It's no different from New York': Urban centers nationwide gird for catastrophic virus outbreak

In Chicago, the Army Corps of Engineers was preparing to erect 2,500 patient quarters throughout three of the cavernous halls at McCormick Place, the largest convention center in North America.

In Detroit, a major hospital system was readying a letter for patients and their families outlining how scarce ventilators would be allocated, saying those with the best chance of survival would get priority.

And in Albany, Ga., a hospital executive was straining to send patients to other hospitals as the number of deaths doubled in a matter of days at the largest medical center in the southwestern part of the state.

While it ravages New York and metastasizes throughout much of the Northeast, the coronavirus is also quickly bearing down on new hot spots, sending doctors and first responders scrambling to prepare for the onslaught.
