A doctor at Hospital Clínico San Carlos in Madrid sent this tweet on Sunday, celebrating an empty emergency-room waiting area for the first time since the pandemic reached this hard-hit capital. “Yes, I’m crying. We are close ... we can do it,” reads his tweet. And while Spanish and Italian citizens are locked down tight, some anecdotes from the U.S. are worrying.
