but easy times don't forge character. it is the tough times that forge character. and that's what we're looking at right now. people say to me, you know, people are getting tired of this situation. they've been home, it's going on a couple of weeks, they're getting tired. well, the truth is that this is not a sprint, this is a marathon. we always said this is not going to be over quickly. i understand people are tired but i also understand that people in this situation are really stepping up to the plate and are doing phenomenal work. so the next time you feel tired and believe me, i feel tired, but when i feel tired, i think of the first responders who are out there every day showing up. i think of the police officers. i think of the firefighters who

are up there every day. the grocery store workers who are working double shifts just to keep food on the shelves because people are buying so much food because they are nervous. the pharmacists who have lines going out the door and they are showing up every day, day after day. the transportation workers who don't have the luxury of feeling tired because they have to get up and they have to drive the bus so the nurses and the healthcare professionals can get to work. and those healthcare professionals, who are dealing with the virus that they didn't even understand. they still don't understand. and they are there working, many of them, seven days a week. so yes, we're tired. but look at what others among us have to do and the challenge they're under, and how they are stepping up. and who am i to complain about

being tired when so many people are doing such heroic efforts? and i also think this is going to be transformative and formative for society. you think about our children. i have my daughters here with me. this is the first time they've faced a real national adversity, right? we have a whole new generation who have never lived through >> they never went to war. they were never drafted. they never went through a national crisis. and this is going to shape them. i have my daughters with me. yeah. they're hurting. they are hurting through this. and at the end of the day, they will be better for it. they will be better citizens.

and as we go through this, let's teach them the right lessons and the right response. and that response is the lessons that we get. difficult times. better angels. families, unity, and as a society. we are going to get through th this. the only question is how we get through it and when we get through it. but let's make sure at the end of the day, that we can say we are better for it, and our children are better for it. and i believe they will be. options? [indistinct question]

>> we have stockpiles of ventilators. they are all across the stage. any hospital that needs ventilators, we give them ventilators. [indistinct question] >> yeah, we are talking to the federal government about more ventilators. we are talking to the federal government about more overflow beds. we are shopping for ventilators ourselves. we are converting anesthesia ventilators to normal ventilators. so, we are all over the ventilator issue. one second. the number of ventilators we need is so astronomical, it's not like they have them sitting in the warehouse and the federal government. there is no stockpile available. the federal government is doing what we are doing, which is you

have to find those ventilators or convert ventilators or get additional companies to manufacture ventilators. yeah, there is, but there is not a that is large enough to meet the national need. >> their projections were showing -- today, we see a 40% increase and hospitalization. or projections wrong? are you redoing those projections? >> governor cuomo: when you talk to the projection models, what they will say is you get fluctuation. they don't know if it is a deviation and what the hospitals have been to report that they, because remember, this is self-reported data from the hospitals, jesse. so they say you get fluctuation from time to time. don't look at any one day, don't look at any period less than three or four days.

so we will just continue to watch it. excuse me, one second. >> when you said today that pt is not a problem. but then we had reports that some nurses were using trash bags and kind of improvising. >> governor cuomo: we have called the individual hospitals. there is no doubt that in the past few days, you know, that may be the distribution is a little start and stop. but we have enough pte. and the new york city officials say they have enough for the new york city hospitals. it is not right? >> i spoke to mount sinai this morning, reacting. he assured me that we have all that we need here. i checked in today. they have got all that they needed new york city, so as these individual stories are

popping up, they are reacting to them in real time, but they continue to assure us that we have what we need at the moment. >> governor cuomo: we have enough in stock for the immediate need. not pass to the immediate need, but for the immediate need. >> quarterly evaluation, is not something that you would do? in conjunction with the legislator? and what advice would you give? >> governor cuomo: . we are all coping with the same thing, first of all. the federal government has a revenue loss. state governments have a revenue loss. city governments have a revenue loss, so no one can say well, i don't accept this reality of our revenue loss. it is a reality for everyone. and everyone has to adjust to it. i am sure there will be some people who say well, i shouldn't

