for an obvious focus and the hardest hit regions some of them are obvious and some aren't so obvious they spring up they come and they. they hit you like you got hit by a club that was donald trump speaking to the american people a short while ago with a strong warning that things will get worse before they get better. some more on this let's bring in journalist. in new york city good to see look the diocese in is continuing in new york state bring us up to speed on the latest there yeah jerry of another grim milestone now in the last 24 hours 638 people have died there is over 113000 cases in new york state alone and we talk consistently about the shortages when it comes to the protective gear for doctors and nurses but there's

a shortage of medical personnel as well and not being over has now that medical students on the verge of graduating will be permitted to begin practice practicing rather they're going to expedite that process and then along with the thousands of men and women who have offered to come out of retirement to work on the front lines there's also a text message that was sent out urging anyone with a medical license to step forward so the measures being taken right now to reprove people to enter the health care system is ongoing as we look towards that peak that governor cuomo says is merely a couple of weeks away so right now and on the mobile situation and it's ongoing and right now jared there's no light at the end of that tunnel. as you say there's a shortage of medical stuff but there's also a shortage of supplies to many including ventilators governor cuomo says more are on the way. yeah i mean ventilators in the shortage with regards to those pieces of equipment that's been a concern since day one and governor cuomo has said that he needs about 37000

ventilators for the peak of this outbreak right now there is some help on the way oregon has donated 140 pieces of equipment they're lending it rather china is sending about a 1000 ventilators and also 500 ventilators from upstate new york and hospitals that don't require them at this time will be deployed to new york city and as you know jared new york city 65 percent of the coded 1000 cases are here in the city so they are certainly going to need those ventilators and the mayor has said he needs about 25023000 this week alone so the 500 will certainly help but there's a dire need there so that's the situation with regard to the ventilators a great mass shortage not just here but across the country just some staggering numbers that would be new york state is now the u.s. at the center of the coronavirus how is the situation in the rest of the united states. yeah i mean all eyes on new york right now least americanize as this is the

epicenter as you mention facing that 1st wave of infection we are 55600 people already but there's certainly concerns when we look at others these and with regard to the dangers acceleration when it comes to the number of cases particularly in new orleans and destroyed and it's extra concerning because these state the cities rather are home to vulnerable communities people living under the poverty line in new orleans for example about a quarter of the population there lives under the federal poverty line in detroit that number is 37 percent and if you're already living below the poverty line the chances that you have access to affordable health care is already low and the proper tension that you have underlying conditions like diabetes is higher and these of course are the groups of people who are more vulnerable to coded 98 we hear often times that this. disease doesn't discriminate but as we're seeing vulnerable groups in our society are simply more vulnerable now. journalist and in
