murphy: we think we can withstand the amount of beds, but if we take our foot off of the gas, you can fill that tatement out the window. we have got to stay home until further notice. we cannot think that we are in the end zone. we are not close to the end zone. judy makes another point, it is beds and ventilators and ppe and health-care workers and medicines that allow it to take place. you had a question on nursing homes? >> have there been any relocations or facilities with have been so many deaths that they need to be closed? do you have a dashboard on nursing? >> one total relocation. that facility has been totally clean and decontaminated and we will work with the sisters after the holiday to bring that back p. gov. murphy: thank you. >> gov., you have constitutional borrowing power without voter approval during times of war or acts of god. is that a possibility for this budget process? also, we ask this every day -- how many new jerseyans are in nursing homes, how many patients are positive, and omni have died. can you please include this on the portal every day? finally, you h

and is there beds and availabilities for those? gov. murphy: we will have to make the question shorter because we will run out of time. do you want to hit any of those? >> in terms of the discharges from the hospitals, that is a stepwise process. at this point, we do expect 20 to 25 of the discharges to be in the medical station by this afternoon. we were hoping to take those people with low acuity perhaps to be discharged in three or four days and have them in the field medical. concurrent with that, we are bringing up some hotels for those individuals that perhaps have tested positive and need to quarantine and do not have a home. our situation allows them to isolate or quarantine to the number of days they would go to a hotel. we are working to bring up some of those hotels. i don't know if we have anybody in the dorms but we do have a number of dorms that are available throughout the state that is primarily for health-care workers who for whatever reasons maybe they are in quarantine and cannot go home to protect their family, they can sta

go,heavily used, ready to 2900 beds and we have the ship set for covid if they want to use it, using it for governor murphy in new jersey. so we will see what happens. the numbers are coming way down. the ventilators, we're all set. we have a lot to go if we want, knocking cutting calls where we need ventilators anymore, so we were right on those ventilators. i would love to have additional ventilators for countries that are allies and friends. even if they are not our allies and friends, you are saving human lives. we're making a lot of ventilators right now. they take a while to make and are very expensive and complex helpke, but i'd love to other countries once we are taken care of. i just sent 100 ventilators to and that was great. the senator there who is a terrific senator, cory gardner , and he called me last night

murphy believed the evidence spoke for itself. >> there is an image of this young woman in the hospital with her dog sitting on her bed. talk about a picture saying 1,000 words. it screams out that this is an innocent woman who came very close to being murdered by a really bad guy and fought bravely and survived. >> reporter: the prosecutor said it was an easy decision. this was self-defense. case closed. did a feeling come with that? >> a sense of relief that it's, like, finally over. >> reporter: john meehan's ex-wife, tonia bales, was working when she got the news. do you remember that moment? >> oh, yeah. it made me tremble. i was in the middle of a case, and it just -- it popped up on the screen as a notification. "john was killed." by the time i took the patient outta the room, i was in tears. yeah. i wasn't in tears 'cause he died. i was in tears 'cause i had to tell his children. and that made me very sad to have to tell them. it was awful.

the state's democratic governor phil murphy said his state is trying to stay ahead of the need for hospital beds and equipment. an "state of the union" governor murphy said "the house is on fire. we have to put the fire on the house out and then we have to get back on our feet. then at that point, we have to look back and say, what could we have done differentntly?" forr more, we're joined from new jersey by my cohost juan gonzalez, who is joining us from his home in new brunswick. juan, hohow are you anand your family doing? juan: first of all, welcome to all of our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. homehas now h hit directly in the last weekek or so. 92-year-old mother got sicick last week. her caregiver in new york k city fellede she lived was and had a hihigh feverer and hao quaranantine. therefore,e, she was left alone. my wife andnd i clearly had t to to the bronx, , get herr come ad bring g her here to new w bruns. she had no one else to carare fr her. shee had no fever, though, but she had intends abdominal pain and we trieded to seeee if we cd deal with

bed space. in new jersey, i spoke today with governor murphy and 500 ventilators announced today being build on at-on and coordi. if the need is there and also opening up the va beds. i spoke with governor john bell edwards in louisiana and was encouraged to hear from him that as you heard dr. birx says that new cases were down slightly. in fact, we are seeing a trend of some leveling among all the governors i spoke to today. and i know we'll continue to send support and supplies. i spoke with governor whitmer and mayor mike dugan and the city of detroit. governor whitmer and i spoke about a new program in detroit that'll make hydroxychloroquine available for 3,000 patients through the henry ford hospitals. they'll be tracking in a formal study, the results of that. we are more prepare to make hydroxychloroquine broadly available and pharmacies. i also heard from mayor duggan, he was so grateful for the fda. we'll be exploiting hydroxychloroquine. may may mayor duggan told me he was able to use the 15-minute tests to test 150 first responders who have been sidelined because they have been expose

new jersey governor phil murphy said they're trying to keep ahead of the hospital bed and the idea thaternors have given up by needing stuff is not based on fact. >> daniel dale, appreciate your time. >>> there are new concerns about using hydroxychloroquine for treating the coronavirus. we'll tell you what you need to know. when managing diabetes you can't always stop for a fingerstick. with the freestyle libre 14 day system, a continuous glucose monitor, you don't have to. with a painless, one-second scan you can check your glucose with a smart phone or reader so you can stay in the moment. no matter where you are or what you're doing. ask your doctor for a prescription for the freestyle libre 14 day system. you can do it without fingersticks. learn more at freestylelibre.us. >>> president trump continuing to push an unproven treatment for the coronavirus even as concerns mount about the risks the drug may pose to people with cardiovascular disease, so here's what he said about hydroxychloroquine at tonight's briefing. >> furthermore, over the last seven days my administration has dep

