New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on the 24th that at the peak of the novel coronavirus outbreak, the demand for hospital beds in New York state is expected to reach 140,000, and the current shortage of hospital beds is nearly 90,000. Regarding President Donald Trump's mid-month talk of "rebooting" the U.S. economy, Cuomo said bluntly that "no American will put their life on the line to speed up the economy."

Speaking at a convention center in Manhattan, Cuomo said the rate of pneumonia infections in New York was doubling every three days and the epidemic was expected to peak in the next 14 to 21 days. If the outbreak worsens as predicted, demand for beds in New York State will reach 140,000 at the peak of the epidemic. There are currently only 53,000 beds.

The convention center is being converted into a temporary hospital that will accommodate 1,000 beds when completed.

New York State is one of the hardest-hit areas in the United States. According to data released by Johns Hopkins University on Sunday, as of 15:00 Eastern time on Sunday (3am on the 25th Beijing time), there were 50,206 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States, with 606 deaths. New York State has the most confirmed cases, with 25,665.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday that the United States could become the "epicenter" of the global coronavirus outbreak given the "rapid increase" in confirmed cases.

At present, Trump said in an interview with Fox News Channel in the United States on April 24 that he hoped to see Americans return to work on April 12 Easter and the US economy can be "restarted". The remark drew criticism.

"If you give Americans a choice between public health and the economy, there is no competition between the two," said New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. ". No American will sacrifice his life to speed up the economy."

People in the U.S. market worry that "rebooting" the economy could backfire when the number of cases rises and people worry about going out and getting infected, rush to work. "The market is not going to react well because they know it's not going to work," said David Moakes, U.S. chief investment officer at Merck Investment Group. "From a medical point of view, you have to stop the exponential growth (of COVID-19 cases). To do that, you need to implement policies like 'family order.'"

U.S. legal experts acknowledge that the president has limited legal authority to require citizens to return to work, get cities to reopen government offices, and resume transportation and commerce. Xinhua News Agency features
