illinois.we need to make sure we are tracking all of that, that we doing anything we can for all the enemies of the state. and as a look at the aftermath, at past the peak year which seems hard to look for at the moment as we watch the numbers rise, but as you look past the peak we will be evaluating whether there are measures we can take, whether it's originally based on the type of industry where we can start to ratchet down the stay-at-home orders, or the other orders that have been put in place. >> this is for dr. ezike. are you considering a state why do not resuscitate order for coronavirus cases? >> no. >> governor pritzker, are you satisfied with the portion of the stigmas that relates to the defense production act and doesn't go far enough and doesn't only apply to production of ppe orkut president trump use it to build the wall? >> well, there is nothing that's been exercised with regard to the defense production act. every day i pounded the table of the defense production act, , a, t

the illinois covid-19 response fund will complement and support the efforts of the illinois department of human services and our sister agencies and enable us to fill the gaps while our administration has been responsive, there are places where philanthropic resources can move more quickly and more directly. together we can maximize and leverage our assets to provide a safety net for providers and those individuals who are experiencing crisis situations during this pandemic. we, i have committed to being a transparent eager partner to this fund so that we can be in true alignment. i think the founders for your foresight and swift response to meeting the needs of all in our state. at this time, it is my pleasure to introduce u.s. senator durbin >> thank you very much. it is an honor to be here and part of this presentation. i want to thank the governor. when you stand for office, you never know what challenge you will face if you are elected. no one could possibly imagine the challenge which is governor and our entire team leading the state at this moment are facing. each in every day.

this morning i spoke to the governor of illinois. we can speak it on an almost daily basis, sometimes several times a day, and asked him about the state of the situation in our home state of illinois. unfortunately, there's still desperate for testing kits. illinois has about 5000 more kits that were provided yesterday by private company at the urging of our governor, but we've never seen a number of test kits that we believe are necessary to measure the current state of this coronavirus in her home state of illinois. the official count, and i might add that word official, is that we have had 288 illinoisans affected, and one fatality. i believe the number of infections in the official report grossly understate the exposure and in my home state f illinois. and once more tests are administered and we received the results come unafraid we are going to see a dramatic increase in that number of reported infections in the state. these cases yesterday, 128 new cases were announced yesterday in our state. it is the largest single one-day in

third cultural context in illinois. illinois was growing rapidly populationwise so much so that in 1841 the national government granted illinois three new congressional seats, something we will see take place again after our census year in 2020, we relegate our congressional seats based on population. now they have these new congressional seats that will need representatives of these new representatives will want to draw from different voters, the morgan -- mormons are very wanted people. on top of that illinois's legislature in order to take advantage of the population boom passes a series of legislation that grand suffrage, the ability to vote to any weight men who resided in the state for six months. your only criteria is if you are white, or a man, all these recent mormon arrivals will be eligible to vote insignificant and upcoming elections. the mormons were anxious to take advantage of this anxiety. they believed over the last decade you had majority cultures unwilling to listen to their interests, unwilling to fo

illinois has about 5000 more kids that were provided yesterday by private company. in the printing of our government but we've never seen the number of test kits that we believe are necessary to measure the current state of this coronavirus in her home state of illinois. the official count, and i might add that word official, is that we have had88 288 billing audiee infected into one totality. i believe the number of infections in the official report closely understates the in my home state of illinois. and once more tests are administered and we received results i'm afraid we are going to see a dramatic increase in the number of reported state. these cases yesterday, one to eight new cases were announced hesterday in our state. it is the largest single one-day increase since we have been reporting. we have two additional counties that are now touched out of the one or 2102, with infections. an additional 20 people long-term care facility tested positive bringing a total h of 4230 residents and 12 members of the staff in that one facility and 41000's unemployment in

