On Saturday’s edition of the COVID-19: Seattle podcast with KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross and Aaron Granillo, models predict that the United States will hit the peak need of hospital and medical resources today, April 11, 2020.

But Washington state is an exception … so far. It tentatively looks like the state is now a few days past its own peak.

Granillo takes us inside Washington state’s coronavirus command center at Camp Murray.

Dr. Stephen Anderson, an emergency room physician in Auburn, Wash., tells us what it’s like to work in his hospital right now, caring for more coronavirus patients than at any other point during this crisis.

And how much longer will the pandemic go on?
