when downstate new york needed help, upstate new york was there. if upstate new york needs help or western new york needs help, the rest of the state will be there. you have my word on that. during these crises, pressure brings out the best and the worst in people. you get to really see how a person responds at a time of crisis. you get a little snapshot of their character and of their foundation. it is also true of the collective. it is also true of society. when i say we have to move to help western new york, there will be some places in the state where you hear a voice that says, we have to worry about ourselves. us and to take care of they are on their own the way we are on our own. not new york. that is not how we operate. nobody is on their own. we are one state. we are one family. . we are one community. whatever western new york needs, you have my word the rest of the state will be responsive. plateauy we are on this and on the others of the plateau is a descent. so we can manage it. if it is not a descent and it is scent, the rest of the s

in new york i asked for people to come help new york. health officials, health professionals, 20,000 people volunteered in a matter of days to come help new york in the middle of a pandemic. 20,000 people. think about that. 20,000 health professionals said i'll leave my home and come to your state. systematize that voluntaryism, systematize that charity, that expertise. that's how we beat this damn virus as it marches across the country. we just deploy in front of the virus as it works its way across the country. in any event, when our curve is over, that's what we're going to do. new yorkers are going to take what we've amassed. we're going to take our equipment, take our personnel. we're going to take our knowledge, and we will go to any community that needs help. we're learning things that fortunately no other community had to learn because we're first and because of the intensity of the situation here. when our urgent need is over, we will help any community in this nation that needs it because that outpouring has been there for us.

york economy and new york budget, which is the function of the new york economy, than 9/11 by far. rob, do you want to speak to the question? >> look at it in the context we are talking about it. we are looking at a revenue shortfall of between $10 billion and $15 billion, in those numbers are trending towards the middle of that right now. look at it in the context of her we had 50% of the workforce is staying at home, just the state workforce. as melissa mentioned, over 800,000 new unemployment claims in the past three weeks. and, we don't have the money to make these payments. at this time, it makes sense to take a pause. the 2% raises don't go in effect for at least 90 days and 90 days, we will review it. once we have a better picture of what the state's fiscal picture looks like -- we have been asking the federal government to provide assistance to the state. if you look at, a lot of labor unions recognize, the state only has a few amount of resources, trying to prioritize those resources to fund the health care crisis. between now and then, and let's see if the federal governm

new york. and if you look at our infection rate upstate new york, it is very different than the rate of downstate new york. and if you look at the rate of upstate new york, it is comparable to many states in the midwest and the west. we hear the discussion every day, well, some states are reopening because that's don't have that bad of a problem. some of the places in upstate have a problem that is comparable to states in the midwest or the west. much, much different than new york city. ok, then let's come up with data points, factual points of what we have to do to reopen. so, everyone has the same opening template that we're dealing with. and we have to be smart about this. again, i know it is emotion, and i know that people are feeling emotional. but emotions can't drive a reopening process. we're talking about infection rate and hospital capacity. separate the emotion from the logic. and we have to act as our logical selves here. and that's what smart means. be smart about it don't be emoti

i am the governor of new york. the senators from new york should represent new york. don't worry, next time? i cannot do a budget on don't worry, next time. especially, after the promise has been made and repeatedly broken, right? [indiscernible] i am sorry. >> -- to send that back and also, was it a good idea to have -- [indiscernible] -- i'm looking at members yesterday morning as of 8 a.m., dated, but the cumulative total intake was 172 patients, discharge -- [indiscernible] 500,pacity of the ship was so whose decision was it? yours or president trump, to bring that ship back? >> was it worth it to have the comfort here? it helped 172 people. if you are one of those people and that ship may have saved your life, they would say, you are darn right. that is not something to trifle with. it was worth it. look at the projection rate we were dealing with. quarterbacking is what we do as a pastime. look at what the facts were at the time. look at the numbers at the time. look at the projections we were dealing with at the time. march, you may need a minimum of 2 million

a lot of people who live in new jersey work in new york or live in new york, work in new jersey or connecticut. so we talk about the tri-state area which is true. we try to operate to the best we can as that regional collaboration, and that has been working well for us on schools, on the economy, on health care issues. we have to start planning restarting life. we're not there yet. but this is not a light switch that we can just flick one day and everything goes back to normal. we're going to have to restart that economy. we're going to have to restart a lot of systems that were shut down abruptly. we need to start to plan for that. i spoke to the governors, governor murphy and governor lamont about coming up with a regional metropolitan tri-state approach to do just that. when we get to that point, which we're not at, but how do we restart our economy and get efrg up and running as quickly as possible. my personal opinion, it's going to come down to how good we are with testing. you're not going to end the infection and end the virus before you start restarting life. i don't think you have th

