I hope that is an overreaction. I would very much rather have it being panicky governors than a deadly threat to the people who live there.

As far as the Covid-19 virus goes, Gallup is to New Mexico as NYC is to the state of New York. With the high Native-American population there, the limited health care facilities are being over whelmed and patients are being transferred to ABQ hospitals.
