This makes me so proud – of London and of a truly national public health service. What an amazing city. We should value the #NHS every day not just in a crisis. https://t.co/uHbMDaDxgP

“That miracle, that wonder of the world, which I really do believe the NHS is, that was born on the battlefield, has now become the battlefield.
Actor @michaelsheen says, “the people who are on the front line of this war are our NHS workers.”

THANK YOU everyone who took part in #ClapForTheNHS and #ClapForOurCarers tonight. This is just the tail end outside our hospital's A&E but a special #ThankYou to @MPSIslington for turning on their blue lights so that staff could see even if they couldn't hear 💙 pic.twitter.com/Pqn8oW8vIE

JUST IN: The U.S. now has the most reported coronavirus cases in the world, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
Confirmed coronavirus cases by the numbers, as of 6 p.m. EST:
🇺🇸 U.S. – 82,404
🇨🇳 China – 81,782
🇮🇹 Italy – 80,589— NPR (@NPR) March 26, 2020
It’s important to remember why the US has the most Covid19 cases of any country in the world.
We aren’t the biggest country that’s affected, or the first, or the densest, or the one with the poorest health care system.
We are the country with the least competent leader.

Still hard to believe we have a president who had a two month head start to prepare for an obvious crisis and didn’t because he thought admitting it would hurt him personally. It is unforgivable. https://t.co/3d2WQCxER1

I’m worried about emerging situations in New Orleans, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, among others. In China no province outside Hubei ever had more than 1,500 cases. In U.S. 11 states already hit that total. Our epidemic is likely to be national in scope. pic.twitter.com/jfN6YYRT07
