speaking specifically for hopkins, one thing hopkins has done is recognize and honor every employee in who comes in every day to provide some sort of care, either direct or indirect patient care. one of the other things this pandemic has shown us is that, we are a big institution. we are no different from a lot of big health institutions. we are big and lumbering and take a long time to make a decision. there are people at the frontline who make excellent decisions in a very short period of time, and make a huge difference in a patient's outcome. tom: neysa ernst with johns hopkins school of nursing, just wonderful to have her on and the others we have spoken to around the world on this pandemic. i want to give you the data off of this cool thing, better than the terminal. futures up 32. the real news here is the vix with a vengeance, two days in a row coming in at a 36, 37, 38 32.6e, we are down to a with a 31 handle earlier. it as come in, i will call jumble in the yield space. oil brunt -- front and center. west texas intermediate, and 11 handle, really difficult. coming up in the 1

i. >> harry hopkins, to start with him. when was -- at the end of the new deal period he was diagnosed with cancer of the stomach and he had almost his entire stomach removed. public life gave him an extra less on life. when he was made the foreign policy adviser he got through what most people would have died from. he was so sick during the war. he looked like he was dying. he was so thing. his body was being eatan away. after roosevelt died and there was no longer room for him in public life then he allowed himself to die. churchill said he was like a columnibling light house. fun and full of energy it kept him alive but his body was giving way won him. princess martha she too had illnesses in her 40s. and died young in her 50s. so did lucy. tuberculosis spread and something bad happened. >> how old was fdr when he died? >> he was 63. >> how old was eleanor. >> eleanor lasted from 1882 to 1961. so she is sent something. she lasted another 17 years after fdr's death. >> the kids. how many kids were there? >> that's not a h

at one point, missy had been involved with harry hopkins. can you imagine the press loving -- "oh, my god, harry's living there, too. is harry involved with missy?" and i think, in some ways, that if we hadn't had, at that time, that kind of space for their private lives, they wouldn't have been replenished as political leaders. and so, too -- now, the paralysis is more interesting, in some ways. you almost wish that roosevelt had had the courage to go to the public, and say to the public, "i'm crippled and it's okay." because they loved him so much, in part because of his courage and his strength, but only at the very end of his life did he ever give a speech sitting down. when he came back from the altar, he was so tired that he finally excused himself; instead of standing on his braces, and sat down. and, for some reason, that speech made an enormous emotional impact on the country, because they then saw that he was conquering this disability. but, at that time, nobody thought you could go to your country and tell them that you were a par

tom: turning to johns hopkins and public health, i look at it like infrastructure where that nation hason of being underfunded. there's no question we have been that way when we look at this moment and this pandemic. what is the first condition to better public health in america? first we need: public health is lost more than 50,000 workers in the last decade. it has been very underfunded, but particular now bear our people to do some of these tasks, that is very important. we will need partnerships, even with more people we still not have the reach. we will have to have the private sector mobilized behind public health in different areas and provide resources like hotel space for people to stay when they are sick. i think for the future we will need to rethink the priorities. we have so little attention paid to prevention of different kinds, including the harm a pandemic can cause. guy: we appreciate your time. thank you. news coming up from jp morgan over the next couple of minutes, jamie dimon's letter is out and he is back from surgery. that theing basically earnings at the bank wil

soil than all of the americans killed during the war in vietnam a tally by johns hopkins university shows the death toll now is beyond 58300 and more than 1000000 people have been infected you can see there how the numbers are unpacking the total confirmed well over a 1000000 total deaths 58351 if you go to this website left hand side you can see there a running tally the united states spain italy france the u.k. number 4 germany turkey russia all the way down to and including belgium as well let's go live now to washington and our correspondent there mike hanna mike more than a 1000000 infections it's an astonishing figure to get to grips with. indeed peter and to put that reference to the vietnam war and to come to. so there were 'd $58000.00 people killed in the vietnam war that was over a 10 year period the death rate we've seen in the u.s. has basically in the last few months more than a 1000000 infected that means roughly one in every $330.00 americans has tested positive for the corona virus and now the fear among many health workers is that this figure could be as much as 10 perce

