NY Gov. Cuomo just sounded the biggest alarm on the coronavirus: 'Deploy the Army Corps of Engineers
... And if you don't do it, you know what is going to happen'
Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York on Monday delivered a strong warning about the severity of the coronavirus outbreak.
Cuomo, 62, said the math behind the outbreak had him concerned about the Empire State's hospital system.
"I don't think we're going to be able to flatten the curve enough to meet the demand of the healthcare system," Cuomo said, referring to the exponential growth of the outbreak.

Cuomo said that 40% to 60% and perhaps up to 80% of New Yorkers would likely contract the virus. As of Monday, there were nearly 1,000 coronavirus cases in New York state and seven deaths.
With a population of more than 19 million, New York has only about 53,000 total hospital beds, with 3,200 for people in intensive care.
