vice president mike pence speaking at apac right now how important is that u.s. leadership endorsement today still in the israeli system in the israeli political system in elections since certainly when the president speaks the israelis listen because america is israel's most important partner is. an indispensable strategic partner for israel but i think the the general public opinion in the united states has been changing on israel and certainly on netanya oh more than 50 percent of americans are not happy with the netanyahu government and certainly a growing number of jewish influence of jewish community in the united states is not happy with nothing else but we have a back the israeli lobby in the united states now becoming totally and utterly republican in the sense that it is leaning more and more toward strong and that the neo and hence when bernie sanders the only jewish candidate in this race at this point in time what with along with mike bloomberg when he decided to boycott the apac conference it was interesting that both the other candidates not both a

i think this is a really interesting thing to think about vic power of the apac lobby right we think it really is interesting that we have a candidate who may be the 1st jewish candidate for you know nomination for for the presidency but we have to differentiate that from the lobby. you know bernie sanders was asked specifically about his judaism in one of the one of the most recent debates and he made a very clear distinction between being proud of his of his religion but completely you know on the palestinian side and caring about the human rights of the palestinians that is that is an understanding an argument that makes sense to a lot of americans and especially a lot of people in the democratic party and also just want to mention that the apac lobby is one lobby that supposedly represents israeli interests israeli american interests together but we do have other lobbies to represent jewish voice for example j. street is another lobby that considers itself to be a pro israel and pro palestinian voice where many american jews particularly those who find themselves voting democrat

apac,essage when out from saying they have been aware that a group of policy attendees from new york was potentially in contact prior to the conference with an individual who contracted coronavirus. that individual did not attend the conference, but this group has been added to the self quarantine list. they have not given us any more information as to who these people were or were they were, what sessions they attended. again, we are looking like second-generation, they have been in touch with the person that got it from new york prior to coming to apac. they were not the first people to have it. when you look at a situation like that, they say don't raise the alarm. they just want us to be cautious with it, but when you're looking at something like that -- there were 18,000 people at that event. when you have something where it could be secondary people, how concerned should we be about that? that? >> i think there is cause for your antenna going up. i almost compare it to the flu. exposed to things like that all the time. i would think that the local health departments and state h

but you cannot get the curve down low enough so that you don't overwhelm the hospital apacity. so any of these scenarios we have town crease the hospital capacity. and that's why we are literally adding to the hospital capacity every way we can. that's what the jared hospital is about, stony brook, westchester convention enter. we are also scouting new sites now. all across primarily the downstate area of this state for possible sites. our goal is to have a $1,000-plus overflow facility in each of the boroughs. downstate. and the counties. queens, brooklyn, bronx, manhattan, staten island, and long island, and westchester and rockland. so every county has a 1,000-plus bed overflow facility. that's what we are working on at the same time. as well as increasing the capacity of the existing hospital system. as we have said the hospitals have a 53,000-bed capacity. we are trying to get to 140,000-bed capacity between the hospitals and overflow facilities. we have mandated that the hospitals increase their capacity by 50%. we have asked them to try to ncrease it 100%. but they have

this week have tested positive, which is especially concerning because the apac conference is a who's who of the establishment, particularly the republican establishment. for example, mike pence was one of the speakers there this week. and speak of the vice president he held a press conference with federal health officials this evening and offered an update. first on the matter of this cruise ship carrying thousands of passengers being held off the california coast, ever since a passenger on the ship's previous journey tested positive for coronavirus and died this week in california, with 20 people onboard showing symptoms, coronavirus tests were -- we're watching it here. they were helicoptered to the ship and flown to a lab for testing. vice president pence announcing this evening 46 people on the ship were swabbed, 21 of them tested positive including 19 crew members. a fact the people on the ship reportedly learned about by watching mike pence on television. pence also said that the ship will come into port and that everyone onboard will be tested, but officials say they're still

unfortunately we know that several hospitals in this state, particularly southeast michigan, are at apacity. last week, we started implementing hospital plans and we are pleased leaders have stepped up in support of our public health response. based on the trajectory of the spread of this disease and the number of people requiring hospitalizations, we need to derive alternative nontraditional sites of care. we have already identified the enter in detroit and plans are already underway at that facility to be able to take care of covid-19 patients. we will need additional medical rofessionals, doctors, nurses, sfgs assistants and others, to respond to this crisis. yesterday, the governor signed an executive order. this important order will allow qualified professionals to work n medical facilities to help take care of the increased atient load. this past weekend, we announced a new volunteer website. we encourage medical professionals willing and able o sign up. we are truly going to need everyone to chip in and donate skills and expertise to fight this pandemic. we continue to rapidly expand

