andrew cuomo. new york has become the epicenter of this pandemic. the surge in cases putting the state's hospitals at risk of a breaking point. right now more than 39,300 cases in new york state alone. the death toll stands at more than 430. it adds to the grim reality that our country faces right now. the united states now has more confirmed cases of coronavirus than any other country in the world, including italy and china. there are more than 86,000 cases nationwide. that is more than 17,000 cases since this time yesterday. the death toll also rising stands at close to 1,300 now nationwide. we'll get to cuomo in just a moment. governor cuomo. let's start on the hill. msnbc garrett haake is standing by. let's talk about the scramble for members of congress to get back to the hill, garrett. how real is the worry that this package may actually be in jeopardy? >> make no mistake. this package will pass and will pass with an overwhelming bipartisan majority just like it did in the senate. the question is when and the person who controls that clock right now is thomas masse from kentucky who has signaled he wants to make sure there is a roll call vote that members stand up and have th

i believe andrew cuomo was saying they need about 30,000. n the state of new york alone. let's go to florida. caller: yes, good morning. the guest you had on earlier dr. heck talking about let's say it's a call to duty, a call to duty. well, we are talking about the defense procurement act. and trump keeps dancing around it saying we don't want to nationalize companies. we don't want to be venezuela. me while you have an emergency in this country, and i'm 78 years old, i have never, even my parents, have never seen. you get those car automobile industries, you don't wait for volunteers, little companies, he brags on it. you do the big stuff. you do it at the top. you want to call to duty. get this damn socio-path to do the right thing. host: katie bo williams, what she said about invoking this defense production act. how much pressure. is there any role for congress to play? guest: there is a lot of pressure on the president. one of the things we saw this week that i think hints at a lot of the turmoil to use it behind the scenes, a couple days ago the fema administrator

alone. they're calling the organizer's accusations, quote, unfounded. joe, over to you >>> just heard andrew mention that president trump did extend the guidelines for social distancing until the end of almost april, until the end of april, and eamon javers joins us with more. hi, eamon. >> reporter: yeah, hi, joe the president spent much of last week sort of agonizing about the impact that this social distancing is having on the u.s. economy saying that the cure couldn't be worse than the disease and suggesting that he wanted the economy open again by april 12th or easter time, but last night in the rose garden press conference the president said he is going to extend that social distancing guideline until the end of the month he said he hopes that the u.s. can be back to some semblance of normal by june 1st here's how he explained the decision >> the peak, the highest point of death rates, remember this, is likely to hit in two weeks. nothing would be worse than declaring victory before the victory is won that would be the greatest loss of all, therefore, the next two weeks and during this

new york city alone has more than 9,000 cases with hiss status really the national epicenter. governor andrews new yorkers should prepare to be in isolation for up to nine months. >> this is not a short term situation. this is not a long weekend. this is not a week. the time line, nobody can tell you. it depends on how we handle it. but 40%, up to 80% of the population will wind up getting this virus. all we're trying to do is slow the spread. but it will spread. it is that contagious. again, that's nothing to panic over. >> in another development, usa today reports that auto giant general motors has agreed to use its currently shuttered factories to help make vent lators for overrun hospitals. tesla will join in the effort also while ford continues to weigh the task. the auto companies were fearful just days ago that they couldn't produce the small components of the precise machines to fda requirements but the president announced yesterday that the agency has relaxed the approval process for the medical devices. but there remains the question of how fast the production lines can be converted

andrew yow mo cuomo sad supplies could run out by next week. this after a mount sinai nurse manager has passed away. he is not alone.i'm told because of the coronavirus. with us on how you can help is the head of one of the nonprofits that is getting desperately needed supplies to the medical community, daniel butin. this is so compelling and heart-breaking and it's outrageous that our medical infrastructure, the most sophisticated in the world, was not sufficiently protected and prepared for this. >> i agree. and this is where we are stepping forward and making an enormous contribution for the health care market of new york. we for the past 11 years have been a donation source for the hospitals in this area. supplies they can't use, equipment that's being replaced, they have donated to us and now we invert that model. now osia takes all of the donated supplies and equipment that we have in our warehouse in westchester and we deliver it to multiple sites in the new york health care market. eric: what's so ironic is your foundation stands for health and you have in the past been called to and donated supplies to 72 c

alone, 365 people have died. by contrast the number of people murdered in the city last year was 319. governor andrew cuomo said the surge in coronavirus deaths is due in part to older patients spending weeks on ventilators before dying. a custodian from the police force died. and the deputy county terrorism commissioner john miller tested positive. new york city was flooded with an excess of nearly 6,000 911 calls yesterday. it's caused a strain on first responders who cautions the residents to only call in case of an emergency. >>> there's a push to limit the number of coronavirus cases governor cuomo says doctors and nurses have enough protective gear for an immediate need but not beyond that. >> we have called the individual hospitals. that's no doubt that in the past few days, you know, there's maybe the distribution is a little start and stop. but we have enough ppe and the new york city officials say they have enough ppe for the new york city hospitals. we have enough ppe in stock for the immediate need. not past the immediate need. >> nurses at mt. sinai west in manhattan were wearing trash b

alone. >> enormous javis convention center turned into a hospital with 1,000 beds, still not enough according to officials with the number of patients they're expecting but there's a sign of hope. new york governor andrewuomo said stay the home measures he enacted seem to be working. >> that is almost too good to be true but the theory is, given the density that we're dealing with, it spreads very quickly, but if you reduce the density you can reduce the spread very quickly. >> a 15-day period of social distancing recommended by the white house task force comes to an end early next week but scientists can't say when they think the virus might be under controlled in this country. >> you got to be realistic and you got to understand that you don't make the timeline. the virus makes the timeline. >> the virus makes the timeline. two grim milestones today, it is the deadliest day on record, today now 284, that's a record, and total at least 1186 deaths from the pandemic in this country. and the second milestone we learned before coming on air, u.s. surpassed china in coronavirus cases, we have 81,836 in the u.s. and sadly rising. sanja yrks wi i want to ask what you think is most important thing you learne