have to adjust to it. i should be held armless from reality. no one is held harmless from reality. go tell any family out there. reality doesn't count. so, everyone is going to have to deal with their reality. i can't protect them from the realities. though way though -- and again, we have never done this before. it doesn't mean we can't. just that we never have. but what we are thinking about is quarterly. something like that. adjustments that are almost mathematical reflections of what the revenues are. in other words, you know what the revenue projection is, and you know how much money is made for that quarter, right? and whatever that deviation is would be automatic.

it would be done by the division of the budget. i don't believe the legislatures are going to come up here every quarter and go through numbers at this rate with the spread of the virus. i don't even know that it would be responsible to ask for a convening of the legislature. but that is the general concept we are talking about. this is all a reaction to what the federal government did yesterday. i was shocked that they were so irresponsible in addressing the state and the city need. i mean, i never believed that they would just pass the piece of legislation that didn't address it. they just did not address the revenue. they provided money for covid. the amount of money we are spending on the virus. but they just did nothing on the revenue. you know, they know we have to fund education.

they will all say in their speeches education, education. it's our children's future. and then they do absolutely nothing in the legislature. so i just want to keep it in check. a motion is a luxury, right? to be angry as a luxury. we don't have the luxury right now. let's just deal with the facts, and let's get through it. the mastermind of the budget, have i said anything wrong, or is that what the plan is? sometimes he has plans that he doesn't tell me about. >> we will look at our revenue forecast right now. ten to $15 billion is how much we project. if so, we project that out over the quarters and bimonthly. those are transparent. you will see what the revenues are every month, and we will adjust spending according to how the revenues come in. that will be reflected. everyone will see those, and the goal is to be transparent up

front that school districts can see this is what would happen if we don't reach the revenue forecast. so they would know what would happen. >> reports about -- saying that they are close to running out of ppe for next weekend. is there a plan? >> governor cuomo: yeah, anyone can give you a report that they are close to running out of ppe and a week and a half. i am close to running out of ppe in a week and a half. that is the status across the country. when i said we have enough for the immediate future, i mean the immediate future. we do not have long-term supply. the numbers are that fast. but any hospital anywhere, whatever we have, we will distribute. and we will distribute it on an as-needed basis. so to say i needed in a week and a half, frankly, we are dealing

with hospitals that needed tomorrow in the day after. that is the kind of time frame that we are working with. but we are doing everything we can. we are buying from china. people calling and volunteering private plans to go to china to pick up materials. i mean, it's really been extraordinary. but anything we have, we will distribute. >> you guys -- [indistinct question] what is your response? >> governor cuomo: you know, the gig worker task force -- i have to step back. i said i want to do everything. i don't just want to do a budget. i want to do the policy initiatives we need to do because my expectation at this point is going to be a budget and nothing else. normally, we pass a budget, and then we come back and discuss

policy matters. i don't know at this rate that they are going to be weeks of legislative discussion afterwards. so i am trying to get as much done as we can in the budget. the caveat is there are some issues that you really have to talk through and think through, and the language is important. in the details are important. it is not about passing a bill, right? the legislature focuses on passing the bill. i focus on passing a bill that is the best and smartest bill you can pass and that you are not going to have to come back and redo the next year because you didn't think it through. the gig economy is a complicated issue, and i don't believe we are going to get the gig economy done in time for the budget. if they do come back and they do stay for weeks and we have time to talk it through, fine.

