and a 350-bed temporary hospital is opening at the billy jean king national tennis center, famously the home of the u.s. open. this morning, new york governor andrew cuomo, whose brother and cnn anchor chris kwocuomo, just tested positive. people all want to know the answer to one question -- when will this end? >> i can say this. it's not going to be soon. if our apex is 14 to 21 days, that's our apex. you then have to come down the other side of the mountain once you hit the apex. so calibrate yourself and your expectations so you're not disappointed every morning you get up. >> joining me is new york city councilman mark levin, chair of the council committee on health. look, you know, the governor has been very blunt about where we are, but one of the most shocking statistics i saw was that in a six-hour span, 124 new yorkers died of the coronavirus. that's a death about every three minutes. so far, nearly 1,000 deaths in new york city alone. so what is your best intel. if this isn't the peak, what will new york look like in two to three weeks, councilman? >> well, by any forecast, a

hospital behind me who is in isolation. we just learned of two more cases here in king county washington, a man in his 60s hospitalized in rentonis was a gentleman who also had underlying health issues. and another man in his 60s at the virginia mason medical center. in all n the seattle area, king and snohomish counties we are talking about eight cases they are looking at. in addition, there is a nursing home, skilled nursing facility about a mile from here. there are two cases out of there. one a resident, one a worker. but 50 people who have exhibited symptoms. so they are checking to see whether they have an outbreak there and what to do about it. and this also was the site of the first coronavirus covid-19 case in the u.s. back in january. and the fear is that it has been spreading locally ever since then. so we could be looking at hundreds of people that are affected. >> kelly o'donnell vice president mike pence was on meet the press this morning speaking to chuck todd. here is part of what he said. >> the encouraging news is that of the now 22 americans, including the man who sadly lost his life, the majority of them are

they're relying on the hospitals to help them out. we checked in with king county yesterday, they don't have enough tests to give them to all the people who would like to be tested at this point. so they're looking to get more of those tests to help out and finish trying to figure out where this one virus has made its way into this nursing facility. that's what they're working on now. still, that's unclear. what's more of a priority is just getting the people tested who need to be and then getting them quarantined, which they're planning on doing in this motel they're purchasing for $4 million to quarantine these individuals so they can recoup from coronavirus. poppy and jim. >> okay, stephanie, thank you for that. >>> former baltimore city health commissioner john harwood is with us from the house. sanjay, let me begin with you. the president said something last night, contradicting what the world health organization has said about how fatal coronavirus is, and what dr. anthony fauci said, head of nih. here is what the president said last night. let's liste

200 additional hospital beds for people infected with the coronavirus who can't be quarantined at home. it will hopefully slow down the spread. these are going up in several locations as king county plans to create 3,000 additional hospital beds in the coming weeks. the number of cases has tripled in the last several days and the number of deaths have more than doubled. public gathering were shut down first in washington state and it's led to severe job losses. unemployment claims in the food service industry are up 600% as many restaurants have closed, but we are seeing a fair number of companies adjusting to a drive-through carry-out business model and it is helping feed the people and the public obviously and keeps some workers getting a paycheck. one business that could take off right now is a new way to sanitize airplanes and airports, using ultraviolet light. hospitals have been using uv light to clean operating rooms for decades. an orthopedic surgeon came up with the idea for his germ -- as he calls it, as a way to reduce the spread of the common flu on planes but he said it will also kill the coronavirus. >> the susceptibility to ultraviolet light is similar to th

king county, washington, 46 employees testing positive. in another nursing home, a doctor in his 40s is infected. hospitals reporting a spike in incoming patients and a shortage of protective equipment, crucial to protect themselves. hospitals scrambling to prepare for the onslaught. setting up tents outside emergency rooms. new york governor andrew cuomo calling on president trump to mobilize the military to build more hospitals. >> you will overwhelm the hospitals. you will have people on gurneys in hallways. that is what is going to happen now if we do nothing. >> reporter: another critical matter -- testing. people lining up in cars for drive-throughs. vice president pence repeatedly saying more tests will be available. >> by the weekend, another million tests will be shipped around the country. the expectation by the end of next week, 4 million tests will be shipped. >> reporter: but it's not as simple as just sending out the tests. the health care workers need to be in full protective gear. a number of states now saying they're concerned about a shortage of protective gear to keep clinicians safe. >>

hospital beds, in terms of intensive care resources. we've seen initial references to that when that sort of dramatic decision was made in king county to purchase a hotel for the use of people who need to be isolated but don't necessarily need to be hospitalized. local officials saying bluntly, we need to preserve hospital capacity for what we expect to be a real demand in the future. how do you plan for that? how much flexibility is there to upsize the number of beds, the number of ventilators, the number of icu beds that you might need? >> well, the good news is we've been planning for this for some time in the recognition that this is probably going to be needed, and there's easier and harder resources to acquire. the easier ones are providing isolation opportunities. that was the hotel that was purchased in kent, washington. we're doing that in the state where we've essentially provided rvs in a former youth justice facility so we can isolate people in safe quarters while they have to go through an isolation period. i think we're going to handle that with not too much difficulty. the difficulty issue in the surge capacity for hospit
