connecticut's going to be a priority. i think you're going to see a lot more of these 15 minute tests as i alluded to previously. reporter: in terms of the p.p.e. and the hospital space, are we still staying ahead of this virus right now? >> hi, this is paul. i'm going to answer a little bit off of the last question. then we'll get into the p.p.e. question. solarte this week we should be expecting some additional abbott lab testing devices to come to connecticut. as the governor stated, we have already received one down in stanford that is operational. the governor did make a call to high executives at abbott to make that a priority. but we are one of the few states that are going to be on the top of the list in terms of receiving abbott lab testing devices here in connecticut. so we should see that arrive at d.p.h. and then for distribution later this week. reporter: where do we stand on the p.p.e. and the hospital space right snow? we know this is going to be a very trying week. how are we in maintaining the status quo?

i am connecticut, i am going to do a connecticut plan, why do i have to coordinate with new jersey and new york? either -- it is easier for me to say i will do one plan. why do i have to coordinate? they want this, they want this, you have to work it out. -- it is easier to do it alone. but it is better to do it together. in this situation, we need to do the best product we can do for the people. that is where i start. the best product is to come up with a plan that new jersey, connecticut, and new york and all execute simultaneously. which is what we have done to date. we made difficult decisions together and we implemented them together because we were aware of the interplay between these pieces. and our regional workforce. jerseye an action in new , you put people in a difficult position. they live in jersey, they work in new york. you know, coordinate. if i'm not there, i say coordinate. neck, it is a pain in the but that is what i pay you for. ideally we all get on the same page. is there any of drive-inn theaters becoming an essential business because people can sit in their car

we have to work with new jersey, connecticut. optimum, we come up with one plan for all three states. that would be great. if we cannot come up with the exact same plan, similar plans because we have a tri-state workforce. you have people who live in westchester and work in connecticut. you have people who live in new york city and work in new jersey. this all works as one or it does not work. transportation works with economic development, housing, schools or it does not work. you cannot have one gear spinning if the other gears are not spinning. you cannot have new york city suffolk,out nassau, westchester, jersey and connecticut. in new of the workforce york city comes from outside of new york city or leaves new york city to go work in that area. it has to work for the whole region or does not work. >> howdy will you respond -- how will you respond to localities who say they will continue to be shut down ab after the state would like them to be shut down? how are you planning to manage that relationship? i work cooperatively w

it's not getting here to stanford connecticut, bridge port, connecticut, to cities where we're prettyo being overwhelmed. i have nurses and doctors very literally calling me frantic about the lack of ppe, about the fact their icu capacity and ventilators are almost used up, and we are nowhere near the peak of what we're going to see. so we're very, very concerned here. look, if there's a silver lining to this cloud is that we have had the opportunity because we're sort of on the soert side of the wave that started in new york, we have had the opportunity to learn from what new york has been able to do. the people who live here, a little late but started taking this really seriously in time hopefully to reduce the intensity of what we're about to see. >> congressman, i want to speak to you because you're on the house intel committee about the firing of michael atkinson, the inspector general of the intelligence community for the fact he brought to the attention of your committee, your chairman, the whistle-blower complaint about the ukraine phone call. here's what donald trump had to s

but ideally it is uniform with new jersey, connecticut. because this is -- they they are all connected, these things. school, business, and geography are all connected. you have hospitalizations reported. does that mean we need to change the plans for the field hospitals at this point? gov. cuomo: there is no changing of the plan. i am praying that we don't need a single bed in the additional overflow capacity. i hope javits is empty. well, it's not, there are several hundred people in javits. but ideally we never needed a bed in javits, we never needed a bed on the u.s. navy ships ship comfort, an we never needed a bed in the field hospitals. >> mark levine noted that the number of hospitalizations in new york city is because they are at capacity -- gov. cuomo: that is not true. people are being turned away from hospitals? >> -- gov. cuomo: no. >> we do a daily call with hospitals, and we get updates from them, and there is no report of that. >> to explain the way we are doing this we are using all the , hospital capacity in the system, s