in illinois. we should note courts have ordered 40 polling stations to remain open an extra hour in illinois in heavily populated cook county. 374 delegates are up for grabs in florida and illinois, the top prizes tonight. they account for most of the 441 delegates at stake in this round of voting. and, jake, we already have a lot of votes coming in from florida. >> that's right, wolf. we'll see if we can actually project a winner in the sunshine state. joe biden is aiming to demonstrate electability in the crucial battleground of florida that president trump won in 2016 and now claims as his home state. bernie sanders is currently trailing in florida by a wide margin with the state already reporting 65% of the vote. let's check in with our correspondents. arlette saenz is covering the biden campaign. arlette? >> reporter: well, jake, these early results from the biden campaign is certainly welcome news as we're waiting for florida to finish their voting. but the biden campaign acknowledged today

this is with the -- through the illinois hospital association. what we need they said is a direct and immediate infusion of funds. we need access to critical supplies. we need a surge capacity. there are 300,000 hospital workers in illinois. -- is lacking in so many areas. it turns out that our federal stockpile, whatever it's worth was either not large enough or cannot be distributed fast enough to meet the needs of these hospitals. one of the hospital administrators, i'm not going to name one of the hospitals but one of the hospital administrators of a major hospital in chicago said we're worried about a shortage in ventilators and i heard that over and over again. they also want to let us know that these hospitals are taking huge financial hits today. we know about the restaurant industry because we see the closed restaurants and we can imagine all the workers inside not reporting to work and trying to make things work for their families and the circumstances. but we don't appreciate the fact that because of this covid-19 many of these hospita

second point about illinois. this was a state that was nearly evenly divided between the two political parties at this time. on one side the democrats. with the state laws. and then you also had the more enlightened sense of politics. maybe we need to find a way to strengthen the government to protect those in this society. both of these parties are rather new. america's political system as a party system had only been around for about a decade by this point. the first national car party convention had only taken place in the 1830s they were anxious to take advantage of illinois and incomes the mormons with their thousands of believers and thousands of converts streaming in. illinois was growing rapidly. three new congressional seats. when you relegate the congressional seats. now they have these new congressional seats that are gonna need representatives. there you want to want to draw from different voters. they are going to want to be a very wanted people. illinois legislature in order to take advantage of the

then there's illinois. the turnout is way down in illinois. mail-in state. there's some of that but not a lot. and the same-day vote here was very, very thin. so it's going to be down probably 20% statewide. but biden does win this by 20-plus points. this was basically a two-point state in 2016. it continues to trend. i think this is the most notable trend big picture that i've seen in the primaries here. i'm circling ohio. we didn't get numbers from ohio today. but these are the kinds of states demographically where the general election in 2016 was decided, where donald trump got that margin, that critical margin with non-college white voters that allowed him to beat hillary clinton in the electoral college. and you see that demographic is particularly pronounced in these states. and what you saw tonight in illinois is what we saw in missouri, in minnesota, and in michigan earlier. massive, i'm talking 30 to 40-point swings here among white voters without college degrees. blue collar white voters here who in 2016 lined up with sanders by doub

for going forward because illinois has had its 1st death 22 cases in a nursing home and 55 new cases that's a 50 percent increase there will be criticism for it going forward with this election john thanks very much indeed euro 2020 is set to become euro 2021 because of cut on the virus the football championship is being postponed for a year the latest big sporting event to be affected had been a strong call to push the tournament back from june and july it came off the days of talks of the governing body you wait for it said quarters in switzerland rather than being held in a single country it was due to be played in 12 different european nations sports correspondent lee wellings says the decision may allow the domestic football leagues which are also suspended to be completed in the summer. it was absolutely the decision that you want to have to touch in these circumstances is extraordinary circumstances to delay my year makes perfect sense that when we start thinking see how the forwards will move into mines in place of 12 and cities they were ok with it remains in crisis. if ther

illinois encourages congress to appropriate funds enough to reimburse illinois and other states for the costs associated with this aggressive response. public health infrastructure such as data management, information sharing, and operations management are essential just for day-to-day function, but they're vital in the settings of public health emergencies. for example, during this response, the state health department is closely monitoring the availability of airborne infection isolation rooms. these isolation rooms are providing -- are proving critical in the treatment of these patients by controlling the spread of the virus to the public and health care workers. we inventory these beds daily as an indicator of disease rates and to adjust surge capacity estimates. an important support for this capability came from aspers hospital preparedness program. given the transmissibility of covid-19, isolation sites are required to house effective -- house infected persons. it's challenging to find establishments willing to take on isolation or quarantine patients. when covid-19 began in illin

