>> WE KNOW SO MANY OF YOU HAVE A LOT OF HEALTH QUESTIONS. JOINING ME NOW IS THE SENIOR MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF INFECTION CONTROL AND HOSPITAL EPIDEMIOLOGY AT BETH ISRAEL MEDICAL CENTER. GOVERNOR BAKER SAID HE EXPECTS THE NUMBER OF CASES TO START SEARCHING. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN APRIL 7-17. HOW ARE YOU PREPARING? >> WE WILL EXPECT TO SEE MANY MORE CASES IN PEOPLE WHO ARE ABLE TO BE MANAGED AT HOME AND THOSE WHO NEED TO COME IN FOR CARE. MORE PEOPLE COMING INTO THE HOSPITAL. WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE MORE BEDS. >> IS THERE ANYWHERE TO KNOW -- ANY WAY TO KNOW HOW LONG SOME KIND OF SURGE WOULD LAST? >> IT IS HARD TO KNOW RIGHT NOW. WE ARE PROBABLY LOOKING AT A LOT OF CASES. >> ABOUT 20% IS IN THE 50’S. WHO IS MOST VULNERABLE? HOW IS THE SPREADING? >> IT IS INTERESTING THAT WE SEE MORE CASES OF THAT AGE GROUP. WHAT IT IS TELLING US IS THAT EVERYONE IS ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS A NEW VIRUS. WE DO NOT HAVE IMMUNITY. PEOPLE OVER 65 ARE THE ONES WHO ARE BECOMING MORE CRITICALLY ILL. >> IF YOU POINTED THIS OUT TO US, WE THOUGHT, I DON’T KNOW. WE ARE STARTING TO SEE IT IN MOSQUITOES. CAN IT BE TRANSMITTED IN MOSQUITOES? >> I DON’T THINK WE KNOW THAT YET. WE DON’T KNOW IF IT CAN BE TRANSMITTED THAT WAY. IT IS LARGELY A RESPIRATORY VIRUS TRANSMITTED THROUGH RESPIRATORY DROPLETS. >> GOOD POINT AND GOOD INSIGHT
