A sudden spike in emergency room visits in New York City for breathing difficulties and flu-like symptoms has somehow leveled out over the past few days, just as the daily numbers of new cases of the CCP virus continue to climb.
About 3,300 New Yorkers a day now visit an emergency room (ER) with symptoms such as cough, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and pneumonia. About 1,400 a day report symptoms such as fever, and sore throat. That’s up from about 1,400 and 500 respectively a month ago.