goes in the coming days and his plan right now is to plan for the worst case scenario so bad that apac and what he's telling new yorkers if you have to do your part you need to stay at home to help flatten this curve as much as possible so we have a minimal number of patients entering the hospital they're already strained they're already short on supplies people are already dying in high numbers so there's certainly a concern there and in terms of other measures that the governor is taking he's talked about field hospitals be open you saw the u.s.s. comfort yesterday docking in opera west side there's going to be a field hospital being opened in central park that new conjunction with working with the city and marigold the blasio has also announced the tennis national center in flushing meadows in queens new york that hospital outburst which has suffered so greatly and is the epicenter of this epicenter will also be turned into a temporary hospital so measures certainly being taken to alleviate what could be a very dire situation which of course it already is spinning a terrible march a

told us what the experience was like and about the other measures russia is taking to keep infections apace. one of the things you could do you realize as a bearded man is you just look silly in the face mask but this is my only 7 year from hong kong my trip to hong kong and i was only there for a few days while i was there there were hardly any infections or in the weeks since but coming back to moscow the medics here really didn't care so you're treated like anyone else and our 1st taste of what was the cup was still in the play when a lady came aboard and this is while we were still in the plane having landed she took all our measurements are temperatures and she was in full has mackie and so we walked past passport control into the baggage area and that is where the real party started i mean there were dozens and dozens of medics in full hazmat get covered head to toe taking down everything about us what we did who we were with where we were this is all part of a huge russian effort to make sure that the 1000 virus didn't gain a foothold here the monitoring of the epidemiological situat

in the meantime, we have been working with private labs and federal partners to increase .apacity for tests as you saw from today's numbers, we still have high levels of testing. we want to see more. we are hoping to take the pressure off the consolidated testing sites. we definitely want to see this more so in other parts of the state. say, eventhe governor if you don't have a case in your neighborhood, there probably is covid across the state. we know there is covid across the state. we are looking also in areas where we are not seeing high volumes of testing and trying to work with nontraditional partners or existing partners to do cast -- to do do testing in those communities. now.s a big focus we have we just updated our own public facing dashboard. if you go to the parish level tab, you cano -- see where tests have been performed in that parish. it will be pretty evident at the bottom of the list where we need more tests, and that is what we are working on. >> can you talk about the length of time getting test results back? commercial labs are saying six days. state labs at 24 t

the name of the game here in new york is building up capacity, medical capacity,in anticipation of the apex of this coronavirus pandemic here in this area and sometime in the next 14 to 21 days. to that end the governor opened a bunch of new makeshift hospitals. temporary field hospitals in large buildings across the new york area. basically what he needs are big buildings with electricity with hvac. behind me is one of them. the aqueduct racetrack in queens. the goal, put 1,000 beds in here used for non-covid patients as the number of covid patients rises the existing hospital structure with all the icus and others can be used for covid patients. the goal. there's going to be four of these types of hospitals in all of these outer boroughs. one in queens, one in brooklyn, in the bronx and a campus of a sunni school in long island staten island, excuse me. so we're talking about four of these large hospitals designed specifically in case the cases go up and that they can alleviate the existing hospitals. fred? >> all right. evan mcmorris-santoro, thank you so much. >>> right now volunte

and that is hospital apacity. and that is about providing hospital beds, providing staff, and providing equipment, and providing p.p.e., and providing ventilators coming back to that number of 30,000 and needing federal action to address it now. if the federal government said today, i would deploy all 20,000 entilators, it would take us two weeks to get those ventilators into hospitals and to create i.c.u. beds and to locate the staff. so there is no time to waste. he time to do this is now. fema is sending us 400 ventilators. it was on the news this morning. they are sending 400 ventilators to new york. 400 ventilators. i need 30,000 ventilators. you want a pat on the back for sending 400 ventilators? what are we going to do with 400 when we need 30,000 ventilators? you are missing the magnitude of the problem and the problem is defined by the magnitude. these are the numbers from today. ou can see our testing rate is now over 90,000 people who have been tested. that's the highest rate of testing in the country a

there were two positive cases at apac which had 18,000 members attending, too.o help in our communities, we don't believe this should be political. i don't know anyone who thinks this should be a partisan issue. we want to make sure the resources are there. we're concerned about the testing and really worried about people who, if they have been exposed, can't afford to stay home, afraid to get the test, they can't afford to even self-quarantine because they need that income. so there are a lot of issues we're all talking about. >> do you have any sense which way speaker pelosi is going to lean in terms of calling for a longer recess? >> i'm waiting to have a discussion with my colleagues at the leadership meeting this afternoon and see what everybody is thinking, because we also have to -- we have to lead. i am the bumper. i've been trying to get everybody to bump. it's hard when you go home. people want to shake your hand and hug you. a flum ed bump on sunday. >> i'ming looking at a video. you've mastered it. let's move on to the all-important state, your state
