our special coverage of the coronavirus pandemic continues right now with brooke baldwin. i'll see you later tonight. held jobs everyone i'm brooke baldwin. thank you so much for joining me. it's really all about perspective today it seems. the rate of new coronavirus cases is falling, but the rate of new deaths is not. you can see that as a country and also at the epicenter of the outbreak now, new york. governor andrew cuomo offering more devastating perspective today. listen. >> it's gotten to the point, frankly, that we're going to bring in additional funeral directors to deal with the number of people who have passed. if you ever told me that as governor i would have to take these actions, i couldn't even contemplate where we are now.

>> new york reporting, again, the most deaths yet in a 24 hour period. it was also the deadliest day nationwide with nearly 2,000 people dying yesterday. pushing the overall death toll to nearly 16,000 now. meaning if the current projections are accurate, new york has only suffered about half of the deaths that it could see by august and the u.s. hasn't even really seen a third of the deaths projected during that same time period. the economic pain of all of this is setting in today in a new way. take a look at this. the government reporting that this morning that 6.6 million americans filed for one employment for first time this past week. san antonio the past three weeks almost 17 million americans have filed for unemployment. unprecedented, let's be honest, starting to lose its meaning. let's start in new york where the governor says today there are more signs of hope, but he also made clear, again, that in no way means it's time to relax

or let up on anything. cnn's erica hill is here standing by. what your hearing? >> reporter: there was that moment, as you just played for us, when the government talked about never could he imagine bringing in extra funeral directors. that's because of the number of deaths. there's some good news. the hospital of hospitalizations specifically is way down. 200 new hospitalizations on wednesday. that's down from 585 the day before. that's a very good sign. we also learned from the governor that the number of patients being put into the icu is at its lowest since march 19th. also a good sign. but as we're seeing perhaps a little bit of a plateau the governor was also adamant this is not the time for anyone to change their behavior. >> you stay-at-home and save a life. period. you're not out of the woods. and now is not the time to

misunderstand what's happening. we've done great things and we have saved lives because we have followed these policies. >> the reason you've seen a drop in in hospitalizations is because of the actions new yorkers took weeks and months ago. >> so as we mentioned off the top depressing news about the economy. millions more people filing for unemployment for first time last week. now source tells cnn president trump is announcing a second economic package. >> reporter: they are expected to announce this in the coming days. not clear when. basically what they want is to

have a group of aides that are solely focused on re-opening the economy and ways to do that. as we noted it's going to be a complicated situation so the white house is aware of that. they are trying to figure out when that's going to happen. the president is expected to announce this task force. we're told by several forces it will include administration officials you expect to see on something like this like the treasury secretary steven mnuchkin, larry kudlow, but we're also told they will have private-sector figures on this including economic experts as well. they want this to be solely focused on this as the coronavirus task force is focused on public health. they have considering the economy. you have seen what treasury secretary has done with congress to get the relief funding. what they've done for small business loans. but what will it took like when these social distancing guidelines are up at the end of the month. today mnuchkin is hopeful it can re-open the economy in may.

the president is not putting a deadline on it. if they will send people back to work is there enough widespread testing, contract tracing, things of that nature to make sure that they are aware this is going back to people going to work. won't have to redo this shutdown with the economy. >> you just learned there are new safety measures going into effect for people including journalists at the white house? what's going on. >> reporter: much who attends that press briefing today the ones you've been watching every day will be tested for coronavirus beforehand. that's a measure the white house had been taking lately. testing senior staffers meeting with the president and vice president and now they are going to do so for the reporters in the room today after there was reports one reporter has coronavirus symptoms. they don't know if they tested positive for it. they are awaiting the results for that. the other thing is this will become a daily thing. the white house has been weighing how to handle this. they are considering potentially

testing much who comes into the white house complex though they have not made any decisions. all photographser, technician, everyone will be someone who has taken a coronavirus test. >> where we are today. thank you. joining me right now is dr. julio frank, president of the university of miami but if i may, doctor, your resume covers almost every aspect of this crisis. you're a former minister of health of mexico, chairman of the board institute creating these projection models that the white house is using and former executive with the world health organization. thank you for being here. as the president of the university of miami i look at those unemployment numbers, those grim numbers and i'm struck wondering that's going through, of course, families with kids in college. how are you prepetersburg for families to come to you and say we can't pay for cool any more after this.