he didn't shut anything down in connecticut. what is your reaction to the way the president spoke about it today? >> these comments come and go. he loves to run down these rabbit holes. we had a good meeting with the covid task force including vice president pence. he knows the regional governors in the northeast are going to work together in a collaborative way for a phased reopening based upon testing. we're going to open up our state. we're going to do it in the safest way possible. >> you're teamed up with your neighboring states, rhode island, massachusetts, new york. new york added to that team new jersey, pennsylvania on the new york border, delaware also agreeing to approach this, pardon the expression but as a country would approach it as we kind of expected the president to lead this kind of approach to it because obviously, what happens in new york, what happens in rhode island, massachusetts has a huge effect on connecticut. so you can't make these decisions independently. >> no, you can't. if i look how the covid pa

regional with connecticut and new jersey. so that is my goal. ,oordinate school and business minimum metropolitan area -- new york city suburbs -- hopefully statewide. it is a little bit of a upstaten -- different and downstate. ideally i would like to do it with connecticut and new jersey. are you saying it is your authority to make the decision on new york city schools, not de blasio? gov. cuomo: in this situation, yes. that is why when we closed them, we close them statewide. we close the island in suburbs and coordinated it. remember the executive order with the 180 day waiver. school days need a waiver if they are going to have less than 180 days of school. everyone is on the exact same schedule and we extend that that is when we extend the waiver. gov. cuomo: and it has to be coordinated. debate on whene to reopen schools. i understand the debate on when to reopen businesses. i do not understand how you would start businesses in may but not open schools until june. until june --ools keep schools closed until june. i don

same with governor ned lamont from the state of connecticut. governor lamont, thank you very much, thank you for being with us. gov. lamont: thanks for getting us organized and everybody here. i will just pick up where phil left off. he mentioned the major trance rotation core doors that connect new york, new jersey, and connecticut, as part of a tri-state workforce. all slowly closed down methodically parts of our economy in a way that we tried to mitigate the effects of the contagion, and we are going to be thoughtful about how we get this opened as well. but governor cuomo, you know all of our pandemic here in connecticut is all along that i-95 metro-north core door where we have -- corridor where we have hundreds of thousands of people going back and forth between new york and connecticut. it is the commuter core door for us but also the covid corridor. listen to the experts as you say and make sure you do not pull the trigger to early. -- too early. singapore, andg, those places have unfortunately seen a small resurgence, the second half o

in terms of connecticut, testing, contact tracing, where are you with that?do you hope to be with that? you know, down the road. >> we're going to ramp up testing big-time, double the amount of testing in the next week or two. great relationship with cvs, head of quest diagnostics grew up in turnbull. thez big companies have access to the swabs and reagents that we knees. that need. that's going to allow us to ramp up, as soon as i can do testing, see how severe it is, sooner i can get people back to work safely. >> i'm sure you have folks thinking about that, trying to figure out when that may be, is it -- do you have a calendar date in mind? a goal? >> i've told people of connecticut may 20th we'll be able to give you a road map how we slowly get back to normalcy. between now and then i'm going to have a lot more protective gear, masks and lot more testing so we know what the nature of the pandemic is. at that point we can build on what type of small businesses, retail businesses we might be able to reopen. probably with a mask, maybe with a fever test, mak

joining us now connecticut governor ned lamont. went out of his way to offer this crazy medical advice. i don't want to spend a lot of time on this because there are more important things to talk to you about. just as a governor of a state, do you worry about people in your state hearing this and thinking in a desperate situation, oh, let's try this? >> i worry about people hearing that and taking him literally and how dangerous that is. i'm really struck by your last segment. katie's husband jonathan was a state employee. they met in danbury, connecticut, and he was a front line worker, he was an essential worker and he put himself at risk even though he had a kid at home who was at some risk as well. it just reminds you what these state employees are doing. they are essential workers. and i think every day about essential workers. there is no correlation between how much you're paid and being how essential you are, and that's what that story reminds me of. >> yeah. >> and talking about the president bleach, i'm not there right no

one in connecticut and one here in virginia. one of which sent jefferson fleeing from the -- from this area. >> other questions? last chance. >> now, one more. >> perhaps there's a lesson in the motivations that will seep yore commanders have, have you notices that the plot of the ilidea follows the story of benedict arnold so closely? at the center of which is a woman? >> yes, helen. >> i hadn't noticed that, but that's interesting. i don't think a woman was so central to this one actually, it makes it sort of exciting to think that peggy was faithful and she stayed with him in exile but not very happy, she came back to the u.s. once after -- years later to see her friends and family in philadelphia. but it was very sad, most people didn't want to have anything to do with her, she went back to london. >> all that classical note. and before we say thank you again, let me tell you what's coming up thursday of this week. if you'll put it up there, we'll take a look. it is a look at jane goodall by her primary biographer dale peter

