New York City's Elmhurst hospital is now receiving fewer patients

A doctor at Elmhurst hospital in Queens - the coronavirus 'epicenter of the epicenter' in New York City - said on Tuesday that fewer patients are coming in but those who do are more severely sick.

Dr. Eric Wei, the vice president of New York's Health + Hospitals system, spoke at a press conference with Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday where he said the positive cases of Elmhurst are surprising.

Patients are coming into the ER with sore throats, sore chests, fevers and coughs, expecting to test positive, but test negative whereas others, who come in for other ailments, test positive by chance. He gave the example of car accident victims who are tested after going through CT scans which reveal the pneumonia in their lungs.
