how would this be done and -- >> i didn't say on a 24-hour basis, bernadette. i said when people get into the train in the morning, they had to know that that train was disinfected the night before. >> so what time will this happen and will it impact certain -- >> i don't know. i told the mta, give me a plan whereby you will clean and disinfect every train every night so that i can say to the essential workers who are killing themselves for our state, we're keeping the subways open for you, and when you get on the subway in the morning or in the afternoon, know that that car was disinfected the night before. >> how realistic is this and is there money for that? >> it's realistic. it's an essential. how realistic is it? what is the alternative? essential workers go to work. by the way, you may get infected with the coronavirus on the train on the way to work. that's not realistic. i'm not going to do that. >> how come this hadn't been done prior? >> we had been starting. it is a tremendous undertaking that has never been done before. and you're going to have to

should have stayed with it, bernadette. you had it for a second. i'm sorry? >> how long will they stay up and running? gov. cuomo: the temporary hospitals are in overflow relief capacity valve. i showed you the projections, which all called for a multiple number of hospital beds we have. raised our 53,000 beds, it to 93,000 beds. we then created overflow facilities, javits, several 200 bed overflow facilities. them if thee to use hospitalization rate stays low. they are being used to some extent. the javits center is being used to some extent. i have said to a number of hospitals, if you need relief, we have it. if the hospitalization rate stays the same, we have up to a 90,000 bed capacity in our system, up to the brim. that is an overflow capacity that i hope we do not use if we keep this curve down. >> do you want them around for a second wave? av. cuomo: i don't want second way. i don't want a third way. i don't want a one haand a half wave. >> regarding testing, what is the holdup? what is the logjam? gov. cuomo: what happens on the basically we rely on

bernadette turns up positive. okay, who were you with over the past week? what family members were you with? who do you sit next to in the office? you now have a list of 30 people. if it's bernadette, even more, because she's highly social, has a lot of friends. now somebody's got to run down that list of 30 people, from one positive! it's a detective-investigator in the public health space. that is a massive undertaking. it's intelligent, but it's massive. and that is an army of tracers. so, testing. you have to get that up to scale. and then tracing. yes, but that's a massive undertaking that we now don't do. so, testing, tracing, isolation, yes. we have to do that in concert with the federal government. again, no one's done it before. no one has done it to this volume. and second, for the states to do this role of reopening, we need funding. and the passed federal legislation has not provided it. it's that simple. they funded many good causes -- hospitals, small businesses, et cetera. yeah, but you now want the state governments to do all this work -- do

. >> governor, governor -- >> i'm sorry, bernadette -- >> as you're talking about reopening the economy but also specific to schools, what would have to happen first for schools to open, specifically in new york city, in regards to this plan that you're -- >> they have to work together, bernadette. i don't believe you have -- you can't open one system. it's the gears, which is an analogy and a metaphor that doesn't work for anyone except for me, but that's okay, because it works for me. you have three big gears, okay? you have a transportation, you have economic, you have schools. let's take just those three. you want to start turning one gear. they all intermesh. you have to turn the other two gears. you can't tell me to go back to work. i live in nassau county. let's say i lived in westchester county, because i did. you can't tell me to go back to work in new york city if you don't have the transit system operating. i take the train from westchester to new york city. i can't go back to work until, unless you have a train, unless you want everyone to drive, which will be pandemonium in

patrick's day parade which bernadette still has not forgiven me for. you can have a parade in a relatively small city, but you bring people together, and this virus has a feeding frenzy. where do we go from here? a question of reopening, which everyone wants to do and everybody wants to do yesterday. and i am at the top of that l t list. we have to understand on the reopening, we want it to happen and we want it to happen now. we can't take it anymore and everyone feels the same. it is a delicate balance. remember what we have to do on reopening. none of this has been done before, so anyone who says to you, i know what we should do, i know. you don't know because nobody knows. and that's the one thing that we have learned over and over again. and this place has never done this before. also, you look around the world, you see warning signs from countries who have opened, and my point is through our team, i want to learn from those other countries, frankly. i want to make sure we know from our studying and assessment of what's gone on in other countries

cuomo: look, i have been working on the homeless issue -- bernadette, i have been working on the homeless issue since i was 20 something years old. i did the first plan for mayor david on how to help the homeless in new york city. he accepted it. the neck mayor was rudy giuliani. he accepted it. -- the next mayor was rudy giuliani. he accepted it. i went to washington and helped bill clinton. he accepted it. we implemented it. we made tremendous progress. it was called the continuum of care. this federal government still is operating the program. we have done this before. choice.a false are the homeless on the train? do they have a right to be on the trains? no one wants to live their lives on the subway train, and we have a higher obligation as a society than to say, ok, you can sleep on a subway car. no. you deserve a shelter that is safe and services, if you need them, to help you improve your life. that is what we should offer, and that is what we will. problems int the the nursing homes with more deaths? [inaudible] what facility, sir? your policy that nursing despiteve to be staffed

