In recent days, the outbreak in New York state has surpassed those in California and Washington state. New York is reporting more than 3,000 confirmed cases. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, in comments to reporters, said a U.S. Navy hospital ship — the USNS Comfort — is preparing to deploy to New York Harbor to support medical centers in New York City that are now facing an influx of patients.
"The president and I agreed we're fighting the same war and we're in the same trench," Cuomo said,"and his actions indicated that he is doing that." Meanwhile, efforts across the country to stem the virus's spread — including the closure of bars and restaurants in certain states,"shelter in place" orders in others, and would-be travelers' decisions to simply stay home — are taking a toll on workers across the country.