>> the crept emergency unfolding, it started behind and will outlast the public health emergency. we all need to be preparing for that part of the emergency that's going to happen. by defending every time there's a novel pathogen that appears, the defining characteristic, that requires we develop what's called contingency planning to really make an exercise in figuring out what are the worse case scenarios so not that we hope that they don't happen but wework very hard we work very hard to defeat them. we're seeing that with the public health emergency. the measures are working. but we need be prepared for those scenarios on the financial

front. >> yeah. on both fronts. you're exactly right. about to become the interim head of the university of miami's health system. speaking about the worse case scenarios i'm seeing that the projected peak in florida is still 12 days out. you got places like ahead of you like detroit where hospital workers are reporting things like people dying in er hallways before help could arrive. how do you make sure that doesn't happen in your hospitals? >> well that is exactly what -- that sort of contingency planning has to entail. one characteristic of this epidemic like all of them, it's unfolding at different rates in different parts of the world and it's everybody's duty to learn. because of that uncertainty we are learning as the epidemic evolves. we're watching very closely what happened first on the west coast, washington state and

california. now what's happening in new york. i think has really provided incredible lessons of what we need to avoid. we're watching what's happening in detroit and other areas. it is expected that miami will, will be facing a surge in demand. we've been getting ready from the beginning, making sure we have equipment, ventilators, getting ready for that. you're right because of my own professional training i've now taken the additional role of interim ceo because in addition to our education we provide a vital service to the community, especially for the most acutely ill critical patients as we are highly specialized hospital system. >> the cdc, when you're looking at kind of the broader public health emergency and when you're kind of looking at when society can open up again the cdc is

loosening its guidelines saying when it comes to essential workers who have been exposed to the virus they can now return to work, taking certain precautions which they list out if they are not experiencing symptoms. your comfortable with that? i mean, what do you think it will take to open society back up? >> well, i mean clearly we're trying to -- we need to change the mindset that there is sort of a close knit between the public health object jennifer and economic recovery objective. we need to work synergyistically. if we prematurely re-open the economy and have a second surge and many more people die that will obviously play havoc with the economy recovery as well. on the other hand, we keep the economy locked down longer than strictly necessary, you know, people will also experience the health consequences of an

economic downturn if they lose their jobs. just both physically and emotional health will be in jeopardy. so these two things of planning has to go hand-in-hand. it is true we have to do some testing. not the diagnostic test to see if you have a virus but a test to see if you have the antibodies. it makes since in a gradual way based on that kind of testing, not just that the aggregate numbers are better because prematurely we let our guard down we can generate a second spike. we're seeing this in singapore which now had to introduce more tougher measures because of that second wave. so, it is a very careful

balancing act and the two pieces seem to go hand-in-hand. not one or the other. not one against the other. nothing hurts the economy more than having people sick or dying. and, of course, nothing hurts health more than having people out of jobs and in this kind of economic distress. the two work hand-in-hand. but those kind of guidance makes sense and has to be based on rigorous the rest. we're not in a new normal we're in an abnormal. when we come out of this we'll see permanent changes in the way wework being social distancing measures we introduced. have jokingly say we might abandon hand shakes. i don't think that will happen but i think we'll have to change the way, we interact. some of those changes will be positive. i think you'll see very positive

changes in education, much more use of online blending different classroom experiences. i think you'll see witte we health. delivering and improving access to health using technology. and also with work, being more productive using some technologies that today we would be forced to use but should become permanent. then way we interact, more aware of the need for personal hygiene and for your measures, not social but physical distancing. i think those are likely to be lessons from this emergency. >> i'll take a positive lesson of anything. dr. frank, thank you so much for being here. you have a huge job ahead of you. thank you so much. new cities are emerging as potential new yep centers for the virus. one mayor now ordering all residents to wear masks when they go to the grocery store. we'll go there next. a nursing home evacuated after

employees stopped showing up for work. are thing getting better or worse for elderly and long-term care facilities? philadelphi

concern, according to the white house task force reporting 1400 new cases of the coronavirus per day. pennsylvania's governor just cancelled schools statewide for the rest of the academic year. we go to philadelphia. alex, health experts were wondering if philadelphia is the next hot spot, next epicenter. what your hearing? >> reporter: yeah. local officials are taking exception that this is as hot a spot as the white house is making it out to be.

