"Wyoming Gov Mark Gordon is still resisting a shelter-in-place order, despite the medical society urging him to and the number of known coronavirus cases roughly tripling in a week.

"15 of the state’s 23 counties now have confirmed cases."

“If we don’t act now, it’s certain we’ll use up available supplies in weeks,” said the head of the Wyoming Medical Society. He spoke after Gordon and urged that the governor adopt the very order Gordon had just expressed opposition to."

"He said it was probably too late to issue the order and have its full effect on blunting the spread of the virus. But it’s better than not having one at all.

'We hope we don’t wait until the ERs are full of gasping people because by then it’s too late'."

Boston Globe editorial board:

"The months the administration wasted with prevarication about the threat and its subsequent missteps will amount to exponentially more COVID19 cases than were necessary. In other words, the president has blood on his hands."

"Catastrophic decisions in the White House have doomed the world’s richest country to a season of untold suffering."

"As the American public braces itself for the worst of this crisis, it’s worth remembering that the reach of the virus here is not attributable to an act of God or a foreign invasion, but a colossal failure of leadership."

Hi, Mr. President -- thanks for tweeting that interview. Gen. Semonite and the Army Corps are indeed doing great work, but at nowhere near the scale that is needed.

We're hundreds of thousands of hospital beds behind, months behind schedule, and...
...we're about to see the number of sick patients surge and hospitals overflow in multiple US sites at once.

This is not an NYC problem or even just a city problem. The apex patient surges will not happen tidily, one after the other, they'll flare up all over, overlapping.
(By the way, did anyone show you the rest of the show from last night?)

"Health officials in NY, California and other hard-hit areas are restricting testing to health workers and people who are hospitalized, saying the battle to contain the virus is lost and the country is moving into a new phase of the pandemic response."

"As cases spike sharply, they're hunkering down for an onslaught, directing scarce resources where they are needed most to save people’s lives. Instead of encouraging broad testing of the public, they’re focused on conserving masks, ventilators, ICU beds."
washingtonpost.com/health/2020/03…
"People with a manageable fever and cough who aren’t at high risk should assume they have it and not seek testing.
Doing so exposes health workers administering tests and uses up protective gear."
