david: if someone is a citizen of maryland or want to hate -- help the state of maryland, what would you ask citizens to do? what can they do to most help the situation? gov. hogan: thank you for asking that. first, i have been so impressed. out of tough times and adversity, you sometimes see the best and worst in people. we have had incredible people across our state. we have a website called maryland unite where we have tried to put together all the can iwhere people say how help? you can find places to contribute or volunteer and how you can help your neighbors. there are things like contribute into maryland food banks, donating blood to the red cross, and just any number of different small community organizations doing wonderful things to help our frontline health care workers and our doctors and nurses and first responders or just helping elderly neighbors that could use a hand, checking in on them and see if they can pick up some groceries. there are plenty of things people can do and we encourage that. it has been amazing to see the people willing to help their neighbors in ne

have you had that problem in maryland? guest: it is sort of an issue not just with the ventilators but with all of the things, from the white house and the folks at the federal level, they've been saying the governors are on their own and they should go out and secure these things on the open market. which we've all been trying to do. but governors are all out there trying to compete for a very small number of these various supplies, and so now we have the federal government and each of the states and other countries trying to compete for what is basically not enough of all of these various things that everybody desperately needs. i think we are having discussions with all of the nation's governors and the federal government about how to set up a better system and improve that. we've got to figure out how to best allocate some of these limited resources, and this overwhelming demand. the bottom line is there just are not enough to go around for what everybody desperately needs. we've got to figure out the best way to fix a

we are in the washington metropolitan area including maryland, d.c. and virginia. we have taken some of the earliest and most aggressive action to try to mitigate and flatten the curve, flatten and lengthen the curve so we are a little bit behind some of the other states that did not take those actions. we are not going to have, hopefully the spikes nearly as bad. we are still on that upward trajectory. so we now have in the region as of yesterday more than 27000 total cases. we are still on the upswing with respect to unfortunately hospitalizations with respect to folks going into intensive care in icu bed. that's with our deaths in all three jurisdictions. her helpless on the steps are taking will mitigate the trajectory, lower the trajectory but we are unfortunately still gradually climbing and not able to grab that hump yet like some of the states that peaked earlier. >> the big focus right now is reopening the economy across the country each state taking its own what is the current timeline you are working with and how confident are you that once maryland reop

of the maryland labs on that list, but some are federally run and were, therefore, off-limits. the white house now says that will change allowing states to use them. earlier hogan announced the state purchased 500,000 tests from south korea with the help of his wife who grew up in seoul. >> the administration made it clear over and over again that they want the states to take the lead and we have to go out and do it ourselves, and so that's exactly what we did. >> no, i don't think he needed to go to south korea. i think he needed to get ident for seinus a list of federal labs and generously offering maryland use of them. accessing these federal labs will be critical for utilizing the 500,000 tests we have acquired from south korea. in new york, governor cuomo says it's not the labs but the lack of testing supplies that's needed. cuomo will meet with the president today at the white house as new york shows signs that it has now turned a corner in this crisis. >> the question is now how long is the descent and how steep is the descent, and nobody knows. >> reporter: the decline

let's say in maryland -- i live in maryland. i work in a primary care facility in maryland. the zip code 20903, right now, they are saying silver spring as -- is a hotspot for covid. the population there is at least 80% hispanic. if we look at the zip code 20745, it is considered federally underserved because of lack of health care professionals in that area. it also is considered a hotspot for covid. what is the problem now? we have extreme economic disadvantage. one of the things i think is a solution right now, this moment, is to get maryland, virginia, district of columbia to have all those physician assistants -- they are available right now -- to work. get them in the community right now before they expire. host: thank you for the call. dr. frederick? guest: i think getting foot soldiers on the ground to bring awareness i think is important. what i would also say -- because of our health care workforce is already limited and stressed, and stretched as well, what i would also suggest is we have to engage more community leaders and community organizations. i think there

if we have enough tests right now i want to go into season one why is the governor of maryland having to get half a 1000000 tests from south korea. i don't know what the governor of maryland is doing in south korea but there is excess capacity every day if he wanted to send 30 or 40000 test a lab corps inquests that that could be done that could be done tomorrow and that they need it to start to need to up their testing capacity and make it out once i think until i think we're seeing all across the country that in the states that have been hardest hit their capacity to know their capacity their testing far far exceeds south korea and they've been able to do that on a relatively straightforward basis i don't know what the governor of maryland we talked to him today he didn't bring that up today. we were on the governor's call today and you might personally i'm. sure we spoke to governor hogan today i'll follow up because i heard there was an announcement today about. that he had acquired some tests from overseas maybe we could put the slide back up that showed the number of facilities

they say it's time to reopen up maryland. they say that, look, they understand that covid-19 is a significant public health concern but they say that the social, educational, and the shutdowns are significant and are even worse for the state of maryland and so they want to reopen the government. now, larry hogan, the governor, he's taken to the air waves and he said, look, i understand that this is painful. i understand that it's difficult. he's talking to a lot of folks out there who are trump supporters, there's plenty of people with maga hats. governor hogan says even president trump's plan doesn't have maryland opening up the economy yet. the governor says schools will be closed here until may 15th. they are trying to figure out a way to slowly reopen society here in maryland but it's going to be gradual and it's going to take time. meanwhile, through all of this, the state of maryland has reported between yesterday and today there are about 700 additional cases of covid-19 in the state for a total of about 12,000 total c

we are in an election year but you moved the maryland primary to june 2. do you think it will be safe for people to go to the polling places at that time? >> i don't think it will be which is why i moved to june 2 and then the independent autonomous group i asked them to come up with a plan of how to conduct by mail and give it in a safe manner so we don't have people going out to the polls. they came up with a plan because there were certain people that couldn't vote by mail that was mostly people with disabilities, a couple of blind advocates, some people that didn't have addresses, so they made a combination for one place in each county for people that could do the body mail and we are encouraging everyone in the state to vote by mail because we don't think it's going to be safe. we don't think we can get the workers and hundreds of people standing in line at the polling places. >> how about in november. the party on capitol hill basically said we are not interested. it disadvantages us and i'm not sure if there is any evidence of that. >> my party on c

look, we've increased our testing in maryland by 5,000% over the past month. but it's nowhere near where it needs to be. as governor northam said a moment ago, there are things like shortages on swabs that we don't have anywhere in america. you can't do the tests without them. on reagents, which is a part of the test. so look, i think they've made some strides at the federal level. i think states are all working hard on their own to find their own testing. lab capacity has been increasing. but it's not accurate to say there's plenty of testing out there and the governors should just get it done. that's just not being straightforward. >> protesters gathered in the state capitol yesterday to call for you to reopen businesses, reopen schools. i want you to take a listen to what president trump said about protests occurring around the country. >> i mean, i know there are a lot of protests out there, and, uh, i just think that some of the governors have gotten carried away. we have a lot of people that don't have to be told to do what they're doing. they've been re