they are happy that there's concern for philadelphia but they are saying that the trend lines aren't as bad as the coronavirus task force is making it out to be. that 1400 number that's for the metropolitan philadelphia area and we heard earlier from the health commissioner for philadelphia he says that the white house is using outdated numbers, that the numbers are actually slowing, that curve is flattening and actually in the last few days there has been what he called a plateau but at the same time the health commissioner issued a warning that they are in dire need of various supplies. take a listen to what he told cnn earlier today. >> we are having problems with personal protective equipment for our health care workers. health care system could come under strain. we put in place a lot of safe guards. so at the moment looks like we can manage the surge. but it's been tough to prepare for that point. so we're by no means over this.

>> reporter: so, they are not down playing it. what they are doing is expressing some cautious optimism that the growth numbers are slowing. the numbers that they put out today, positive cases for 494 compares to 505. in the same range. you see what he means by that plaing to, flattening out. also saying that 104 philadelphians have died. that number surely to grow in the coming days. >> alex, thank you. so d.c. the washington, d.c. area is also bracing for impact, if you will as it shares that unwanted title of the next potential hot spot. suzanne malveaux is there outside of howard university hospital. what your hearing there? >> reporter: we're at the awning at the entrance here and turned away from the entrance to protect the privacy of patients. we talked to a number of doctors who have seen and experiencing the coronavirus, the d.c. mayor earlier today saying anticipate one out of seven d.c. residents

will be impacted and affected by this virus. they are beginning to see a surge in the number of cases. we're talking about dmv, d.c., maryland and virginia area, 11,000 and counting. the mayor saying there was a dramatic increase as well justin prior days. what they are doing here at howard university a world renown trauma hospital. they have opened up a wing to provide 170 beds for what they anticipate will be a surge. >> when seeing a patient it really takes a lot of sympathy, it takes a lot of fortitude because you're not only thinking about your patient but you're thinking about yourself and your family. so one we leave the hospital at the end of the day, we go home, we sterilize our cards, we clean our homes, you head right for

the shower, remove our clothes and then interact with our families. it's a very stressful time for caregivers. >> the university president says they are ready, up for the task as a designated hospital for this pandemic. the mayor has asked for 1,000 extra beds and ready to help out as quickly as possible. >> they prepare. all right. thank you. coming up we'll talk to one expert who says the coronavirus is a perfect killing machine in nursing homes. they have been hot spots since the very beginning. what do they need to keep their residents safe? i felt complet. my entire career and business were in jeopardy. i called reputation defender. vo: take control of your online reputation. get your free reputation report card at reputationdefender.com. find out your online reputation today and let the experts help you repair it. woman: they were able to restore my good name.

a smooth jazz troll? i don't care for smooth jazz. the world premiere is in your home friday. go to watchtrolls.com for more. rated pg. an alarming look at nursing homes across the country right now. in california one nursing home in the san francisco area six residents have died 30 others tested positive. in new jersey ten residents have died at one veterans home two more at another. this is just over the past couple of days. nursing homes have been at the epicenter of the outbreak since the very beginning. is it getting better or worse

for these most vulnerable populations? joining me right now is mark parkinson ceo of the american hearing association which represents 13,000 long-term care facilities. thank you so much for being here. the last time we talked was a month ago. then you told me this virus was a perfect killing machine for the elderly and that nursing homes need help. a possible later do nursing homes have what they need? is it getting any better? it sound like it's getting worse. >> well, it's slowly getting better but we're still fighting this incredible battle with two hand tied behind our back. one hand is the lack of equipment. we don't have enough masks and this virus spreads through coughing and maybe just through breathing and without masks we can't stop it. the second hand tied behind our back is lack of testing. we can give tests but taking too long to get the result back. by the time we know we have covid in our building it's already spread.

