I read that Warrenton, OR ordered all tourists and everyone who does not live there full-time to vacate the town. Too bad Astoria, Gearhart, Seaside, Cannon Beach, Manzanita, etc. etc. etc. down the coast haven't done the same thing.

The northern coast (Clatsop County) has 2 hospitals and around 50 hospital beds (that's not ICU beds, that's beds total) and no word on how many ventilators. The military is here, however, so perhaps they have the ability to set up M*A*S*H units (but do they have enough doctors? do they have ventilators? will they be able to test people?) Tillamook county has one hospital and 25 beds and again no word on ventilators.

And now Tillamook is booting tourists, too.

Finally Astoria, Gearhart, Seaside, and Cannon Beach are following suit.

First case announced this morning in Clatsop County. They won't tell us much. Woman between the ages of 35 and 55 in the northern part of the county.

Like everywhere else, they waited too long to keep people who don't live here out and to keep people who do live here inside.
