New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has said any realistic scenario about the unfolding outbreak would overwhelm the healthcare system. His state, which has become the epicenter of the U.S. outbreak with more than 37,000 cases and 385 deaths, is scrambling to create more sick beds.

As of Monday it was already four-to-one, she said.Cuomo wants to expand the number of available hospital beds in the state from 53,000 to 140,000.