the good news is now we have many examples of buildings able to keep covid out and more important if they can find out early on if covid is in the building they can isolate it. what we now need is a country to rally around nursing homes and assisted living buildings like they rallied around hospitals. >> why aren't nursing homes getting the test? why aren't they getting the protective gear they need. what's holding it up? what's the problem? >> the problem from the very beginning is, of course, this started in china that makes the masks. by the time it hit the united states there was a massive shortage of masks across the entire spectrum. question of testing, somebody has to figure out what went  wrong with testing in the united states. the reality is there hasn't been enough equipment or testing or anybody in the health care

spectrum. >> do you think it's something specific to nursing homes are just being left in the lurch or being forgotten. hospitals need to be getting ppes. nursing homes do as well. >> we feel we've been forgotten. i think it's great that we rallied around hospitals. we adore the hospital workers. they are heroes. we support that. front lines are nursing homes. people going to hospitals are coming from nursing homes. if we don't stop it in nursing home we stop it in hospitals and so far the country hasn't figured it out. >> on tuesday los angeles public health officials said it's appropriate to pull relatives out of long-term care facilities to keep them safe. do you agree with that? >> in the overwhelming number of cases that would be a huge mistake. the average resident in our facilities are about 85 years old. many activities of daily life they can't do. they can't feed themselves or

transfer themselves to a restroom. most are in wheelchairs. half have dementia. they can't be isolated at home. they are in a save environment if the equipment is there. i would say the vast majority of cases bringing those folks into the general population would be very dangerous right now and i would be quite certain of that comment if we could get the testing and equipment we need. the nursing home to be with safest place. >> the alarm needs to be sounded here. nursing homes have been -- that was the source of one of the first cluster was at a nursing home in seattle. that's when we talk originally. they need a flood of protective gear just like the hospitals do. it is really unacceptable because this is such a vulnerable population. i need to read another part of your resume if you could. you're also a former governor of kansas. the democratic governor there like many other governors put limits to religious gatherings

as part of her stay-at-home order. just yesterday republican legislative leaders revoked that order. obviously it's days before easter. what's your reaction to that? >> well, i support governor kelley 100% on this. we need governors to overreact right now not underreact. when we look back on the history of this we'll see governors like governor kelly, governor hogan, governor newsom, the one that shut their states down before it was obvious, when there were very few number of cases in their states, i think they will be real the heroes because they will have saved lives not just across state but also in nursing homes and entire communities. i know it gets tricky, but easter is about sacrifice and life. and we have a chance this sunday to not just celebrate easter we have a chance to live it by all of us making our own skriefr, creating life and i encourage everyone to stay home and do

that. >> and pass overis upon us at this very moment as well. thank you very much for being here. thank you for what you're doing. >> thank you very much. >> coming up the largest known source of coronavirus infections now is behind bars. that's ahead. a sailor on the "uss theodore roosevelt" was found unconscious after being diagnosed with the coronavirus.

going in the wrong tdirection. we have a choice. we can choose to fear, or we can choose to have hope. both have something in common. they ask us to believe something is going to happen that we can not see. we can either believe that god is in control and good things are still in store. or we can believe the fear that says it's only going to get worse from here. fear says there's no answer. fear says the problem is too big. but hope says the best is yet to come. hope says there is light on the other side. hope doesn't give up. no matter what is going on around us, we can have the hope knowing that god is for us and what he's destined for our lives will come to pass. so when you have the choice of fear or hope, choose hope. may the god of hope fill you with all joy and peace

as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope. let's check in with our

reporters across the country right now. hospital workers in detroit are describing being completely overwhelmed and a chicago jail is now the largest known source of coronavirus case in the country. let's start with cnn's ryan brown with a troubling development about one of the sailors aboard the "uss theodore roosevelt". >> reporter: i'm at the pentagon. the number of coronavirus cases on the "uss theodore roosevelt" continue to grow with the number of sailors attached to that aircraft carrier with the coronavirus surpassing 400 on thursday. now some 97% of the crew have been tested but some 1,000 of those test results are still pending. one sailor from the roosevelt was recently admitted to intensive care hospital on guam the first such hospitalization in that case. >> reporter: i'm in chicago. cook county jail the largest single site jail is the largest known source of coronavirus infections in the country outside of medical facilities.