>> i would, but you see new york, i believe dealing with new york. new york is having a much harder time than other of the cities, certain cities are doing actually, we look down here, incredible job. they were early. they were very, very firm and they have done an incredible job. this is new jersey, new york. this is -- >> remember, california, washington state were down here. they had some of the earliest cases. reporter: we're seeing places in florida not doing what new york and new jersey had been doing with what washington state has been doing. >> doing very well in comparison yes, john? reporter: mr. president a question to you and dr. fauci as well. we, you told us yesterday that your, the u.s. accomplishing 100,000 tests per day but we're still hearing difficult stories from the front lines of first-responders that you praise so appropriately a little while ago, they can't test all of the people that they need to test. do you have any kind of projection as to when everyone who needs a test will be able to receive one? >> i can only say we're

and new york city. our message here at home is be safe, stay at home. when you go out, you know, observe appropriate social distancing and we will continue with that message. but at the same time, think about the timing of re-entry and getting back that life back to normal again if that ever occurs. governor cuomo, thank you so much for including the first state here in the southern end of the region. we appreciate your leadership there and the great state of new york and your leadership with this calamity. thank you very much. >> thank you very much, governor carney. you're so right. we're all learning, right? this is new for all of us. and it throws out a lot of the old rules and the old ways of doing business. and the state boundaries mean very little to this virus. and somebody can get on amtrak or somebody can get in a car and go up the i-95 corridor and it doesn't matter if they're from delaware, new jersey, or connecticut or new york, what state they're from, it can have the same consequence. so

this is the news live from berlin new york looks for glimmers of hope as the state records a new daily high in corona virus deaths you're frightening the truth thank god thank god through the u.s. sees merely 2000 covered 19 deaths for the 2nd day running for president trump is optimistic that there's a light at the end of the tunnel also coming up the end of the road for bernie sanders after 2 runs at the presidency the democratic senator from vermont and his campaign to challenge president trump. plus it'll be a different sort of easter this year in jerusalem the coronavirus outbreak means congregations won't be able to get together but one organization is hoping to bring the services to them virtually. i'm told me a logical welcome to the program we began in the united states where new york state has reported its highest number of coronavirus deaths in a single day nearly 800 in the last 24 hours president trump has tried to reassure americans that the situation in the country is improving and that the u.s. is heading towards the final stretch in battling the virus in new york city

who's been unbeatable new york state has reported a further 758 virus related deaths new york mayor bill de blasio is criticizing the white house for failing to provide for enough testing or across the united states more than 20000 americans die that's the highest number in the world that speak to one or 2 of our correspondents this our mike hanna standing by for us in washington d.c. with the latest in the u.s. but 1st let's go to. london so prime minister boris johnson marion is out of hospital but he won't be going back to work just yet. no that's right he will continue his recovery at checkers which is the prime minister's country residence we were expecting this to happen we knew that boris johnson had left the intensive care ward to move to the general ward it's in thomas's hospital on thursday evening by friday he was already in touch with his fiance but it is interesting that message that he posed on social media with his characteristic enthusiasm and good humor is very interesting that he said that it was it could have gone either way because that really reflects the reflected t

you mentioned even within new york, again, new york state, the new york city metro area the epicenter look at the difference between -- excuse me, this is colorado. the difference between outside of new york -- the new york city metro area. this is the rest of new york state basically, these are the numbers you're looking at and compare that to to new york city metro area. we say new york all the time. the new york metro area has these kinds of numbers. upstate, western new york has these kinds of numbers and that's why you're having what you're talking about there perhaps upstate and western new york beginning to open before the new york metro area. >> yeah. makes a lot of sense and a real breakdown of what people are facing in different pockets not only of the country but as you emphasized within one big state. steve kornacki, sir, thank you as always. >>> we'll fit in a break but when we come back, we'll look at the medical studenting graduating early to help those at a breaking point. today, we're adapting to staying home and finding new ways to take of ourselves. but you can stil

imagine her saying new york is the place hurting, we will come to new york's defense and we know new york will be there for oregon when their moment comes. i see a lot of people fight for help for the people suffering. it will not happen if each state is left to fend for themselves. i think every state in the country should start the ball rolling, get a list of all medical personnel and serve where the need is greatest around the country and then the federal government should make that a system that can move rapidly. if there is 1,000 doctors in missouri right now who could get to a place like new york and help save us and then we will send our doctors to them when our crisis is over. wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if those doctors were ready to say i am willing to serve and there was a staging area and the military could bring them here rapid fire and then when the front moves somewhere else, the military moves, the ventilators, all of the equipment moves to where the crisis is. think about a hurricane, a natural disaster, the whole country converges on that site to help that plac

