in new york, medical students at nyu just got this stark request for their service as well. quote, we ask for your help. the medical school and the university have agreed to permit early graduation for students who agree to begin working as an intern now. this is consistent with the national discussion regarding the early graduation of eligible medical students so they can join the health care work force prior to the typical july 1 starting date. we are writing to ask you to consider this option. we will permit students in the class of 2020 to graduate early, if they, with the graduation requirements, to voluntarily work as an md in the emergency medicine departments beginning in april. please note that you don't have to be going into the fields of internal medicine or emergency medicine to join our physicians in the fight against covid-19. >> these are medical students at nyu, being asked to stop med school now, in their final year, months before they would have graduated, to instead graduate now, and answer the call to service, to come help. joining us now is gabrielle may

caplan is director of the nyu langone medical center. i should say that dr.we're all very familiar now throws shade on us even having this dialogue. let's watch. >> there is no situation in the united states right now that warrants that kind of discussion. you can be thinking about it in a hospital, certainly, many hospitals talk about this on a daily basis. but to say that to the american people, to make the implication that when they need a hospital bed, it's not going to be there, or when they need that ventilator, it's not going to be there. we don't have an evidence of that right now. and it's our job collectively to ensure the american people, it's our collective job to make sure that doesn't happen. >> dr. caplan, are these conversations taking place in hospitals across the country? >> absolutely. and they should. and i disagree with dr. birx on this. it's not that we have to go out and say to people, you know, the time has come for rationing today. but you can look at hospitals in new york city and in northern new jersey, they're getting close to capa

reed caldwell nyu langone emergency medical center. dr. caldwell, thank for joining us today.eople were startled to hear it when it came from the cdc can you give us any insight on ages of patients coming in at nyu langone? >> yes, hi, thanks for having me. we were expecting to see an older population heavily hit by covid-19. we are seeing a large number of patients in the age range that you mentioned, the 30 to 50, 30 to 60-year-old age range. connell: in severity of the cases is it different by age? another thing we saw from the cdc data, many of the deaths are from the older people even with the hospitalizations with somewhat younger people? >> i think that's right. we are seeing some variability and some unpredictability with who is getting quite sick and who is having the patients which are having mild to moderate symptoms. connell: i want to broaden the discussion a little bit. there is so much discussion about hospitals overwhelmed at some point and already understress. there was opinion piece written in "the new york times" by a new york based doctor, i don't think she

natalie azar, a rheumatologist at nyu langone medical center here in new york.ning. >> good morning. >> i'm going to start with one of my own questions and that is this idea of social distancing. we've been talking about keeping me safe and i. now we're talking about we. what are the implications of that? >> this changed in the last week or so, willie. the guidance has been do i go out, do i go here and it was really talking about if you're an older individual with underlying medical problems, is that safe for you. and that was because primarily we were thinking of this as this is a virus that will be transmitted if you are symptomatic and so it would be easy to tell people to stay away from someone who's coughing or sneezing if you have those susceptibilities. i think we're shifting now. the idea of social distancing applies to everybody. it is a public health strategy to try to limit the transmission of a pathogen. in this case the coronavirus. >> i think you've answered the first question but i'll read it to you. katie from kansas wants to know if i don't hav

[applause] was the idea of a second-year student at nyu law school. who was very disappointed in the court's decision in the shelby county case. that was a case in which the court declared unconstitutional the key provision of the voting rights act of 1965. it had been renewed time and again by overwhelming majorities on both sides of the aisle. court struckme down the formula. the way the voting act worked a state or are city or a county that kept african-americans from voting in the not so good old days, you could not make any change in voting legislation unless you precleared it with the department of justice, civil rights division or with a three-judge district court. suppressede check many laws that would have discouraged african-americans from voting. the supreme court said the formula for who is discriminating in 1965 is now out of date. overess needs to do it because jurisdictions that were discriminating in 1965 may have clean hands today. the political problem was, what member of congress, what senator, what representative would stand up and

after wayne state law school you went to nyu to get a masters in tax. stephen: yes.avid: then you went back to detroit and worked at a tax firm? stephen: i was a tax lawyer. to new yorkyou went in investment banking. stephen: i thought i would go back to detroit eventually but it was like i came home to a place i've never been. new york is an exciting place for young people that really want to succeed. david: you work at bear stearns and then you got fired. did you get fired because you are smarter than everybody else and they didn't like smart people. ? stephen: sounds good. how hard is it to call up your mother and say "i have a law degree, i have a masters in tax, i got fired." stephen: i wanted to stay in new york. i didn't know what to do. i didn't think i could get a job. i thought at that point in time "what do i know, where the good opportunities are?" thought up a process, wrote out a business plan and i started my own company. lend youur mother $10,000? -- lent you $10,000? stephen: i had to live. david: you started a company called related. where did you g

