Unlike other countries dealing with the coronavirus outbreak, the U.S. has left much of the response to its individual states. The response has been chaotic and led to concerns that the country has missed its golden hour to contain the virus. Now some of them, led by Cuomo, are calling for the federal government to take a more forceful and coordinated response before it's too late. (AP Photo/John Minchillo, File)
