Some COVID-19 numbers from New York.

For discussion, and all courtesy of the New York State Department of Health via Syracuse.com.

All statistics through 4/5.
New York coronavirus-related ICU admissions since initial cases: 4,380
New York coronavirus-related hospital admissions since since initial cases: 16,602
New York coronavirus-related hospital discharges: 13,325


Minimum time in New York from hospital admittance to discharge: 2 days
Minimum time in Syracuse from hospital admittance to discharge: 11 days
*I tracked this one because there was a lot of commentary only referencing the most severe cases needing 3-6 weeks of hospitalization, and not much other data.


I want to check back in a couple of days as their cases were theoretically peaking tomorrow according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. Just from these numbers hospital usage appears to have peaked on 3/31 at 5,890 beds (admissions to date minus discharges to date).

I like to correct things I get wrong...

or in this case, things based on incorrect information.
The New York Department of Health (state, not city), has altered their data output to show the category formerly listed as "New Admissions " updated to "Change in Hospitalizations". They've removed the "New Discharges" column altogether.
The numbers in the updated category didn't change, which means that instead of peaking in hospitalizations on 3/31, they're still going up, albeit at a much reduced rate (net gain of 290 yesterday, and a drop of 17 in ICU). They have passed 18,000 hospitalized coronavirus patients.

Slight hijack - Good news coming out of the state of Washington

Gov. Inslee just told the army they can start packing up the equipment allocated to the field hospital setup in Seattle. The 250-bed facility, for which setup began on March 30, was intended to help Washington state's health care system tend to non Covid-19 patients in the event of a hospital surge. Total number of patients cared for: Zero
