new york city. i have a house in westchester. i work in new york city. who is supposed to trace me, westchester or new york city? if i turn up positive, my residence is in westchester county, but i work in new york city, and i would have contacted many more people in new york city than i did in westchester, because that is where i am contacting people. work inn suffolk, but i new york city. i am a police officer who has a house in rockland, but i work in new york city. i am a firefighter who lives in rockland or orange, but i work in new york city area die live in new jersey, but i work in the city. -- new york city. i live in new jersey, but i work in the city. all those connections, if you are going to do these tracing operations, you cannot do it just within your own county because you will quickly run into people who are cross jurisdictional. understand that going in. blur the governmental jurisdictions because they don't really make sense. put everybody together, work together. harder done then

so far nassau, new york city, westchester, rockland. u cannot make a decision just within new york city without coordinating that decision with the whole metropolitan region, because it all works together. so when we decided to close the schools, i spoke to nassau, i spoke to suffolk, i spoke to new york city, i spoke to westchester, and we closed all of the schools at once. any decision to reopen them will also be a coordinated decision. the mayor has an opinion on new york city. the county executive of nassau will have an opinion on nassau. sleep alone will have an opinion on the sussex. george latimer have an opinion in westchester. i want to coordinate all of those opinions and reopen them at the same time. i would also like to, ideally, coordinate that with connecticut and new jersey. so whatever we do, we do all at the same time. i know the mayor's position, which is he wants to close them until june. we may do that. if we do that, we may do it with all localities. it makes no sense for a locality to make a move that does not coord

new york city, the apex, is either very soon or we are on a plateau. do what you can then and then we redeploy. we talk about the family of new york, right? i must've said that one million times. family of new york. yes, yes, yes. what does family of new york mean? mutuality, cooperation, sharing benefits and burdens. ok. this is the time the family has to come together. this is the time. not just out of spirit and love. out of necessity. you cannot handle this. without your brothers and sisters. you can't. reporter: governor, can we get a update on the front line workers who have tested positive? gov. cuomo: what update would you like? reporter: how many there are? what the plans are? gov. cuomo: we can get you numbers for that. i don't know off the top of my head. do you know how many health care workers have tested positive? >> we will find out. gov. cuomo: look, oh, yeah. you have a problem across the board on number of essential staff who get sick. you have it in the police department, you have it in fire department, and the health care system as i

in new of the workforce york city comes from outside of new york city or leaves new york city to go work in that area. it has to work for the whole region or does not work. >> howdy will you respond -- how will you respond to localities who say they will continue to be shut down ab after the state would like them to be shut down? how are you planning to manage that relationship? i work cooperatively with all the local governments. suffolk, new york city, westchester, new jersey, netiquette, that we can all get on -- connecticut, that we can all get on the same page. at the end of the day, there is one page. there is one page and there is one plan. hopefully suffolk agrees. nassau agrees. new york city agrees. can tou do the best you come up with mutual agreement. at the end of the day, you have one plan that is the plan you have to go with. >> when you say there is one plan, are you talking about your own plan, governor? gov. cuomo: no. why don't we do this again for you? i noticed sunday. is jersey, -- i know it sunday. new jersey, connecticut, new york. how do you get three states to a

people hear new york and they think new york city. yes, we have new york city. we also have upstate new york, north country, which is predominantly rural or suburban. and you see different situations across this state. this is not a homogenous state , , so the mohawk valley 2.6%. , north country, 1.2%. hudson valley, 10%, but that has westchester and rockland in it. fingerlike some western new -- central new york, western new york 7.1. western new york is the high point of the state. hudson valley has westchester and rockland. we had a significant problem in westchester and less so in rockland. when you see 1.2% in the north country, 2.6 mohawk valley, capital district, you see a much different situation than when you are looking at in new york city where you are in the 20's, right? different situations, different strategy going forward. state,coordinating as a coordinating with our neighboring states, but you still have to take into consideration the variations across the state. that is what we are trying to navigate. by race, you see the percent for asians has