it will be on a case-by-case basis, bernadette. we will look to the localities. we have the same situation in nassau and suffolk, by the way. we will look to the locality. what do they think is a level where they need backup and then we will do everything we can to provide backup. >> is there a point where you would require a state takeover of the nypd? gov. cuomo: no. you could not do a state takeover of the nypd. i would be of assistance to helping the nypd. we have to perform a policing function. right? that is state constitution. provide public safety. the nypd, if they have a serious staff shortage, then i would work with them to figure out how we remedy that. but the nypd is some 30,000 employees. there is no replacing 30,000 employees. >> [indiscernible] number of covid patients in the new york city area who were transferred [indiscernible] capital region? gov. cuomo: does anybody know that? >> we have transferred over the course of the last two days several dozen patients back to this area. we are working closely with the hospitals down there. >> you have

. >> bernadette. >> as we are talking about reopening the economy and specific to schools, what would have to happen first for school to open specifically in new york city in regards to the planning? >> they have to work together. you can open one system let's see, gears this is an analogy. transportation and economic and and schools. they all intermesh, you have to turn the other two gears. you can't tell me to go back to to work. you can't tell me to go back to work in new york city if you don't have the transit system operating. i take the train from west chester to new york city. i can't go back to work. unless you want everybody to drive which would be pandamonium in four minutes. if you want me to go back to work, and children are not back to school, who's watching the children? people didn't want to close the schools because they said hospital workers won't be able to show up because the children will be at home. if hospital workers don't show up, we have a major problem. our major concern was collapse of the hospital. all of these things have to be coordinated and coordinated

bernadette. >> why has it taken so long to get information about nursing homes? >> we are putting it together. >> we are putting it in practical reality here. you have hospitals who are dealing with hell everyday and you are saying make sure your report is not late. that's what the department of health says. make sure your report is on time. look, i have been on the phone with niethese types of faciliti. they say i understand, make sure my report is on time. i have people critically ill. i am short staff and i don't have enough ppe. you are giving me a hard time about reports. in the balance of things, i understand the degree of difficulty. how many nursing homes are there? 613 nursing homes so you are not talking about one phone call. we are getting the data. it is coming in. when will we have it? do we know? today. >> we had the highest number of positive cases since testing started. are you concerned of those numbe numbers? >> testing is not indicative of anything in my opinion. it is not as ransom sample. it is a function of how many tests you were doing. the

patrick's day parade which bernadette still will not forgive me for but you can have a parade in a relatively small city but you bring people together and this virus has a feeding frenzy. where do we go from here? question of reopening. which everyone wants to do and everybody wants to do yesterday. i am -- and i am at the top of that list. we have to understand on the reopening, as much as we have this emotion, we want it to of had a, we want it to happen now and we can't take this anymore and everyone feels the same, it is a delicate balance. remember what we have to do on reopening. and remember, it has never been done before. none of this has been done before. anyone that says to you, oh, i know what we should do. i know. yeah, you don't know because nobody knows. and that's the one thing that we have learned over and over again. and this place has never done this before. also, you look around the world. you see warning signs from countries who have opened. and my point is to our team, i want to learn from those other countries. frankly. and i want to make sure we know from our studying a

in one corner, bernadette's mom, in the other three, mine. yeah, i hate wedding receptions. i wish the bride and groom would take a cue from bilbo baggins. slip on the ring, disappear, and everyone goes home. mm, you liked professor geyser's wedding. they had a make-your-own-sundae bar. oh, that was a night to remember. do you know, on one trip, i just had a bowl of nuts. anyway, you got to let me know if you have a plus one. because if not, my mom's trying to sneak in the doctor who sucked the fat out of her neck. all right, uh, fine. i'm coming and i'm bringing somebody. uh, koothrappali plus one. who you bringing? who are you bringing?! he's bringing me; who are you bringing? wow, what a bunch of nosey o'donnells. come on, who is it? i'm not telling. i'm from asia, i'm mysterious; deal with it. ♪ our whole universe was in a hot, dense state ♪ ♪ then nearly 14 billion years ago expansion started... wait! ♪ ♪ the earth began to cool ♪ the autotrophs began to drool, neanderthals developed tools ♪ ♪ we built the wall ♪ we built the pyramids ♪ ♪ math, science, history, unravel