today in the "new york times" he offered this. "the thing that has always made new york unique is that it's a city of immigrants who have believed that life here was going to be better for themselves and their families. it is that collective optimism and resourcefulness that has enabled new york to overcome many crises." for more we're happy to welcome to this broadcast dan doctoroff. he's the ceo of sidewalk labs, which aims to use technology to improve life in american cities. happens to be the former president of bloomberg l.p. but notably was deputy mayor of new york city from '02 through '08. and dan, in thinking a lot about this, a lot of differences obviously between these two crises. the similarity is, the striking one, new york bears the brunt of a national tragedy in both cases. after 9/11 you moved to do a lot of things. decentralize the financial business out and away from new york and wall street. what's the equivalent as you see it this time around? >> you know, i think before you even get to that the question is wha

york, and new york city going on right now. basically, the governor saying, look, i'm the person that can reopen the schools, because i'm the person who closed them, and the mayor saying, no, they're going to be closed and i'm the person who can close them. stuck in the middle, of course, are teachers and students and administrators. i've been talking to teachers throughout the day today, and you know, a lot of them said, look, they're expecting the schools to remain closed. they don't know what's going to happen exactly but they're expecting it. parents have been told to expect them to be closed. it's a big deal because of what it takes to keep the schools closed here and what it requires to plan for a long closure and the school system here in new york city wants to get on with that planning so that's really what's going on here in new york city right now, erica. >> also the limbo, of course, for parents as they wonder what's going to happen with their kids, how that impacts them, and going back to work. evan mcmorris-santoro

new york will be first. as soon as we get through this end we have any flexibility in our system, we will be there for any other state like they have been there for us. we will lead the charge. the way we always have. hurricane katrina, we were the first ones there. when anyone needs anything with -- we are there. wide, iw, health care am going to get on the phone with hospitals now. hospital that needs ventilators that does not have ventilators. there is no hospital that needs ppe that does not have its within the system. again, they are all going to say they are running low but nobody has -- nobody doesn't have what they need to do their job. that is my point on perspective. are we managing this situation the best yes -- the best? yes. have we lost anyone we could have saved? i do not believe so. with that, i have to go to work. we don't need any additional ventilators right now. california has released ventilators, washington has released ventilators. we got 1000 from china. right now, we are on track. i

even so, new york says with all the building out and all the finagling, new york has only been able to up hospital capacity from 53,000 beds to about 75,000 beds. while that is a gigantic increase, the state's governor says even with that increase states already -- it's still looking to be about 50% short of where they need to be. the projection showing that new york is going to need the capacity to hospitalize 140,000 people all at once. 140,000 hospital beds in simultaneous occupancy. going from 53,000 to 75,000 is great but you've still got a ways to go. >>> the tfc center which is the huge convention center in detroit, michigan is being billed out as a 1,000-bed hospital center. the new orleans convention center will have a thousand beds by sunday and another thousand by three weeks today. mccormick place, the largest convention center in north america, they are converting mccormick place into a huge medical facility to hold 3,000 beds. who's going to staff those 3,000 beds? who's going to staff it? an army of american health care workers, a proverbial army of doctors and nurses an

what is your sense of where we are now in new york city and new york state? >> so new york city is seeing the evidence and the work of the people of new york, seeing our numbers go down with hospitalizations and fortunately, finally seeing our number of deaths per day go down but our hospitals are still at basically full capacity. we're still seeing so many critically ill patients and we're still trying to take care of every single patient that comes in with the full scope of our practice. so although the numbers in new york are encouraging for the treatment of the first wave of people that got infected, probably between two and three weeks ago, we still have a lot of work to do and a lot of patients to take care of. >> laurie garrett, donald trump pretty much shut down the briefing and ran out of the room when a serious question about testing finally got asked. the specifics of how many millions of tests do we need in order for the country to be able to get back into some kind of working relationship with jobs, with students. the point that joe biden made, w

york and new jersey, clearly the hardest hit states. the rest of the cluster represents the rest of the country which are in the same relative vicinity. we learned from doctor deborah burks, 100,000-240,000 death toll numbers based on allstate seeing their numbers spike like new york and new jersey. >> that can skew to a higher peak and more significant mortality. if all of the other states are able, all the other metro areas are able to pull the case number down it is a different picture. you have to predict on the data you have which is skewed to new york and new jersey. >> the cluster of other cities that are not new york and new jersey, if we can suppress that spike the numbers can be significantly lower. >> reporter: infectious disease experts believe washington state and california are beginning to see a leveling of new cases. hospitals in both states are handling the current flow of covid-19 patients. of countries with the most fatalities, italy has the highest death rate at 12%. the united states is ninth at just under 2% but re

