New Orleans is projected to run out of ventilators in one week, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said over the weekend.

“We believe that by about April 4 or so in the New Orleans area, we will exceed our capacity for ventilators,” Edwards said during an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “And, obviously that’s not where we want to be.”