i don't want that to happen in connecticut. i want the economy to get going again. >> martha: i'm just curious about this and you can tell me if this is not the way it works. but is there a rainy day fund in connecticut for example? and how many weeks to visit support? we've been doing this for six weeks which feels like a really long time. it's not that long. how long can connecticut be okay on the money that it keeps in the coffers for such emergencies? >> that's a really good question, martha. we have set aside about 15% of our budget as a rainy day fund. that allows us to get through this fiscal year, keep our cash balance. we don't have to go and do any borrowing. in terms of the next fiscal year, july 1 going forward, we have to see how fast we can get our economy going. honestly when you have no revenues coming in and these expenses accelerating, that's a problem. we are in decent shape right now, thankfully. >> martha: okay. connecticut governor ned lamont, thanks for answering my question. it was good to see you tonigh

>> we do have a question from connecticut.his line is from ken dixon, your line is now open. >> hi, governors, thanks for getting together in this way. governor lamont, i guess i'm trying to figure out what kind of voice the business community is going to have as their part of the panel that you've got, and i noticed dcd is going to be in charge of that, but how are you guys all going to get together on a regional basis, it sounds a rather crowded bus. >> well, what we are going to do, can, thanks for the question, is each have three people on this committee. and on behalf of the state of connecticut, you talk about business representation, i've got a great friend who is cochair of our economic committee here for the state, heshe was to be had of pepsi. she will be our liaison to the business community here in the state of connecticut, and part of our liaison to all the other governors going forward. she understands better than everybody how urgent it is that we get our economy going again, but there's nothing worse than a fal

but the connecticut river itself. that is a lot of commerce. here is light house there that still stands were that era. it was built around 1800. and there are many bers between huntington and hamilton dealing with while oil for the light house lamps and so forth. then there is a quasi war with france. mane of you have not heard of it. it takes place 1798 into '99. it begins in may of 1798 when a french privateer off the coast of new york harbor captures several american vessels. that's embarrassing. hamilton ever offering opinions is quoted this is too much humiliation after all that has passed he says in a letter to his friend and former fellow aide secretary of war, james mchenry. there is a major problem. john adams realizes he has a potential military crisis on his hands. there is shots fired in open ocean on the atlantic. he needs a military commander. he goes to george washington by letter, would you please return to military service. you know george washington was the only one who ever did this, the only presi

the governor of connecticut has announced that a 6-month-old baby has died in hartford, connecticut. this, he says is the youngest victim of the pandemic at this particular point. the baby did test positive for the coronavirus. certainly this is heartbreaking and just an indication of how the pronifles victims vary. literally it's thought that the virus would focus on older people, people with latent health problems. however it's clear that from the results that are coming from across the country, it doesn't only go for elderly people. it goes for middle-aged people, younger people and in this particular case, a 6-month-old baby. >> all right, make, thank you -- all right, mike, thank you. you're watching al-jazeera. still ahead, indian authorities scramble to find people who attended a gathering with more than 100,000 coronavirus case linked to the event. >> i'm in sweden where a different approach to the coronavirus has made it on t th odd one out in western europe. >> plenty of rain on its way to ewe across much of the southeast australia. a massive cloud has been building the las

when new york sneezes, connecticut gets a cold. a savvy thing and a warning from the governor of connecticut, being next to the epicenter has a big problem. but we're seeing something different in connecticut. in terms of its density as a state versus the number of cases. have they figured something out in connecticut? we'll find out next. we're oscar mayer deli fresh, and you may remember us from your very first sandwich, your move-in-day feast, your bold canine caper, your dinner in the dark, your mammoth masterpiece, (whispering) your 3:47am snack, and whatever happened here. oscar mayer is found in more fridges than anyone else, because it's the taste you count on. make every sandwich count. 450-degree oven, to box, to you, know that from our it's our policy that your pizza is never touched once it comes out of the oven. and we're taking extra steps, like no contact delivery, to ensure it. keeping our customers, employees, and communities safe. during these uncertain times we want you to get great service without leaving the sa

