Oregon faces a shortage of hospital beds for patients with Coronavirus. Dr. Renee Edwards at O-H-S-U says, using the current trends, they will need one-thousand hospital beds and 400 I-C-U beds by April 11th … with the number of patients expected to double every six days. Edwards says Portland hospitals have united to maximize the available number of beds – which helps. But, she says it shows how critical it is to reduce the spread of the virus as patient numbers could soon exceed the capacity of hospitals.