we can do better with andrew the bloomberg school of public health at johns hopkins, definitive on virusuch for joining us. i want you to clear up right now the very lengths of -- very of covid. virulence what are relearning? andrew: this virus is truly interesting in the sense that it causes this broad spectrum of diseases. the vast majority of people will suffer mild to moderate diseases , maybe even no symptoms at all. when you look at the vulnerable portions of the population, the elderly, people with secondary medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and lung disease, and even relatively healthy individuals, there are a significant part the population that have the disease that require admission into the hospital. it is a huge spectrum in terms of how it presents after infection. tom: i don't want to talk enzymes on a friday and do not want to talk rna transcriptase other stuff of doing a test, but i would suggest that america from the top-down does not understand the for cyst -- the sophisticated chemistry and biochemistry of tests. test andis it to do a millions of test

pandemic around the world is now more than 150,000, according to latest figures collated byjohns hopkins university in the united states. almost one quarter of those deaths have occurred in the us itself — the number is now almost 37,000. four european countries — italy, spain, france and the uk — make up half of the worldwide toll. as efforts continue to develop effective antibody tests, experts at the world health organization have cast doubt on the idea. they said there was no evidence that having had the virus would guarantee immunity from future infection. a lot of the preliminary information that's coming to us right now would suggest that quite a low proportion of the population have actually serial converted. so it may not solve the problem. there's been an expectation that maybe herd immunity may have been achieved, and that the majority of people in society may have already developed antibodies. i think the general evidence is pointing against that and pointing towards a much lower zero prevalence. so it may not solve the problem that governments are trying to solve. donald tru

joshua: it is an incredible dedication at johns hopkins.ave felt that this their calling, their response ability. the medical center has been very supportive in terms of making sure there is protective equipment and all kinds of other mental health resources for staff. but, it is not just the doctors and the nurses. there's a real sense of purpose really for everybody working there. i think this is a moment in a way that many people have been training for even if they didn't realize it at the time. tom: one final question, if i could. great fear is out there, in new york, particularly in queens, it has been really quite horrific. what is the ability of this virus to spread to secondary cities and tertiary locations across the nation? joshua: what is really remarkable to me is how so many isple believe that what's happening there, meaning somewhere else, is not going to happen here, meaning where i live. nobody should really have that sense of confidence. people thought, well, it's in china, it couldn't come to italy. it is in italy, it cann

johns hopkins university reports that the u.s. has more than 706,000 cases and more than 37,000 deaths. meantime a battle is brewing over plans to reopen the country, testing is seen as the key to do it safely. the white house insists that the capacity is already there to begin the process. but president trump is not giving a time line. >> which states are ready to reopen in your mind and how soon? >> i want to let the governors make that decision. we're watching very closely. if we see something happening bad this we think is wrong, we'll come down very strong on that. >> but he went on twitter friday and singled out several states led by democrats highlighting how many governors find themselves at odds with the president. erica hill has the latest. >> this is mayhem. we need a coordinated broaappro between the fweg and tederal go and the states. >> reporter: governor cuomo repeating his plea for a help as the president tweets states have to step up their testing. >> don't pass the buck without passing the bucks. >> when it there

said what is immediate that you need, i need antiaircraft and aluminum and hopkins come back that youobviously can't use aluminum in the battlefield. stalin is going to say we will survive and continue here and also the foreign ministry wants declaration that if japan joins the war that the u.s. would enter the war and in moscow they see it the same way. keeping the chinese, keeping the japanese from attacking the soviet union is critical. so what is going to happen is that u.s. is in japanese would have their oil continue killing chinese but they would be in a stronger position. at this point he decides that a flexible restriction of oil production to japan is not going to become a total embargo. are you going to provide to attack the soviet union and that's the decision he makes at the time and that's the moment where we see the unification of asia-pacific war and the european war. let me go on rapidly here in view of the time. i found two other pieces of evidence i think are critical to show what they are thinking of this. canadian prime minister mckenzie king has close relationshi

give us the scope and scale at johns hopkins university.ok forward to a may that will be improved from april? lauren: i do hope so. i think we are seeing a slowdown in our cases and starting to see a pressure release, but that is the time to be vigilant and not let our guard down. cases asee spikes in people relax their social distancing practices, go back to work, and get tired of being at home and make different choices. just because we are seeing a slowdown in cases does not mean this is over and we suddenly have a toolkit to fight this. we have to follow the social distancing and it does get hard. we have to remind each other it is still really important. lauren, there are two things a lot of people will be worried about. we don't know if they have antibodies and if they do, if they can catch it again. we hear that this could be recurring every year like the flu, but more deadly. lauren: with the antibodies, people can get the disease and not show antibodies. we have a lot of tests that we are not sure how well they are detecting antibo
