i made this point in our visit, pat and judy, in bergen county today at new bridge. bergen county, if you would have put up its fatalities of 876 lives lost, would be more than most countries in the world right now. so let's not forget the toll. by the way, essex literally has eclipsedy, just today, bergen's toll. so you'd say the same thing about essex. sadly, some of the other counties up there, hudson would be not terribly far behind. race, just to say i'm thrilled that i'm signing that bill, that will allow us -- it's going to require the hospitals to report in with a regular rhythm, with a lot more texture on the -- not just race clearly, but a lot more democrat graffings -- demographic information. race hand been particularly concerning to judy and me and our teams. in the sense that again, explicitly on the fatalities, the african-american numbers continue to run consistently 50% higher than the overall representation of the state. i think you began to give us a sense yesterday, at least on testing, that the latino numbers were meaningfully higher than the rep

even more encouraging is bergen county in the northeast. that is the other one that is lightly shaded. bergen county is just under 9000 cases and 390 fatalities. the fact that that is beginning to show that shape, we get other counties that continue to clock over. , too are good early signs early to spike any footballs. those are two important early signs. as we noted yesterday, we may want to go back to the hospitalization numbers. the data as it is reported by hospitals to the new jersey hospital association, it is just a snapshot. judy will want me to remind you of that. this is not a movie, it is a snapshot of a moment in time. we are here earlier than usual, there me -- there may be overnight changes that are not reflected in that data. additionally, with the heaviest of hearts we know that we have lost another 233 of our fellow residents since yesterday. that total number stand that 1 932. precious lives lost and now a total of 1932 precious lives lost. allow me to tell a couple of brief stories about a few of these folks. this pictur

you look at bergen county, slammed hardest in terms of positive cases, and i agree in terms of testing reality, but more importantly lives, precious lives lost. essex county, newark being the county seat there, hudson county right on the river, those three counties lead the way, both in positive tests, illnesses, and sadly fatalities. and it is part of the new york, metro new york reality without question. >> governor, the governor suggested, these governors, you would be shocked what they ask you for, it is like you can't believe they can use the amounts they're asking for, they just ask. it is never enough. are you anywhere near over capacity with absolutely anything that you need to fight the virus? >> the stark answer, chris, is no, and that doesn't mean we don't have open lines and doesn't mean we haven't gotten support because we have. the lines are open, we've gotten support. for ventilators. we made progress but we're way short. we're way short on personal protective equipment, again, we have stepped in, we've never been in this business before. the state of new jersey has boug

same sixtests, the counties have the overwhelming bulk, bergen, hudson, essex, union, the sex -- to say it -- those six counties continue to be the ones that were hit the hardest. on hospitalization, it is the first, the african american numbers is broadly consistent with the representation among sadly but in both cases about 50% more than the representation in our society. we will talk more about that on monday when we talk about how we see the principles that will guide us. the hispanic fatalities have been about the representation. this is the second data point you have had this week. i want to make sure folks know that we are highlighting that. these are hospitalizations. that is now more consistent with the new york city experience. well,ould be about 50% as higher than the representation communities in our state but not translating into fatalities. that is something we will totinue -- before i turn pat, i question for the house, any theories anecdotal or otherwise so we know hospitalizations have begun to come down. beds isu beds --icu about flat. ventilator use has come down. any

the county breakdown of the new cases is as follows. atlantic, nine, bergen, 300, bowing 10, 39, camden, 56. cape may, 12. cumberland, numeral four. essex, 205. gloucester, 19. hudson, 220. hundred income of 14. mercer, 47. middlesex, 223. monmouth, 118. morris, 90. ocean, 97. passaic, 128. salem, 3. somerset, 47. sussex, 16. union, 152. warren, 15. we are still gathering more details on 1600 75 these new cases. point, 110 of our long-term care facilities in the onee have reported at least covid-19 case. , we ared previously concerned for our most vulnerable populations and long-term care facilities, psychiatric hospitals, gross home -- group homes, and prisons. we continue to monitor these areas closely and on a regular basis. along with the governor, i want to thank all the new jersey residents who are following the guidance to stay at home. social distancing is the best spread have two slow the of this illness. the importance of social by ancing was underscored cbc study released yesterday that demonstrated that also insion can occur the absence of symptom

bergen county as you know you lived it was ground zero for news new jersey.the northeastern part of our state that are the big commuter counties into new york city are the ones that are been crushed and hit the hardest. as soon as we can responsibly get the health challenges under control, i put a 6 point plan out on monday, 4 points of those are healthcare related. that's why testing -- our testing discussion with the president, for instance, today will be really important. and i deeply appreciate their partnership on that. so, i hope sooner than later, steve, we are -- we have got to check through the healthcare, the curve has got to come down. the testing has got to get ramped up. we have got to be able to contact trace and isolate. i think when we have that in place and i hope that's sooner rather than later by the way. we can begin to take the steps that we all want to take. steve: governor, does your gut tell you it's going to be in may? >> you know i said the other day it's a matter of weeks and not months. i would leave it there. again, the most impor

five counties are staying about the same in terms of positive cases. i will just read them in order. bergenessex, hudson, union, passaic. it's the same cluster of the northeast counties. covering is face the recommendation from the cdc. to dovetail that with -- and that is something that i will speak for all of us that we will all take seriously. it's hard to do a press conference with a face covering and we are staying six feet apart. we will take their advice ourselves. cloth face covering is not a face mask necessarily and certainly it isn't a surgical or n95. and i would just beg people, don't go out and have a run on the very masks that are health-care workers, first responders. and by the way, they don't even have enough. never mind expanding it out to the other folks we want to expand it to. please don't compound the challenge we already have. bear with me. the notification on long-term care facilities. i just want to repeat. we mean business on that. if these facilities don't do the proper communication by monday, we will communicate directly to you in this forum or on some other fo