[applause] it was the idea of a second year whoent at nyu law school was very disappointed in the court'sn in a case. if that was the case -- and that was the case where it was declared unconstitutional to keep -- voting rights act of 19 six to five. -- 1965. and it had been renewed time and time again by overwhelming majority on both sides of the aisle. but the supreme court stepped down the formula. worked the voting act was if you were a state or a city or county that kept african-americans from voting in the not so good old days, you could not make any change in young legislation on this precleared it with the department of justice, civil rights decision or the district of columbia. so that suppressed many laws that would have discouraged african-americans from voting. the supreme court said the formula of who is discriminating in 1965 is now out of date. overess needs to do it because jurisdictions that were discriminating in 19 625 may have clean hands today. the political power was what member of congress, what representative would stand up and say my state or my city or my county

what nyu is doing is supporting its physicians. we wrote a piece in the new england jurcournal of medicine t week, ezekiel manuel put a piece together about the resource allocation in the middle of covid-19. what that gets is to is how do we decide who gets a ventilator and who doesn't? what new york is doing is helping to alleviate the burden of the individual physician by trying to enact some measures, some guidelines by which doctors don't have to make that decision on their own and then live with that decision the rest of their life. i'm also recommending that from all hospitals, but i feel like we should be seeing that from our professional societies as well as perhaps from the federal government from the cdc so that we don't have to live with that burden alone. >> yeah. i mean, doc, just so that we understand, what nyu langone says is these guidelines already existed, they're just remind their doctors that they have their backs and that these conversations are starting. do you see they as yet the next step in rationing? or fu

. >> after wayne state law school, you went to nyu to get a masters in tax?yeah. >> and then you went back to detroit? >> i was a tax lawyer. >> and then you went to new york question mark --? >> i was thinking i will go back to detroit eventually. i came home to a place i had never been. once you are in new york, it is an exciting place for people who want to succeed. >> you work at bear stearns and then you got fired. did you get fired because you were smarter than everybody else and they is not like smart that soundsen: good. call up your mother and you tell her you have a law degree, a masters, -- >> i wanted to stay in new york. i did not think i would be able to get a job. i did not want to go through that process again. that point in time, what do i know and where are the opportunities and where do i have my interest and passion and i thought of the process and wrote out a business plan. i started my own company. >> your mother lent you $10,000? did you ever pay it back? >> yes, more or less. >> she did not want equity in your company? if she had equit

david: then you went to nyu to get a masters in tax.hen you went back to detroit and worked in an accounting firm? stephen: i was a tax lawyer. david: then you went to new york for investment banking? stephen: that's where i ended up working for an investment banking firm. thinking i would go back to detroit eventually. it was like i came home to a place i have never been. once you go to new york, it's an exciting thing. david: you work at bear stearns and you got fired. stephen: right. david: did you get fired because you're smarter than everyone else and they didn't like smart people? stephen: that sounds good. [laughter] david: how hard is it to call up your mother and say i have a law degree and a masters in tax and i have been fired. is that hard? stephen: i needed money. i wanted to stay in new york. i did not know what i would do. i didn't think i would be able to get a job, and i did not want to go through that process again. i thought at that point in time, what do i know? where are the great opportunities and where are my inte

saleen gounder, medicine and infectious diseases at nyu and the house of the epidemic podcast. thank you so much. good to see you again as well. the president is claiming that large sections of the country don't have coronavirus and the problem is confined. how is there any way to know that since there still isn't enough testing, how is there any way to know that? >> well, it's absolutely impossible to know that. we know this is a highly infectious virus. people in the u.s. travel to visit loved ones. they've travelled over the holidays. some of this transmission was probably starting in the u.s. over the winter holidays, probably late december, early january. and so there's really no way without testing to know for sure, especially in the middle of a really bad influenza season, flu season, where those cases are going to get conflated, mixed up with the coronavirus cases. and it's really hard to distinguish the two. >> the world health organization warning tonight that relaxing restrictions too soon could cause a resurgence. how big of a threat is that? >> it's a really tremen