but if you are asking me are we going to be ready by next tuesday? i don't think so. >> public health officials have said that it should not be encouraged, promoted, or advertised. we should be testing as much as possible. how do we square the two conflicting messages [buzzer] >> governor cuomo: well, you tested -- if the city doesn't have the capacity -- it's a capacity issue, right? if you have the capacity to te test, test. because flatten the curve. how do you fly on the curb? there's two ways. density control, keep people away from each other, and test. how to try to do it? how did south korea do it [buzzer] how did everybody do it? density control and testing. if you don't have the capacity to test, then you can only test

people and say we are coming into your hospitals, then you don't have the ability to do it. but if you have the ability to do it, do it because it is a way to flatten the curve. if you don't have the capacity and the ability, then you don't do it. >> running at 125% -- patients of state, where there is more availability. >> governor cuomo: we have more overflow capacity. well, first, within the hospital system, you would distribute patients, right? so, within new york city, one hospital is not 125 present, let's say. okay, distribute within the hospital system because not all the hospitals are at capacity. second, you have overflow facilities that we are constructing. going back to that tomorrow.

the other ones, we have been discussing. you would only do the regional distribution once you get past everything you can within that area. i am not eager to redistribute people from downstate to upsta upstate. they are just practical consequences. the family would have to travel further to visit them, et cetera. so that is the last option. >> there seems to be a migration of families from the new york city area -- where did you consider a travel ban or authorizing these areas -- >> that counties can come up with whatever they want. i am not -- i don't have any mandating any travel ban's. >> 14 day quarantine for anyone coming in -- do you think that is an appropriate stuff?

>> governor cuomo: yeah. i am not a doctor. i have a sister who is a doctor. i have a little dr. nevada. i would refer back to dr. zucker's comment from yesterday. he has strong opinions on that issue, and i would refer back to that. [indistinct question] >> governor cuomo: well, dr. zucker's position was it is not necessary, and i would agree with dr. zucker. >> how many days until we run out of tests? >> governor cuomo: how many days, on the most conservative estimate, running out of ventilators. the maximum projection of an apex number four ventilators was about 40,000, right?

we have may be about 12,000. in that range. ventilators. that's before you are talking about splitting. and that number changes. we don't have an estimate for when we would get there. and hopefully, we never do. >> more testing kits -- >> governor cuomo: any hospital that needs more testing kits -- again, we don't have -- hospitals tended to like to have supplies for a long period of time, which i understand. so they want to have a one-month supply, three week supply. we don't have that ability. if we can provide a few days supply, that is what we are looking at. which makes them uncomfortable. i understand. but that's just the situation we are in. but any hospital that need supplies immediately, the

department of health can provide them. anyone who needs a test, and of the hospital doesn't have the supplies, we have mobile testing units to go test the person. they just have to contact their department of health. >> just to reemphasize, there is no plan in place for like a ventilator protocol where certain patients are prioritized over others? >> governor cuomo: no. >> is there a reason why construction workers are being treated like potential workers? not sanitary conditions. >> governor cuomo: we are looking at that now. i understand the point, and i hear the point. i think some construction is essential, right? but it is something we are looking at because i understand the point, and it sounds right to me. yes. >> millions of people applying for unemployment, and it is probably a lot more.

what is your message for the people who have lost their jobs over the last several days? >> governor cuomo: it's not -- no one has lost their job, i would say. we have all lost their jobs. there is a difference. when you lose a job, it tends to suggest maybe you did something wrong. maybe it was your performance. a statement and evaluation of you. this has nothing to do with you. it's the circumstance that we are in. and we must correct it. there is a strength in the fact that it is all of us, right? when it is just you, then you are on your own. when it is all of us, that suggests we have to do something about it because the collective demands it. and that's where we are. i am sure it is a terrible

feeling and a frightening feeling for everyone. for everyone. nobody has been here before. i am out of work, my business is close, i don't have a paycheck. i can't leave the house. the house of the family in it. or i am all alone. no one has been here before. and that's why -- look. about is going to change us. i really believe that. it is going to help form a new generation. i can see it in my daughter's eyes. when i talk to them about this every night. i can see the fear. i can see their eyes open wide. they are taking it all in. what does it mean? this is going to form a new generation, and i will transform who we are and how we think. but you're not alone. you're not alone. nobody is alone. we are all in the same situati

