the count surpassed italy's death toll in the last few hours. america has lost 20,000 people to the disease. the deaths are more than a half million cases of coronavirus in the u.s. each one is a family and community dealing with with pandemic. this hour, we will take you across america and into some of the communities with help of reporters covering the story nationwide. let us begin here in new york. the epicenter of the outbreak. today, governor andrew cuomo gave a status update. more than 173,000 cases, 783 people died in last day. new york's total death toll is 8.600 people. he pushed back on when the states should not reopen. he said now is the time for policy, not politics.

and bill delade blasio said thal students will finish the year at home. and the decision affects more than just new york city. >> the mayor's position, he wants to close them until june. and we may do that. but we're going to do it in a coordinated sense with the other localities. it makes no sense for one locality to take an action that is not the coordinated with the others. >> is that actually invavd? . >> well, he didn't close them and he can't reopen them. >> the city's fight on the virus. alex is an is outside lennox health in greenwich village in manhattan. give us a sense how the city is dealing with the overwhelming rise? >> joshua, it's been a deadly

week. it takes care of the people we lost. funeral directors tell me the system is jammed. there is a backlog and tragically, families are waiting longer to be able to commemorate the ones they lost. new york city mayor bill delaze owe tweeting a the trenches on park island. the -- those who have not been claimed and those whose families are no able to afford a funeral. -- to be clear, it's important to note with hart island, not all cases are covid-19 cases. but for context, burial operations typically happen one day a week. now they are five days a week. that is from the department of corrections. they used to have 25 burr yells a week. now they have 25 an a day, kornlg to the mayor's office. just that increase, and specifically, an andrew cuomo announcing this week with about

bringing in additional funeral directors to help cope, to alleviate some of the pressure, signing an executive order to makes the licenses valid. the goal is to alleviate the pressure. they are the quote unquote last responders. i spoke to a funeral director here in new york. bill villanova. listen to what he had to say. >> 9/11, as tragic as it was, it brought our community, our city together, almost immediately there after. and you know, there was an executive order where people were told to -- you know, stay home and not to share and not to the support each other. we e had an opportunity to come 20eg as a country and as a stay, as a city, and here, this pandemic is ultimately tearing that fabric away. >> and joshua, just that difficulty in seeing families

not being able to grieve basically together is what i hear from a lot hof mir considerations. >> thanks, alexa. bill deblazede blasio will join sha sharpton on politics nation coming up here tonight on msnbc. new york is the nation's primary hot spot but philadelphia is on a pass. the infections on alarms rate. nbc's maura barrett is in philadelphia. i understand that hhs shut down philly's big testing site of citizens bank park. that splus an impact on the fight against the virus, right? >> reporter: yeah, the site over three weeks tested almost 3,000 individuals who are worried about having coronavirus. so with that site shutting down

and another site shutting down, affiliated with hhs in monday the gomry county, city says they are going to be reallocating and along with the testing materials to other testing sites here in city. and the mayor is advocating for additional rapid testing. he can't get a handle on what the picture looks like in the city. he is asking for additional protective equipment as well. i'm here at penn medicine where they are working on a hydroxychlo hydroxychloroquin. and it's successful in other diseases such as rheumatoid ath rits and malaria, they were using it in a trial before for cancer. they want to emphasize that testing before it goes to market is essential.

take a listen to what one of the researchers told me yesterday. >> what we can say this is this medicine has decades of experience, many, many thouds of people have taken the medicine for illnesseses. what we don't know e is whether it's worth the potential for adverse effects if it's no going to have any benefit for people. we need to assess that. >> so the researchers are telling people to be patient and not to rely on the drug as a treatment option. really focusing in on prevention. and the white house is looking at philadelphia as a next hot spot, and here in philadelphia and statewide, the officialses have been pushing back on that. state health department telling reporters they are more than prepared. are 3500 ventilators still open and 2,000 hospital beds across the state. and here at the pennsylvania

hospitals, they are exped diagnostic construction and they will open rooms for people who might need treatment. >> thank you from penn med kald at philadelphia. lately there is a lot more attention on how coronavirus is affecting people of color in philly and elsewhere. that includes in texas there is more concern there both about that and a lag in getting residents tested. according to "the houston chronicl chronicle", only 332 tests are done among 100,000. that is erroredly the nation's second lowest rate per capita. currently, texas has 12,500 confirm confirmed cases and at least 254 deaths. price se priscilla is live with the latest. tell us why texas is so far behind? >> reporter: joshua, the stay

