FILE - In this Saturday, March 28, 2020, file photo, staff work in a ventilator refurbishing assembly line at Bloom Energy campus in Sunnyvale, Calif. Bloom Energy is a fuel cell generator company that has switched over to refurbishing ventilators as an increasing number of patients experience respiratory issues as a result of COVID-19, caused by the new coronavirus. With cases of coronavirus surging and the death toll surpassing 100, lawmakers are pleading with cooped-up Californians to spend a second weekend at home to slow the spread of infection. California could see conditions similar to New York "if we stop practicing physical distancing ... if we pull back from our stay-at-home policy ... if we go back to our normal routines without bending the curve," Newsom said while touring a Silicon Valley firm that is refurbishing outdated ventilators for hospitals.
