As the numbers of deaths from coronavirus in the US continues to rise, some state leaders say there's still a lot they're missing in the battle against the virus.
New York state, which has more than 113,000 cases and has been desperately searching for ventilators, will receive 140 ventilators from Oregon, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday in a news conference. "This was unsolicited, but the 140 ventilators will make a difference," Cuomo said, adding the gesture was both"kind" and"smart." "We're all in the same battle here," the governor said."And the battle is stopping the spread of the virus.
Here's what else happened this week:• All but eight US states have issued stay-at-home orders. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top health expert, has said he doesn't understand why all states haven't issued such an order by now. Trump has said he will not issue a nationwide order, noting again Friday he will continue to leave that decision to governors.• The next two weeks will be"very, very rough" for the US, the President also said.