has largely rejected criticism they are behind in testing. they see i as federal government is deploying resources where it's most needed. local hospital groups have looked at the numbers in the data they compiled and they are seeing folks show up at the hospital that are not reflected in the confirmed case numbers e we are e seeing from state. there is a concern that a number of cases might be going undetected. you hear officials call for more testing. here in houston, the moiayor tweeted, we need more testing here. the lack of ppe, we are seeing a nationwide shortage in pp thearks can slow down the ability to get the testing sighsites up and oning here as quick as possible.

the other thing we are seeing here in texas is a lag in the reporting of the results. so this week, houston saw a single day, more than 6 on 0 confirmed cases, a pretty significant jump. and you know, some of that has to do with that it's taken up to five days to e get the results. sometimes they are coming in batcheses. it makes it difficult to rurt. >> we are seeing about the disproportionate rate. and not that lie are likely to get it, but we when are infected, they are more likely to get sick and day. how is that plays out in texas? and houston, a large hispanic population? >> so the hept department actually released the numbers by race and ethnicity here in houston this week. and what they found, african-americans make up 23% of

the population but more than 50% of the deaths related to covid-19. so about 9 of patients who have died have been black out of the total 16 patients that have died in total. and so that is certainly a concern. you look at dallas county, where 72% of the cases are african-american or latinos. but another thing to note here is that in dallas county in particular, 35% of the cases have no racial or -- or data around race and ethnicity. that is an issue statewide. i spoke with state health officials. and 11,000 cases across the state of texas, they don't have a racial data for about 1800. and you know, researchers tell me it makes it hard to not only track the virus but figure out how to target resources to communities. take a listen to what researcher told me. >> we can't tell whether there is a function of the pattern of

infection and where the hot spots are, or if there is something intrinsic in racial factors. we know that chronic diseases is higher in african-american neighborhoods. >> one ming that ut has done, they have come pyred the data where the chronic illnesses are most prevalent across the city, and they are able to map out where they think some of the hot spots might be. they have done it for houston and just released a new report doing it for a number of other big cities in texas like dallas and austin. and so they hope to do more with that data to help officials figure out where to target resources, where to set up testing sites and things like that. >> thank you, that priscilla thompson from houston. easter will be very different tomorrow, including in

kentucky. the governor is telling residents to avoid gathering, almost 1700 cases and 90 dees. andy beshear said that anyone facing the orderer will face two weeks of mandatory self-quarantine. they will record the license plates of anyone attending services, and anyone who goes will bet quarantine notices. rand paul, taking license plates at church is this quarantining for canning christian on easter sunday. someone needs to take a step backer, unquote. some faith leaders have been defiant. pastor jesse harton says it

violates church and state. in the police come and tell him to end the service, he will do so. and florida is not restricting services. and last night, florida had reported nearly 18,000 cases and 419 deaths. let's get to sam brock who miami with the layest. hey, sam. >> reporter: joshua, good afternoon. this is not just a kentucky conversation. it's no just a mississippi conversation. the same sort of dialogue going on in florida right now with split narratives. one from the faith community, saying do not the go to church in person. stream your services. it's not an option where i'm standing, the arch diocese in miami, all 1009 parishes are streaming. and you have ron desantis says go to church if you are

observing social guidelines. we are waiting to see what happens tomorrow, but we have a sense in orlando, there is a church there, the pastor was touching people on the foreheads and bodies to heel them. this was palm sunday, a week ago, i spoke to the arch bishop of miami to talk about services this weekend. >> i'm the arch bishop of miami. the governor is a governor of florida. i will take care of the spiritual side of things and he will take care of the state side. we're not going to bring crowds together to put these people, our congregants in danger. >> and hay had a ban on church gathering that was undone by the state ledge slgislature.

the speaker does not want to residents in kansas have to deal with a penalty for on jefshing religion. back to you. >> thank you. that is nbc's sam brock live in miami. more to see across america here. next we will go to north carolina. how is coronavirus affecting that state's seafood industry? because when caught early, it's more treatable. i'm cologuard. i'm noninvasive and detect altered dna in your stool to find 92% of colon cancers... ...even in early stages. tell me more. it's for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your prescriber if cologuard is right for you. i'm on it. that's a step in the right direction.

