online. at the end of that and you successfully filling it out. it is going to say you are finished with the process if there is in i information left blank, it will say don't call us, we'll call you in 72 hours. the governor says there has been a thousand people reaching out to you. they'll be reaching out to people directly. so hopefully starting today after 7:00, the system will be much better streamline. it is a volume issue that we never experienced. >> i will ask rob. he can speak about the financial stress that the state is under. so many of these things we never seen before. we never seen the financial devastation done to the state

budget the way it is happening here. we are getting in my lifetime we go back to 9/11, which was the catastrophic event. this is more devastating to the new york economy and new york budget which is a function of a new york economy than 9/11 by far. do you want to speak to karen's question. >> sure. look at it in the context we are talking about, a revenue shortfall between $10 billion or $15 billion. 50% of the work force is staying at home. the state work force is over 800,000 new unemployment claims in the past three weeks. we don't have the money to make these. everything makes sense to take a

pause. don't go in effect for 90 days. 90 days will reveal it. once we have a better picture of what the state's policies look like. if you look at the labor union recognized, the state only have a short amount of resources trying to prioritize those resources right now to fund the healthcare crisis, the midst between now and then let's take a break and see if the federal government is going to step up and deal with the revenue shortfalls a and we can deal wi the commitment. where do the state have authorities, there are provisions in there to allow for withholds of these payments so that's what we are relying on now. we'll look at it in 90 days. once we have a better

perspective. >> life is options. you have a 10 million or $15 million shortfall. what are you going to do about it? i can't sit here and say i am officially operating the state when i know we don't haves money to pay the bills that we are incurring right now. the options are you can do lay off of state workers or you can buy some time of freezing the state workers. i choose option b rather than laying off people which would add to the unemployment claims and stressing the hardship. let's freeze the raises because it has been the most of your jobs and let's see if the federal government actually does what they said they'll do the past several weeks which is passed legislation and they

understand the level of the crisis and get the states some funding to stabilize our finance. >> how many people or workers does this affect? >> 80,000? >> about 50 million hours for the 90-day period. >> on the antibody test, do you plan to share that and once you get approval from new jersey and connecticut to coordinate a call? >> we are doing the antibody testing as we speak. it has not been approved. it is bringing up to scale. all of these testing protocols they all basically exist, none of them are at scale. that's the challenge. we need millions of them. we are roughly a work force of about 8 million people.

we want people to go back to work. how many of them is 8 million can you test and how many can you test on the antibody test to see if they are infected. how many can you treat on the plasma protocol which we are asking for blood doughatination. all of them are questions coming at the scale. these are not government-run programs. they are private-sectors run program. we are reaching out to private sectors who can bring these up to new york and up to scale. whatever we do, i try to do with new jersey and connecticut. this is not a new york-centric situation, it is a national situation. the best i can do is connect with connecticut and new jersey. the work force comes into new york city, new jersey and

connecticut, a lot of sharing among those three states. whatever we try to do, we try to do together. >> we are doing this. >> andrew cuomo, the governor of new york giving his daily briefing briefin briefings. encouraging news for the governor. the number of hospitalizations are going down and ventilators are doing down. 799 new yorkers died yesterday. that's another date to record as the new york's death counts continue to build. tonig 7,067 new yorkers have given their lives to this pan ddemipa.

new york is continue to be the epicenter. doctor, appreciate you being here today, you are in houston and in harris county. when you listen to the governor of new york who believes he's at a plateau. the death numbers are staggering. there is no good news in the story. when you do hear the encouraging or less discouraging news. the number of intensive care units needed down and hospitalization number is down. what does it tell you, you are behind new york in terms of the bill, what do you learn from that? >> there is light at the end of the tunnel for new yorkers. i wish to all my friends in new york practicing there and folks i know from medical school being a medical student and nyu myself. >> where are you in houston as you go through this and what are you seeing? you have been able to see what's

happening in new york and new jersey and other places that have developed faster and more quickly than your area. what are you seeing now and how do you compare notes? >> i would say what is like in houston right now is the calm before the storm if i can use the hurricane analogy what we are used to in the gulf coast here. i work at a public hospital in houston. we have 11 positive cases in our hospital itself. we have 30 patients under investigation, essentially waiting for testing. over the past months or so, we had 24 positive tests. that was as of last night, this morning, dr. chuck becker sent me a text message saying one of the patients tested positive, that number creeped up one more. the nice thing for us in houston is that the numbers of positive patients are about 7% of all those that we have tested which is drastically lower than what we have seen out of new york.

that gives us a little bit of hope that we are not having as huge a surge as what we are having. this is the calm before the storm. >> some of us like to call it caronaville. when someone checks in, they have symptoms for cough and fever and body aches, we send them in the the separate area of emergency department where we can use the maximum equipment and ppe available.

