California, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia broke records for daily new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, according to the New York Times. That — among other things…

what it called “a dire shortage” of PPE, including respirator masks, protective gowns and gloves.

“We hear very single day that there are not enough tests,” said the mayor, before announcing that the city and county had performed a record 20,000 tests on Wednesday. But in a city of 4 million people, Garcetti admitted, that’s still not enough. “We need more help with testing.”