just over two weeks ago we reported first two confirmed cases here. now more than 400 positive cases. more than 250 detainees, including 22 that have been hospitalized and 150 staff members. various officials have described the potential for spread in this jail like a petri dish. >> reporter: i'm ryan young in detroit. we're looking at critical care needs of the state and city. 959 people have lost their lives to covid-19, but the story now also shifting to the hospitals in this area and fact that some of them are at their breaking point. we learned 1400 ventilators are in use in the state. 1,200 are being used in the city of detroit. but there's also a hospital called sinai grace. we learned there workers there are upset about the conditions. on sunday there was a walk out by nursing staff because they were so upset by what they were seeing. the hospital for its part said

they started surging in health care workers to fix things in that area but we're still getting information from the workers there that they think that patients are not getting the kind of care they deserve. >> thank you. so 16.8 million americans filing unemployment claims since last month. that also means across the country hundreds upon hundreds are lining up every day. just look at these lines. pennsylvania, ohio, many other places waiting hours for food and supplies at food banks. at the same time food banks are reporting dwindling supplies, donations and volunteers. joining me now is claire, ceo of feeding america which runs a network of 200 food banks in 60,000 food pantries nationwide. thank you for being here. it's impossible not to be struck by that video when you can see cars lining up on highways to get to one of your food banks. how do you describe what you have all seen over the past

month? >> really, along with this pandemic, not only comes a health crisis but a food crisis as well. we're seeing a perfect storm as you mentioned in the lead in we have significant increase in demand. on average about 65% additional demand and at the same time we're seeing challenges around getting the food that people need to this increasingly growing crowd of people. so it's quite challenging right now. >> what are you hearing from people? what is -- where is the level of need right now? >> well, unlike in a natural disaster, where you'll have one geography that experiences need, this need is being experienced across the united states.

so as an example, we have in normal times over 20 million children who rely on free or reduced lunches and meals at cool. with the cools closed those children now don't have consistent access to nutritious food. and with that, prior to the crisis there were about 11 million kids who still were living in food scarce families where they didn't have enough access. we're seeing tens of millions of children who need us now because they don't have consistent access to food. we're also seeing a growing number of people who are recently unemployed. when you see those unemployment rates going up, the reserve bank has suggested that the average american before the crisis had somewhere around $400 of cash available to address a crisis. so it's a perfect combination of factors that are really weighing

on a lot of people in the country right now. >> look, with the nature of this crisis, we've been through also seeing a drop in donations, seeing a decrease in volunteers as people staying home and aren't showing up to help. there are so many people hurting, but there are also so many people who want to help. how can they do that for you, for feeding america right now >> well, i think the best way that they can, and thank you so much for asking that question because i can only imagine what it's like to be out there wanting to help and feeling you can't. there are ways people can help. there are people who are helping right now. so my first thing i encourage people to do is go to www.feedingamerica.org. there you'll find funts to provide food and funds into local communities. on that website you can find a community you care the most. type in your zip code and you'll

find a food bapg that serves your community and then go into their website and ask do you need people, fund, food and get in your community and really help. >> claire, thank you for you all, everyone on your team for what you're doing in this crisis. appreciate it. >> thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to share. >> thank you. coming up an emotional tribute from dr. sanjay gupta about a girl who inspired a movement and changed the world. proof i can fight moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. proof i can fight psoriatic arthritis... ...with humira. proof of less joint pain... ...and clearer skin in psa. humira targets and blocks a source of inflammation that contributes to joint pain and irreversible damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers,

