It’s been one month since New Jersey recorded its first coronavirus case. Since then, almost 650 residents have died and roughly 30,000 have tested positive for the virus — a total that only reflects a sample of patients experiencing symptoms
At least nine New Jersey hospitals have reported to the state Department of Health that they don’t have enough ventilators to treat all of their patients, Persichilli said Friday. While the state has so far been able to divert machines to those facilities, its current supply won’t be anywhere near enough when Covid-19 hospitalizations inevitably spike.
On Thursday, Murphy toured the first of four expected “pop-up” hospitals at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus — about two miles from the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel. The hospital was constructed with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to hold 250 non-coronavirus patients. On Friday, Persichilli said the administration may have to reassess that plan, given the number of coronavirus patients who’ve already flooded the state’s hospitals.
Roughly 3,000 patients — representing 12 percent of the total hospitalizations in the state — have tested positive for the virus. A similar number are suspected of having the virus, but have yet to receive test results.“I had thought in the beginning it would be 50 percent,” Persichilli said. “We are planning for every critical care bed, a ventilator. We have to break down how many are in critical care, how many are not, but 41 percent is to me, a number that we can work with.
New Jersey also began working to source PPE from China, Taiwan and Germany, where Murphy served as ambassador during the Obama administration.
