... from lack of room, newborn babies immediately separated from their infected mothers, machines used to oxygenate blood, etc.
How any Republican could see that and ignore the virus is beyond me! Well, no, they could easily ignore it if they never see it while living inside their Fox News bubble!

Some of the reporters could have been asymptomatic carriers.

(14,853 posts)3. I hope it wasn't the same reporter at the beginning...

I'd hope that the hospitals would be more careful that that! (They probably were.)

(54,378 posts)4. It's easy enough to blame the idiots who ignored all the warnings
But the heavy blame lays with the Governor and his state government that encouraged the stupid ones to behave as they did, or at least led them to believe the danger had passed. Murder by any other name kills as thoroughly.
