There is no present shortage of intensive care unit beds or ventilators in New York, according to Dr. Deborah Birx, a senior member of the White House coronavirus task force.
Birx made the comment during a White House briefing on March 26 in response to discussions in the media about the possibility that the state’s healthcare system may be overwhelmed by patients infected by the CCP virus.