situation. let's get someone who hasn't asked a question, if that's ok okay. >> what is the plan for the shutdown order? what is the longer-term plan? >> governor cuomo: we are looking at that on an ongoing basis. >> the phone modifications. they were suspended, basically canceled for this year by the education department. the school closure plans are set to come back on. we are looking at that right n now. >> governor cuomo: did he answer your question? >> they are closed until at least april 20th. how are they planning for that -- >> the government is evaluating that now. there will be a decision on whether to extend the closure. remember, the 180 day waiver

ends effectively april 1st, so it is being considered by us, by the governor right now. >> governor cuomo: let's take one more from someone -- anyone who hasn't asked a question? >> do you have a plan for that now? >> governor cuomo: something the nation is working out, something we are working throu through. and i think the smartest way forward is a modified public health strategy that dovetails and complements a get back to work strategy, right? what we did was we closed everything down. that was our public health strategy. just close everything. all businesses. all workers. younger people, older people, short people, tall people. every school.

close everything. if you rethought that or had time to analyze the public health strategy, i don't know that you would say quarantine everyone. i don't even know that that was the best public health policy. young people then quarantined with older people. that was probably not the best public health strategy because the young people could have been exposing the older people to an infection. so how do you modify the public health strategy to make it smarter from a public health point of view but also starts to get you back to work? younger people can go back to work. people who have resolved can go back to work. people who -- once we get this antibody test, show that they have the virus. they can go back to work. that's how i think you do it. it is not we are going to either do public health or economic development. we are starting.

we have to do both. we have to do both. thoughts -- we are working on it. i think that is the same thing. i'm going to go to work, guys. thank you very much. >> harris: and the governor of new york, andrew cuomo, getting up and saying he is going to go to work. we got a lot out of that, but probably the headline is how many cases that new york now has. how many are covid-19 patients and i see those who have gone home. the numbers are almost the same. and an alarming amount of people just hospitalized overall with covid-19. so that being the headline, let's get going with this our of >> outnumbered: . we are seeing numbers skyrocket across the board. many more people are getting tested. we do know that. the number of confirmed cases has approached 70,000, and

nearly 1,000 people have perished. new york state, the epicenter of the crisis, with more than 33,000 confirmed cases now. and some 366 deaths. at the state's accounting for half of all of the cases in the united states. this is top members of the new york task force are a warning of potential second cycle. let's get into that. bringing in the panel. dr. marty mcgarry is with us. i want to start with you. what is driving that? >> marty: well, i think we are seeing second waves historically with any pandemic because of different modes of transmission. we have never had this much airplane travel or public transportation in the history of pandemic. so i do think that is a factor, you know, when we looked at china, we thought that couldn't happen here. and then it happened in italy. we thought we are different from italy, but the new numbers out of new york today shows that

this virus no snowboarders or political parties. and it has a very predictable course. the numbers out of new york show that there are more new diagnoses in new york than there have been in italy in the last 24 hours. >> harris: a quick follow-up on the point. we anticipated, at least that is what the experts keep saying. anticipate a pop. how big will the pop be? and when the apex gets here, we still don't know. but the governor has set in consecutive days that this is outreaching what models have told them, what was anticipated. >> marty: yeah, i have always thought that the number of new confirmed cases is not a real good reliable estimate of the magnitude of the problem. probably a better indicator is how overrun the hospitals are. you know, this past weekend, the chief of surgery at columbia university hospital so that they had about 300 patients and their hospital hospitalized, but only