that is paul romer, professor of economics at nyu.ined by former minneapolis fed president narayana kocherlakota. james bullard said you could see a contraction of 30% in gdp and the second quarter. what do you think we could see if we keep going like this in the u.s.? said, andas paul just i have known paul for years, i think we are in unfamiliar territory. 50% arelike 30% or completely in the ballpark. it is important to remember that in the united states, we report our numbers on an annualized basis. these are still horrific falls, but a 30% fall reported in gdp really corresponds to something more akin to an 8% order to corder move. that is a nuance. we are in uncharted territory where we will see big negative numbers in the second quarter. alix: the rhetoric today is that the fed through the kitchen sink at the problem to fix it. in your mind, is there anything left that the fed can do if this gets worse? narayana: i don't think it is a movie would make now, but i think, maybe not so much in terms of things getting worse, but rat

nyu said two weeks from the onset of symptoms. then the mom also doing her own research looked at the cdc website which said two days -- two weeks from leaving italy. the mom goes, okay, these all have different end dates. i'm going to play it as conservatively as possible as a concerned citizen and keep my daughter at home as long as possible. >> we're all in the position of directing our own public health response to these matters at this point. it's remarkable. it's very helpful reporting that's infuriating. caroline chen, thank you for your time. thanks for your reporting. >> thank you for having me. >> i would shake your hand but i don't do that anymore. >>> up next, we will look at how some other countries are doing quarantines. what steps they are taking that appear to be working and saving lives, stuff we're not doing here. that and more ahead tonight. stay with us. night. stay with us hey there! kelly clarkson! what're you doing on our sofa? what're you doing on your sofa? try wayfair. you got this! woah. yeah! let me try

nyu and-- are doing everything we can to get what we need. on a normal day when we see a patient like a patient with covid, we would be frepue tot on the full protective equipment that we need. when we leave the room, we change that equipment and put on ext equipment for the patient.that is not the case no. we do have equipment for the short-term but we don't know at is going to happen. and we are doing things like iting a mask for the entire shift until advicably is soiled. and those are things that are u tricky fon the problem. >> so normally you would take one mask, one face sheeld per patient. yeah, the whole thing is you want to protect yourself, you want to take anything that may have gotten on that, carefullya remove thek and dis card it and then you start fresh with the next patient.e sometimes we hat we are calling super spreader events. these are events such as a incubation which is when we have to put a breathing tube down somebody's takeia. these are super spreader events because the virus is spread much more rapidly because we ar

lippy roy from nyu langone health. welcome both.e, tell us what's happening in brooklyn, because it sounds as though the situation in new york state and new york city in particular is really dire. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, andrea. as we've been reporting, in new york state, the state has about 5% of the confirmed cases worldwide now. you just heard from governor cuomo. this morning he really seemed frustrated at many people in new york city in particular that over the weekend did not socially distance. in fact, he has shown a picture of people crowded in a farmers market over the weekend, and so, that is why he has issued the order today that became mandatory for all businesses, as you heard, in the state to have at least -- excuse me, for all hospitals to expand their capacity by 50%, and also to potentially expand them by 100%. the reason for that being, andrea, is that there have been concerns for the past several days, governor cuomo saying at the peak of this crisis, new york city could need 110,000 beds. right now we ha

clinical associate professor at nyu school of medicine. nice to see you both.got both of your names close to right and there's no way i'm going to get the name of the person who submitted the first question right. i'm not going to try. can you have the coronavirus without having a fever or shortness of breath but have what you think is a really bad cold sore throat congestion with body aches? doctor, it seems as though you can have the coronavirus and have all sorts of different symptoms. >> right. you can have just body aches sore throat kind of common cold or severe flu-like symptoms and not have shortness of breath and still have the coronavirus. if you have those symptoms, you should think about yourself having the coronavirus. you may not necessarily need to be tested for it, but you should think and act as if you have the coronavirus and protect others from being infected by you. leland: all right. doctor, this is from heather for healthcare workers with exposure, does it have a cumulative effect, more exposure equals increased severity of illness? we hav

