hospitals across america were for a crisis of this magnitude, despite repeated pleas by medical professionals to bolster response plans. joining me now, dr. patrice harris, president of the american medical associations, thanks for being with me today. why were hospitals not better prepared? >> harris, i would say that this current covid-19 pandemic is certainly amplifying the need for a good public health infrastructure and emergency preparedness. i will tell you, in my experience here in atlanta as a former county health official, we did drill with the hospitals and we did have these plans. there will be time for an after action review for each individual hospital, but i think a key area that we need to focus on and may be a force of some of the issues now is the coordination between the federal, state, and local health departments. i think the preparedness plans were there. of course, you never can know how severe an outbreak will be. but i think it's that coordination that will be critical. >> harris: you know, i sense a theme here. we saw this after 9/11. different agencies, of course. we were talking law enforcement, intel agencies, pulling together. both local, state, and federal government.

. >> and a new study published in the journal of the american medical association reveals that 70% of hospitalized covid-19 patients in new york did not have a fever and displayed an unusually wide range of symptoms. what do you make of this? what will it mean in terms of temperature guidelines to determine if people have covid-19? >> right. this is the largest health outcome study in the u.s. so far of covid-19. these doctors looked at 5,700 patients who were hospitalized in 12 new york hospitals in march and early april and what's fascinating is 70% hospitalized did not have fever. people have been turned away from testing centers basically because they didn't have a fever. the cdc was listing fever as one of the top symptoms of covid-19. this starts to change that. we see studies like this one, large ones in the american context and they have to think about resihifting those around fever. it was not surprising but worried that it was people with diabetes, hypertension and they were hospitalized for covid-19. those with underlying health conditions are more vulnerable to severe disease. >> we ke

according to "the journal of the american medical association," 70% of patients sick enough to be admitted into new york's hospital did not have even a fever. why are symptoms all over the map? >> yeah, jake, this new study in "the journal of the american medical association" is the largest look yet at covid-19 health outcomes in the u.s. they looked at 5,700 patients across 12 new york hospitals and found that 70% of patients who were sick enough to be hospitalized don't present with a fever. yet the cdc and other organizations still list fever as one of those top symptoms. and this is worrying because in the u.s., people have been turned away from testing centers simply because they did not have a fever. so study like this one are starting to shift that. to answer your question about why there are so many differences, we're thinking that when you have a situation with such a wide range of disease severity and disease symptoms, this is pointing a lot more to the host's immune system more so than the virus itself. so people with chronic conditions are more vulnerable, older folks are more vulnerable, because of so
