An emergency room doctor on the front lines of New York City's coronavirus outbreak has offered a harrowing look inside Elmhurst Hospital Center, where 13 people died in the span of 24 hours this week. Footage recorded by Dr Colleen Smith on Tuesday shows rows upon rows of beds filled with critical COVID-19 patients hooked up to ventilators. Scenes from outside the 545-bed public hospital in Queens show hundreds of people lined up waiting to get treated and tested, with the queues growing longer each day.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, 55, has coronavirus: PM tests positive for disease after developing a cough

Figures show that a week after the tenth death New York's toll doubled nearly every 1.5 days; the worst-hit region of Italy, Lombardy, saw a doubling every three days. Cases have also accelerated at a faster rate in the US, than in Italy

1,000 American troops would be stationed within 20 miles of the Canadian frontier, between official border checkpoints, and use sensor technologies to detect irregular crossers, Global News reported. Under this proposal, the US military - which shares continental defense responsibilities with their Canadian counterparts — would advise American border agents who would be sent to intercept them. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau discouraged militarizing the border. 'Canada and the United States have the longest unmilitarized border in the world and it is very much in both of our interests for it to remain that way,' Trudeau said. 'We have been in discussions with the United States on this,' he told a news conference, without giving details.

Los Angeles recorded its first case of coronavirus five weeks before New York City, yet it's New York that is now the U.S. epicenter of the disease. Public health officials are keeping a wary eye and warning that LA could end up being as hard hit as New York in coming weeks, in part because a planned increase in testing may uncover a dramatic surge in cases. Testing in Los Angeles County is expected to increase from 500 per day to 5,000 by the end of the week. 'I would love to be able to say with all certainty that's where we're not going,' Los Angeles Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said when asked about New York's numbers. 'We would be foolish not to prepare for a similar scenario here in LA County.' Los Angeles County, which contains its namesake city of 4 million people plus an additional 6 million residents, had just over 1,200 cases and 21 deaths.
