personal protective equipment, everything they're going to need to be able to make sure people have what they need. the numbers are growing. we expect the peak won't hit for another two weeks and we're going everything we can from a health perspective to meet the moment and make sure we have the supplies and the beds and the response necessary to help people as much as possible. >> what about paying for that? a lot of people are worried. has the state come up with a way for people who can't afford to have the test or deal with care when they become sick? >> i think people know we've had this surplus in california, this budget surplus so the governor and the legislature allocated about $1.1 billion to procure

we have three more including one down, the seton hospital, being used for the purpose. those resources have been deployed. you're covering the fact that in washington the $2 trillion aid package is about to be voted on that will help as well. also the federal government has given us a hospital ship in los angeles. they are deploying eight units of military hospital capability that will provide another 2,000 beds. we're working closely with hospitals to make sure that they can do it and we have potential there. this is all copping together. it's a very difficult time but the response is very coordinated. we think we have the resources to get there and doing everything we can to meet the

moment. >> you brought up the stimulus package. so many americans as well as californians now without a job. as hard as it is to make it now we have to deal with this situation. what is the state doing to really help those who are now without a job and don't know when they can return? >> earlier this morning you were talking about the fact that if you have a mortgage, a home mortgage from one of the five big banks in the united states, for california governor newsom negotiated a 30 day, if you have a bank of america mortgage, or up to 90 days if you have a mortgage from one of the other big banks, wells fargo or chase or u.s. bank, they're giving these pretty substantial delays in the requirements for your payments and you won't get fees. this kind of action we believe is going to help a lot.

there is a website that provides other resources, how to sign up for unemployment benefits. covid19.ca.gov. let's be real. when we're hearing a traffic report on a friday morning and there's no traffic, we know everyone feels it. our companies, our friends, their companies. and how we're all really faced with this very difficult time in terms of how we're going to get through it economically. the social distancing measures are proven to work. we are all pitching in to do our part. as strange as this new normal is, someone quipped that pitching in and helping to protect your community by sitting on your couch and watching netflix feels very counter intuitive.

and yet that is the nature of this crisis. we feel these methods scientifically are shown to make a difference in the spread of the virus and it's in our hands to do it. >> we've been seeing that happen throughout the bay area and across california. lieutenant governor, i want to thank you for joining us this morning, giving us a little insight on what's happening there in sacramento. thank you. >> thank you. >> practicing that social distancing as well from her home. i want to check with our own reporter bob redell reporting from his home this morning. bob, the lieutenant governor talked about that website that the state has set up to help people file for unemployment. let's talk about the staggering numbers filed, 3.2 million people applying for unemployment insurance just last week alone. it's really staggering numbers. >> reporter: right, laura.

thousands of californians filed for an economic relief package. if that were to pass, those who are out of work would receive an additional 13 weeks of unemployment -- >> you know what, bob -- >> reporter: an additional $600 per week -- >> you know what, bob, you're really breaking up right now. we're going to try to clear that up and then we'll check back with him in just a little bit. let's go to meteorologist kari hall who is also broadcasting from her home this morning. all clear there? yes, it is all clear. also all chilly because the heater keeps kicking on this morning trying to warm up the house. and so if you're about to head out the door, expect it in the 30s and low 40s for our micro climates. we're seeing little signs of love and hope around the bay area. as we get a look at that as well as our temperatures, bundle up. we've seen freezing conditions
