Northwell Health CEO: 'Doing Quite Well' in Our New York Hospitals, Mild Illness Isn't 'The Worst Thing' Since It Builds up Herd Immunity

On Tuesday's broadcast of CNN's "New Day," Michael J. Dowling, the President and CEO of Northwell Health, New York State's largest health system, said that Northwell's hospitals are at less than 10% of their overall capacity and well below where they've been in previous waves. Dowling also stated that "There's no crisis" and they'll be able to handle the expected increase in hospital numbers and argued that "if people are not that sick and they're not in the hospital, you're building up herd immunity. So, from that point of view, it's not the worst thing in the world, even though people are -- may not feel well for a couple of days."
