Despite the administration's response there, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) on ABC's This Week, said her state needs more test kits and better leadership from the federal government.
"Frankly, a patchwork strategy by each state doing what they can, you know we are going to do it if we have to, but it would be nice to have a national strategy," Whitmer insisted.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is more supportive of the federal response. On CBS's Face the Nation, he said the United States is not necessarily on the same trajectory as Italy where the death toll rose 13.5% Sunday with another 651 dead in one day.
"One of the things that we did very early and very aggressively was the president put these travel restrictions coming from China to the United States and most recently from Europe to the United States," Fauci explained.