we'll wrap up today honoring

another life lost. a 13-year-old whose life and health battle were an inspiration to so many. dr. sanjay gupta first introduced us to charlotte this amazing girl back in 2013. she passed away tuesday. here's her story. >> reporter: for the last 20 years, i have straddled the world of medicine and journalism and if both professions, i am always reminded, stay objective, do your best work. but don't get too close. for charlotte biggy, that's impossible. she had this way about her. that smile, that just got you and captured your heart. remember me? that was june, 2019, the last time i saw charlotte and she was doing great. >> i can't imagine back then imagine she'd be 12-years-old and seeing her at 12-years-old and what that would look like.

she was dying. >> reporter: when i first met charlotte, it was 2013, through our first film on medical marijuana call we. pitter patter, creep crawls in the cave. >> reporter: we had heard about this amazing 6-year-old from colorado who had a rare form of epilepsy. she had a seizure every 30 minutes. everyone potentially fatal. no treatment had worked. then one day, desperate, her parents gave her a non-psychoactive ingredient from a cannabis plant cbd. >> this is charlotte's web. she didn't have a soezier that day and she didn't have a seizure that night. yeah. right. i this is crazy. >> reporter: and it was at that moment that people started to see marijuana, which had been considered dangerous, could also be different. she changed my mind and opened my eyes to the possibility that this was a legitimate medicine.

and in the process, she changed the world. >> probably the most important thing i'll ever do was to help my own child and share that information, help others. >> reporter: charlotte was the entire cbd movement wrapped up into a sweet little girl with a big smile and an even bigger hurt. her story changed policy about cannabis. states were inspired by the story of charlotte and made cbd more accessible around the united states to treat epilepsy. and in turn, scientists around the world wanted to study charlotte's special cbd oil. research but for charlotte no one seemed that interested in doing. >> i was begging researchers and physicians to work with us and help us understand the phenomenon that we were seeing and they absolutely wouldn't even talk to us. we were laughed out of rooms. now they begged to research our

produ product. >> reporter: charlotte lived her short life to the fullest. and while she was almost this mystical miracle, she was also just a little girl. who loved to do tandem biking with her mom and while the last month was not easy, she had symptoms of covid-19 while never testing positive, she eswent e vent wally -- eventually had pneumonia which unleashed her procedures. her mother said she was smiling and happy until the very end when the seizure became more than her fragile little body could hand him. charlotte's life ended just as it began, in her mother's arms, surrounded by family who loved her, cherished her and protected her. all forever changed by this little girl who forever changed the world and everyone like me who were caught in her glorious orbit. please rest in peace, charlie.

>> sanjay is here with me. i think it's the fifth time i've seen it, sanjay, it, yeah, i remember so vividly when you first were on set with me and introduced me and we were talking about charlotte and just what an inspiration she was and how she changed you, your view on cbd and, obviously, far beyond. if she is lost, if she died because, if she died because of coronavirus, i'm sorry, how do you make sense of this, sanjay? >> i don't think you can ever make sense of that, you know, kate, you know me well. i have three daughters, they were asking me a lot about charlotte because they feel they've grown up with her. they've known her the last seven years. they were asking me the same thing. how can this happen? sometimes there is not answers. you know, one thing i want to say, kate, we talk about being able to do a piece like this i feel really happy to be able to do it because you know this is

how we remember people and pay tribute and honor their legacy. so, thank you for allowing us to put it on your program today. i mean, i know paimg ge is watching. paige is an amazing mom. she gave charlotte a really amazing life. the story will impact the world. the story of how amazing a parent paige was as well sets an example for us. >> paige is an inspiration, along with charlotte, this entire journey that has been her short and wonderful, wonderful life. thank you, sanjay. >> you got it. thank you. >> sanjay is going to stick around. a lot more, many more questions for him, of course, and the very latest on the coronavirus pandemic after a quick break. so what do you see? i see an unbelievable opportunity. i see best-in-class platforms and education. i see award-winning service, and a trade desk full of experts, available to answer your toughest questions. and i see it