illinois has lost its first resident to the coronavirus. a pandemic which is threatening our country and the world. her name was patricia freeson, 61 years old, a retired nurse. she was an exceptional person, and her brother said she cared for everyone but herself. she lived taking care of people. and she loved it. she started having breathing difficulties last week and was hospitalized at one of our better hospitals in the city of chicago and succumbed yesterday to the coronavirus and its complications. she had had a history of respiratory illness, but she was taking care of herself and staying home, as she was told to do. her family remembers the last time she left the house was two weeks ago to attend the funeral of a friend. she did entertain visitors at her home from time to time. her two sisters have asked for tests themselves because they were in contact with her, and i'm sorry to report they have been unable to obtain those tests, at least as of late last night. i have spoken to the governor of illinois almost every day, and we are

president, thank you, the senator from illinois. if we want to get something done, we find a way through unanimous consent, to all of us agree. who can say anything, but this is a national crisis. we're going to lean-- we're going to make our unwillingness to do anything contingent on some parliamentary trick? no, we're paid to do this job. just because senator mcconnell has taken to your days and not done it doesn't mean we shouldn't, we should work. >> thank you. thank the leader. >> i thank the senator from-- >> senator from massachusetts. >> mr. president, thank you, mr. president. i just want to echo what the senator from illinois is saying, what the senator from ohio is saying. we're in a national emergency. we should have already finish this stage of dealing with this crisis because there are many more phases to deal with. we should ensure as part of this debate that there's sick leave for every single worker in our country. that's not in this package that's coming through right now. we have to make sure everyone is covered.

i was on a plane this morning from springfield illinois to chicago. there were six passengers on the plane. most people are listening to the advice of the medical experts and avoiding unnecessary travel. but unfortunately, we were required to come back today, from across the united states. some member stated over the weekend because her homes are too far away. some tried to drive this morning to be externally safe. the factac is we were asked to airlineecessary flights to come a back here today this week, and frankly expose ourselves to the possibility of some public health risk. and ask our staff to do the same. in addition to that, we have been counseled by the leaders, both at the state and federal level to not gather in groups of ten. t there are two, four, six, eight, ten, looks like we are breaking that rule right here on the floor of the senate. the obvious question is why? why a do we put ourselves at risk? why do we puto our staff at risk and their families to come back here.p the first issue was a foreign intelligence surveillance act which

also illinois, take a look here.ois captures the biggest difference between what bernie sanders was dealing with four years ago versus now. what i mean was illinois was a close state four years ago. bernie sanders almost won illinois four years ago. this is what illinois looked like four years ago. this is what the big states all across the midwest looked like four years ago when sanders was running against clinton. remember, sanders actually won michigan four years ago. he was very close in illinois. he won minnesota. bernie sanders did really well in states like illinois four years ago. this is what illinois looked like last night. one single solitary county from the state going for bernie sanders. this is where the university of illinois is. you see even there it was a narrow margin. basically what's happened across the midwest and elsewhere, but it's really pronounced in the midwest is blue collar white voters, particularly blue collar white voters in 2016, were with bernie sanders, were against hillary clinton,

yesterday i spent an houron fthe telephone with the governor of illinois, jd pritzker. talking about the reality on the ground in myhome state and the choices that we face . it's a tough job being governor . never cover and when you have to make a decision about the lifestyle of families and al individuals about the businesses and their future. and literally a life-and-death choice in terms of policy. no one willingly accepts that but when you run for high office, there's always that possibility. these concerned and i share his concern about the t capacity of our hospitals and thclinics in illinois to abide or to deal with the infections that are becoming more and more common in our state. the numbers of infections are growing as the number of tests are increasing and any indication that there are many undiagnosed people in our midst and that number is likely to continue toincrease . those who administer the hospitals of illinois have given us some yardsticks to measure the future. they suggest to us that if 20 percent of the population of my state should become infecte