we continue in america. north carolina, the water front town of beau fort is a hot spot. and now, the only ent rans is a 24-hour check point. and everyone else has to turn around. the city has reason to be concerned. north carolina's confirmed cases have skyrocketed to nearly 4,000 with more than 70 deaths. officials are ramping up

testing. fishing is one of the state's most valuable resources. commercial fishermen are hurting and seafood restaurants are closed or in limited operation. but how long can they hang on? from the nbc affiliate in greenville, north carolina, here is the story. >> reporter: it's weighed, cleaned and then sold. b. and j.'s seafood is still in business. commercial fishing hasn't been spared in the pandemic. >> right now, the biggest concern is continuing to maintain good market so the guys have confidence they can go fish. when they get in, they can sell their product. >> but maintaining the markets is a challenge. 50% of their harvest are ultimately sold to restaurant owners and they have been forced to adjust operations or close al together. >> some are take out on the. but seafood is not typically a

take out venue. they are no able to accommodate that. >> one owner who isn't able to is tom of captain ratty's. after two days of a take off, he was forced to furlough their staff. >> i was selling maybe $300 of day and spending $240. so that wasn't paying the electric or anything. >> and this business has been able to stay open but not without chings. >> we do a lot of fresh seafood dishes on hot plate. but they don't translate well to take off. >> they have been offering cooking at home male kits to create extra are revenue. coming up, california facing a surge of calls to suicide hot lines.

the influx could overwhelm the system. and plus, how coronavirus is affecting people behind bars. and we will ask the mayor of san antonio has his city is dealing with the stay at home orders, ahead.

>> i fear that those who died in the pandemic die as martyrs and i hope they die with a change in the health care system. a system where everyone has e equal the access to care and the same level of care no matter the color of their skin, size of their wallet, or whether or not they have been incarcerated or not. >> that is one of the health care workers that i have been getting well deserved thanks for the health care in a tough time. that includes bro ticketing mental call.

calls to suicide hot lines are up sharply. they threaten to overwhelm the system as cases in the state continue to rice. california has 21,300 cases and almost 600 deaths. steve patterson is live with more. what are suicide prevention workers telling you? is there something in particular that is especially different now than what they encountered on a regular day before the outbreak? >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. the trending calls is now tending towards fears about every day life. as medical workers, front line nurses and doctors continue to try to stabilize the crisis, governor officials, state officials try to stabilize the job market, it's more and more apparent that the shadow war, for lack of a better word, is on up mental help. and the hot line operators,

therapists are overe whemed with the calls they getting. and the disaster help line saw a 900% increase. last february to march, over a 300% in call volume increase. an incredible amount of people are reaching out. the call at first was worry about getting the virus or spreading the virus or being in isolation or family members. but the calls lately are more towards, you know, i have been furloughed. i have been laid off. i don't know how i'm going to make my rent. i don't know how i'm going to keep my business. as it goes on, the medical experts i'm speaking to say this will exponentially increase. and it's going to be dealing with it after current crisis

stabilizes. >> let me ask you about the governor's response. the mayor says that the l.a. quarantine could take longer effect. and governor newsom is he is acting a nation staid, come pyred what to what the trump up station is doing. that is an impact how california dealing with it compared to the rest of the country. >> reporter: yeah, california has been single theed out almost from the very start of it, leader getting ahead of the stay at home order. the governor has been incredibly strong in his messages able eye lags. i have my twitter aer wills set to anything he tweets. and my phone is almost dying every day, just because he's been such the publish face of this, getting out in front of the messages every day. the nation comment is coming with a little bit of backlash but a lot of people will see he

is willing to take a partnership role with the federal government, he has donated medical masks and the n-95s will come in the millions every month. he has added $6 million to medical benefits. he is partnered with fema to find homeless places to stay. and we are under so much stretch and undue burden as is rest of the country, they looking for any messages they can to stay on track. as we have mentioned. >> just briefly to confirm. californians are getting another $600 a per? >> no, they are getting an additional $600. fy if i said it, they are getting $600 on top of benefits they will get.