murphy: and also we are short ventilators, ppe, beds, workers. if we flipped the switch and said general public, you need to wear masks -- we do not have the masks. reality. federal you have seen articles today saying the federal stockpile is about -- diminishing with an x ordinary outpouring of donations and manufacturing, but fair to say we are not remotely close to being able to mask everybody. >> is it a bad idea for people to do that, they can use a scarf or something else? comm. persichilli: i will let -- we have tobout understand that if you are taking care of a covid-19 patient, you should be wearing an n95. they are in very, very short supply. masks are generally to protect people from you, not necessarily to protect you from what is around you. it does not take the place of social distancing. it does not take the place of staying at home. the mask protects other individuals. there is some level of protection. in can read about that general newspapers, but, at the end of the day, it is more to and can be cloth or flat faced, surgical. dr

beds. >> governor murphy and governor cuomo are going to be using ship, new york, new jersey, big ship.s set for covid. and we are going to hopefully that will be very helpful to both states. steve: that all comes as a crew member on board the comfort has tested positive for coronavirus. here with an update is the demanding general of the u.s. army corps of engineers lieutenant general todd semoni semonite. todd, good morning to you, it's troubling that there is somebody who tested positively on board the comfort. and i know that you, over the last couple of weeks, have been gearing up for new york, which is, according to the governor, who thinks we could actually be hitting the apex right now, regarding the javits center, just out of curiosity, the big facility you built in new york, what's sort of capacity are you at right now? >> so, steve, we are glad to be on and to be able to share this story of you who the entire federal teams standing up a lot of these facilities, javits center was initially assigned around 2900. and, again, the original intent was to be able to be non-covid. ha

beds to help overburden hospitals. but they will accept only non- coronavirus patients. in nearby new jersey, governor murphy announced more than 22,000 cases and 355 deaths. >> every single one of these lost lives is irreplaceable. >> reporter: in florida a field hospital was set up at the miami fairgrounds. with the number of cases around 7,000, governor desantis announced a statewide stay-at- home order except for essential services. >> i think even though there's a lot of places in florida with low infection rates, it will make sense to make this move now. >> reporter: amid the shortages of the protective gear, one nurse in a chicago area who didn't want to be identified says her hospital won't allow her to wear her own n95 mask because of a policy against masks in the hallways. but she won't comply. >> and it is either you see me with my mask on and let me protect myself, my family, and my patients, or you just don't see me at all. >> reporter: nurses across the country have been protesting the shortage of protective gear. more demonstrations are planned for this week. although playgrounds are closed he

beds and lack of materials. >> one of the shocking things, dr. murphy, that dr. fauci said to savannah guthrie this morning on the "today" show was that the u.s. will go the way of italy. that it's not unavoidable. >> i think several weeks ago there was a discussion about whether we would be south korea or italy, in terms of whether we would be a country that was able to very quickly flatten the curve, so to speak, and reduce the peak number of infections or whether we would see the ast astronomic rise like italy has seen. and we're going in that direction. the reason is we're still in a struggle to get up our testing, so that means we're not able to see where the virus is at all times. we were late to the game when it came to putting stay-at-home orders in place and we still don't have every state in the country that is enforcing those rules. now we're struggling to get frontline health care workers, the protection they need. andr andrea, to me this feels very personal and painful. i hear from my of my colleagues in medicine, doctors, nurses, respiratory therapi

murphy: i don't want to overstate this. people will think we got up on the wrong side of the bed here, but it long time for these operators to put forward the information that we loved ones and others, media, to your credit, have been asking to do that. and secondly, we believe the numbers are overwhelmingly direction neal accurate even though there may be several discrepancies. i forget your second piece. maybe that was it. we got it, judy? >> 701 law enforcement statewide tested positive and as of this morning, 871 are out statewide quarantine. governor murphy: thank you, commissioner. dr. tan, thank you for everything you are doing. colonel. jared, matt, great to have you back. as of the moment, there is at least not one that we know of in erms of a white house v.t.c. tomorrow. we are back together at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow, is that accurate? and if that changes, we'll let you know. not only do i thank you for your patience and coming out every day, i would say to everybody out there, we have clearly come an he normous distance. we are clearly headed in the right direction. everything overwhelmingly tells us that. but with th

we're seeing in terms of the "comfort" in new jersey, governor murphy says he got a call from washington earlier today saying some of those beds will now be turned over for covid patients on board the "comfort" will go to patients from new jersey. he didn't have a specific number of how many. when you look at the 2,500 beds behind me at the javits center, the thousand on board the "comfort," these beds are what the governor is calling the relief valve for the rest of the state. >> erica hill, thank you so much. >>> a heated argument inside the white house has spilled into the public. sources tell cnn the president's top trade adviser, pete are navarro, lashed out at dr. anthony fauci during a meeting in the situation room last night after fauci warned there is no direct proof that an antimalarial drug can help treat coronavirus. navarro, who is not even remotely a medical expert, disagreed with dr. fauci, who is the head of infectious diseases at the national institutes of health. when asked on cnn earlier today why navarro's credentials as an economist make him more qualified than a top doctor, perhaps the top doctor in infec