peter, kristen. >> kathy park, in new york city. thank you. >>> president trump says he's not going to wear a mask despite the new recommendation that americans should do so. the president is pointing a finger at the states saying it's up to them to make sure they have enough ventilators and emergency medical supplies to go around. kelly o'donnell is at the white house with more. good morning, kelly. >> good morning, kristen. this is an optional and personal rejection from the president of this new advice about wearing face coverings to try to stop the spread of the virus. it comes at a time when he's trying to deliver on the request for medical gear and equipment from states across the country. there is tension over that national stockpile and limited supplies. although president trump announced that new cdcring, he is not planning to follow it. >> i won't be doing it personally. >> asked about setting an example, he stressed nonmedical masks are voluntary. >> i think wearing a face mask as i greet presidents, prime ministers, dict

the new york area and florida are bright red. but look at this map showing fever trends over the last 7 days the deep blue areas are seeing the biggest decrease in fever rates. >> the data is showing that it's effective. in every part of the country where we've seen social distancing actions implemented. shelter in place, stay at home. >> reporter: in california the lombard family is self-isolating with a 2 and a 4-year-old has it been tough to be in the house with two kids for two weeks? >> there are times when the kids are, you know, not getting along and it is. it definitely is challenge. we will not spread our germs to our friends, our family and we'll help flatten the curve. >> reporter: tonight with roughly 80% of americans being urged to stay home, health experts say it could take weeks or even months to truly flatten the curve. lester >> all right, tom, thanks and with millions out of work what do you do about the bills due tomorrow on the first of the month here's stephanie ruhle? >> reporter: more than 1 160 million ame

of course new york city hardest hit. joining me is cnn and physician at cancer center in new york. doctor, i'm grateful you are here, because help me to put into context when you hear the governor say they started this testing around the state, finding people out of their homes to try to get a sense how much of a problem, what are we blind to? how much coronavirus is out there not showing up at a hospital or in your office? if 15% of the residents of the state have already been exposed to coronavirus and nearly 25% in new york city, what does that information mean for how you do your job today and tomorrow and for how any governor needs to think about a reopening plan? >> it's quite a staggering number, although it's not a surprise at all. it's actually the number most people predicted for new york city given the number of cases we've had. i think the practical part of it is that it's good news that indeed there is a lot of people who likely are immune in the short term against reinfection. the difficult news is it's very far short of what we call herd immunity which is usually you

half in new york. governor cuomo announced today that the last 24 hours have brought the single highest number of deaths in the state. 731 people succumbing to the coronavirus. and again, remember, this is so much more than just a number. listen. >> behind every one of those numbers is an individual, is a family, is a mother, is a father, is a sister, is a brother. so a lot of pain again today for many new yorkers and they're in our thoughts and prayers. >> it is almost confusing as the governor said just yesterday that he saw a glimmer of hope that the state could soon be reaching the plateau. even so, this is a cruel reality of the virus. it is clearly -- there is clearly still a long and rough road ahead. the state is now using the u.s. navy ship "comfort" to treat coronavirus patients. but just as quickly, we find out one crew member on board has now tested positive and is being isolated. and more unsettling news in the nation's epicenter, the coronavirus is hitting the new york police department h

arthel: aishah hasine live in new york, aishah, no disputing, it's a gorgeous day in new york but we still have to stay inside and practice social distancing if we have to go out. aishah: we do, exactly, arthel, unfortunately just in the last 30 minutes i've seen people not doing that and that is definitely something that mayor bill de blasio talked about earlier today. he's asking new yorkers to report any one that is not following those social distancing rules. in the meantime governor cuomo as eric mentioned has announced that new york state will start performing thousands of antibody tests starting this week to be able to tell who in new york state has the virus in their system already and what -- when it comes to diagnostic test, that's the test to tell if you're currently sick. new york state is now working in coordination with the white house to get the supplies of the private labs in the state to be able to make the test kits to do those diagnostic tests. now, new york is past its plateau but governor cuomo is warning that we are not out of the woods just yet. let's take a lo