so this mom then went out of her own way, you know, got a televisit with nyu's e.r.here they said, you know, we don't have enough testing capacity, so then suggested that she self-isolate the daughter. but then here is where we have an example of different standards. >> mm-hmm. >> so at this point the pediatrician also said if you want to play it safe, you can stay at home. the pediatrician said two weeks from the date of the doctor's office. >> okay. >> the nyu e.r. doctor said two weeks from the onset of symptoms. the mom also again doing her own research looked up the cdc's website, which says two days from leaving italy. >> two weeks from leaving italy. >> yes. so then the mom goes these all have different end dates. i'm going to play it as conservatively as possible as a concerned citizen and keep my daughter at home as long as possible. >> because we're all in the position of directing our own public health response to these matters at this point. >> yes. >> it's just -- it's remarkable and it's very helpful granular reporting that is really infuriating. caroli

also with nyu langone health. is and explain what that what it's like right now? health is one of the large hospitals that's been in new york. it's two medical schools. it's multiple hospitals. many many offices scattered throughout the tri-state area. and a leader in research and health care. we are just a system. it's just a hospital system in some ways. and what's been going on there, i'm mostly in the outpatient realm still. in myer words i am still office. i'm still seeing people in the office on an outpatient basis. i'm still doing telehealth. but one of the things that's happening there and every hospital system in new york is the converting of beds from one purpose to another. meaning that the orthopedics ward for example has become a covid ward. a hospital from renovation have become a covid ward. what's really happening there is an incredible mass of change as we convert over from basically a tertiary hospital system to a hospital system that is devoted to taking care of covid with a very small section for those that don't have it or are still in the hos

hall of fame, which happens to be in the bronx at a college that is not nyu, but that's another story, had a lee and a jackson statue. so, the governor of new york ordered them removed. i have no clue what happened to those statues and i know the governor. but i don't know where they are and he won't tell me. [laughter] harold there was no discussion. there was no adjudication but , they're gone. there was a lee avenue in brooklyn, leading to headquarters that robert ely used when he was stationed in new york. the name was changed. there is a tree that he had planted outside of the house where he had stayed, which was chopped down or uprooted, and then it turns out it was not the original tree. it was a replacement tree. [laughter] here's one other example. the mayor of new york established a statue and memorial committee to examine all of the statues built in new york city and determined which of them offended the public sensibility. they started talking about columbus and then the fight became huge, a bridge too far in new york city. so they focused on a statue outside the new york

and so quickly i cannot thank the nyu leadership enough for giving us this tool.nts can see me as i am now in the living room without leaving their homes, without causing themselves any risk or anybody else any risk. and the technology has already arrived. i do believe this crisis has a silver lining where telemedicine will become available widely for many americans permanently. pete: doctor, described as a front line right now. a place where people can go to get their questions answered. things that they otherwise wouldn't want to go to the hospital for. are you seeing patients who feel like they have symptoms of covid-19 and if you are, how are you dealing with that? >> so, in my practice, i'm an expert in breathing and sleep. but many people coming for routine care are asking questions about coronavirus. we have a very safe strategy. we screen patients before they come to the building. we direct them to a virtual urgent care. we are already triaging people at risk. most of my consultations are now focused in what they can do. i would say the front line can be c

wayne state law school, you went to nyu to get a masters in tax? stephen: yes.: ok, then you went back to detroit and worked in an accounting firm? stephen: i was a tax lawyer. david: tax lawyer. and then you went to new york? stephen: right. david: in investment banking. stephen: that is where i ended up working in investment banking. i was thinking i will go back to detroit eventually. it is like i came home to a , place i had never been. once you are in new york, it is an exciting place for people who really want to succeed. david: ok. so you work at bear stearns and then you got fired. stephen: right. david: and did you get fired because you just were smarter than everybody else and they is -- they did not like smart people? stephen: that sounds good. [laughter] david: all right. how hard is it to call your mother up and say i have a law degree, a masters in tax, and i have been fired? is that hard? stephen: i needed money. [laughter] i wanted to stay in new york. i did not know what i would do. i did not think i would be able to get a job. i did not want to

i know you have a view of what your experience at nyu. but is there a need for ventilators?t tell you on the citywide level what the exact need is. i can tell you that cases are still rising. we are seeing more and more people. and resources stay limited. it's obviously going to -- there is going to be inflection point in which we run out. ainsley: what exactly do you need at your hospital? >> again, i would tell you we need more of everything. because we have prepared for more of everything. we have to prepare for more people coming in every single day. steve: all right. doctor, i was reading in the "new york times" this morning that apparently women, you know, aside from covid-19 cases coming in your front door, women who come in to the hospitals, some of the hospitals in new york are being told that they can't bring their spouse or their partner or anybody with them because the hospitals are treating everybody expectant mothers as if they have covid-19. that's something that didn't dawn on a lot of people but have you got to figure every single person who walks in the doo

