increasing, and the hospitals of New York are unable to fight against the disease any longer. This time they lack to provide treatment to the patients of coronavirus infected person. New York has turned to become the epicenter of the disease and slow the rate of infected people are crossing among the three states. Patients are brought into the hospitals on severe conditions, and it is becoming difficult to provide them the necessary treatment.

About 500 paramedics, 2000 nurses, 250 ambulances, and emergency medical technicians are already moving to provide support against the major coronavirus outbreak stated by the Mayor of New York, Blasio. The health care system will provide significant relief when the hospitals are deprived of treatments due to a lack of medical teams and equipment.

Patients are older, suffering from coronavirus

Old New Yorkers and children are mostly infected because of the disease. Mostly the age groups suffering from the disease are above 60 years. In one ventilator, two patients are provided life support despite the provision; the rise of the infectious disease is not laying any kind of relief to hospitals. The Mayor of New York has been urging Ekhon Musk to manufacture ventilators as looking into the increase of hospitalized positive cases.