one in connecticut. there is a price on his head. people were after him. they were never able to capture him. washington was unwilling to release andre in exchange for arnold which is what the british officer clinton would have done. the british were annoyed in a sense. they got orarnold. he escaped and went to him. andre was captured. and maybe arnold would have been willing to be traded. but they were -- the british were not willing to do that. and then, of course, once the british left and went to -- back home, there wasn't any chance of that. they volunteered later. but they didn't accept him and he came home to peggy and he said, they will not let me die a soldier's death. but that's a good question about -- >> more questions? >> we have one here. >> were you surprised with what you found about benedict arnold when did you the research? >> i really was. i was surprised at the amazing ability of the man. he had never had any special military training. and, yet, he was just a brilliant officer and leader. of and had that kind of charisma that made peopl

now connecticut isn't unique.ple across this country have been desperately trying to file in the last week for claims they know are -- they're eligible for and they can't get the money. have you had any success in improving, broadening your system to process these claims? >> limited success. i've got to tell you. it spiked up a factor of 10, 15-fold compared to anything we were ready for. certain anything our 40-yield unemployment processing system was ready for. that said, we brought in hundreds of retirees who are now helping to process these claims, folks who left for other departments of the department of labor and we're doing everything we can to catch up, but we're not catching up yet. the good news for our state and other states, even if it takes us awhile to process the claim, it's all retroactive. so you aren't losing out on the unemployment you're due. >> yeah, but people are due to pay their bills immediately. their mortgages, their rents. what do they do about that? >> well, as you know, we've got a 90

i don't want to see that here in connecticut. that would be a body blow to our economy and our confidence. we're not going to let that happen. >> there's not going to be, according to dr. fauci, a vaccine, at least a year from now, so if there is a second wave in the fall or in the winter, that could be so deadly, as robert redfield, the director of the centers for disease control and prevention, is now telling "the washington post." have you started, by the way, governor, preparing for a second wave? or are your efforts basically consumed right now on the current wave, which is so deadly? >> look, we're really focused right now on testing, making sure that we can get back to work safely as possible. antibody testing as well as just the basic pcr testing. that's what we've got to do. we're thinking about the next wave going forward, doing everything we can to make sure that doesn't happen. >> so alarming, so disturbing, this warning from the director of the centers for disease control and prevention. you've also said, governor, y

because i'm not going to operate without coordinating with new jersey and connecticut. but ideally, it's uniform with new jersey, connecticut because they're all connected these things. school and business and geography are all connected. >> fewer hospitalizations reported. does that mean we need to change the plan for these planned field hospitals at this point? >> there's no changing of the pl plan. i'm praying that we don't need a single bed in the additional overflow capacity. i hope javits is empty. well, it's not. there's several hundred people in javits, but ideally, we never needed a bed in javits. we never needed a bed on the u.s. navy ship "comfort." we never needed an overflow bed in the field hospitals. >> mark levin noted the reason the number of hospitalizations is so low in new york city is because they're at capacity and people are being turned away. >> that's not true. that people are going to a hospital and they're being turned away from the hospital? >> people that otherwise would have been hospitalized a few weeks ago. >> no. >> the daily call with t

same with governor ned lamont from the state of connecticut. governor lamont, thank you very much.hank you for being with us. >> andrew, thanks for getting us organized and everybody here. i will just pick up where phil left off. he mentioned the major transportation corridors that interconnect new york, new jersey, connecticut as part of a tri-state workforce. and we all, slowly closed down methodically parts of our economy in a way we tried to mitigate the effects of the contagion. we'll be thoughtful how we get this opened as well. you know, governor cuomo, as you know, all of our pandemic here in connecticut is all along the i-95 metro-north corridor where we have hundreds of thousands of people going back and forth between new york and connecticut. it is, it's a commuter corridor for us but also a covid corridor, which is why it is so important we work together thought fully on this, listen to the experts as you say and make sure you don't pull the trigger too early. i'm looking at japan, hong kong, singapore, those places are unfortunately seeing a small resurgence, the secon

connecticut's governor is ned lamont. he has developed a reputation for being a student of the situation here. watching what was happening in other places, making smart decisions for his state. governor, thank you for joining us. >> well, thank you, chris. it's nice to see you. >> now, in -- >> i'll tell you what i saw when i heard that. >> go ahead. >> verbal hand grenades. two weeks ago he told your brother and myself, i want a mandatory quarantine of the new york metropolitan area. we called him up and talked him down. we got something more reasonable. now, two weeks later, he wants the mandatory opening up of everything. he likes us to run down these rabbit holes. you're right, the governor is going to make the determination what's best for their state. we care deeply about the health and safety of our citizens and get our economy going in a prudent, thoughtful way. >> you said verbal hand grenade. the problem is, it will blow up in your face. now he says, well, testing, that's on the states. my decision is just to re

that is connecticut. officials are bracing for a peak in cases they say could still be a couple of weeks away according to one key model. things are getting worse and worse. outfront now the governor of connecticut. obviously you've talked about your state and having issues with testing, being behind on testing. you just heard drew's report. are some of these problems caused by the red tape he was detailing from the feds on down? >> i think the feds, erin, just got off to a slow start. they didn't take it quite as seriously as they could have. there was maybe some red tape regarding testing. imagine if we had commissioned ford and ge to start making ventilators three months ago instead of three days ago. imagine where we'd be today. the feds are catching up now. fortunately the governors hit the ground very early in terms of social distancing and a lot of protocols and i think that is going to save a lot of lives. >> you have announced and you are one of the few to try to put a date on it. obviously i kno

connecticut gets cold. that's a savvy thing and a warning from the governor of connecticut. being right next to the epicenter has big problems. we're seeing something different in connecticut in terms of its density, as a state, verses the number of cases. have they figured something out in connecticut? i'm going to find out next. and we're here for you - especially now, doing everything possible to keep you connected. through the resilience of our network and people... we can keep learning, keep sharing, keep watching, and most of all, keep together. it's the job we've always done... it is the job we will always do. i thought i had my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis under control. turns out, it was controlling me. seemed like my symptoms were taking over our time together. i knew i needed to talk to my doctor. think he'll make it? that's when i learned humira can help get and keep uc under control when other medications haven't worked well enough. and it helps people achieve control that lasts. so you can experience few or no symptoms. humira can lower your ability to

>> i think we can start reopening connecticut may 20th.ng to phase in over a period of time. the governors are leading on this, which is how i think it should be. but we also need good guidance from the federal government. guidance in terms of testing protocols, help in terms of purchasing things. there the federal government can be really helpful. >> how do you assure them that we're considering health and the economy with equal intensity? >> nobody wants to get this economy open again more than i do. i know what it's meaning to small business. i know what it's doing to our budgets. i understand that. but a false start, getting people back too soon and then having a second wave of this, that would be a body blow to the economy we couldn't handle. >> and governor, final question. these demonstrations we've seen over the weekend and this evening have ratcheted up for many people in this country the tension that exists because of covid-19 and people's concerns about getting the economy going. what would you say specifically to them, not just

so we're in a bad position in connecticut. we're in a bad positio in part because we are competing states and thousands of er hospitals for the same set of goods. the's got to be a more reasonable, rational way to -- [talking simultaneously] laura: sorry to interrupt you. thank you so much forheing w us. we appreciate that. well, as hospitals in new haven, europe and the u.s. are overwhelmed with coronirus cases, it's having a ripplele effect on other patients. take pgnant women, for example. who are very anxious about what that means for their delivery. >> when it's the birth of your child, you want to feel like you're in control. you're not. that's pretty scary. the covid-19 outbreak has especially for pre women.fying, >> i would advice for everyone to come up with a plan, come up co advise for everyone t up with a plan with their family and loved ones and their o.b.'s. reporter: we talked to pregnant womeee about how they'reling and howde the coronavirus pc is making them rethink their birth plans. >> my name is courtney. i

indeed yes the governor of connecticut has announced that a 6 month old baby has died in hartford connecticut this he says is the youngest victim of the pandemic at this particular point the baby did test positive for the coronavirus certainly this is heartbreaking and just an indication of how the profiles of the victims vary and nish really it was thought that the virus would focus on older people people with latent health problems however it's clear enough that it's from a results that are coming from across the country it doesn't go only for elderly people it goes for middle aged people it goes for younger people and in this particular case a 6 month old baby yeah right mike hanna thank you. for watching al-jazeera still had indian authorities to scramble to find people who attended a muslim gathering with more than 100 coronavirus cases linked to the event and. on paul race in sweden where i am from the soft approach to the corona virus has made it the odd one out in western europe. hello there plenty of rain on its way here across much of the southeast of australia quite a massive cloud

so we've got our reopen connecticut advisory board.ll make some recommendations to us on thursday. my humnch is, you'll see some o the small main street businesses that have only been open for delivery, may be able to let some people in there over the course of the next couple of weeks, provided you're wearing a mask and they can socially distance. i think what they opened in georgia will be the last things we open, massage, bars, and such. they're tough to socially distance, and that's going to take a while. >> there's about to be a big fight in washington in this next bill, in there is a next bill, about aid to states like yours. connecticut is a state that net contributes to the federal purse in terms oh of what it gets back in federal dollars. mitch mcconnell had floated the idea of states just declaring bans ru bankruptcy. what does your state need and why should the federal government look to help states like yours? >> well, mitch mcconnell did nobody any favors by turning us into a red state, blue state contay january. kentucky

very brief story barnum tells about his self and the autobiography which he lived in bridgeport connecticut and became a pro- lincoln man and stephen a douglas came through bridgeport to speak during the presidential campaign and one of his friends said what do you know about douglas? to which barnum replied here is a red nose looking like a regular barroom and that was the very image but that was the exact image of pt barnum. >> and then to show the photograph to the various audiences there was a chuckle as people feel even to this day they know barnum on some level. obviously barnum and barrett on - - barnum & bailey and ringling brothers circus is a name we have known throughout her k lifetime. which ended in 2017 so that name has carried on to some extent but we also think we know b him because the early part of his career the famous sign this way to the egress they thought it was a fantastic based they would .ind themselves out on the street and then have to pay another quarter to get back into the museum that story probably is true but also barnum said the phrase there is a sucker bor

>>> this hour, six governors from new york, new jersey, connecticut rks connecticut, rhode island, andnsylvania emphasizing they have the power to reopen, that's their decision. joining us now, governor, i want to get your reaction to the meeting that we just heard from that andrew cuomo sort of was heading up about cooperation amongst governors to try and figure out what a reopening would look like, based both on public health issues and economic issues. >> this is something governors across the country have been talking about for quite some time. i didn't get the chance to see governor cuomo's but i think it's a really good idea, the regional cooperation. the national governor's association. we've had ongoing discussions for weeks about all the things that might go into reopening in various states. here in my state, we've been talking about this for almost 35 days since we first declare ad state of emergency. including dr. scott gottlieb, former fda commissioner. tom from johns hopkins with some of our business leaders about how would we go about doing this in a safe way. it's someth

it didn't happen for many more years in connecticut. but eventually, the 14th amendment to proceeded that. but anyway, i make a case in the book that he became more enlightened about race. people in the reviews that pointed out that in 1860 at a point where he was becoming more enlightened, he exhibited a little person, 4 feet tall, a black man who weighed about 50 pounds. as the missing link between charles dickens book it just come out on the origin of species in 1959. this was 1960. he started exhibiting this man. this man johnson. putting in a pursuit. it was just awful. one of the things that was interesting was when he was exhibited there, the white man was upfront telling his story telling him how vaping found in africa or something. in the background, this man would sort of be mocking the white guy. and kind of saying that don't really believe this. this is not really what's going on. it was sort of messed up in some way i guess. and barnum clearly was probably encouraging that he ended up building a house for this man in bridge

here in connecticut we're still on the upcurve in terms of hospitalizations and infections. it's going from the southern part of the state towards the northern part of the state. so we've got to be careful before we open the door again to schools and everything else. you see what's going on in singapore and hong kong. they have a second surge going on. >> i suppose i'm skeptical of this just given the experience of this country at the national level and the state level on the rise of this. at the early stage of the outbreak still to this day, 3 million tests have been conducted nationally. that's less than 1% of the population of the u.s. countries like south korea has managed much more broadbased testing. what confidence should people at home have that as we get to the next stage of this, when we're talking about reopening, that the u.s. will demonstrate an ability to test that it clearly did not have as we got into this? >> jim, no question, if we had gone after the mass, if we had gone after the testing agents a few months ago we would be in a very different position than
