and baltimore could become the next us hot spot to the virus. i'll speak live to the mayors of philadelphia and baltimore in just a few minutes. meanwhile, americans filed more than 6 million new jobless claims this week, bringing the three-week total to a staggering 16.8 million jobs. 16.8 million jobs. c cnn, nick is joining us. there are new grim numbers also out tonight. >> reporter: there are, wolf. i want to start with a very small number. 22. we have just heard that today in california there are 22 fewer people in the icu than yesterday. the governor says that is more evidence that social distancing is working. but you are right, some of the other numbers out there are just staggeri staggering. >> reporter: more than 15,000 have now died nationwide. in detroit, health workers say people are dieing in er hallways. this chicago jail now america's largest-known site of infection outside of medical facilities. 400-plus cases among inmates and staff. in new york, military doctors now deployed not just to field hospitals but inside city hospita

officials approve the deal between the baltimore police department and ohio based company persistent surveillance systems to use drones equipped with high resolution cameras in order to spy on the city's residents through around the clock surveillance the spite for all objections filed by the a.c.l.u. and the legal defense. first draw a great many and persistent surveillance reveal subtle subtle about it also going from baltimore is this standard april fools day joke or generally an april fool's a joke and baltimore is a few switch out somebody is all big canister with like sugar or salt instead of actual. also the name is perfect i mean i think the only thing that would have been better would have been like stalkers r us and it will just be like the backwards are from toys r us maybe they can rename a blackwater or yeah exactly but the funny thing is actually that name is actually really appropriate persistent surveillance systems because 4 years ago that same company was under heat for flying a spy plane over baltimore to surveil its citizens without them knowing even the city coun

from the roof of my building you can see downtown baltimore. faculty and staff who had been working and connecting and working to be supportive. people do not realize that baltimore region is the site of some of the most educated people in the world, and factor in looking at african-american population, we are the second best educated community in the country. to report from the brooklyn institution. you have a lot of well educated people of all races in baltimore and then you have people in new york and in america who are challenged who need our support in so many ways of education. you heard me say only 30% of americans have the expense of going to college and graduating from college. the point that i am making is the notion of an empowered university should be empowered, not only to look in at the campus but the big question, what are we doing to help the children of our region. what are we doing to help people who are poor, what will we do with the income and equality challenge that we face, the academic ups disparity in the health disparit

that baltimore and also a smaller but still big farm near baltimore, a place actually on the siteof where he me and my friend went for college . think about the size of farms and plantations there, the planter culture there . does it take to escape the eastern shore? it's a different site of slavery in baltimore and other parts of maryland. >> that's a great question. one of the things common story allows us to do is to complicate slavery and to break down the mythic notion of plantations hundreds of slaves everywhere. was not the case. on the eastern shore of maryland that most people anfunctioned in sort of smaller farming units and because of that, the intimacy and the surveillance i would argue was much more rigid. and it would also mean that however, i do think there's comparisons between baltimore and the eastern shore in that there's a sizable number of free blacks living beside enslaved people and this becomes super important when we think about the underground. we know that this is part of the conversation about abolitionism. we know that free blacks are at the center of the abol

people don't realize that baltimore is the site-- this baltimore region the site of some of the most educated people in the world. in fact, when luke being at an african-american population, we are the second best educated community in the country according to a report from the brookens institution, so you've got a lot of well-educated people of all races in baltimore and then you have people who-- as is in the case in new york, in america, who are challenged, who need our support in so many ways with education. you heard me say only 30% of americans have the experience of going to college, of graduating from college, and so the point i'm making is that the notion of an empowered university should be empowered not only to look inward at the campus, but the big question is so what are we doing to help the children of our region? what are we doing to help people who are poor? what are we doing with that income inequality challenge and facing the academic disparate and the health disparity? a part of what we were doing during that period is what other institutions worked to do and they

you're a former public health commissioner in the city of baltimore. how are the mechanics of testing supposed to work and in a country of more than 350 million americans, how do you do it successfully? guest: ideally, testing should be made available to everyone who wants or needs a test. also random people should be selected for testing to understand what is the true rate of community spread in places around the country. we are nowhere near that type of capacity right now. right now in many places you're only able to get tested if you're a hospitalized patients with very severe illness. if you have mild symptoms. if you don't qualify for a hospital stay, you might not be able to even get a test, even if you have all the classic symptoms of virus virus. you'll likely be told to stay at home and self-isles late and assume that you have cone cron -- coronavirus. that's a problem colin can i. -- clinically. you can imagine has a patient, that's very frustrating to hear you cannot get a test. and for the colin in addition, they want to know, first of all,

on april 18th, a baltimore mob badly wounded a black servant named nicholas bittel who was traveling from pennsylvania to washington, d.c., with the regimen of pennsylvania volunteers. someone in this mob shouted "n" word in uniform, while the other yelled kill the damned brother of abe lincoln. bittel received a horrifying blow to the face by a paving stone thrown in his direction. as one of his comrades wrote in his diary, nick bittel had his head cut open by a stone thrown. the pennsylvania soldiers eventually made it to washington and they were quartered in the u.s. capital. bittel lay in pain, a pool of blood staining the floor where he slept that night. the next day lincoln went to the capital with several cabinet secretaries to greet these soldiers. he took each man by the hand including nicholas bittel. a black chaplain for the union army later wrote this. he said bittel's pain was mixed with pleasure at the capital, for it was his priviledge to be visited by abraham lincoln and to be received by the president words of compliment and cheer. until the day he died in 1876 bitte

as well as baltimore and philadelphia. let's begin this hour with cnn's nick watt, joining us from santa monica out in california right now. nick, the numbers continue to rise. >> reporter: wolf, the numbers absolutely do continue to rise. but within some of those numbers there is encouragement. santa clara county here in california, they were seeing cases double every two or three days. that is now doubling every two weeks or more. that county was one of the first to adopt social distancing, and they say no question, it is working. a glimmer of hope. a model used by the white house now predicts the nationwide death toll is down 20,000, largely due to social distancing. but -- >> today is a day in the state of new york with very mixed emotions. >> reporter: because day after day, the state is still seeing a rise in reported deaths. and -- >> the number of deaths will continue to rise as those hospitalized for a longer period of time pass away. >> it's very sobering to see the increase in deaths. it's going to be a bad week

the northern federal will leave baltimore.the train and the ammunition will arrive in hagerstown in four hours and 31 minutes. i cannot do that today on the highway. but they could do a back then. withtrain loaded incredibly explosive ammunition careens at speeds up to 54 miles per hour on tracks that were never designed for cars going more than 40 miles per hour. the standard working speeds for freight trains was 20-25 miles per hour. it is so bad that the journal boxes on some of these ammunition cars yet so hot they start worried about them catching on fire. they have to stop twice and physically cool the train off so it will not catch on fire. anybody can guess what a boxcar full of ammunition would have done in downtown carlisle, pennsylvania. it would not have been pretty. example of mcclellan's generalship in those days. he does not need the ammunition. even of these railroaders have risked their lives and set a new speed record for the fastest route the cvr has ever or will ever run during the civil war, not a single o
