An ER doctor who survived Ebola shares the new reality of treating the coronavirus in NYC
The coronavirus pandemic has transformed everyday life in hospitals around NYC.
"Our new reality is unreal" Dr. Craig Spencer wrote in a tweet Thursday night. "The people and places we've known so long & so well have been transformed. Our ERs are ICUs."

Spencer's an emergency-room doctor and the director of global health in Emergency Medicine at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center. He has a unique perspective on the coronavirus pandemic, and has shared what a day in the ER is like amid the pandemic before on Twitter.
After caring for patients with Ebola in Guinea in West Africa, he became New York City's first and only Ebola patient in 2014.
He thinks about that experience as he looks at the tents set up outside his hospital in upper Manhattan. The last time he worked in a tent was in West Africa, he tweeted.