york city won't be able to come back. nework city fought back after the fiscal crisis, fought back after 9/11, and after hurricane sandy. maria: so how do you do it? >> there's no question in my mind we must have the support of the federal government to do this because right now to be able to have a strong economy again and really restart, we have to be able to provide the basic services that have made this place work, police, fire, sanitation, health care, education, the things that have made new york city strong and allowed us to get through this crisis are now in the crosshairs because we've lost $7.4 billion, that's our projection from our budget, 7.4 billion in lost revenue, 3.5 billion in new expenses to pay for the coronavirus and the fight to save lives, over 10 billion combined. the federal government must make us whole for us to be able to be in a position to restart. if we're not whole and new york city is not whole it will drag down the entire region and it will holdup the entire national economic restart. if we a

people here in new york, they think new york city. yes, we have new york city. we also have upstate new york. north country. which is predominantly rural, or suburban. and you see different situations across this state. this is not a homogenous state. north country is 1.2%. capital district 2.1. hudson valley 10% but that has westchester and rockland in it. southern tier, finger lakes, western new york, 7.1. western new york is the high point upstate. hudson valley, again, has westchester, rockland, we had a significant problem in westchester, less so in rockland. that skews that number. but when you see 1.2% in the north country, 2.6 capital district, you see a much different situation than you're looking at in new york city when you're in the 20s, right? so different situations, different strategy going forward. we're coordinating as a state. we're coordinating with our neighboring states. but you still have to take into consideration the variations across the state and that's what we're trying to navigate. by race you see the percent for asians is ticked up, a

about a third of the workforce in new york city comes from outside of new york city or leaves newer city to go to work in that area. it has got to work for the whole region or it does not work. reporter: how will you respond to localities who say we are going to continue to shut down after the state would like it to be shut down? how would you respond to a locality that does that? cooperativelywork with all the local governments and i hope nassau, suffolk, new york city, westchester, new jersey, connecticut can all get on the same page. that is the ideal. day,at the end of the there is one page, right? one page and one plan. nassauly suffolk agrees, agrees, westchester agrees, new york city agrees, you know, but you do the best you can to come up with mutual agreement. at the end of the day you have one plan. gov. cuomo: when you reporter: when you say there is one plan are you talking about your own plan? gov. cuomo: no. new jersey, connecticut, new york -- that is the trick to come up with one page. how do you get three states to agree on one plan? it is hard. great, but it is difficul

even in new york city you have two basic hospital systems in new york city. you have the private hospitals, voluntary hospitals, about 160 of them. which are some of the finest health care institutions in the united states of america. this is mount sinai, columbia presbyterian, etc. some of their members are also upstate. but they are the large private institutions. greater new york hospital association. that is an association of 160. you then have in new york city the public hospitals. the new york city hospital and hospitals corporation. they are 11 public hospitals. they are a universe and then you have the private hospitals as a separate universe. the 11 public hospitals are the hospitals that in many ways have always been under greater stress and greater need. we have to get those two systems, the private system and the public system in new york city working together in a way they never did before. the distinction of private-public, that has to go out the window. we are one health care system. on top of that, it can't be the downstate hospitals and the u

remember new york city so much larger than westchester, nassau or suffolk. numbers are concerning and we're watching those. you look to see in nassau county, 1,000 new cases, suffolk county, 1,141 new cases. that is troubling news. number of counties, you see the entire state, every county in the state now has reported a coronavirus case. we said it was going to march across the state. i've also made the point to my colleagues, every phone call i do with the other governors and other officials, i say it's going to march across the country. it's false comfort to say, well, we are a rural community, we don't have the density of new york city. that is a false comfort. you have counties in new york state where you have more cows than people. new york state, don't think of just new york city. upstate new york is a rural community. you see it's not just urban areas. it's suburban areas. that's westchester, nassau, suffolk, comparable to suburban communities all across this country. and we have rural communities that are comparable to rural communities all across th