. >> jon, new york, for new york, time is running out right now. governor cuomo says the state will hit its apex in just about a week, and the state is not ready. >> our reading of the projections is we're somewhere in the seven-day range. i call it the battle of the mountaintop because that's what it is going to be. that's going to be the number one point of engagement of the enemy. >> cases in new york shot up by 10,000 overnight to 113,704 cases. now new jersey follows with nearly 30,000 cases. massachusetts surpassing 10,000. and pennsylvania is at 8400. help is on the way. a plane from china filled with a thousand ventilators arrived at jfk today. now, governor cuomo has also ordered medical schools in the area to allow students who were slated to graduate this year to begin practicing now, and calls for more doctors and nurses continues as 85,000 medical workers have already signed up to volunteer with 22,000 coming in from out of state. meantime, new york city's mayor bill de blasio now urging new yorkers to cover their faces when they are o

let's begin with cnn national correspondent athena jones in new york. and athena, yes, some positive signs that social distancing is slowing the rate of growth in effect, but on the other hand, some of the deadliest days new york has seen. >> good morning, jim, that's right. another day, another sad record. new york reporting the most -- the largest number of deaths in a single day for the second day in a row. another grim milestone the state reached is that this state, new york state with over 150,000 cases of coronavirus has more cases than any country in the world. even hard hit spain and italy, but there are signs that new york may be turning a corner because we're continuing to see hospitalizations fall. the three-day average of hospitalizations continues to fall and so the hope is that this will continue in this direction, but what you hear from governor andrew cuomo who we'll be getting an update from in a couple of hours and the white house coronavirus task force and others is that this is working, social distancing is working to flatten the cur

may be flattening in new york city. even with another 777 deaths in 24 hours. and what president trump revealed this afternoon. the death toll in the u.s. now surpassing 18,000. in new york, even with yet another 24-hour staggering toll, governor cuomo tonight cautious but saying the numbers do appear to be reaching a plateau, and his warning about what could change this. the rate of hospitalizations in new york inching down. we have reported on the toll on african-americans. in new york city, the alarming toll on the latino community. >>> and tonight, pregnancy and the virus. inside a maternity ward where an expectant mother tested positive. the emergency c-section. >>> we are across the country tonight. in maryland they're warning cases are still spiking. the warnings in michigan, in south florida, what the governor there said about victims of this virus, drawing an immediate correction. >>> and tonight, how and when will america reopen? what the president said late today about making that decision. >>> and this eveni

following only new york and new jersey. she extended her statewide order until the end of april with some of the nation's toughest restrictions, including prohibiting people from most travel between their residences and visiting vacation rentals in the state and closing businesses she deemed nonessential, including garden shops. her actions sparked a conservative group to organize a protest wednesday. >> it looks like a political rally out there, as opposed to something that really is about the substance of the stay-at-home order and why it's important that we take this aggressive stance with covid-19. >> reporter: she knows she will be judged by how michigan weathers the pandemic and rebounds from the economic toll it's taken on the fragile manufacturing state. in 2016 trump narrowly carried nich michigan. two years later whitmer was elected and now she's on joe biden's campaign. >> she is one of the most talented people in the country in my view. >> reporter: for whitmer it's created a delicate balancing act she acknowled

and he's the president of new york press hospital here in new york city. dr. corwin, i can't see you but it sounds like we have a solid connection. craig melvin here, can you hear me okay? >> craig, i can hear you and i think we have a pretty good connection. >> let's start with what we heard over the weekend from everyone from the surgeon general to other members of the president's coronavirus task force team that this is going to be the week of reckoning here in new york city. we're expected to see a surge in the number of hospitalizations, icu admissions, deaths even. is that where you are? i mean, do you believe that that's what we're looking at over the next few days? >> i think this is going to be a tough week. and we've had a couple of tough weeks in the past. but our projections, our statistical models, and the same with the other major hospital systems in the city, project it to peak sometime later this week into early next week. so just to give you an example, we have 2,200 patients now with covid in our hospital. it's a hospital that normally has 3,

new york state has more than 114 thousand cases. 3500 deaths. most of those cases are in new york city where there are more than died. city officials expect the situation to get worse. >> reporter: the nationwide battle with coronavirus expected to get worse before it gets better. new york governor andrew cuomo expects his state to reach its peak in about a week. >> we call it the bubble of the mountain top because that is what it's going to be. it is going to be the number one point of engagement of the enemy. >> reporter: an emergency alert going out friday requesting urgent help from licensed healthcare workers. the governor also ordering medical schools to let some students start practicing now. new york city's mayor echoing the city sees new advice friday that americans should start covering their face while out in public. >> we are advising new yorkers to where a face mask or cogo ou near other people. >> reporter: some say they're confused by the mixed messaging. >> first they said master and effective. and now all of a sudden it is like
