joining us now we have the president of the american medical association dr. harris. dr.as president trump said anything that gives you any hope that these supply shortages will be stemmed any time soon? >> well, good morning, mika and thank you for having me and first let's start with the why. people are dying and more people are at risk of dying and becoming infected and all of us can do our part. we need to physical distance, we need to stay away from large crowds. but the american medical association is calling on the president to use allele seve le government, to do whatever he can to get us the supplies we need, the personal protective equipment. we still need more tests. the a mrcama has been requestine tests for a now. we need more ventilators in anticipation of the surge. the president need all levers at his disposal to get the ventilators and equipment. today we don't have them. i'm hearing stories ofry day where physicians are reusing masks and being asked to resterilize masks. the community is coming together making masks but this is unacceptable of ad hoc way

his interview was recorded at the annual american historical association meeting in new york city. host: joining us from our studios in new york, ryan mcgrady. he is the manager for wiki education, which means what? a program that brings subject matter experts to wikipedia. host: what is its etymology in genesis? a concept ofdia is if wikipedia. it's that easy to edit, easy to collaborate text and images software. is not the same of wikipedia but they merge the two together. in 2001 as a project of a more traditional encyclopedia. and got a took off life of its own. very quickly amassed hundreds and thousands of articles poor -- articles. who writes and edits for wikipedia and how do you check to make sure it is 100% accurate? guest: anybody can write wikipedia. you couldkipedia or write wikipedia. anybody who decides they want to share and the compilation and sharing of human knowledge. how can you check it? one of the fundamental rules of wikipedia is that everything is verifiable. anything that you read in wikipedia should have been written in another reliable source first. then

. >> tara, the american medical association in a letter to the vice president said -- asked for something akin to a manhattan project kind of program to expand manufacturing capacity so we could produce the supplies that doctors need, but also there is an issue of training. are medical staff basically trained to deal with something like this? >> well i don't know that we're psychically trained. we may see those effects down the line. but we know how to take care of patients. i don't think the training is the issue. the issue is that we don't have the supplies, and we're going the lose our workforce, as you heard. if our health care providers start to go down, start to get sick, who is going to take care of the rest of us? we know that our health care providers are now bei self-quarantined. many are being isolated. many are having to stay home to take care of their own kids who are out of school. and so we really need a plan in place. and it's a big systemic issue too. the more patients we're getting in the icu beds that we're either ruling in or out for covid-19 for treating, we're not ab

the american nurses association is also weighing in on their concerns. >> right, the american nurses association has written a letter, and that letter expresses concern about lack of kits, lack of protective gear for their nurses, and they've said we need communication from our employers, the hospitals and from the government. fred, this is a super important point to remember. there's a lot of concern among healthy young people about coronavirus, and that's fine, we should all be concerned, but really think of who are the most vulnerable, elderly, people with underlying conditions and health care workers. they're the ones who we need to work hard to protect. get them the right equipment and get them the tests they need. >> part of the problem, it is unclear whether most health care facilities, people on the front line have the proper equipment. >> not to mention, a pressure room. those are a room you put someone with a dangerous infectious disease so the bacteria, virus stays in the room and doesn't get into the hallways and other rooms. that's really a problem. we don't have unlimite