but this city is fighting back with everything we've got. >> that was new york city mayor bill de blasiohere he praised two companies that have converted operations to produce surgical gowns. they'll be making 300,000 gowns by the end of this month. we have new numbers from the emergency field hospital that has popped up in central park. craig melvin joins us from central park where he will be doing his entire show the next hour live from there and elsewhere throughout the rest of the week. craig, good to talk to you, my friend. talk to us about those numbers and what you're seeing on the ground behind you. >> reporter: okay. just the update on the numbers here. good to see you, ayman. this, of course, is the good samaritan's field hospital that we've been talking about. at last check, they had some 41 patients inside those tents. three of those patients are in intensive care. they were able to release five patients yesterday. we're told they expect to be able to release a few more patients today as well. so some promising news. of course this is that emergency field hospital that was se

in new york city alone, we are saying 200 to 300 people dying their homes a day -- per day in n new yorkity. inside their homes in addition to the hospitalizations. these numbers you are seeing, all in all, many of them are confirmed coronavirus cases as youu menentioned, many people 't have access to tests so a lot of these deaths -- there are many more that are uncounted, that are being counted as pneumumonia working counted as other causes of d death because those people were not able to get a covid-19 test. many ofditional deaths, them are unnecessary. they arere deaths of incompeten, death of science deninial, of inequality. it is important for us to acknowledge how unnecessary the level of crisis that we are at right now that is due to the incompetence of this administration and due to the lack of responsiveness of this administration. and when it comes to the paicularly c cruelty to undocumented immigrant's, it is also a f form of denial of the fact many of these undocumented people pay taxes, fund our public schools, and fund thehe very public health system that they are being de

we need to ramp up and do community testing throughout new york city. den, the former head of the cdc and new york city health commissioner, said that in order to get back we need extensive covid testing, isolation for those that we know were infected, contact tracing. he called it a coronavirus control corp. we need that from the federal government to actually get that up and going. >> corey johnson, thank you for spending some time with us. please come back. let's keep this conversation going. >> thank you. i just want to say this, nicolle. >> sure. >> one of the most painful times that our city has ever seen, it's really important, just like your previous guest gave some hope, it's important that new yorkers feel hope. we got through the fiscal crisis of the 1970s together. we got through 9/11 together. we got through the great recession together and we got through hurricane sandy together. we will get through this together. new yorkers are resilient and we need to be one new york. that's how we're going to get through this. new yorkers have banded to

very specific challenges for very specific businesses, massive challenges were big cities like new york city. small, medium, large businesses will go belly up if we are not careful. no amount of government aid is going to solve that problem. lifelong dreams will be shattered, lives will be ruined. the hardship under those circumstances could go on for years. the tall, the misery will be like unlike anything we've ever seen in modern history. but for some reason, you've got many doomsday democrats, media mob people, and the completely and totally responsible for over whatever background, they want to shut down seemingly to continue indefinitely regardless of facts that are on the ground. for example, yesterday one of joe biden's top advisors zeke emanuel called for the shutdown to constitute, to continue for another 18 months. is he out of his mind? take a look. speaker realistically? covid-19 will be here for the next 18 months or more. we will not be able to return to normalcy until we find a vaccine or effective medications. i know that is dreadful news to hear. if we prematurely end

african-american and latinos are in this survey disproportionately from new york city and new york citys at 21%. so the african-american number, latino number is 22%. but -- and the upstate whites -- they're talking more upstate, which is 9 but 3.6 in the survey. by age, nothing extraordinary here. we did not survey anyone under 18. so it starts with 18 years old. 18 to 24, 8%. 45% to 54-- 45 to 54, 16. 55-64-year-olds. and then 75 plus. how many 75-year-olds were out and about? that's the group that are supposed to be self-isolating. but that's a distribution. again, the example was by definition people who were outside the home. so we have to analyze that. what does that do to the numbers? but that is a factor that has to be taken into consideration. if the infection rate is 13.9%, then it changes the theories of what the death rate is if you get infected. 13% of the population is about 2.7 million people who have been infected. if you look at what we have now as a death total, which is 15,500, that would be about .5% death rate. but too big caveats. first, it's preliminary data. it's

