Officials call for federal coronavirus order

Some state and local officials across the U.S. are asking President Trump to impose a national stay-at-home order. Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker said his state has "exhausted every avenue available" and labeled the lack of a national order as a "profound failure" of the federal government.

Ed O'Keefe looks at the disparity around the country as governors of different states handle the crisis in varying ways.
