Massachusetts has 13,837 confirmed cases of COVID-19.
State officials requested 1700 ventilators from @FEMA.
1000 were approved a week ago.

"We knew what was happening in December...if we had started in January...we wouldn't be in quite such dire straits right now."
On today's pod, @ewarren lays out the Democratic message in this election.
Episode out soon. #coronavirus
As she often does, @SenWarren provides a cogent summary of how federal policymakers should be thinking about the pandemic in the coming months. https://t.co/zkX0E7ncK5
