Bethany Bump reports in the Times Union that Columbia County Public Health Director Jack Mabb said he's concerned about patients from downstate hospitals being moved upstate, and how that could impact local hospitals. "My job is to be concerned about Columbia County residents, and if somebody needs a ventilator and all the ventilators are full at the local hospital...I’d have to say I’m concerned about that," he said in an interview on WGXC March 30. Mabb said it may be that non-COVID-19 patients are moved upstate. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has repeatedly said that patients may be moved upstate or downstate, depending on where there are available beds. Last week Columbia Memorial Hospital chief medical officer Clifford Belden said the Hudson hospital can "very rapidly" boost its staffed bed capacity by 65 percent, and with "some additional help" from the state, the hospital could "go well beyond" that number. Usually Columbia Memorial has six to seven ICU beds. Mabb also said the Pine Haven Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Philmont had one elderly resident died from COVID-19 over the weekend and currently has five confirmed cases. Two are hopitalized, and three others are being treated at the home in an isolated wing.
