Governors do NOT control the DPA. There were lots of body bags in refrigerator trucks in NYC. I distinctly remember a clip of an NYC Doctor saying that they had to "jury rig" the hoses to make 1 ventilator do 2 patients.
And they had to pull some patients OFF of ventilators to give to other, better-likely-to-live CV patients. It happened!