. >> you're in professional health at nyu. >> correct. >> what's your question?ve enough kits, why aren't we testing everyone and how do we determine who we will test? >> yeah, what i just said what will be available. today this evening, we don't have enough to do what we want to do. in the next week to two, it will rev up so that we will. and the first thing you want to do is you want to make it available to people who are trying to make a diagnosis on someone who comes in with symptoms to determine if, in fact, they do have coronavirus. but in addition to that, they should be the kind of sentinel screening to get to the answer that anderson just asked the question about. >> dr. fauci, before we let you go, i want to ask a simple question. for someone out there tonight who's got a cough, maybe they have a little fever, they haven't been to wuhan, they've just been living their life and they're freaked out, what should they do? because obviously you don't want everybody who has the flu or cough to go into an emergency room demanding a test that is not available.

. >> reporter: private hospitals like nyu langone are also making plans. >> i think the cdc was undertestingr. jennifer lighter manages infection control and says the center'stei a month. >> to really establish a new test needs a certain amount of validation and times. >> reporter: across the east river li forest hills hospital, health care workers are preparing for a potential surge of coronavirus patients. the hospital sits between two of new york city's two international airports. officials here are concerned this could become an epicenter for coronavirus, but say they are prepared. >> what we're doing right now is we're trying to screen for anybody that would be at a high risk. >> reporter: dr. teresa amato is director of emergency medicine. >> it's really important to be overscreening in some sense. we'd rather isolate more patients than less. >> reporter: there have been no suspected coronavirus cases ,at ncni immediately given a mask is isolated. >> this is where a patient would difference between a negative r pressure room and a regular room? >> our regular rooms just have regular ai

david: after wayne state law school, you went to nyu to get a masters in tax? stephen: yes.d then you went back to detroit, and you worked at an accounting firm? stephen: i was a tax lawyer. david: tax lawyer. and then you went to new york? in investment banking? stephen: that is where i ended up working for the investment banking firm. and thinking i would go back to detroit eventually. but you know, it is like i came , home to a place i had never been really. once you are in new york, it is been really. once you are in new york, it is an exciting place for young people that really, you know, want to succeed. david: ok. so you work at bear stearns, and then you got fired. stephen: right. david: did you get fired because you just were smarter than everybody else, and they did not like smart people? what do you think the reason was? stephen: that sounds good. [laughter] david: all right, ok. how hard is it to call your say, i have got a i have got law degree, a masters in tax, and i have been fired? is that hard? stephen: i needed money. i wanted to stay in new york. you know

one thing i got a message just before i came here and that was from the nyu president.yu family to not travel internationally for the next 60 days. >> i see florida has issued that, google. a number of major companies. >> we're a huge university, 11 campuses overseas. that was a little surprising for me, but i think prudent at this stage. >> be prudent, do necessary things don't panic. >> get the thermometer, get the cans, the stuff that you may need if you do have symptoms certainly, so you don't have to go out. i have a question whether some place like fresh direct or whole foods, will they deliver for people who are kooped up for 14 days? >> thank you for joining us at the nyu department of epidemiology and global public health. >>> elizabeth warren scores a big endorsement from emily's list. a record breaking number of women elected to congress during the 2018 midterms. is this enough to give warren the boost she needs tonight to stay in the race? needles. essential for the sea urchin, but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. because there are options. li

we speak to nyu professor emeritus edward altman, predicting if a company will go bust.berg. ♪ guest expectst bankruptcy sometime soon due to the coronavirus, nyu professor emeritus of finance, edward altman, known for pioneering work and rejecting the likelihood a company will go bankrupt. great to have you with us. what is your formula telling us about what the next three to six months will look like in corporate america but also globally? edward: we have been looking very carefully at the high-yield bond market. in addition, there is a very ratednumber of bonds just above high-yield or bbb's. we ran a test on the bbb population before a virus as ofic situation started the end of 2019. we found there were already more than 30% of that population, that population is more than 3 wereion u.s. dollars, that looking, they did not deserve to bb or b.but we expect a fairly large proportion of them to be downgraded at least by the market if not i the rating agencies -- if not by the rating agencies. there is almost 100% likelihood of a recession going forward. this will have a
