what this is is california packing up and shipping working ventilators to new jersey, 100 to new jersey, also 100 to new york, also 100 to illinois. those arrived tonight. tomorrow california will be shipping 50 more ventilators to d.c. and 50 to maryland and 50 to nevada. this is mutual aid among the states. california's governor saying that, listen, this is a loan, not a gift. if and when california needs these back for their own hospitalization peak, governor of california saying he knows these states will help california in their time of need just as california is helping now as these other states have such trouble. california isn't in its tame of most acute need right now because california is where and how we have learned as a country that here, just like china, here just like everywhere, it matters if you take action to stop the epidemic. it particularly matters if you take early action and decisive action. california had the first known case of community transmission of coronavirus in this country, somebody who hadn't visited china, no known contact with anyone positive, but nev

is jersey, -- i know it sunday. new jersey, connecticut, new york. how do you get three states to agree on one plan? and it is hard. great, but it is difficult. compromise, but it is also the right way to do it. for each of the three states, it is easiest for each state to say, i am going to do my own thing. i am governor lamont. i'm going to do a connecticut plan. why do i have to coordinate with new jersey and new york? for me, it is easier to say one plan. why do i have to coordinate with governor murphy and governor lamont? we would have to compromise. it is easier to do it alone. except 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 jersey,lan that new connecticut and new york can execute simultaneously, which is what we have done to date. we have made very difficult decisions together. we implemented them together because we were very aware of the interplay between these pieces. and, our regional workforce. you take an action in ne

it is not unique to new jersey.ome places around the country have multiple percentage of -- multiples in terms of percentage of lives lost relative to the representation in the overall society. the latino number looks about what the representation is in the broader statewide community. we want to get more on that. data, ever look at census the latino number, you have to do a cross racial view and the the number at about 17.5% is approximately in-line with the representation of the state. i want to remind folks that we care about all of this information, including that piece of information. that is not like we are seeing elsewhere. we have to get to the bottom of that. so in new york city, the number relative to the representation of the hispanic community, the number of fatalities is a margin above the representation of the overall community. more on that as we get to it. long-term care continues to be a particular area of focus and concern and may be one of the hardest nuts we have to break in this crisis. we discu

this is not just about new jersey -- though it is first and foremost about new jersey -- for us to rush ahead of pennsylvania, new york or any of our other four state partners. it would risk returning our entire region back to lockdown mode. this does not mean we will or can take every step at the exact same time or in the exact same way as our neighbors. that did not happen as we closed our states and it will not happen as we reopen but we will do so in a harmonized way. we will share information and make decisions based on the guidance of experts and with an norstar to protect lives across our seven states and the nation. for all sevenk governors in our counsel when i say, we only want to have to do this once. with that in mind, here are the six principles that will keep new jersey on the road back using renewed public health for renewed economic health. adhering to the first four principles will secure our public health. one, following trends of sustained reductions in new covid-19 cases and other key metrics reflecting a decreasing burden of disease. two, expanding testing capacity

64,000 cases in new jersey.00 deaths in new jersey thus far. and in terms of those two states being part of a northeast consortium working to the, one of the interesting differences between the two states is that new york was able to scale up its own ability to test lots of people. what it revealed was terrifying numbers of infections in new york. but new jersey has had a ton of trouble ramping up testing. there's a two-week backlog of testing in new jersey right now. and firsthand accounts of what it takes to even get you a test will keep you up at night. this is from "the new york times." quote, the lines start forming the night before as people with glassy eyes and violent coughs try to get tested for the virus. in the darkness they park their cars, cut their engines and try to sleep. two weeks ago at the bergen commune college in paramus, a drive-through fema testing site in new jersey, residents had to arrive by 3:00 a.m. to get a spot. within days they were told to show up at 11:00 p.m. the night before. y

