i would also like to commend the department of defense, the federal emergency management agency, and the immigration and naturalization service, for their outstanding efforts. their workforce has been magnificent. likewise, the outpouring of support and assistance from state and local authorities has just been tremendous, and we would especially like to thank local authorities and state authorities who have worked around-the-clock on this effort. foreign authorities' support and assistance has also been of great meaning to us. i am most grateful to all americans who have provided leads and information about this investigation. i urge people with any information to contact the nearest fbi office, or call 1-800-905-1514. so far, we have received over 2650 calls to this telephone number since we announced it yesterday afternoon. this investigation has been fast-moving. although the investigation is in the preliminary stage, this announcement shows substantial progress made by dedicated law enforcement agents and officers in a short time, but we continue to pursue absolutely every lead.

the federal emergency management agency will pay 75% of the cost. and joining me now to discuss the challenges facing the homeless is dr. margot herchel. obviously the homeless have specific risks. it's hard to stay home when you don't have one. >> right. exactly. i think people experiencing homelessness face several risks. one is just they're so much more likely to catch this infection because of so much of what we're trying to do to prevent people from catching this infection revolves around staying at home, keeping distance from other people. that's obviously impossible to do if you don't have a home. many people who are homeless live in crowded shelters or live outdoors where they need to come together to get food or other resources. so, extremely high risk of developing the infection. >> you know, i was reading an article in "wired" and you were quoted and i wanted to read it. it encapsulates this so well. it's this, quote, it's a calamity, it's our worst nightmare, it's an enormous crisis superimposed on an existing crisis. expand on that and

onto the arrangement while looking into whether they could intercept the masks for the federal emergency management agency, for fema. quote, the federal government has been quietly seizing supplies across the country, taking the orders placed by hospitals and clinics and not pickly reporting where the products are being routed. but in this case there was no warehouse and there were no masks to seize. so hur ray for there being a criminal probe against the scammers who were trying to sell these masks that didn't really exist to california health workers and hospitals, right? hur ray that that's now going to be a criminal probe. but the only reason the federal government found out about this scheme and found out the masks didn't exist is because when they thought the masks did exist, they were trying to steal them from california because the federal government is still doing that even now. i mean it's three months since the united states started fighting its own coronavirus outbreak, and ours is now, by far, the worst outbreak in the world. but this far into it, to the extent that we have a national respons

the federal emergency management agency, fema, is not publicly disclosing what supplies it's seizing or where it's planning to reroute them. one medical official asked "the los angeles times" -- "are they stockpiling this stuff? are they distributing it? we don't know. and are we going to ever get any of it back if we need supplies? it would be nice to know these things." back in the united states, one of america's greatest songwriters, john prine, died tuesday at a nashville hospital of covid-19. for five decades, the grammy-winning, folk singer centered the lives and struggles of ordinary people in his music as he chronicled the stories of working-class people from vietnam vet to residents of his parents' hometown of paradise, kentucky, a town ravished by strip mining. john prine was 73 years old. the celebrated music producer however has died after experiencing symptoms consistent with covid 19. he was 64-year-old. jersey city councilman michael yun has also died of covid-19. in 2013, yun became the first korean-born person elected to the jersey city council. texas will continue t