the remainder of our heart attacks and the strokes and let's say, those still are seen by patients and physicians and nurses. >> it is not necessarily contracting the disease from our patients but also from ourselves because as you know a symptomatic transmission is a possible thing. we are sitting close proximity throughout the day across from each other without wearing a mask. we can infect each other. >> i hope you can grow out the storm. we'll watch how you deal with it and we wish you the best of luck. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> we are listening to the governor making his presentation

kree earlier. shimon, it is a tough challenge for the governor to go through the death counts which continues to rise. hospitalization and care units a drop that he says hopefully, he kept on urging new yorkers do not go out. now is not the time to relax. he sees a flattening of the curve. >> so far he does see that flattening of the curve. the biggest thing now for new york city officials certainly and state officials that people are going to think this is over on and somehow they abide by the stay-at-home and social dista e distancing and that's the biggest concerns right now for city officials. they still need people to stay home. it is going to be quite some time before things return to normal. mayors was talking earlier that we may not get back to normal until june. they need sustained period of flattening the curve. they need to keep on seeing the number going down as they start to see it. they want to continue. that's only going to happen if

people keep on following the rules, staying at home. social distancing and it will be some time before we see anything return to normal. the numbers are bad. the number of people that are dying keeps on increasing and of course these are people who have been in the hospitals for some time now and they're on ventilators and they may have other issues so they are not surviving. the thing for hospitals and doctors and some of the nurses and hospital officials that i talked to. they are seeing signs that less people are coming to the hospital. admissions are down and people are coming into the emergency room is down. what's that allow them to use focus on a lot of critical patients and more time to critical patients that are still remaining in the hospital. it is easing a lot of pressure on a lot of these doctors and

nurses who's been working so hard and seeing the numbers and seeing some of the health they gone in the relief from state officials like transferring some patients and hospital to hospital and some of the patients at the javits center. all of that is working. >> shimon prokupecz. appreciate that reporting. sharon colin. director of the respiratory care, with her is our respiratory therapist abraham. thank you both for joining us and applaud your bravery and your work throughout this. >> what we heard from shimon, you are in long island which is the governor mentioned new york city seems to be getting better but he worries about the suburbs. this is new york's fourth week, tell us what you are seeing. let's start with you sharon.

>> we still see a lot of day-to-day usage and ventilators usage. it seems better a week ago. the usage continues to be high. >> and the patients coming in, there was a fear just a few weeks ago that new york would not have enough especially when it came to respiratories and ventilators. the flattening of the curve have made it so that it is sustainable at your level. do you have everything you need? >> our administrationor and everyone is getting us

everything we need. we feel fully safe and we are able to take care of patients the best we can. it is unfortunate four our hospital. we are lucky to have a great team to take care of our staff. >> sharon. in terms of - do you believe you have evidence that social distancing are working. people moving out of the suburbs to escape the density of the city. you are saying you see clear signs of progress. >> i think people did move out of the suburbs for a while. we saw great increases and people on ventilators but this week so far is not there . there is a lot of them but not as drastic as it was at the end of last week. >> sharon and jojo.

life can't return fuellly normal unless there is a vaccine for coronavirus. researchers say 100 years old vaccine for tuberculosis could offer us some hope. elizabeth cohen, why do you think this vaccine may work? >> it was widely used of tuberculosis that those

countries have lower rate of covid compares to developed country. wow, could it be the vaccine, let's study it. so trials are going on right now in the netherlands and australia. they expect they could have results from three to six months. it is a little bit unclear but some where in that neighborhood. it will be interesting to see if it works. there is a huge caveat here. just because those developing countries have lower rates of coronavirus does not mean the vaccine is the reason why. there are so many reasons why those countries could have lower rates. they may not be testing as much and infrastructure and the money to do testing. if you don't test you are not going to find the cases. perhaps there is not as much international travel which will up your case counts. it is not clear it is a vaccine that's helping them out but they're studying to find out. john. >> in middle of this, therapeutics and vaccine is a

year away, the cdc is putting out new guidelines for essential workers, some people can go back to work but what? >> can go back to work after they have been exposed from coronavirus. not people with coronavirus, people who have been exposed to coronavirus. let's say a doctor or nurse that's taking care of someone and later turned out they had coronavirus. doctors and nurse who are not wearing protective gear could be exposed. in some countries are testing those doctors and nurses. in this country, hey, you should work and wear a mask and take your temperature before you come into work. you should social distance and don't congregate in the break room. if you feel sick, you should not come to work. you can work as long as you do all of those things. now this is also true for people for example who work in the food chains supply and food

responders. i have spoken to food expert who is are not happy with this. we ought to test these people and see if they are coronavirus rather than putting it out there but it is a guideline of necessities because we don't have enough workers at this point. >> we appreciate your insights there. joining me now sharing his expertise and insights. doctor, thank you for being here. help us with the context. our pleasure, sir. >> all the research on potential therapeutics and antiviral testings and everything. all the research for vaccines, what's your best hope on based on what you know today, where are we looking on the therapeutic front that's tested and proven. when is the earliest that we can see those?