but we will work with new jersey, connecticut. octomom -- we come up -- optimum, we come up with one plan for all three states. if we cannot come up with the exact same plan, similar plans. we have a tri-state workforce, right? you have people who live in westchester who work in connecticut. you have people living in connecticut who work in new york city. this all works as one or does not work. transportation works with economic development, with housing, with schools, or it does not work. you cannot have one year -- gear spinning if the other gears are not spending. that does not work. you cannot have new york city work without nassau, suffolk, westchester, jersey, and connecticut. about a third of the workforce in new york city comes from outside of new york city or leaves newer city to go to work in that area. it has got to work for the whole region or it does not work. reporter: how will you respond to localities who say we are going to continue to shut down after the state would like it to be shut down? how would you respond

is jersey part of that? is new jersey forming consortiums to increase purchasing power? any other strategies to try to acquire this essential gear? finally, how much has jersey spent to date buying ppes and other ventilators? >> you've got to tell mike if he's going to have that many questions, he's got to show up. i'll give you the broad answers. we long ago, i don't know when it was, but long ago, pat's going to come in and correct me or judy, probably a couple of weeks ago, realized, at least, this is more than that, that ppe, separate from ventilators, ppe was going to need to be sourced from a whole range of places and folks, providers, including folks who donated as well as folks who we're going to buy from. that's all around new jersey, around the country, around the world. as i mentioned earlier with andy when andy was here, been on the phone myself with asian and back and forth on email i might add with european folks literally this morning. ventilators, on the other hand, there have been, and, pat, you should, or judy, correct me, it's expensive. i think pat sa

it is the new jersey story. she got her first job on the night shift at a dunkin' donuts in kearny while her first husband looked after their three children, including a son with special needs. eventually, she was hired as a bank teller. the aluminum able to help the polish speaking customers and soon became an advocate and resource for the polish community across wellington, passaic, and garfield. she rose up the letter to become a bank manager. and after becoming suddenly widowed at the age of 42, she went back to school and became a certified tax collector and worked for the borough of wellington for five years. and then as tax collector, chief financial officer, and school treasurer. alice suffered a stroke in 2011 and fought her way back to keep working, but her light was forever dimmed by covid-19 on monday. she leaves her husband marion, her three children and three grandchildren, and a fort on the way. more on that in a moment. she has passed along for belief in public services as two of her children ear

my partner's family is from new jersey. i have lots of friends who live in new jersey.ots of people who work on the rachel maddow show live in new jersey and have connections there and i know anecdotally that the, that the inability to access tests and then to get your results if you have been able to get a test, is causing just a huge amount of anxiety, really just feels like a crucial bott bottleneck in your state's ability to handle this. tell me what's going on there and what your plan is to try to get around that. >> listen, in a perfect world, we've been screaming for universal testing from day one. we just haven't been able to get the materials to either take the swabs, the intake side, or the personal protective equipment necessary to protect our health care workers. there's a little bit of good news and a lot of challenges so i think we're the fifth most amount of tests of any american state. we're the 11th largest state, population-wise. so i guess at one level, that looks good. and another level, you look at the video tape, that you're showing, and you look a

ando natalie, new milford new jersey thanks you. i want to give a shout out to the leaders across middlesex county, starting with our dear friend the director and his team and the amazing cross county partnerships that have been forged to ensure health care workers have the ppe that they need to stay safe on the job. this runs the gamut in middlesex county. producingthe place face shields and mask extenders on 3-d printers to the staff of georgia street playhouse putting knowledge from building sets and props to produce and assemble ppe. it continues to the fire academy which has spearheaded ppe donation drives to benefit first responders. the ghost of the county office of health services. and hopi people administrate tests in the drive-through testing sites. i say it takes a village. in this case it county. -- i think you. new jersey thanks you and keep up the great work. i thank all of you who have been working nonstop in homes and communities to stop the spread. we cannot let up. we can't let a beautiful spring day like this allo

one is what we're doing in new jersey. that is a constant, and we were having a discussion on this today. you have the firefighting team and the where do we go when we put the fire out team, and whether we like it or not, the numbers of those two teams are overwhelmingly the same people, so that is constant. the next part is the regional grouping of seven states now that elise was asking about, and that is early stage, but each of the seven states, it is fair to say, are having similar deliberations to our deliberations, so our pointing there is to have someone on board in collaboration. we see something other states are doing that is really impressive that we like, we will have no shame to rip a page out of that playbook and apply it. it is mostly to harmonize and coordinate. under the theory that we did that when we're closing, let's do that when we are opening. it is a little broader, but i think that is a good thing. we are the densest state in america, the densest region and america, so there is a lot of commonality.