we weren't very happy that abbott picked new jersey as one of its first states, particularly in bergen countyich is the county this virus has hit the hardest, and we're hoping that the back logs -- we can pass through as past as possible and expand the testing as quickly as possible. i think we're the fifth most tests of any state in america, but we still need more. >> brennan: the national association of governors released a bipartisan letter yesay, callgfor about $5n unrestricted aid for states. and asking congress to give that money. why is the money that the federal reserve has made available, why is that not enough? >> governor: well, it's both. it is not one in lieu of the other. the fed's steps are important, and we hope to take our steps to take advantage of them. but that is no replacing direct cash on the barrel to states assistance from the federal government. either from the cares act from a couple of weeks ago, or from any other steps that will be taken. i support completely the n.g.a.s ask of $500 million. and governor cuomo in new york and others said our four states, we need $

at hackensack medical in bergen county, new jersey. it was horrific. of the gifts i gave myself -- sorry, my mom, i taught her how to use a videochat. calling from an e.r. room stuck with another woman. they didn't have a laboratory, using a bedside latrine type of thing. and it was horrific. she spent 30 hours there and i just started bawling my eyes out. i couldn't believe it, and they finally moved her up to the icu floor and had a nebulater-type mask. she said she had the virus. suspected it. didn't confirm. i told her listen to them and do what they tell you to do and they'll take care of you and i told her i loved her. she said i have to sleep on my stomach and i had a minute and a half to say good-bye to my mom not thinking she would be on life support the following morning, not realizing that that was good-bye. >> yeah. >> i know we're running out of time here, but there are people whose most personal experience with covid is watching it on tv and i'm not making light of that either, because there are people who are so concerned about their job

right now into bergen county, more details on that to come as we know more.t is a modest first step but an important first step. according to tom, he and his ab bott colleagues will continue to wrap up the ability to get that piece of equipment into as many hands as possible, or access as much as possible. as i said all along, it takes a village. in this case, i want to tip the cap to abbott labs. switching gears to the topic of personal protective equipment, or ppe. i will ask pat callahan to say a few words before we go to q&a about both ppe and compliance, or lack thereof. last night, we received a shipment of ppe, another one. this is now our fourth shipment out of fema. it consisted of more than 260,000 pieces, including masks and gloves. again, deep appreciation. we are grateful for it. it by no means alleviates our the for more ppe. we work every single avenue to get more ofor our state and front-line responders, and to ensure our community health personnel have what they need as well. this fight is not just in our hospitals. it gives a i think quick g

brian, with a big welcome to you because i know you're coming off a 12-hour shift there in bergen county, it is the site of the largest outbreak in the state. tell me what you have been seeing. >> thank you so much for having me, alex. my role as a paramedic right now is that many of us have been brought in to the hospital to help supplement, obviously, the large amount of patients we're seeing in the hospital right now. and paramedics are uniquely suited to fit this role. my responsibilities are code blue and rapid response coverage for the entire hospital. paramedics are advanced cardiovascular life support certified so we fill this role well. what it does is allow the critical care nurses who normally serve on the teams to free them up to focus on the care of covid-positive patients in the hospital. >> i have to tell people a little asterisk by you and what you're doing. you were on your way for a board exam to get your medical doctor degree, which is pretty extraordinary how hard you have been working for that. that's going to be put on hold for a wee bit. something that has happened

he lived in bergen county for the past 50 years. born in the dominican republic. he was a pioneering physician in the 1960s. he became one of the very first dominican physicians to open a clinic in the united states in new york city's washington heights where he tended to patients for more than 40 years. he and his wife nilda recently celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary along with their six children and extended family and friends. and as i say in this photo, he's with his son sid, who is a dear friend. we send our condolences to everybody who knew him. obviously, most importantly, his family. to sid and his fellow family members, what a life. we also lost diana tennant of monmouth county. she worked for many years at the fulfill food bank of monmouth and ocean counties helping to feed countless families. she was a leader within the latino coalition of new jersey and was a past chair of the latino festival. a festival that i've been to several times in monmouth county. she is remembered by her friends as someone who always had time to lend a hand. diana was

i'm told we have these in bergen county but they're not deployed. why haven't they been deployed? there needs to be like a streamline, a czar, somebody needs to take control of this. somebody who has army experience. if you're going to call it a war treat it like a war. if you're going to treat it like a war then have a soldier on the front line. >> the last administration used russell oneray who had plenty of military experience to run the recovery in the gulf coast. it does seem as if somebody with military logistics -- you've just made an incredible case -- just a logistics argument. good luck to you, sir. thanks for coming on and expressing your views. i appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> the white house coronirus is about to begin and as we said yesterday and as we're going to keep saying as we take the daily briefings, we know not everything is informative or relevant in the midst of this crisis though yesterday was a reminder that it is one of those days when we did get a lot of news and it was an important briefing to sit through. the white house itself is proje

steve: that's interesting that you said that bergen county is going to be one of the first spots forse yesterday, dr. siegel, dr. birx and dr. fauci when they presented the data they looked at the modeling and, you know, there's a good case scenario if we do the mitigation, there's a bad case scenario if we don't do so much and so going forward, our approach to it is going to impact all of us. here are both of them yesterday, from the white house. listen to this. >> that can skew to a higher peak and more significant mortality. if all of the other states are able to hold that case number down, then it's a very different picture, but you have to predict on the data you have which is heavily skewed to new york and new jersey. >> the cluster of other cities that are not new york and not new jersey, if we can suppress that from any kind of a spike, the numbers could be significantly lower than what we're talking about. steve: and dr. siegel that sounds good, dr. fauci said it's tough, it's inconvenient but what we're doing is the answer. >> you know, steve, i think that's extremely impor