welcome extra support. but not per week. on top of of what they are already getting. >> thank you. that is steve patterson reporting from los angeles. colorado reported its biggest one day jump in coronavirus cases this week. confirmed cases passed 6500 with 250 deaths. the situation can be deadier for americans behind bars. they mansion to get the inmates and staff safe as well. that is the focus of the latest podcast into america. hosted by tremaine lee. he joins us now with a preview. you spoke to a colorado woman who is struggling to keep in touch with her husband who is behind bars. tell us about it? >> reporter: that's right. many people know, when you are family member of someone who

carare incarcerated and you are serving time with them. phone calls and emails. because of the spread of the coronavirus, states across the country, particularly in colorado, officials have put them on a modified lack lockdown, isolation, and on the outside, they can practice social distancing. they don't have that option inside the prison. that isolation, to a lot of folks who have been around the block a few times in prison, it feels punitive. the phone calls are harder to make. all the visits have been c canceled. i spoke to the woman who said now she is in the able to keep in constant communication with her husband, she is fearful and does not e whoa what is going on behind bars. >> the pad cost takes us here in new york where one inmate worn warned if the coronavirus were to infiltrate there, it would spread like wildfire.

>> yeah, j.j. velazquez is serving a long prison senn sense. he likened the feel right now to what he felt after 9/111. there is a feeling of fear, great anxiety. you can cut with it a knife. let's listen to what he told us. >> the fear is real. that -- prison is a place where when there's tension, you can feel it tension in the air. you can feel the fear in the air. when you walk around, it's thick. it's thick. >> so there's great concern on the part of inmates who, as j.j. mentioned, the anxiety and fear is thick. but there is concern about the staff and guards and correction officers who are coming in and out of the facility every day. i posted this story on my time line on twitter, and people went crazy, saying these are animals and scum bags and krcriminals,

the 2.3 million people incarcerated, 97% will come back to the community. but staff and guards coming in and out. we don't care of the inmate population, we are not taking care of the folks that have to interact with them every day. there is great concern on the part of family members of the folks behind bars, the inmates themselves and also the correction sfeofficers and staf. if they getting sick, it might great a dangerous situation in a violent, poorly run prison that is struggling with issues. >> thank you. that is trymaine lee. listen and sub skrscribe where get your podcasts. now we are off to san antonio texas. leaders are traying to prevent it from being next covid-19 hot the spot. they are tracking infections by zip codes. the goal is to catch patterns.

san antonio's mayor ron nirenberg. welcome to the program. >> good afternoon. thanks for having me. >> you have said if someone violates order onner they will be dealt with. you twooted, your social life is not worth anybody's actual life. well said. very true. are people listening? >> i think the vast majority of folks are. we can hope for compliance with with the stay at home orderers if we are not depending on common sense to keep people alive. but there are knuckle heads that take it as a badge of honor to defy these up kinds of orders that we know are -- the intent of keeping people alive and healthy. so they will be dealt with. we have issued violations, first

warnings and educate folks if they don't know what the regulations are. we issue warnings and violations. if someone will continue to put their neighbors, employees at risk, we will take further action to enforce the order. >> let's play a clip that congressman castro, in his conversation with msnbc, they talked about the big disparity, the racial disparity in infections and death. here is what congressman castro said. >> in san antonio, you talk about racial disparities. african-americans make up 7% of the population and so far, 36% of the deaths. >> so african-americans are overindex overindexing by almost five times from san antonio's death toll in covid-19. they are legacy issues that black and brown folk have been

dealing with forever. is there anything you can do as a mayor to do about ha? or does it problem have to be solved higher up? >> there is. even if there is action at the federal and state level, it falls on local governments to solve problems. san antonio, a state with one of the lowest rates of under insured in the country, is work with nonprofits and organizations, foundations to stand up community care clinics that be provide for basic preventati preventative health care. with the case of coronavirus and the work we have to do to make sure we reproper assessment of our community, we have been emphasizing, you don't need a pcp. you don't need a doctor. you don't need a health plan. you don't need health insurance to get tested. and we have been canvassing

communities that are left behind. san antonio is a community of color. and we want to make sure when we get through it, we are building a health care system in our city. >> that is ron nirenberg in san antonio, texas. thanks for walk talking to you. >> thanks very much. >> coming up, helping small children with coronavirus. sesame street has tips to help with social distancing and staying at home. to your home...or car. and we covered it all. ah, memory lane sure has a lot of accidents. we know a thing or two about bundling and saving. so get a quote today. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪
