senate against cory gardner. governor, good to see you again. thank you for being with us.is kind of hard to believe because it was hard to believe for most americans when they would listen to those press briefings with the president who said basically everybody is in it for themselves, jared kushner said we have a stockpile and the state haves to deal with their stuff so colorado took the president at face value and ordered its own ventilators. >> yeah, well, it's hard to imagine that this is the reality that we face. give governor polis a lot of credit and colorado is grateful for the 100 ventilators we got but what is the process by which you get measured? when i was governor, we had the federal government was careful and made sure that population and infection rates and, you know, overall need would be the criteria by which, you know, necessary supplies that you don't have enough of, that's how they would be circulated and distributed. that's obviously not happening if you're using them as political favors. >> governor, talk to me about how you think this went down beca

but the truth is it's by it's bipartisan isn't it we saw we saw a cory booker who was a presidential candidate we saw we saw a chance of all things coming from trump trump said you know why why can't we just import drugs and take advantage of drugs that come out of canada and it looked like it was going to pass and like at the rat last minute cory booker goes around and he put 16 democrats together and they defeated now that ridiculous argument we don't know that the canadian drugs are as good as ours that was really their argument ok so talk about that because people don't get it it's is a democrat issue just like it's a republican issue that's why they love biden being a contender right now well you know drug companies are pretty smart with their money when they buy off politicians they are slightly more republican with it but by one or 2 percent they typically spread money evenly so that way no matter who wins they win and that's what happened with cory booker he's from new jersey a lot of drugs are manufactured in new jersey that those are his people that's who he represents and

thank you, new jersey senator cory booker. always happy to you on the show. >> thanks, al, for all you're doing, man. >>> all right. for some analysis, let's bring in christina greer, associate professor of political science at fordham university and the host of the podcast faqnyc. and susan del percio, she is a republican strategist and political analyst for msnbc. let me start by asking both you have about some news that broke today. "the washington post" is reporting that there were members of cdc, researchers that were in geneva working with the world health organization in january, and they were giving, sending back information to the white house of the seriousness of the pandemic and the threat it was, which absolutely refutes the timeline that the white house has given in terms of when they were informed, and it also certainly raises the question of if they were being told this by the world health organization, and why is the president saying to world health organization should not receive -- he is going to freeze their

a senator there who's a terrific senator, cory and cory gardener, and he called me last night. he said could you get 100 ventilators for colorado, and we just sent them out. and they'll be there very shortly. but it looks like we're in great shape from the bed standpoint. it looks like we're in great shape from the ventilator standpoint. and you just heard, i ordered 500 million masks. 500 n-95s and others and surgical. but we ordered 500 million masks, 300 and 200, and they're going to be here very shortly. so we're really in great shape. and we started off with an empty cupboard. so i'm going to leave the vice president and his group to handle it, and i will see you probably tomorrow. thank you very much. thank you. >> good evening, everyone. and to our fellow americans, good afternoon. we find ourselves in the midst of a very tough week for americans in areas most impacted by coronavirus. the new york city area and new jersey, louisiana. continue to focus resources and attention on those areas, and i know the hearts and prayers of the american people are with all of those co

cory deber grave. thank you so much for joining us.ou do a lot of intubations to get people on ventilators. we hear about the time that people need to spend on ventilators from this virus. it's not days, it can be weeks. that's part of the reason why there's such a shortage of ventilators, specifically in hot spots like new york. what is the likelihood of survival or what's the survival rate once somebody gets put on a ventilator? >> well, thank you, katy, for having me on. it's not really certain at this point. the datd is still being accumulated as far as what the survival rate is. we know that it's really patient dependent. it depends on age and chronic medical problems. there's lots of things you can do to try to prolong survival. when a parvet itient is intubat increase the oxygen, you can flip the patient entirely upside down. that helps the lungs achieve enough oxygen nation. b but it's hard to predict who's going to live and who's going to die, which makes this more challenging. >> doctor, i first became cognizant of pictures s

