ST. LOUIS (AP) – Missouri is bracing for a surge of coronavirus patients as the number of deaths has grown to nine. The governor is mobilizing the state’s National Guard. A top St. Louis County official is urging recently retired health care workers to return to work. Gov. Mike Parson said Friday in a statement that the use of the National Guard will enhance coordination among state government partners and help the state “overcome this global pandemic.“ St. Louis County Executive Sam Page, in a YouTube video released Thursday, said he’s worried that hospitals will be overwhelmed soon.
