Our Shimon Prokupecz is at elmhurst hospital. Shimon, what is the situation there . How is the hospital handling things . Reporter the hospital, obviously, is functioning. You know, one doctor explained to me, anderson, theyre learning tricks to cope with whats going on, and its become the new normal. The entire Emergency Department has basically been converted into covid care. There are some patients within the emergency room that are not Covid Patients, but almost entirely, some 150 patients inside this emergency room has turned into basically a place where Covid Patients are treated. The most serious, obviously, are those that are in Critical Care, that are in the icu, in some cases on ventilators. And whats happening is, is that its just one crowded space, what someone described as just stretchers from head to toe, everyone close together, doctors just trying to work on a lot of these patients in very crammed situations. And the thing is, we heard the governor talk about transfers.