100-tested and confirmed. they were convinced the other 200 hatted. that is probably as good about comparative as we are going to get. >> harris: gillian, i'm going to come to you next because the governor said something that was interesting because he was looking, as dr. marty makary was, and there was one point that he hit. how long you are on a ventilator. everyone is focused on that because we know that those are life-saving tools that we need to get through this thing. he said that there are a number of patients nicu that have been on it for 20 to 30 days, and the less you are on it, the less your chance of survival. >> gillian: it is a terrible statistic. they are now reporting that they patients who have the virus are staying nicu longer than normal or staying in the hospital for so much longer than normal. that is why the lack of hospital beds is really being viewed as a compounding problem. every day that there is a lack of beds, it gets exponentially

worse the following day. harris, you mention that they were a public health expert ringing alarm bells that the virus is becoming cyclical. they are looking at evidence in the past. looking at the 1918 influenza pandemic here in the united states. it started like this data in the spring, then went to fall. then winter pure dr. fauci said he is looking at other countries around the world. i have got a lot of family -- they are going into winter. lower temperatures. they are seeing more cases spread across the country now too, so there's going to be waves across the world of this virus. >> harris: you know what is so fascinating with the african continent? i have been watching. the numbers have not peaked. they went a long time without even a first case. then there were fewer than a dozen cases for a very long time. long, meaning the last couple of months. but it is interesting because as

their weather pattern changes, that is something experts have been telling us to look out for her. watching the governor today, what are your topline thoughts? >> melissa: well, i mean, it really feels like there is a big epicenter right here in new yo york. and you see sort of our city go through sort of the peaks and valleys of this, it kind of tells you what could be coming in your direction. i'm particularly struck by this idea that you have our governor and others saying that they have plenty of ppe, the materials that they need. but you still see those nurses and doctors saying that's not the case. at that they don't have it. so i very concerned myself. >> harris: there is a disconnect. >> melissa: the disconnect between the officials who say yes, we have it. even the governor in the past was on the other side. on the national level, they say we have the stuff. now, he is saying that we have it, and i know we are all

hearing from health care professionals who are reaching out to us and panic and sort of depression, saying that they don't have what they need, so that's what really struck me about the conference. i want to reconcile the difference. >> harris: it makes sense to talk to as many of them as he possibly can to try to figure out what the disconnect is. it might even be in the very basic human element of all of this as you heard the governor saying how exhausted many other health care workers are. that is part of the equation too. we will continue to talk about it. carley, i promise we will get you in. more than a dozen patients have died from coronavirus in a single day at one new york city hospital. the pandemic now stretches the cities medical assistant to the breaking point, which is what melissa and i are talking about. a live report, a header. ♪

>> harris: new york city hospital at a breaking point amid the coronavirus pandemic, now treating nearly 4,000 patients for the virus. one hospital in the borough of queens has seen 13 deaths in a 24-hour span. as officials say the facility is overrun and in desperate need of supplies. meanwhile, staffers at another new york city hospital reportedly blame the lack of basic supplies for the death of a nurse in manhattan who tested positive for about two weeks ago. david lee miller is live at that hospital with more. david lee. >> hi, melissa. i am actually on the east side of manhattan at another hospital in that same system. but no matter where you are a new york city, you are at a hospital, you are at a hospital that is under strain. here at mount sinai hospital, the east side of manhattan, authorities are saying that

system wide at its hospitals, mount sinai is going to set up a triage stand outside of emergency rooms to accommodate the anticipated spike in the number of coronavirus patients. now, let's take a live look just east of where i am standing in elmhurst, queens. this is the hardest hit borough in new york city. it accounts for 32% of all coronavirus cases. and the epicenter -- the epicenter of the epicenter. they say they died at the hospital and a 24-hour span, including a 38-year-old. the doctor tells "the new york times" of the facility is overwhelmed. people that are lined up outside, waiting to be tested for the virus. they call the scene of the hospital "apocalyptic." at the outside of my report, at mount sinai hospital in the west side, there was a growing controversy and frustration.