cory abare. we'll get to him in just a moment. i'm going to walk back over here, get closer to the testing site. i want to bring in suffolk county executive steve ballone. thank you very much for your time. i know you're busy. first of all, 1,000 new cases a day. that was the case yesterday afternoon. is that still where we are right now in suffolk county? >> that's absolutely right. we've had 1,000 cases a day. we're continuing to see hospitalizations rise every day and, of course, the death toll is going up here in suffolk county and across long island. we're approaching on long island nearly 1,000 deaths. it's extraordinary to think back, but a month ago we did not have a single confirmed case in this county. now we have more confirmed cases than every other state in this country besides new york and new jersey. >> how did that happen? what's happened here on long island? >> i think part of what we have come to understand is, because there was a lack of testing, when we had our first confirmed case and then the cases thereafter

and senator cory booker is my live guest coming up from the hard-hit state of new jersey. >> at a time when family can't be there, bedside manner takes on new meaning. each 13-hour shift brings new challenges. >> exhausting. today was really rough. >> michelle is the director of nursing. >> the nursing staff have been amazing. every time they go into a patient room, they know that not only are they can caregiver, but they are the stand-in family member. -in family member to everyone working to keep america strong, thank you.

i am cory with san francisco and we're doing stay safe and we're going to talk about what shelter in place or safe enough to stay in your home means. we're here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco and joined by carla, the deputy director of spur and one of the persons who pushed this shelter in place and safe enough to stay concept and we want to talk about what it means and why it's important to san francisco. >> as you know the bay area as 63% chance of having a major earthquake and it's serious and going to impact a lot of people and particularly people in san francisco because we live on a major fault so what does this mean for us? part of what it means is that potentially 25% of san francisco's building stock will be uninhibit tabl and people can't stay in their homes after an earthquake. they may have to go to shelters or leave entirely and we don't want that to happen. >> we want a building stock to encourage them to stay in the homes and encourage them to stay and not relocate to other locations and shelters. >> that's right so that means the housing needs

let's go to cori coffin.r is balances all of this. >> he's moving forward very methodically, if you will, because new york has the highest number of not only cases but deaths. for new york it's such a greater pressure to make sure that you're not going forward too soon with reopening and re-creating a spine. he did say we're hope 68 we're on the other side of that. governor is getting a bit of push back is the need for testing. he feels that's one of the reasons he will hold for the state, at least until may 15th at the very earliest. he feels that testing is so vitally important and we need the government's help, states do, in testing. he mentioned that. despite the fact he's a proponent of getting more government help for testing, he also said that he is a proponent of having the states individually decide when they reopen, because he does believe the numbers dictate strategy. take a listen to what he says about that. you open one area, but not another, i can drive through that area, i can go to a restauran

the senator there who is a terrific senator, cory, cory gardner, and he called me last night. could you get 100 ventilators for colorado? and we just sent them out. and they'll be there very shortly. but it looks like we're in great shape from the beds assistant point. it looks like from the ventilator standpoint. you just heard. i just ordered 500 million masks, 500 n95s and surgical. 500 million mask, 300 and 200, and they're going to be here very shortly. so we're really in great shape. and we started off with an empty cupboard. so i'm going leave the vice president and his group to handle it. and i will see you probably tomorrow. okay? thank you. thank you very much. thank you. >> the president finished up with his portion of the briefing. we understand the vice president is going to be take over the task force briefing. i want to bring in dr. william hazelton, who has also been watching with us, because the president, again talked about hydroxychloroquine, and just again, doctor, walk people through about whether on the use of this therapeutic, it is obviously a little bi

let's go to cory who has been recently furloughed. cory, thank you for being here today. what's your question for the doctor? >> hi. when do you expect people to return to work and when you do, would you expect to see cases again? >> martha: good question. >> i think what we are going to see is probably later types of decisions to allow certain people to go back to work and right now, we are seeing governors looking at the list of what is essential and what is nonessential workers and that is being modified as we get through this. i do think that this virus isn't going to go anywhere so when we do relax social distancing, we are going to see more transmission occurring. the question will be will that transmission be at a level low enough and that's the main issue is trying to keep the number of cases current at a speed and a density that our hospitals can handle and when we do relax these restrictions, we are going to see more cases, but they're going to probably be in a setting where hospitals are much better prepared to handle them. >> martha: thank you very much, thank