. >> had they told me i was going to be sandwiched between audrey mcdonald, meryl streep, and bernadettem. >> stephen: it worked out. it worked out. i promise you. >> yeah. >> stephen: do you have a favorite sondheim song. obviously, as i said, you were "the georges" in "sunny in the park with george." but do you have a favorite sondheim song? >> "dont waken the sourdough." do you know that one. >> stephen: i do. anyone can whistle right. >> i do, that song "no more," at the tribute is my favorite sondheim song for the moment. and one of the lyrics from it that i just-- the lines, "no more curses we can't undo left by fathers we never knew" is just like-- there are so many lines in that song. that entire song is filled with incredible wisdom. but i love that line so much. >> stephen: how well do you know stephen sondheim? >> uhm, uh, i mean, well, we've had dinner. we've had dinner. i mean -- >> stephen: that's not bad. >> i mean, i would say-- i graduated from calling him "stephen" to calling him ask the qt steve." >> stephen: i noticed. i noticed that you-- >> did you notice? >> stephe

so it will be on a case-by-case basis, bernadette. we'll look to the localities. we have the same situation in nassau and suffolk, by the way. we'll look to the locality, what do they think is a level where they need backup, and then we'll do everything we can to provide backup. >> reporter: but is there a point where you would require a state takeover at the nypd? >> no. you couldn't do a state takeover at the nypd. i would be of assistance to helping the nypd -- we have to perform a policing function, right? that's state constitution. provide public safety. the nypd, if they have a serious staff shortage, then i would work with them to figure out how we remedy that. but the nypd is something like 30,000 employees. there is no replacing 30,000 employees. >> reporter: do you know the number of covid patients in the new york city who have been transferred to upstate hospital, especially the capital region? >> does anybody know that? >> we have transported the last couple days several patients back to this area and we're working with the hospitals down there. >> rep

i'm having dinner with bernadette and her parents. fun. we know how much you love that.re. especially with her dad. we have nothing in common. you know what i like to do when i'm forced to speak with those beneath my intellectual station? i bring up an interesting topic, like the difference between spider-man and spiders. what about you, sheldon? do you have any plans tonight? sadly, yes. amy's taking me to a memorial service. it's for one of her colleagues who is of asian descent, so my planned conversational gambit is to casually remark that no matter how deep they dig his grave, he'll never make his way back to china.

lance bernadette, so i run some small businesses, having those and thanks to all of them as well. right? so, 46 employees and all that. in order to do that, in order for me to do that and to be away, you have to have good people. and thank goodness i did. >> well, i want to thank you. that's great. that's really a great story to see somebody like you just not cold by the invisible enemy. right? that was tougher than any football play you ever played. right? >> that's absolutely true. >> and you played against some tough ones. i know you did. >> yeah. there were some battles that weren't so good for me, but i always kept fighting. >> yeah. you did a great job. great job. anybody can't be in the nfl for ten years. that's a big tribute. that's not easy. you know how hard that is, right? >> yeah. it's a grind. >> everybody always, every year the new ones come along and you just stayed there. ten years is a long time in the nfl. that's a great tribute to you as a fighter. i want to thank everybody. this has been incredible. i thought this would be a five minute meeting, but i found eac

so it will be on a case-by-case basis, bernadette. we'll look to the localities. we have the same situation in nassau and suffolk, by the way. we'll look to the locality. what do they think is a level where they need backup, and then we'll do everything we can to provide backup. >> but is there a point that you would require a stake takeover of the nypd? >> no. you couldn't do a state takeover of the nypd. i would be of assistance to helping the nypd -- we have to perform a policing function, right? that's state constitution. provide public safety. the nypd, if they have a serious staff shortage, then i would work with them to figure out how we remedy that. but the nypd is something like 30,000 employees. there is no replacing 30,000 employees. >> -- number of covid patients in the new york city area transferred to upstate hospitals, especially the capital region? >> does anybody know that? >> we have transferred over the course of the last two days several dozen patients back up to this area. we're working closely with the hospitals down there. >> have you spoken

just bernadette -- >> sorry. was the state slow to shut everything down?ew york pause come too late? do you guys wish that you had started -- >> the governor of new york, andrew cuomo, giving his daily coronavirus briefing, saying he does so on this day of, quote, mixed emotions. some good news. he says new york is proving through social distancing to be flattening its curve. the number of hospitalizations down. the number of intensive care unit beds down. the governor saying that is the good news as he flattens the curve. he also then, though, talked about the vicious predator of a virus, the coronavirus, as he shared just stunning numbers. this is just the state of new york -- 6,268 new yorkers killed by the coronavirus so far, 779 increase from yesterday to today. that, again, is the new york state setting another record as it deals with the deaths of the coronavirus. the governor making a number of promises there, including some new testing. says he needs to ramp up testing. he's now considering when the moment will come to turn back on the new york ec

ber bernadette? >> sir, i'm wondering are you sending absentee application or ballot? >> we're accepting absentee applications. art two of the constitution allows for an absentee voting process. there are two provisions. one if you're out of county and the other is a specific list imnumerated in law by the legislature and one is temporary illness. the governor a fum weeks ago mended the temporary illness including risk of covid-19. we thought this should be use for an actual ballot to vote and we don't think that's within our constitutional rights for the governor's directive powers to overright the constitution, create a mail-in voting system where one doesn't otherwise exist. so what we're saying is everyone gets an application with postage, so this is easy. every registered voter gets one, they can fill it out and send it back in. to the question of whether or not the board of elections can handle this, the provision the governor did a couple of weeks ago allowed for anybody to do this but you had to download the ballot, call to get the ballot, go to the boe. so all

