During the performance, two elderly nurses were singing mask less while a majority of the younger nurses wore matching face masks.
... Although the media keeps spreading tales that the hospitals are being overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients, the CEO of Northwell Health tells a different story.
Michael Dowling, the president and CEO of Northwell Health, released a statement saying, “Northwell hospitals are not overwhelmed.” Dowling continued in his statement,
“There is simply no benefit to unnecessarily scaring people away from scheduling vital routine care.
Delays lead to worsening patient outcomes.
We are nowhere near the critical state we were in during the first wave of the pandemic in the early spring of 2020.
Thankfully, most people now contracting the virus are simply not as sick.
If those who do test positive can manage their symptoms—without a hospital stay—that’s a potentially positive step toward reaching herd immunity.”
"We're doing very, very well.
Very manageable.
There's no crisis.
We have about 460 patients in our hospitals.
That's less than 10% of our overall capacity."