>> so this is an important point. we need to test and this is what's going on. now with the vaccine, we have a huge test for vaccine. nobody have developed a vaccine against human coronavirus. i am sure that'll come. i am sure we'll succeed. we have to know it is difficult. so we do have a number of

possibilities and many researchers are coming. that'll be for at least 18 months or two years. this is not for the first round. vaccine against the coronavirus, by the way -- you have some people between the bcg vaccinati vaccination. this has to be confirmed but that could be a while. specific vaccine we'll have one but we need a lot of studies. how long and how many of them and do we have -- the professor

at the south florida, and i can see other universities working on this. in regarding to vaccine, we'll have one. it will take some time and we have to be careful of the benefits. when patients have a respirat y respiratory, they can have a significant effect. we have new clinical hires which

are planning to test the vaccine. i believe we are facing an extremely situation. it is heartbreaking to see what's going on. it is a global effect of so many universities and again we have an extensive network that can lead to success. >> as you lay out the important safety guidelines to wait as the vaccine of 18 months or more. doctor, appreciate your insight. in the case, we shift from the medical impact to economic. a bad week for the economy. millions more are out of jobs. the president says he hopes the economy will bounce back as quickly as possible. these are real people, not actors,

this is devastating for the new york economy than september 11th. this is happening nationwide. we got 46 out of 50 states reporting a jump in claims. it's happening so fast in the space of three weeks. as you and i keep on discussing the support is coming and extended unemployment benefits and loans to small businesses to stem the job losses but the challenges and the numbers here is delaying that cash getting to people. i spoke to one of president obama's economic adviser, professor jason ferman this

morning. he says two important thing. he hopes around half of these people have been furloughed so if we can kick start the economy, those jobs will come back. on the downside he thinks it will take five years to get back to where we started. five years. th that, i think we can't fight the signs. i can give congress for acting now for provide for aid. >> that long-term forecast. julia chatterley in new york. appreciate your time. >> let's see what washington is doing to try to help. lauren fox and josh dalsy. i want to start with you josh, listen to the secretary here and the president is an optimist. you were the first to report the

president creating a new second task to look at the economic here. >> there is a possibility if doctors let us if we can be open for business in the month of may. >> i think as soon as the president feels comfortable with the medical issues, we are making everything necessary that american companies and workers can be open for business. >> the question, josh, is when. jim cramer is trying to push for may, dr. fauci would say not so fast. where are they behind the scenes at the white house? >> so the goal is an economic task force april 30th. he wants to open different states and different parts of other stays. plans and places they can reopen by april 30th.

white house aids led by mark meadows is going to start to meet there soon to talk about how to do this. if you have a surge in cases or you have more hot spots that can derr derr derail the plan but the president is non-stop and trying to expedite that. >> lauren, what is there? what is there and what is left when you get to the point whether you can reopen or a gradual or big open. part of that calculation is how much money is congress willing to pump in. they think anywthey need $250 billion more that's enacted. a partisan hang up on that one, right? >> exactly. this morning majority leader mcconnell went to the floor asked for a unanimous consent to get that $251 billion surge money for small business loan

program that started less than a week ago but it is already seeing large volumes of president clintons b want more money for state government and individuals on food stamps but mcconnell's point is this small business loan is the life blood of the economy, it is what's going to keep people going on unemployment insurance. we need to boost this money now. it is the only program that's banned and enacted at this point. other programs are getting off the ground. democrats need to wait. lawmakers are not in washington right now. when they go to the floor, they have to have that unanimous consent, we just did not have it at this point. >> josh, you know because you covered the trump white house very well. the president gets a lot of his rhetorical suggestions from his friends from fox news. i would say you don't have to weigh in. some of those are not helpful at

times. in the case of this economic panel, a second task force to focus on the economy. the former george w. bush's white house secretary is now working at fox news. he tweeted i think we need a second task force assembled at direction of potus. and the president replied good idea. >> dana promoted and the president amplified that. the president this week according to our reporting has been more fixated of getting this set up. the president feels that a lot of the discussions so far has come from dr. birx and fauci and they pointed out of health concerns and the charts and graphs and talked about how contagious this is and how difficult the disease is. he feels the economic problems

are not getting enough attention and he feneeds to build momentu to open the government. gladiator style fights coming forward in the white house the next few weeks between health officials and economic professionals on what can be reopen and what's safe. the concerns you hear from some folks is you would be opening the government and all of a sudden you reopen the economy and you have a second surge in cases where diseases are still spreading and more people are contracting. there is a lot of discussions in the task force. >> the next couple of weeks,

three weeks until the end of the month when those guidelines would last or not extended. appreciate the reporting. coming up for us, back to this big healthcare challenge. the number of deaths. we'll go out to deproi. detroit. for many of our members, being prepared... won't be a new thing.