>> homeless people -- i have been working on the homeless shelter -- bernadette, i have been working on the homeless issue since i was 27 years old. i did the first plan for mayor david dinkins on how to help the homeless of new york city. mayor dinkins accepted it. next mayor was rudy giuliani. he came in and he accepted it. we made tremendous progress on the homeless. i went to washington. i did a homeless plan for bill clinton and the nation how to help the homeless. he accepted it. we implemented it. it made tremendous progress. it was called the continuing of care. this federal government still is operating the program. we have done this before. this is a false choice. well, the homeless are on the trains. they have a right to be on the trains. no one wants to live their lives on a subway train. and we have a higher obligation as a society than to say, okay, you can sleep in a subway car. no, you deserve a shelter that is safe and services if you need them to help you improve your life. that's what we should offer and that's what we will. >> can you talk about problems with nurs

you are seeing pain across the board with prices at this level. 0k, bernadette, thank you very much yourm colorado. you are watching bbc news. these are the headlines this hour: the number of coronavirus deaths in the uk passes 10,000, a record the health secretary calls a ‘terrible marker‘. another 737 deaths have been reported in 2a hours. the british prime minister has said there is "no question" that the health service saved his life after he became seriously ill with covid—19. boris johnson is now continuing his recovery at his country residence. singapore's strategy of containing the pandemic is contact tracing — including a mobile phone app that tracks potential exposure to the virus. since its launch in march, the tracetogether app has been downloaded more than a million times. other countries like germany and the uk are looking at emulating singapore's app but face questions about privacy in the battle to contain covid—19, as sarah toms reports. shyam and his partners at this special effects company are getting set for a tight month ahead, as singapore locks down even further to

patrick's day, which bernadette has still not forgiven me for, but you can have a parade in a relatively small city. but you bring people together and this virus has a feeding frenzy. where do we go from here? question of reopening. which everyone wants to do and everybody wants to do yesterday. i am -- and i am at the top of that list. we have to understand on the reopening, as much as we have this emotion, we want it to happen, we want it to happen now, and we can't take this anymore, and everyone feels the same, it is a delicate balance. remember what we have to do on reopening. and remember it has never been done before. none of this has been done before so anyone who says to you oh, i know what we should do, i know, yeah, you don't know because nobody knows and that's the one thing that we have learned over and over again. and this place has never done this before. also, you look around the world, you see warning signs from countries who have opened. and my point is to our team, i want to learn from those other countries, frankly. and i want to make sure we know from our studying an

so it will be on a case-by-case basis, bernadette. we'll look to the loek alt.hat do they think is a level where they need backup and we'll do everything we can to provide backup. >> is there a point that you would require a state takeover of the nypd? >> no. you couldn't do a state takeover of the nypd. i would be of assistance to helping the nypd. we have to perform a policing function, right? that's state constitution. provide public safety. the nypd, if they have a serious staff shortage, then i would work with them to figure out how we remedy that. but the nypd is something like 30,000 employees. there is no replacing 30,000 employees. >> the number of covid patients in the new york city area who have been transferred to upstate hospitals to the capital region? >> does anybody know that? >> we have transferred over the course of the last two days several dozen patients back up to this area and we're working closely with the hospitals down there. >> governor, have you spoken to federal authorities on the situation on the comfort. there were only 20 patients.

>> janice: oh, my gosh this is amazing so this is bernadette johnson at li j northwell, and they justch we appreciate our nurse s they put this beautiful video together and it's fantastic and they sent it to me on social media. ainsley: you can't get enough of that that's awesome. now florida there's a trainer that trains dogs for veterans, and we've had her on the show, guardian angels, and because of covid, they weren't getting their dogs, so what did she do? >> so kathleen, from guardian angels medical service dogs, drove the dogs, the service dogs , to their veterans in both florida and michigan because the event was canceled so she got in her car and drove those dogs to their new homes and new veterans and it was such a beautiful story. ainsley: she really loves veterans to do that. i understand driving in florida but to michigan, my word she's wonderful. so what about this wedding anniversary, 65th wedding anniversary still celebrating? >> so raylene and tommy tally, they live in texas and their daughter deanne sent this to me on social media at twitter, if you've got good news