arizona trucks driving to new york city. new york city trucks driving to florida. that's how we react to those emergencies. we mutual aid. you flex with the need. that we could be doing here. and the consequences are going to be devastating. and what keeps me up at night is not just the numbers but a deep sense that it didn't have to be. it didn't have to be. >> governor andrew cuomo of new york, i know you have to go, sir. i will just say one last thing before we go, which is please give your brother my love and the love of all of us here at the rachel maddow. we're really all hoping the best for him. >> he has tremendous respect for you as do i. >> thank you, governor. good luck. good luck to you. >> thank you. >>> all right. we've got much more to get to here tonight. we're going to be joined by the mayor of los angeles. he has just yesterday recommended that people wear face coverings, people wear masks, nonsurgical masks when they're out in public for any reason. it looks like there may be a federal recommendation along those lines too. the mayor of los angele

and yet in new york city the epicenter of the american outbreak, in new york city dealing with thousandspatients, already overwhelming many new york hospitals, the javits center, set up with federal help, isn't taking coronavirus patients, explicitly. now, tonight a source familiar with the matter tells us that the javits center in total has ten beds, ten patients, none of whom are coronavirus patients. we're also told that the "usns comfort," the naval hospital ship parked in new york harbor, we're told the "comfort" tonight has fewer than five patients, again, none of whom are coronavirus patients. the defense secretary said today in washington that that could change, that if calls upon that hospital ship would be willing and able to take people with coronavirus. but so far it's not. a source familiar with the situation tells us, "the reason for that is because the federal government is not allowing coronavirus patients to be admitted to javits or the "comfort." the hospitals and state and local governments are ready to go, but it is the federal government that thus far has been saying

and i'm seeing it in my hospital and in all hospitals around new york city. prepared and i want the make sure that message gets shared with everyone across the country. my hometown is in michigan. my best friend is in new orleans. i'm hearing stories nou. my family is in florida and we're hearing about the huge number of cases there. this is going to roll across the united states and everyone still has more time to prepare than we did. >> ed: so much to digest there. i want to get right to what you were saying. you want to get this message out. here is your chance. as i talk to friends around new york city they say columbia presbyterian is one of the most remarkable hospitals maybe in the world. what are you seeing? is it a war zone as we hear people describe it? >> put it this way i've worked in the middle of a war zone. i worked during a civil war in east africa. a lot of the havoc and chaos and concern especially the mental anxiety is quite similar. i know that people are getting mixed messages from politicians and not really understanding what is happening

some cities including new york city may hit their apex.'s get right to abc chief medical editor dr. jen ashton. and jen, the apex is coming. what are the experts and governors seeing in the data and how should we prepare? >> reporter: well, it is so difficult to predict these curves and these peaks, tom, and they're only as good as the day data that goes into them, and obviously case count has been elusive and challenging thus far. we do know that deaths tend to lag behind confirmed cases by two to three weeks, and other curves are predicting a peak in mid-may. either way, as dr. anthony fauci keeps reminding us, now is not the time to take our foot off the gas when it comes to social distancing measures. >> such important guidance we cannot forget, especially this week. jen, also, a new symptom popping up that viewers should be aware of? >> reporter: yeah, there was a study out in "jama" last week, tom, small study coming out of china, which found that about 31% of confirmed covid infections presented with pink eye or other eye findings.