i encourage everyone to tune in at 7:00 tonight for the jersey for jersey fundraiser for the new jerseyandemic relief fund. as i said, it will feature some of our states' global talents. , danny devito, chris rock, kelly ripa and say kwon bartley among others. thealso touched to mention surviving members will be performing. tribute toa special the band cofounder who we lost to covid-19. it will all be broadcast live on virtually every single local television station and on radios up and down the state and streamed online. the best part is 100% of the proceeds will go to help those impacted by covid-19. another way to support new jersey pandemic relief is tonight's 9:00 jersey takeover on hq trivia featuring only in new jersey trivia questions. play along. for every player during the jersey takeover, one dollar will be donated to the fund. everybody, tune in at 7:00 for the extraordinary fundraiser and 9:00 for hq trivia. , note i turn things over only do we talk about discharges, but people who got sick and got better or folks who have mild symptoms and to get back in the saddle and are

that is sort of -- that is the reality we see in new jersey. we want to get back to some kind of a normal. who wouldn't? we want to do that, but we cannot do that if it means we put lives at risk. we just can't do that. we will continue to call the shots based on the facts. i can't speak for the decisions that get made or don't get made in florida, but i do know if you stick to the facts and you stick to the data, i think you get something that looks like what we are doing. we can't predict timing either. i think it is fair to say we know what the program needs to look like. i think. we just don't know -- i can't give you a date because there is a fair amount of hip bones connected to the thigh bones. of putting the house fire out and the faster we can do that together, and thanks to everybody helping us do that because you are the ones who are doing that, the faster we can get to the other steps we need to take. thank you. we will go over to brent here. are you all right? >> how can you say the curve is flattening if you're not testing more pe

new jersey sex persons one of the largest outbreaks in the country. first things first, do you know why or has there been any discovery as to why new jersey was hit so hard? was it because of proximity to new york or another reason? >> yeah, i think a couple of reasons, trevor. number one, we are part of the metro new york reality, particularly in the northern part of the state. so if you look at the six counties that have been hit the hardest in new jersey, they're all commuting counties into new york. i think, secondly, it has to be said we're the densest state in america so once this thing got going, it spread particularly in those counties but like every county in our state like wildfire. it's a combination of those. >> trevor: the white house reported recently new jersey is one of the places where the coronavirus is under control and the numbers are starting to decline. so my first question to you would be is that true and, if so, what is the game plan for reopening the states? nobody wants to rush, but everybody understands that, at some point,

we all live in new jersey. we are new jerseyans, we are americans, that is how we are going to approach this. extraordinary bipartisan cooperation. i had been texted by at least two republican legislators as i have been sitting here, to each of their credit, saying to stay strong, and i will never forget that spirit of we are all in this together. all i have said on these hearings is that if they take place, they better darn well acknowledge the environment in which we are in. this is related to the tolls. so we cannot congregate. they have to do these by sub virtual means. they have got to do them with an extended common period. i think it was south jersey in particular, you have to have an 800-number with a human on the other end prepared to take the calls. saideyond that, i have that i feel strongly that transportation-related money needs to be the direct source wherever possible for transportation projects. and that we are going to wake up from this at some point, please god, sooner rather than later. we ha

we are new jersey tough. we are flattening the curve that leads to lower hospitalizations and numbers of lives lost. as time goes on and the weather gets better, it is not getting any easier. we have deep respect and appreciation but you have got to keep at it, folks. please stay out and if we do, we will beat this. we had a good call with our legislative brothers and sisters earlier today, good update on how we see things. we took questions and had good follow-up. i want to thank them. it takes a village to win this war and that includes the strength of legislative bodies. i cannot thank them enough for their spirit of teamwork. we don't have any new announcements but i want to reiterate something. i signed an executive order allowing for renters to have security deposits used to cover rent payments either in part or in full. this order takes on increased importance. we must also reiterate no renters are to be threatened with eviction through this emergency. under no circumstances may any landlord attempt to