nurses posted about using trash bags as protective gear because they say there is not enough equipment. fox news has not been able to confirm the authenticity of the hospital. some there blamed his death on the hospital's lack of equipment. the hospital released a statement that said in part, and i quote "we always provide staff with appropriate ppe. if an individual does not have their proper ppe, they do not go on the floor, period. any other suggestion is simply not accurate." governor andrew cuomo in his daily briefing told reporters that there is enough ppe to meet immediate demand in hospitals throughout the state. he also address the issue of hospitals capacity. he said that some hospitals may be at overcapacity or approaching it, but he says not all hospitals are at capacity, and the plan is now to distribute different parts of the city and the state as they are needed.

lastly, the number of deaths statewide, now 385. the overwhelming number of those here in new york city. melissa. >> melissa: david lee miller, thank you for that report. and i want to go to dr. makary first. i interviewed him new york city council member about a week ago, and he predicted that this would happen. as you shut down manhattan, there's going to be people from the city who would go out to the outer boroughs. still traveling back and forth as essential workers. you know, needing to work and sort of catching the virus and bringing it back to the outer boroughs. and those are also the people who don't have the luxury of working from home and are now having to stay home. he predicted that hospitals just like those elmhurst hospital would be the ones that relate got slammed in overrun. basically for socioeconomic reasons. what you think about that theory? >> marty: i agree with that.

this is very predictable, and it is following the playbook. we can convert a hotel room or bedroom into a hospital bed. what we need is ventilators. this is all about ventilators. push comes to shove, i will wear a garbage bag as i count. this is all about the need for ventilators. you heard the governors say they have about 13,000. it probably needs for about 40,000. we don't have protocols here to ration care. doctors last night were telling me that they are already splitting ventilators and sharing patients on a single ventilator. >> i don't know, carley, what the doctor says, i think about this man who passed away, and i am hearing from people in my own life who are saying that they are on the front lines of these hospitals, and they are terrified that they don't have the equipment they need and also that there is such a backlash within the hospital, though they were afraid to say it. they don't want to go on the

record because they are afraid they will lose their job. so while ventilators are really important, we can't have our health care workers risking themselves, and i'm not convinced, for one, that they do have what they need. what are your thoughts? >> carley: they are the most important people in the whole entire country right now. i just don't think americans are used to the concept of we don't have enough of xyz. especially in terms of crisis, we are the one supplying others who don't have enough to get by. but these hospital workers, melissa, are not making it up. they are not wearing plastic bags at first fun, but at the same time, i trust governor cuomo and president trump that they are doing their due diligence too. so something is happening here where hospital staff isn't getting what state and federal governments think that they already have, so maybe it's time if they haven't already, for governor cuomo or even

president trump to visit hospital and really figure out what is happening and why these health care workers don't have what they so desperately need. >> melissa: yeah. okay, we knew the numbers would be back, and guess what? they are. new unemployment claims hitting record levels of the pandemic delivers a body blow to the u.s. economy. we will be right back. ♪ veterans, how can one phone call save you $2000 a year? by refinancing your va loan at today's incredibly low rates at newday usa. newday's va streamline refi is the quickest and easiest refi they've ever offered. you can lower your payments by this time next month without having to verify your income, without getting your home appraised, and there's no money out of pocket.

everybody is going to fill this. >> carley: i wonder if that number is even accurate? filing for unemployment insurance, the backlog of phone lines, computers and websites are crushing. i imagine that that number could actually be higher. >> on top of what carley just said, economists are saying that it could be representative of the numbers who want to work but are not eligible for unemployment, like gig workers. they should now be able to register. melissa, also as astoundingly high as this number is, just

be enough. >> melissa: yeah. meanwhile, hospitals across the country were reportedly debating whether or not to resuscitate some coronavirus patients. why some say it might be the only way to keep medical workers on the front lines. ♪ 300 miles an hour, thats where i feel normal. i might be crazy but i'm not stupid. having an annuity tells me that i'm protected. during turbulent times, consider protected lifetime income from an annuity as part of your retirement plan. this can help you cover your essential monthly expenses. learn more at protectedincome.org . my psoriasis. cosentyx works on all of this. cosentyx treats the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis to help you look and feel better. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis.