the sirens coming and going that have become the soundtrack of new york city.his is democracy now! democracynow.org,, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman as we turn now to look at the coronavirus outbreak in prisons and jails where the number of infections is just exploding in the last two weeks. on friday, u.s. attorney general william barr issued an emergency order calling for the releleasef vulnerable federal prisoners into home confinement, with priority given to those in the hardest hit federal prisons like fci elkton in ohio, where three people died from coronavirus in the past week and at least 20 or have been hospitalized. on friday, a prisoner there named aaaaron deshawn campbell made a desperate plea for help in a video he filmed on a cellllphone e and posted o on fk live.. >> it was all good a couple off days ago, right? [blel out of the blue e -- ep] dining getting sick. liliterally leaving us in here o die. amy: this comemes as p prisonern alabamama told navieies news the statate prisons there are " "f'' to be a mamass grave sitite." in chica

in new york city, the epicenter of the american outbreak in new york city dealing with thousands of patientseady overwhelming many new york hospitals, the javits center setting up federal help is not taking coronavirus patients. the javits center in total has ten beds, ten patients and none of whom had virus. the usns, comfort, we are told the comfort tonight had fewer than five patients, again, none of whom are coronavirus patients. the defense in washington said that could change. so far it is not taking coronavirus. a source familiar with the situation tells us the reason for that is because the federal government is not allowing coronavirus patients to be admitted to the javits and the comfort. all this makes you wonder, is new york city getting the help its needs. new york city is getting a bunch of help but not getting the right kind of help. if they are asking for these federally built facilities to be coronavirus facilities, why did the federal government thus far have said no to them when they said yes to other cities who asked them the same thing. let's ask somebody at the front li

new york city suburbs. hopefully statewide. it's a little bit of a different situation upstate than down state. i hope it stays that way. ideally, i'd like to do it with connecticut and new jersey. >> are you saying that it's your legal authority to make the decision on new york city schools, not bill de blasio's? >> it's my legal authority in this situation, yes. that's why, when i closed them, we closed them statewide. it was not just new york city that we closed. we closed at that same time the island and the northern suburbs, and then we coordinated in all of upstate. is that right? >> yeah, and jesse, remember when we did the executive order with the 180-day waiver. school districts needed a waiver if they'll have less than 180 days of school so we said we're setting them all at the same time. everyone sothe same schedule. it's extended through april 29th. everyone is on the same schedule and that's when we extended the 180-day waiver. >> it has to be coordinated. i don't see how -- i understand the debate on when to reopen

but new york city housing authority is starting more testing today at new york city housing authority facilities talk about public housing i was hired secretary i worked in public housing all across the nation that is some of the densest housing in the united states of america. people crammed into elevators or small lobbies or overcrowding in their apartment. so public housing does pose a special issue and it should be addressed. i also want to get more testing in african-american and latino communities all through the new york city area including long island after this. and maybe the congress member velasquez to work with the challenges. one of the problems is test on - - finding a testing site. massachusetts said they would be willing to use their facilities for testing sites as we ramp up testing. i will get into the african-american and latino community using the churches as a network would be extraordinary effective. but then to address this issue. and four friends in washington senator mcconnell who was ahead of the senate talk about funding for state and local governments. it w

>>> welcome to "reliable sources" live from new york city. i'm brian stelter. we're standing by for new york governors andrew cuomo's daily briefing. as soon as it begins, he will pop up on that video feed and we'll take you live to albany. as of 6:00 a.m. eastern time, there's 114,000 cases of coronavirus confirmed here in new york state. there are more than 3,500 deaths just in new york state. there are, of course, other hot spots in other parts of the united states that are being carefully watched that are absolutely serious. but new york state and new york city remains the number one epicenter of this pandemic in the united states. so we will hear from the governor in a moment. meantime, the surgeon general of the united states, jerome adams, speaking on television this morning saying this coming week, the next seven days, will be the toughest, the saddest week in american history for many americans. talking about in the lifetime of americans who are living today, he says this will be the hardest and saddest for most americans lives. he describes this moment
